Id say Undertaker.

Yeah Undertaker. He can always sit up after every hit. Isn't he undefeated at Wrestlemania? Like. 20-0 or something like that. I may be wrong though.

[ComfortEagle]

He's 15-0 at Wrestlemania with a title shot coming up at the next one.

Soon to be 16-0.

But in their PRIME, I believe that HHH is the better wrestler, though I have to admit that I have never understood the Undertaker's popularity LOL

My husband and I have this argument ALL the time!

I think it's because The Undertaker is one of the few wrestlers that still have a gimmick.

Now, most of the wrestlers are just good guys or bad guys depending on how the writers write the story. But The Undertaker, whether good or bad, still has the gimmick of him being an un-dead reaper of souls.

There's a lot of story with The Undertaker. Like how he always comes back from the dead. The whole mystery of the urn that Paul Bearer had that originally caused The Undertaker to gain strength. The Undertaker "has the power to summon light or cause darkness." Then there was the whole storyline with Kane, and finding out Kane was his brother.

I remember once when The Undertaker could summon lightning. Plus he has one of the best ring entrances. As soon as the bell tolls, the lights go out and it gets all spooky and people go crazy. The kids like him because he has that scarry "horror movie" aspect to him. The older people appreciate how long he's been in the business and how well he's done.

I'll post some YouTube videos of The Undertaker. There's a few where it shows him "coming back from the dead" after being defeated in a casket match.

CE, all due respect, I have watched him more than half of my life.... never liked him.... I think I liked him most when he rode the Harley to the ring, not the eyes rolling back in his head junk that is just, IMO stale after seeing it for so long! Make sense?

Makes sense, but some people consider that the worst gimmick of The Undertaker :D

They had to kill him off in the story-line and come back from the dead to get him out of that one.

No, but aside from that, some people like him and some don't. It's cheesy sometimes, but I think it's a good break from the ordinary wrestlers.

He did get boring after a while, that's why they've had him come back so many times. Undertaker just came back in November, I think, so his popularity has revived, but I think since he's been around so long they have to keep changing, or going back, or having him 'die' and come back.

He's been lucky to have the writers keep coming up with story-lines, rather than have him get boring and then write him off completely. :Thumbs:

Two of my favorite wrestlers of all time, good or bad. But I would have to choose the Dead Man in this one. I would actually like to see these two in a **** In A Cell match, both are very good in those matches.
