What Was The Point Of Undertaker's Return On WWE Raw & Why Is He The American Badass Again?
Without a doubt, The Undertaker is one of the most popular and well-known performers in WWE history. For years, the man behind the gimmick - Mark Calaway - protected that persona's otherworldly image by never appearing in public out of character. And as silly as that may seem to fans today, it was the way of the wrestling world back then. And make no mistake, The Undertaker took it that seriously.
While that may have been his philosophy throughout the first 10 years of his World Wrestling Entertainment tenure, in 2000, he flipped the script on everyone. After a brief absence, Undertaker would emerge as 'The American Badass', a tough, biker-type that was more in tune with Calaway's real-life personality. While Calaway was the one who pitched the idea of taking on a different role, he would eventually revert to his supernatural gimmick in 2002.
