Mark Calaway (born March 24, 1965) is an American real estate investor and professional wrestler, better known by the ring name The Undertaker. He is currently signed to World Wrestling Entertainment wrestling on its SmackDown! brand but is currently inactive due to an injury.

As of 2007, Calaway is one of the longest-tenured performers in WWE, having joined in 1990.

Before coming to World Wrestling Entertainment, Calaway began his wrestling career with World Class Championship Wrestling in 1984. He joined World Championship Wrestling in 1989. When WCW never renewed Calaway's contract at the end of 1990, he joined World Wrestling Entertainment (then known as the World Wrestling Federation) in November of that year.

He is undefeated at WrestleMania and is a five-time World Champion; four times as WWF/E Champion, and a one-time World Heavyweight Champion. He is also the winner of the 2007 Royal Rumble.

Early career

Calaway was trained as a professional wrestler by Don Jardine in 1984 at World Class Championship Wrestling. He received his trainings in WCCW for four years. In 1988, he left for Central Illinois Wrestling and worked there for a year. In 1989, he wrestled in Championship Wrestling Association/USWA Memphis where he wrestled as the masked "The Punisher". He also wrestled for USWA Texas and then left for World Championship Wrestling.

World Championship Wrestling (1989-1990)

His first mainstream exposure was in World Championship Wrestling (WCW). While there, he was known as "Mean" Mark Callous and wrestled as part of the Skyscrapers tag team along with "Dangerous" Dan Spivey and later as a singles wrestler. During his time in the Skyscrapers, he and Spivey were involved in a feud with the Road Warriors, but Spivey left before the feud came to an end. Calaway then took on the guidance of Paul E. Dangerously and muscled his way through guys like Brian Pillman and Johnny Ace. His most famous match in WCW was against Lex Luger for the NWA United States Championship at the 1990 Great American Bash, which he lost when Luger pinned him after a clothesline. Despite his strong showing against Lex Luger, WCW declined to renew Calaway's contract, and he signed with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in late October 1990. During that time, he also toured New Japan Pro Wrestling.

World Wrestling Federation/Entertainment

1990-1994

Calaway debuted in the World Wrestling Federation as The Undertaker on November 22 1990 at Survivor Series 1990 as the mystery partner of Ted DiBiase's Million Dollar team. About one minute into the match, Undertaker eliminated Koko B. Ware with his finisher, called the Tombstone Piledriver. After Survivor Series, Calaway was called Kane the Undertaker at several shows until "Kane" was dropped from his name, and he reverted back to simply "The Undertaker." (Kane later became the name for the Undertaker's kayfabe half-brother.) The appearance of Undertaker was modeled after a mortician from old Western movies, with the character being supposedly impervious to pain and possessing supernatural powers, such as teleportation and manipulation of flames and lightning. It was at this time that the Undertaker switched managers from Brother Love to Paul Bearer.

In 1991, the Undertaker's popularity grew rapidly. He made his WrestleMania debut at the seventh, defeating WWE Hall of Famer "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka. After a year of B-main events with Ultimate Warrior in body bag matches, Randy Savage, and Hulk Hogan, he defeated Hogan at Survivor Series 1991 to win his first WWF Championship. However, due to interference from Ric Flair during the match, WWE President Jack Tunney ordered a rematch for Tuesday in Texas six days later, where Undertaker lost the title back to Hogan. Between December 1991 and September 1993, the Undertaker did not lose a single match, the longest winning streak of the '90s.

Early in 1992, he had a falling out with ally Jake "The Snake" Roberts. After Roberts lost a match on Saturday Night's Main Event to Randy Savage, Roberts tried to attack Savage's manager/wife Miss Elizabeth with a steel chair. Undertaker stopped Roberts, thus turning face. He went on to defeat Roberts at WrestleMania VIII. He feuded extensively with wrestlers managed by Harvey Wippleman throughout 1992 and 1993, most notably Kamala, whom he faced and defeated in the first casket match in WWE history at Survivor Series 1992, and Giant Gonzales, whom he defeated by disqualification at WrestleMania IX and by pinfall at SummerSlam 1993.

In January 1994, he challenged then-WWF Champion Yokozuna, facing him in two casket matches at the 1994 Royal Rumble and Survivor Series 1994, where Chuck Norris was special guest referee. At the Royal Rumble, Yokozuna sealed Undertaker in the casket with the assistance of several other heel wrestlers, winning the match. The Undertaker's "spirit" appeared from inside the casket on the video screen, warning that he would return. This began Undertaker's first hiatus. In reality, he had a back injury that was getting worse, and he needed time off. An Undertaker "clone", dubbed "Underfaker" by the fans, appeared after WrestleMania X, played by Brian Lee and led by Ted DiBiase. This led to the resurrection of the real Undertaker and a battle at SummerSlam 1994 between the two, where the real Undertaker was victorious.

1995-1996

Throughout most of 1995, the Undertaker was feuding with members of Ted DiBiase's Million Dollar Corporation, including IRS and King Kong Bundy. At WrestleMania XI, while Undertaker was facing Bundy, Kama Mustafa stole the Undertaker's source of power, the urn, and disrespected Taker by converting it into a large gold necklace. The two faced each other in a casket match at SummerSlam. After putting on a great match, the Undertaker finally came out on top, closing the lid on Kama. Several weeks later, the Undertaker was assaulted by Yokozuna and King Mabel, which led to an injury of the eye orbital bone, forcing Undertaker into a period of absence for surgery. The Undertaker returned a while later wearing a Phantom-like ghostly grey upper facemask and defeated all of his competition. In 2002-2003, Kane wore a similar mask that was colored red and black.

The 1996 Royal Rumble saw the unmasking of the Undertaker in a WWF Championship match against Bret Hart. Diesel interfered in the match, costing the Undertaker the championship. One month later, while Diesel was facing Hart in a steel cage match, Undertaker came up from under the ring to drag Diesel underneath, allowing Hart the victory. This led to a match between the two giants at WrestleMania XII, in which the Undertaker was victorious.Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page). For the next few months, Mankind would ambush and cost the Undertaker several matches. The Undertaker faced Mankind for the very first time at the 1996 King of the Ring, where he lost against "The Deranged One".

The Undertaker's feud with Mankind grew more intense. They began taking their battles into crowds and backstage areas. The two also fought in the boiler room areas of different arenas. As a result, these events lead up to the first ever Boiler Room Brawl match between the two at SummerSlam 1996. Undertaker nearly won the match by using the ropes to fling Mankind off the edge of the ring apron. However, when Undertaker reached for the urn, Bearer hit him with it, turning on the Undertaker and allowing Mankind to incapacitate the Undertaker with the Mandible Claw, giving him the win.

After Paul Bearer's betrayal, the Undertaker took his rivalry with Mankind to a new level, resulting in a Buried Alive Match at In Your House 11: Buried Alive. Undertaker won the match after a Chokeslam into the open grave, but after interference from The Executioner, as well as the help of several other superstars, The Undertaker was ultimately "Buried Alive".

As a result, a match was made at the upcoming Survivor Series, again pitting the Undertaker against Mankind, with a unique stipulation. Hanging 20ft above the ring was Paul Bearer, enclosed in a steel cage. If Undertaker won the match, he would be able to get his hands on Paul Bearer. Even though Undertaker won the match, interference from The Executioner enabled Paul Bearer to escape the Undertaker's clutches.

The Undertaker then briefly turned his attention to The Executioner, who had become a thorn in his side since his arrival. At the following Pay-Per-View, the Undertaker finally did away with the masked Executioner. Towards the end of 1996 the Undertaker began feuding with another of Paul Bearer's minions, Vader, culminating in a loss to Vader at the Royal Rumble after interference from Paul Bearer.

After this loss, the Undertaker began to focus his attention on the WWF Championship.

1997-1999

In 1997, the night before WrestleMania 13, The Undertaker won three awards at the WWF Slammy Awards: Best Tattoo, Best Entrance Music, and Highest Magnitude. At WrestleMania 13, The Undertaker won his second WWF Championship from Sycho Sid at WrestleMania 13 in a No Disqualification match. After WrestleMania 13, Paul Bearer revealed that the Undertaker had burned his family's house, killing everyone except his brother. He announced that Undertaker's brother was still alive, waiting for revenge all these years. In defense, Undertaker responded that Kane, a pyromaniac, had set the fire and that his brother could not have survived.

Meanwhile, a number of wrestlers pursued Undertaker's title, including Vader, Faarooq, and Steve Austin. At SummerSlam 1997, referee Shawn Michaels accidentally hit Undertaker with a steel chair shot meant for Bret Hart, costing the Undertaker his WWF Championship. Although the chair shot was accidental, Michaels repeated this with added taunting in the oncoming weeks on RAW is WAR. This led to two well-received matches at In Your House: Ground Zero and In Your House: Badd Blood, where the Undertaker challenged Michaels to the first ever infamous Hell in a Cell Match.

During this match, Undertaker's storyline brother Kane made his debut, ripping off the door to the cell and then giving Undertaker a Tombstone Piledriver, Undertaker's trademark finisher, allowing Michaels to pin him. During the next few weeks, Paul Bearer and Kane often challenged the Undertaker to fight his brother, but these challenges were refused consistently by the Undertaker. The Undertaker's final encounter with Michaels was in the return of the casket match at the 1998 Royal Rumble. Again, Kane cost the Undertaker the win by trapping him in the coffin. Kane then went on to padlock the casket lid and set it ablaze. However, The Undertaker had disappeared when the casket lid was opened.

After a two-month hiatus, Undertaker returned to challenge and successfully defeat Kane at WrestleMania XIV with three Tombstone Piledrivers. The two had a rematch in the first ever Inferno match one month later at In Your House: Unforgiven, where the ring was surrounded by fire and the only way for a competitor to win was to set his opponent on fire. The Undertaker won by setting Kane's right arm on fire. Undertaker's longtime feud with Mankind was renewed afterwards, on an episode of RAW, when Mankind cost the Undertaker a number one contenders match against Kane. As a result, Undertaker and Mankind faced each other in a Hell in a Cell match at King of the Ring 1998.

In one of the most memorable matches in professional wrestling history, Undertaker threw Mankind off the roof of the sixteen foot cell onto the Spanish announcers' table below. He later chokeslammed Mankind through the roof of the cell into the ring and finally finished the match by back dropping and chokeslamming Mankind onto a pile of thumbtacks. The Undertaker was able to compete in the match even while sporting a legitimate broken foot. (For more, see Hell in a Cell - Undertaker vs. Mankind).

In July 1998 at Fully Loaded, Undertaker and Steve Austin defeated Kane and Mankind to win the WWF Tag Team Championship. Undertaker and Austin did not work well as a team during the match and their title defenses and their reign as tag champions lasted for only two weeks, as Kane and Mankind regained the titles on an episode of RAW. Undertaker then became the #1 Contender for the WWF Championship at SummerSlam 1998, now held by Austin. However, shortly before SummerSlam, Undertaker revealed that he and Kane were together as brothers. During the match, Undertaker told Kane that he would defeat Austin on his own, and even though Undertaker did not win the match, he handed Austin his belt back after the match in a show of respect.

However, in September, Undertaker began to show heel characteristics, becoming a tweener, when he and Kane revealed the fact that they were in cahoots to rid Austin of his title for Vince McMahon. At In Your House: Breakdown, Undertaker faced both Austin and Kane for Austin's WWF title. Undertaker and Kane pinned Austin simultaneously after a double chokeslam, so the title was vacated by Mr. McMahon, whose leg was then (kayfabe) broken by the brothers. This led to a match at In Your House: Judgment Day between the two brothers for the title, with Stone Cold as the Special Guest Referee. Near the end of the match, Paul Bearer came to the ring and asked Kane if he could hit Undertaker with a steel chair, but as Kane had his back turned, Bearer hit Kane with the chair, which gave the Undertaker the opportunity to hit Kane in the head with that chair, hinting of a reunion between Undertaker and Bearer. Undertaker went for the pin, but Austin, in typical Stone Cold fashion, refused to count the fall, attacked the Undertaker, and counted out both brothers. Finally, Undertaker turned heel the next night on RAW is WAR for the first time in over six years, reconciling with Paul Bearer and claiming that he and Bearer would unleash their Ministry of Darkness on the World Wrestling Federation. He also coldly admitted that he had indeed set the fire that killed his parents for which he had previously blamed Kane. The Undertaker participated in The "Deadly Games" tournament at Survivor Series 1998. After receiving a bye in the first round, The Undertaker defeated Kane in the quarterfinals. However, he lost to The Rock in the semifinals by disqualification when Kane interfered by chokeslamming The Rock.

After Survivor Series, Undertaker turned his attention to Austin for costing him the title at Judgment Day, viciously smashing Austin in the head with a shovel during a match with The Rock, returning the favor for what happened a month earlier. Vince McMahon scheduled a Buried Alive match between Undertaker and Austin in December 1998 at In Your House: Rock Bottom. In the weeks leading up to Rock Bottom, Undertaker became increasingly demonic and sadistic, attempting to embalm Austin alive and even having his druids chain Austin to his symbol (a crucifix) and having it raised high into the arena. However, Undertaker lost the match after Kane interfered.

In January 1999, Undertaker returned, remaining a monster heel and forming the Ministry of Darkness, explaining that he was taking orders from a "Higher Power." Eventually, the Ministry merged with Shane McMahon's Corporation heel stable to form the Corporate Ministry. During this time, The Undertaker went on to defeat Austin for his third WWF Championship at Over the Edge 1999 with help from Shane McMahon, the special referee. Two weeks later, it was revealed on RAW that Vince McMahon had been the Undertaker's "Higher Power" all along. After Undertaker lost the WWF title back to Austin one night after King of the Ring 1999 and a brutal First Blood match at Fully Loaded 1999, however, his relationship with the McMahons dissolved, and the Corporate Ministry disbanded.

Undertaker then started aiming for the WWF Tag Team Championship, teaming with the Big Show. He was scheduled to perform at Unforgiven 1999, contending for the WWF Championship. However, a groin injury knocked him out of action for the remainder of the year and part of the next. His absence was explained by The Undertaker's statement to Vince McMahon that he quit.

2000-2001

Undertaker was due to return to action for WrestleMania 2000, but a bicep injury in February 2000 delayed his return until May 2000.

Undertaker's gimmick was dramatically modified when he returned in May 2000 at Judgment Day 2000, inadvertently costing The Rock the WWF Championship to Triple H, in line with wrestling's change to a more realistic approach. His gimmick became that of an intimidating biker. Along with the gimmick change, Undertaker also began using the Last Ride (Elevated Powerbomb) as his finishing move, as opposed to the Tombstone Piledriver which had become synonymous with the Undertaker over the years. He was referred to as the "American Bad Ass." Unlike many gimmick changes with little or no explanation, this was generally well-received by fans, since it reflected his real-life personality.

At Judgment Day 2000, Undertaker took out all the members of the McMahon-Helmsley Faction, quickly turning face again. He went on to continue targeting their leader, WWF Champion Triple H. At King of the Ring 2000, Undertaker teamed with the Rock and Kane to defeat the team of Triple H, Shane McMahon, and Vince McMahon. Afterwards, he teamed with Kane to contend for the WWF Tag Team Championship. They defeated Edge and Christian, earning the right to face them the following week for the tag titles. However, Edge and Christian retained the titles. Kane turned on The Undertaker by chokeslamming him twice on the August 14 Monday Night RAW, which led to another match between the two at SummerSlam 2000. That match ended in a no-contest as Kane ran from the ring area after The Undertaker removed Kane's mask.

Undertaker challenged Kurt Angle for the WWF Championship at Survivor Series 2000. Angle gained the win over Undertaker following interference from Kurt's real life brother Eric Angle. Undertaker demanded and was awarded a spot in the six man Hell in a Cell Match for the WWF Championship at Armageddon 2000. Undertaker did not emerge victorious but highlighted the match by throwing one of the other competitors, Rikishi, off the roof of the cell.

In 2001, Undertaker reunited with Kane as the Brothers of Destruction and contested for the WWF Tag Team Championship once again. They received a shot at the Tag Titles at No Way Out 2001, facing Edge and Christian and then-champions the Dudley Boyz in a Tables Match. The Brothers of Destruction dominated almost the entire match but were not victorious.

Undertaker defeated Triple H at WrestleMania X-Seven and improved his WrestleMania winning streak to 9-0. He and Kane continued to focus on Triple H, who formed a surprise alliance with WWF Champion Steve Austin. After Austin and Triple H injured Kane's arm, the Brothers of Destruction were granted an opportunity to face Triple H and Austin. Undertaker and Kane managed to win the WWF Tag Titles from Edge & Christian and the right to face Triple H and Austin. At Backlash 2001, Triple H pinned Kane after attacking him with a sledgehammer, and the Brothers of Destruction lost the titles. With Kane injured, Undertaker began targeting Steve Austin and his WWF Championship. At Judgment Day 2001, Undertaker lost to Austin.

As part of the 2001 Invasion angle, The Undertaker's next nemesis was Diamond Dallas Page. Page was obsessively following The Undertaker's wife Sara. At SummerSlam 2001, WCW Tag Team Champions Undertaker and Kane defeated Page and his partner Chris Kanyon in a steel cage match to win the WWF Tag Team Championship. They were the first team to hold both the WCW and WWF tag team titles simultaneously.

At Survivor Series 2001, Undertaker teamed up with Kane, the Rock, Chris Jericho, and The Big Show to take on The Alliance's Steve Austin, Booker T, Rob Van Dam, Shane McMahon, and Kurt Angle. Angle pinned the Undertaker due to interference by Austin. After the Alliance was defeated, The Undertaker turned heel once again by forcing commentator Jim Ross to kiss Vince McMahon's ass. This was the beginning of a new persona for the Undertaker, as he cut his famous long hair short and now called himself Big Evil. At Vengeance 2001, the Undertaker beat Van Dam to capture the WWF Hardcore Championship.

2002-2003

At the 2002 Royal Rumble, Maven eliminated The Undertaker by dropkicking him from behind. Subsequently, The Undertaker eliminated Maven in return and brutally assaulted him backstage. On an episode of Smackdown!, The Rock mentioned The Undertaker's elimination at the Royal Rumble, angering The Undertaker. The Undertaker responded by costing The Rock the #1 contendership for the WWF Undisputed Championship. Their feud continued, with The Rock costing The Undertaker his match with Maven for the Hardcore Championship. The two faced off at No Way Out 2002, but The Undertaker lost due to interference from Ric Flair. Flair declined a challenge to wrestle Undertaker at WrestleMania X8, and, as a result, Undertaker assaulted his son David Flair. Ric Flair eventually accepted the match after the Undertaker threatened to inflict the same punishment on Flair's daughter. A no disqualification stipulation added, The Undertaker emerged with the win, improving his WrestleMania record to 10-0.

Undertaker defeated Steve Austin at Backlash 2002 to win the #1 contendership for the WWF Undisputed Championship. Later that night, he helped Hulk Hogan win his title match against Undisputed Champion Triple H. The Undertaker went on to defeat Hogan for his fourth world championship at Judgment Day 2002.

Undertaker soon turned face after he faced Jeff Hardy in a Ladder match, raising Hardy's hand after the match as a sign of respect. However, Undertaker lost his title at Vengeance 2002 to The Rock in a Triple Threat match that also involved Kurt Angle, although he was not even pinned. When contracts were open during the end of the feud between McMahon and Flair, The Undertaker switched from RAW to SmackDown!, alongside former RAW talent Brock Lesnar, Chris Benoit, and Eddie Guerrero. After defeating Test at SummerSlam 2002, Undertaker challenged Brock Lesnar in a title match at Unforgiven 2002, but the match ended in a double-DQ. Their feud carried over to No Mercy 2002 in a Hell in a Cell Match. Undertaker worked the match with a broken hand and eventually lost to the champion. Undertaker then suffered a kayfabe injury after the Big Show threw him off the stage in Memphis, sparking a feud.

The Undertaker returned at the 2003 Royal Rumble drawing #30, but he was the last man eliminated by Brock Lesnar. He then continued his feud with Big Show and defeated Show via submission at No Way Out 2003. A-Train attempted to attack Taker after the match, but Nathan Jones came to The Undertaker's aid. Undertaker began to train Jones to wrestle, and the two were scheduled to fight Big Show and A-Train in a tag team match at WrestleMania XIX. However, Jones was removed prior to the match, making it a handicap match, which Undertaker won with the help of Jones, improving his WrestleMania record to 11-0.

Undertaker went on to feud against the Full Blooded Italians, John Cena, A-Train, Brock Lesnar, and Big Show. He had two WWE Championship opportunities over the course of the year. The first, on the September 4 2003 SmackDown!, against Kurt Angle, ended in a no contest. The second, at No Mercy 2003, was a Biker Chain Match between Undertaker and Lesnar. With the help of Vince McMahon, Lesnar won, making it his second straight successful No Mercy WWE Title match against Undertaker. At Survivor Series 2003, Undertaker lost his Buried Alive Match against Vince McMahon when Kane interfered. After The Undertaker disappeared for some time following the match, Kane claimed that he was dead and buried forever.

2004-2005

In the weeks leading up to WrestleMania XX, Kane was haunted by vignettes proclaiming an Undertaker return. The first was during the Royal Rumble when Undertaker's bells tolled, distracting Kane and allowing Booker T to eliminate him.

At WrestleMania XX, the Undertaker finally returned, using the Deadman persona, again accompanied by Paul Bearer, and he defeated Kane. This persona could be best described as a hybrid of the classic Undertaker and the American Bad Ass. Three months later, Paul Bearer was kidnapped by the Dudley Boyz at the direction of Paul Heyman, who then took "control" of Undertaker in the storyline. At The Great American Bash 2004, Undertaker was forced to fight a handicap match against the Dudleys; and if he lost, Paul Heyman would bury Paul Bearer in cement. The Undertaker won but buried Bearer anyway, explaining that Bearer was merely a liability now and that he had no use for Bearer anymore. Fans were later told that Bearer was "seriously injured," but in reality, he was simply removed from WWE programming due to health reasons. The Undertaker would also remain as a face.

After defeating the Dudley Boyz, Undertaker challenged WWE Champion John Bradshaw Layfield to a title match at SummerSlam 2004, where Undertaker lost when he disqualified himself. At No Mercy 2004, Undertaker and JBL competed in the first ever "Last Ride" match, although Undertaker lost after Heidenreich interfered. After taking care of Heidenreich, Undertaker turned his focus to the WWE Championship once again. Along with Eddie Guerrero and Booker T, he challenged Bradshaw to a championship rematch at Armageddon 2004. The match turned into a Fatal Four Way, in which Undertaker was unsuccessful, again due to Heidenreich's interference. This led to a Casket Match between Undertaker and Heidenreich at the 2005 Royal Rumble, where Undertaker sealed Heidenreich in a casket for the victory.

Soon afterward, Randy Orton challenged The Undertaker to a match at WrestleMania 21, claiming that he would be the one to end The Undertaker's WrestleMania winning streak. Even with help from his father "Cowboy" Bob Orton, Randy failed, and the Undertaker improved his WrestleMania record to 13-0. Following WrestleMania, Undertaker took a two month hiatus from wrestling after the birth of his second daughter in late May 2005.

He returned for the June 16 episode of SmackDown! but lost to John Bradshaw Layfield, thanks to interference from Randy Orton. General Manager Theodore Long booked Muhammad Hassan in a match against Undertaker at The Great American Bash 2005, where he defeated Hassan in Hassan's last match in WWE. As a result of the win, he became #1 contender to the World Heavyweight Championship. However, JBL felt that he should be #1 contender. On the following SmackDown!, Undertaker lost a #1 contender match against JBL, once again due to interference from Randy Orton. With this, Undertaker resumed his feud with Orton.

At SummerSlam 2005, Undertaker and Randy Orton had a WrestleMania rematch, which Orton won. After weeks of their feud building up, Undertaker defeated Randy on the second episode of Friday Night SmackDown!. The two taunted each other with caskets, leading to a casket match, in which Undertaker lost to Randy and his father "Cowboy" Bob Orton, at No Mercy 2005. After the match, the Ortons poured gasoline on the casket and set it afire, much like Kane did in 1998. However, when the charred casket was opened, Undertaker had once again vanished. He then made a dramatic return at the 2005 Survivor Series, emerging from a burning casket.

Despite a controversial attack involving Eddie Guerrero's lowrider on the November 29, 2005 SmackDown! special, Undertaker returned on SmackDown! to haunt Orton and set up a Hell in a Cell match at Armageddon 2005. After winning the Hell in a Cell match, Calaway took a short hiatus from wrestling.

2006-2007

At the 2006 Royal Rumble, Undertaker returned during Kurt Angle's celebration of his world title defense against Mark Henry. He entered on a horse drawn cart and made his intentions known by destroying the ring with lightning bolts. Undertaker lost his match with Kurt Angle at No Way Out 2006 after a gruelling thirty minute bout. Undertaker cornered Angle after the match, and after a stare down, told Angle that he had his number and that he was not finished with him yet.

The Undertaker had his No Way Out rematch for the World Heavyweight Championship against Angle on SmackDown!. Mark Henry attacked Undertaker from behind, costing him the title. Undertaker challenged Mark Henry to a Casket Match at WrestleMania 22, and Henry, like Orton a year before him, vowed to end Undertaker's WrestleMania winning streak. Undertaker defeated Mark Henry to become 14-0 at WrestleMania, keeping his undefeated streak alive. During a rematch on the April 7 edition of SmackDown!, The Great Khali made his debut and began an assault on the Undertaker.

The Undertaker was not heard from until the May 5 edition of SmackDown!, as Teddy Long delivered a challenge from Undertaker to Khali for a match at Judgment Day 2006. Undertaker would go on to lose the match to Khali and did not appear again until the July 4 edition of SmackDown! to accept Khali's challenge to a Punjabi Prison match at The Great American Bash. Khali was removed from the match, due to elevated liver enzymes, and replaced by ECW Champion The Big Show, over whom The Undertaker gained the victory. In the storyline, Teddy Long replaced Khali with Big Show as punishment for an attack on Undertaker shortly before the match. Khali was then challenged to a Last Man Standing match at SummerSlam 2006 after interfering in Undertaker's match with World Heavyweight Champion King Booker. After Khali refused the challenge for SummerSlam, Teddy Long made the match official for the August 18 episode of SmackDown! instead. Undertaker won the match by striking Khali with the steel stairs, delivering several chair shots, and finishing him with a chokeslam. After his victory, Undertaker was not seen for several weeks.

The Undertaker returned to face United States Champion Mr. Kennedy at No Mercy 2006 but was disqualified after he hit Kennedy with the championship belt. On the November 3 edition of SmackDown!, Undertaker reunited with Kane to form the Brothers of Destruction for the first time in five years, defeating the reluctant opposition team of Mr. Kennedy and MVP, with whom Kane was feuding at the time. Undertaker lost against Mr. Kennedy in a First Blood match at Survivor Series, due to interference from MVP, but finally defeated Kennedy in a Last Ride match at Armageddon 2006.

The two continued to fight into 2007 as Kennedy cost Undertaker two World Heavyweight Championship opportunities for a championship match at the 2007 Royal Rumble. At the Rumble, in his eighth attempt, Undertaker won his first Royal Rumble match, when Shawn Michaels attempted to Sweet Chin Music Undertaker to eliminate him, Undertaker ducked and lifted Michaels over the top rope for the victory. and becoming the first man to enter the Rumble at No. 30 and go on to win the match. He then challenged and defeated Batista at WrestleMania 23 to win his first World Heavyweight Championship, ten years after he defeated Sycho Sid for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 13. By defeating Batista, Undertaker's undefeated streak at WrestleMania advanced to 15-0. The SmackDown! after WrestleMania, Batista entered the ring and declared to The Undertaker that he wanted a rematch. Their rematch would be a Last Man Standing match at Backlash 2007. The Last Man Standing match ended in a draw when neither man was able to answer the ten-count after Batista speared Undertaker off the entrance stage, causing the steel pillars on top of the champ and Batista which neither could then answer a ten count. The draw resulted in Undertaker retaining the title.

On the May 11 2007 Friday Night SmackDown! taping in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Undertaker fought in a steel cage match with Batista that resulted in a draw when both men's feet touched the floor at the same time. After the match, Mark Henry returned and assaulted the defenseless Undertaker. Immediately after the assault, Edge cashed in his Money in the Bank title shot, and defeated him for the World Heavyweight Championship. Edge returned to the ring and hit Undertaker with the Money in the Bank briefcase. As he laid in the ring, druids appeared and carried Undertaker to the backstage area. Though only marginally mentioned onscreen by Michael Cole and JBL, The Undertaker tore his right biceps off the bone, and will be out for 5 months.

Personal life

Calaway met his second and current wife, Sara, at a WWF autograph signing in San Diego, California. He eventually married her in a ceremony in St. Petersburg, Florida on July 21, 2000. Mark and Sara currently have two daughters together, Chasey (born in 2002) and Gracie (born in 2005).

As a wedding gift to Sara, Calaway had his wife's name tattooed onto his throat and has said this is the most painful tattoo he has ever had. Undertaker has several other tattoos. He has a gravedigger which he refers to as "Original Deadman". He has many skull, castle and wizard tattoos. When talking about his body art he has said that there is kind of a medieval thing going-on on his arms. He also has a dancing skeleton on the back of his neck.

Aside from wrestling, Calaway has many hobbies and interests. He collects Harley-Davidson and West Coast Choppers motorcycles, and purchased his first brand new motorcycle after defeating Hulk Hogan for the WWF Championship at the 1991 Survivor Series. Calaway has also had a custom motorcycle built for him by Jesse James, the founder of West Coast Choppers. He enjoys listening to bands like ZZ Top, AC/DC, Kiss, Black Sabbath, Guns N' Roses, Metallica, Iron Maiden and Black Label Society. Calaway also enjoys country music and blues music.

As an avid boxing fan, The Undertaker was also the person who carried the Flag of the United States while leading Team Pacquiao to the ring during Pacquiao vs. Velázquez fight in 2005. This was also confirmed by another WWE Superstar, Batista. Batista revealed this during a televised interview in the Philippines called TV Patrol World in ABS-CBN while promoting an upcoming WWE promotional tour which was set to be shown in the country (WWE SmackDown! Survivor Series 2006 Tour).

Most recently, Calaway has started investing in real estate in Northern Colorado with his business partner Scott Everhart. Knowing that his wrestling career wouldn't last forever, Calaway decided to jump into what he calls "a new adventure".
