<h2 style="text-align: center">The Undertaker 2022: Net Worth, Salary, &amp; Endorsements</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">Mark Callaway, better known as "The Undertaker", is perhaps the most iconic superstar in the history of the WWE. For the better part of his career, his name was synonymous with professional wrestling.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">The Undertaker became a cultural icon around the world. Moreover, the gong signifying his entry still induces goosebumps in long-time wrestling fans. However, you'll be shocked to know that this legend wasn't always into professional wrestling. Initially, he wanted to pursue a career in basketball.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">However, fate took him to the doors of World Championship Wrestling (WCW), where he wrestled as Mean Mark Callous. Before that, he had wrestled for WCCW and Continental Wrestling Association under various gimmicks.</p>
https://youtu.be/sCZzhsd_NNY
<p style="text-align: center">His true calling was the WWE where he made his iconic debut as a part of the Survivor Series team of Ted DiBiase, called The Million Dollar Team. His moniker was The Undertaker, a person who disposes of corpses. The idea seemed silly at face value, and it was thought that The Undertaker will become another one of WWE's monster heels who only exist to make the babyfaces look better.</p>
https://youtu.be/1yT9LC6-i64
<p style="text-align: center">However, with his utmost dedication and the backing of Vince McMahon, he converted it into one of the most successful gimmicks in WWE history. He won numerous accolades and played various versions of his character. In the attitude era, he was the evil priest leading the ministry of darkness.</p>


[caption id="attachment_420586" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-420586 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201023191332/GettyImages-117935251.jpg" alt="Undertaker and Kane" width="1920" height="1258" /> The Undertaker vs Kane during Wrestle Mania XX at Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York, United States.

<p style="text-align: center">After that, he switched it for a biker character which received mixed reviews. However, the most successful version of his character came under "The Dead Man" personality, which gained mainstream recognition and saw many popular rip-offs. That was how powerful he had become.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Interestingly, The Undertaker character gained such a life that WWE created several layers of the storyline around him. He was given an entire family, which included his evil father, Paul Bearer, who would walk around with his urn all the time.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">He was also given a fictitious brother in the form of WWE legend Kane. WWE had a great time creating hundreds of storylines around these characters, leading to some of the greatest moments in WWE history. They also inspired lots of fan fiction about his family members.</p>
https://youtu.be/EbXEG0w2R70
<p style="text-align: center">Another famous legend around his character is his various deaths. Obviously, WWE would play with that, considering the opportunity. He has died so many times on television that it's difficult to keep count, and there's an entire match concept around this called "The Buried Alive" match. Wrestling fans happily suspend their disbelief to enjoy this fantastic character.</p>

<p style="text-align: center">Over the years, The Undertaker became so popular that it was impossible for him to remain heel. Fans would cheer for him, regardless. That's why, even though his character had evil connotations, he played babyface many times in his career. As a living legend today, he gets the biggest props, and history will remember The Undertaker as the man who changed the course of professional wrestling forever.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">The Undertaker 2022 Achievements</h2>
[caption id="attachment_448920" align="alignnone" width="612"]<img class="wp-image-448920 size-full" src="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/undertaker-2015.jpg" alt="The Undertaker in a match" width="612" height="408" /> NEW YORK, NY - AUGUST 23: The Undertaker recovers during his fight against Brock Lesner at the WWE SummerSlam 2015 at Barclays Center of Brooklyn on August 23, 2015 in New York City. (Photo by JP Yim/Getty Images)[/caption]
<p style="text-align: center">The Undertaker <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Undertaker">holds many records</a> within the WWE. He is a seven-time world champion, winning the WWF/E championship four times and the world heavyweight championship three times.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">He is also a six-time tag team champion, winning once with Stone Cold Steve Austin, twice with The Big Show, once with The Rock, and twice with Kane. Moreover, he is the winner of the 2007 Royal Rumble. That explains why he is considered one of the greatest wrestlers of all time.</p>
https://youtu.be/VkuwPP250YU
<p style="text-align: center">However, his biggest success rate is at WWE's biggest show, WrestleMania. The Undertaker debuted at WrestleMania in 1991 and won against Jimmy Snuka in his match. Over the years, his WrestleMania win-loss would extend to 21-0.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">He only missed out on WrestleMania 10 (1994) and WrestleMania 2000. The streak was finally broken in 2014 by The Beast Brock Lesnar.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">The Undertaker has competed in five more WrestleMania matches since then, winning four of them against Bray Wyatt, Shane McMahon, John Cena, and AJ Styles. His only loss came against Roman Reigns, which made him only the second wrestler to defeat The Undertaker at the biggest stage of them all.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">The Undertaker 2022 Net Worth</h2>
[caption id="attachment_420591" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-420591 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201023191448/GettyImages-1173497084.jpg" alt="The Undertaker" width="1920" height="1350" /> AUSTIN, TX - SEPTEMBER 07: WWE legend The Undertaker watches from the sideline during the game between the Texas Longhorns and the LSU Tigers at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium on September 7, 2019 in Austin, Texas.

<p style="text-align: center">The Undertaker has a 2021 net worth of more than $17 million, according to <a href="https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-athletes/wrestlers/the-undertaker-net-worth/">Celebrity Net Worth</a>. His WWE salary is estimated at $2.5 million annually and he is now on a Legends contract.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">The Undertaker Last Ride Documentary</h2>
<img class="size-full wp-image-290900 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200613215002/maxresdefault-233.jpg" alt="The Undertaker" width="1280" height="720" />
<p style="text-align: center">The Undertaker has been known to be a wrestler who has kept his personal life under the curtains. This was largely to protect the sanctity of his larger-than-life character.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">However, a part documentary series released on the WWE Network called The Ride gives us a never-before-seen look into his life. It takes a glimpse into his career and features comments from his peers. His wife, Michelle McCool, is also a part of the series.</p>
https://youtu.be/6dU9dIOKqxk
<p style="text-align: center">The Undertaker can be seen as a normal man with a family and ambitions. It had been shot for a period of three years. The documentary has received largely positive reviews from professional wrestling fans who are cherishing the opportunity to see their favorite wrestler in the element.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">The Undertaker 2022 Charities And Foundations</h2>
<img class="size-full wp-image-290901 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200613215016/e64a0b90-6f5f-11ea-b6e4-ff5c9db76be8_800_420.png" alt="The Undertaker" width="800" height="420" />
<p style="text-align: center">The Undertaker was very active recently when he raised money for those affected by the coronavirus pandemic. He auctioned off a dinner with him where a fan could talk to him about anything they want.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">The proceeds from this event went towards the charities to help the most affected in the times when the USA has been heavily affected by the disaster, further increasing the value of this help sent by him.</p>
