I don’t know what’s laughable about it. Every wrestler in the 80s and early 90s was cartoony. So a zombie wrestler actually fit right in. It made him actually look cool in comparison since he was a dark character who threatened to kill and bury the other wrestlers. Thats better than colorful goody two shoes babyfaces like Hulk and Bret. Who told us to take our vitamins and say our prayers. The realistic characters would not have worked in this era either. So I don’t know what non laughable ones you were talking about.
Crazy to think how much this Amazing Character has impacted and been a constant for over 30 years in ppls lives. Without a Doubt the Greatest Gimmick ever and Perhaps the GOAT when u look at all round ability,longevity,and relevance. Salut Big Mark Calloway and Big Evil.
It was Cain the Undertaker on the WWF Wrestling Challenge tapings on November 19th - 20th, 1990. He officially debuts as simply The Undertaker at Survivor Series November 22, 1990.
Lots of hindsight here. The Undertaker wasn't the Undertaker. We're thinking of what couldn't you see after 30 years of the right man in the right character.
Yeah so half the audience can laugh at him for looking like a fucking idiot. Smart move. Real respectful. Dude LITERALLY spent DECADES evolving the character past the FUCKING LAME Undertaker gimmick Vince saddled with him (he wanted to team Taker with IRS and call it death and taxes....) But, because marks need to live in the past, please Undertaker come out wearing a fucking oversized tie like you're in a spaghetti western. How bout fo his last match, Taker comes out dressed like himself, Big Evil the American Badass and we all pay him respect for the decades he has spent turning himself into another character for us? Nah you're right, oversized grey gauntlets and knee high pullovers please.
When I saw Mean Mark walk the ropes in WCW I was sold. When I found out he was going to WWF I told my friends he was going to be the bomb but I had no idea he would become as legendary as he became.
I remember Mark before WWF and I thought he was spectacular for a big man . No surprise he became Wrestling Royalty. U can argue the most accomplished WRESTLER of all times.
Was a great idea to put Taker over super strong. A lot of big men can no sell, but his gimmick and the man behind it just had the perfect look and manner for it
I think Taker is the best gimmick in pro wrestling period, not just the WWF/WWE. As others have said before, no one could have pulled it off like Mark Calaway. I can’t even imagine anyone else trying to be the dead man. Undertaker should go down as one of the top 3 wrestlers of all time. Everything from his gimmick to his in ring ability and how good he is on the mic. He truly is the “phenom”.
I've watched and recorded pay-per-views from 1988-2002. The Undertaker on his debut was NEVER referenced at that Hartford Survivor Series as "Kane, The Undertaker". Conrad said the WWE Network censored and changed They didn't. Ted DiBiase introduced him: "I give you The Undertaker!"
I was never too great a fan of the hokey Undertaker stuff, but like everyone, I respect the hell out of Mark Calloway. He had a tremendous career and is certainly in the G.O.A.T. discussion.
Not sure about everybody else but I also go and watch the matches they talk about afterwards. It's almost like seeing them over again for the first time.
I know Dusty was basically on his way out, but Undertaker absolutely DESTROYING him in his debut was a crazy strong debut. Surprised Koko wasn't more upset about his own performance and not being able to get more offense in. One whiffed move and then a Tombstone. Ouch!
Jerry Thao Taker debuted in 1990, a year before that movie came out. I know they possibly shot the movie in 90, but I call absolute bull crap on Hogan going to Vince about Mark.
I like debate of the undertaker at survivor series (1990) and next year Survivor Series (1991) Undertaker defeated Hulk Hogan to win the WWF World Heavyweight Championship. Due to Ric Flair's involvement in the events leading to The Undertaker is coming biggest name in wrestling history
@@AmericanPride1234 He was Cain VERY BRIEFLY, he just was U/T a few weeks after his introduction. The Cain part was no different than the Viking Experience deal, they tried to see what worked at first. The initial name doesn't always stick.
I saw the original survivor series match and he was in fact announced as cain the undertaker once they found out it wasnt gonna work they redid the announcement by voiceover
IIRC, the thing that puzzled me with Undertakers count out at the 1990 Survivor Series was that he wasn't even the legal man in the ring. He'd tagged out and then jumped off the apron the attack Dusty.
True, but they were looking for a way to get him out of the match without looking weak. So have him counted out but destroying Dusty Rhodes in the process.
Iam glad they made undertaker human got rid squash matches because undertaker has skill. I felt he didnt relize get showcase his skill untill laye 1991 and early 1992 . His wrestlemnia with jake allowed to do more then his snuka
I was the undertaker for Halloween 1992 I was 6 or barely 7 actually. Had the tie & a plastic mask that dug into my eyes. I fell stepping on to the sidewalk it didn't hurt but I cried my eyes out cuz I scratched my mask up put a small hole in it n dented it. Was terrible.
I had a undertaker t-shirt back then and wore it to Sunday school once. I can still remember the elders faces to this day lol. Had I done it as a rib I couldn't have pulled it off better, but I was none the wiser.
Hulk Hogan from the .. I’m a lying bastard era! Undertaker from the attitude era! John Cena from the PG Wet Dream era! Vince McMahon from the local taxidermy
When Taker came in and walked the ropes at his size made it a wow moment even walking the rope at any size is great but Taker could move good for big guy there was at the time a few big guys who could move like a small guy Shawn Ohaire couldve been a superstar then Scott Hall still made it big with demons couldve been even a bigger star but Taker made it and earned it and lived up to the push.
They should of brought ol brother love back when they introduced "Kane" the big red machine!! Like a real flash from undertakers past.. ( not that the way they did that storyline sucked, just a diff idea)
Taker was the real deal and hogan just looked physically. In the ring hogan was a bitch. I liked him when I was a young kid because I didn't know better pretty much like every other kid. Taker could get down in the ring. Probably one of the most athletic big guys ever. Maybe not the best but his character so g with his
The undertaker says contrary to Brother Love that that the This Tuesday in Texas event was booked that way as a sort of indirect punishment of him since Hulk Hogan was going around advertising his injured neck resulting from his tombstone
I don't buy Conrad saying Hogan claims he broke his neck at Survivor Series, This Tuesday in Texas was 5 days after Survivor Series and their match then was longer than their Survivor Series if Hogan had a broken neck he wouldn't have wrestled at all. Hogan isn't known as a man to tough out injuries.
Hogan did say taker broke his neck, it's in his book. Also taker was apparently convinced he did injure Hogan and was distraught about it till he saw the match and realised Hogan was full of shit. It caused a bit of heat at the time I think
@@1981bigdee Yeah, that sounds right. Typical Hogan bullshit. Not a popular guy backstage by all accounts, outside of his circle of asskissers (Brutus, Duggan, Tugboat, Jimmy Hart, etc).
The Undertaker has told a story about Hogan talking to him about his neck before the match and the Undertaker being extra safe. And then when he saw the video Hogan claiming that he hurt his neck because the Undertaker had him too secure
Exactly thats why he is an overated pile of shit. He totally ruined this interview and you can tell Bruce gets annoyed and starts giving short answers.
1. it's hilarious that hogan (who had met mark calloway about literally the same month he signed with wwf) claims to have sold vince on him ... come on hogan 2. WCW really missed the boat. They had so many great wrestlers who would've stayed with WCW if only WCW would push them. Imagine the main event matches with Sting, Flair, etc if only WCW wasn't so poorly run
Hard to say. A lot of the guys they missed on got amazing characters in WWF. The Undertaker isn't the Undertaker without the character. Neither is Stone Cold. Doesn't mean they wouldn't have been good with a push in WCW, but the reason we have this hindsight with them is due to the characters they became.
@@Matt-cr4vv true to an extent although Steve Austin came up with the stone cold gimmick, similarly Scott Hall came up with the Razor Ramon gimmick. But you're correct that it wasn't just lack of push but general bad creative
Vince is the type guy who sees a wrestler he might sign up he doesn't see much in him yet he signs him anyway and Mark Calaway proved Vince wrong and also proved Olie Anderson wrong when he told Mark Calaway that he had no future in WCW or Wrestling in general because no one would pay to see him.....................both Austin and Cena also were two others that Vince didn't see much in them and was proved wrong.
If he didn't take it 100% seriously or got beat it would have flopped. He lost matches but I don't think I ever saw him lose clean for probably the first 10-12 years
Really you watch him in WCW and you go what dont they see ? A 6/9 big man that can do little man moves and looks like a bad ass , but see HBK as the man if WCW had pushed Taker , Austin , Nash , Hall aka Diamond Studd those 4 alone couldve made WCW great they all help WWF put WCW out of business just how Vince used AWA back in the day by taking Hogan , The Brain , The Body , DR.D to build his Company he the next time used WCW the same way.
The fact that Mark Calloway was able to bring this potentially laughable character to life and still gets it over tells he is one of if not the GOAT.

I love this program. Hearing these stories from Bruce is priceless. Keep it up guys.
They finally got the "right" skyscraper with Waylon Mercy, sadly they got him about 6 years too late...
Ya I’ve seen a young Waylon Mercy. He wasn’t that great. Those promos in the 90’s were bad ass though.
When I saw Mean Mark walk the ropes in WCW I was sold. When I found out he was going to WWF I told my friends he was going to be the bomb but I had no idea he would become as legendary as he became.
I remember Mark before WWF and I thought he was spectacular for a big man .
No surprise he became Wrestling Royalty.
U can argue the most accomplished WRESTLER of all times.
CIP I wouldn’t say most accomplished. As a matter of fact, I’d say “most protected.”
Gimmick really scared the shit outta me as a child lol
He scared the shit out of alot of kids
Love seeing the kids in the audience pissing themselves
I was born 11-21-90. Right when he debuted. He's the best!
Was a great idea to put Taker over super strong. A lot of big men can no sell, but his gimmick and the man behind it just had the perfect look and manner for it
Best pro wrestling gimmick in the WWF/WWE.

Junior Lewing Koo true
So the cavemen invented fire?
Bruce: yeah, I think that was mine.
Lmao "The Headlock"
I literally did lol
But brother love is taking a lot of creadit and knowing him he probably didn't even like the undertaker gimmick.
Oh man, this part was so funny, especially the part about him really putting himself over!
I knew it was Paul Heyman that made the call because he had connections
About a week or so before Survivor Series, there was a local house show. Kane "The Undertaker" vs Snuka I believe it was.
So what happened to bad news allen he get hurt or what that's how undertaker got in
HAPPY 30 YEARS UNDERTAKER THE BADDEST DUDE IN THE WRESTLING WORLD DAMN MAN SO freaking awesome.😜

The Undertaker is one of the best, longest lasting gimmicks of all time.
I can’t sleep tonight because Koko was upset!
I know Dusty was basically on his way out, but Undertaker absolutely DESTROYING him in his debut was a crazy strong debut. Surprised Koko wasn't more upset about his own performance and not being able to get more offense in. One whiffed move and then a Tombstone. Ouch!
I he debuted in my hometown...hartford ct...i was there
Nice dude my pops was born there.....only show I got to was WM14 in Boston ...being from NH it was close enough
I was young like 11 but I had 2 older brothers that took me.....first Undertaker vs Kane match
Aye I was born in Hartford
That red and yellow guy claimed he introduced Taker to Vince...who do u believe? I believe brother love
Hogan is generally a liar, but I think 'Taker was in one of his shit films before he joined WWF, so they might have met there?
@@VelvetMetrolink suburban commando
@@VelvetMetrolink hogan is generally a liar lol why cause a few jealous people say he is? or do you know him very well dumbass
It's possible that Hogan mentioned him, but Prichard pushed and worked to get him in WWE. Prichard most likely deserves credit.

Some of this info is incorrect. He didn't debut as Kane "The Undertaker", also, you can still find videos of him being called Kane "The Undertaker"
I definitely saw The Undertaker wrestle at a TV taping in Syracuse before he debut at Survivor Series.
esfd283 they used to do that back then test our gimmicks on house shows before tv
Hatchbasic
Bruce said it was his first match, is the thing
ERMAGERD you mean Prichard misremembered something from almost 30 years ago??? The horror!
I was always curious about that first tombstone piledriver to Koko B. Ware. It looked and sounded brutal.
They attributed his death to that piledriver. Not right after. But the injury sustained would kill him years later
When he tombstoned Koko, I marked the hell out. Not gonna lie.....
Was sloppy yet def looked like it hurt something serious
Looked botched
I wish they list what episode this is from so we could easily find the full length episode so we could listen to the rest of it.
Episode 14: 1990 Survivor Series
Dibiase didn't announce him as Cain The Undertaker. It was just The Undertaker.
zackvanhalen I was thinking the same. I don’t ever recall Kane-the Undertaker one time.
5-28-19
I think it was only used a couple times in dark matches
Mean gene okerland called him cain the undertaker in an interview
@@AmericanPride1234 He was Cain VERY BRIEFLY, he just was U/T a few weeks after his introduction. The Cain part was no different than the Viking Experience deal, they tried to see what worked at first. The initial name doesn't always stick.

Undertaker worked a tv taping before Survivor Series
This is facts
This Is Known
It didn’t air until after survivor series though. So it didn’t happen.
Pro wrestling is just one profession where the term "big bastard" is highly complimentary.
The Twin Towers??? That was Big Boss Man and Akeem. The skyscrapers was the Undertaker and dangerous Danny Spivey and Sid Vicious
IIRC, the thing that puzzled me with Undertakers count out at the 1990 Survivor Series was that he wasn't even the legal man in the ring. He'd tagged out and then jumped off the apron the attack Dusty.
Taker should've never been eliminated from the Survivor Series, he wasn't the legal man when he got counted out
True, but they were looking for a way to get him out of the match without looking weak. So have him counted out but destroying Dusty Rhodes in the process.
Not a big wrestling fan, eh? There are reasons those things happen.
Greatest debut of all time!!
Like thee archiving videos :D
The sit up and head spin is Michael Myers not Jason
Yea I was like what?
Iam glad they made undertaker human got rid squash matches because undertaker has skill. I felt he didnt relize get showcase his skill untill laye 1991 and early 1992 . His wrestlemnia with jake allowed to do more then his snuka
The Head Lock....LMMFAO
He said at 1:40 or so that Mark Callous was one of the Twin Towers! (Sky Scrapers.)
Great or even the best gimmick ever, even though I wasnt much fund of his matches or in ring performance!
It was Michael Myers, that did the sit up, not Jason.
BRRRRRUUUCE takes alot of credit lol. @JDFROMNY206 would love to comment I'm sure
Michael Meyers from Halloween did the sit-up, not Jason.

MrPerfection hogan lied to take credit for something he didn’t do? No way!
I heard that straight from Hogan’s mouth but I tend to not believe it. I believe Bruce on this one.
I believe Prichard, but Hogan may have suggested him, too. But it seems like it is Prichard who really pushed The Undertaker.
Hogan is a liar
When?? Suburban Commando came out after the Undertaker was already in the WWF.
The headlock... i was wondering who invented that.
The Undertaker and others have stated there were a couple of house show matches before the Survivor Series PPV.
Yeah there were, but they were taped for advance. They showed them after he debuted.
They both won. Kane was probably the greatest debut of all time, because of the undertaker
I still couldn't figure out, why Taker was counted out AFTER he tagged out.
When Taker came in and walked the ropes at his size made it a wow moment even walking the rope at any size is great but Taker could move good for big guy there was at the time a few big guys who could move like a small guy Shawn Ohaire couldve been a superstar then Scott Hall still made it big with demons couldve been even a bigger star but Taker made it and earned it and lived up to the push.
You two crack me up
watching the Koko spot back. Did anyone notice that Taker was not facing the hard camera?? 1st time he does the move and you could hardly see it !
He needed to learn the WWE style in NXT
They should of brought ol brother love back when they introduced "Kane" the big red machine!! Like a real flash from undertakers past.. ( not that the way they did that storyline sucked, just a diff idea)
Undertaker needs to do a retro time, with this uniform, and put somebody in a bodybag....hmm dave meltzer?
Could The Undertaker/Hulk Hogan story explain why ‘Taker ended up giving him the worst choke slam ever? Because Hogan didn’t wanna make it look good?
he Couldn't make it look good. Hogan wasn't very athletic. can't jump that high.
Taker was the real deal and hogan just looked physically. In the ring hogan was a bitch. I liked him when I was a young kid because I didn't know better pretty much like every other kid. Taker could get down in the ring. Probably one of the most athletic big guys ever. Maybe not the best but his character so g with his

Undertaker looks like Christopher Lloyd
Funny cause they were both in Suburban Commando. Also at Survivor Series 1991, Rowdy Roddy Piper called The Undertaker "an Addams Family reject".
"Well we dent know what we had"- BP
Pretty much kills Hogan's claim that he suggested him to Vince.
Jim Pimmers Terry Bollea is a lying sack of shit
What? Hulk Hogan lying to take credit for something? I can't believe it (sarcasm)!

He was not Kane the Undertaker at the Survivor Series. He was called that on Superstars afterward.
I'm sure he was.
Yes, he was. His first few matches, they went and did voice overs changing it.
The superstars appearance was taped before SS.
if you listen to the podcast they explain this.

Wow...so Vince almost passed on him also..wow
First person Undertaker wrestled for wwf on TV? Bret Hart 😊

It's kinda crazy how much the guys hated red hair back in the day
Thought hulk hogan had some thing to do with Taker in wwe . He met him at a hogan movie and introduced him to Vince
Nope
He was better as Mean Mark with the heart punch.
@1:34 not the twin towers bro. The Skyscrapers!!!
11.28 he was introduced as The Undertaker, not Cain The Undertaker.
No, you're wrong, he was called Cain the Undertaker VERY briefly until they just left it at the U/T
1) That wasn't his first appearance
2) Originally, yes, he was called Kane there, but they did a voice over later.
Koko who????? 🦜
Bruce Prichard is so lethargic here in this interview, almost
They didn’t bring Sid in until after Taker, so the skyscraper comment from Hawk makes no sense
Preach it brother!!!
WCW never had a team called the Twin Towers, he was one of the Skyscrapers
HE HAD 2 MATCH BEFOR SVS 1990
sasuke itachi true
Really you watch him in WCW and you go what dont they see ? A 6/9 big man that can do little man moves and looks like a bad ass , but see HBK as the man if WCW had pushed Taker , Austin , Nash , Hall aka Diamond Studd those 4 alone couldve made WCW great they all help WWF put WCW out of business just how Vince used AWA back in the day by taking Hogan , The Brain , The Body , DR.D to build his Company he the next time used WCW the same way.
