The Undertaker is a force that none would wish to reckon with since they first lay eyes on him. His movements to the way he presented himself were phenomenal. Especially in the early days, when wrestling had a lot of characters rather than normal, The Undertaker stood out of the bunch as a sparkling diamond. And to match that diamond perfectly, a red ruby emerged from the depths of hell known as Kane.

The fear that the Undertaker and Kane instilled in everyone watching wrestling was the biggest selling point of the pair. Not only children and the audience were spooked, but even the wrestlers working with him. Recently, a former rival and WWE Legend Kevin Nash revealed his early days working with The Phenom.
