The Undertaker is arguably the greatest wrestler of all time. But one thing that is often looked over when talking about his legacy is that The Undertaker wasn’t the best technical wrestler. Given that he was a giant in the ring and meant to sell a gimmick, he limited his moves to the big blockbusters, especially at the beginning of his career.

But someone who is specifically known for being the best wrestler in WWE was the first opponent that The Deadman faced. Bret Hart and the Undertaker have a wrestling history that comes full circle. As The Undertaker would end up being The Hitman’s last great opponent in a WWF ring.
