So I didn’t want to start a thread on this but it is slightly off topic here BUT…..

I just finished the WWE Legends episode on Undertaker and I’m wondering where Taker stacks up in the best wrestler ever list for you all. I’d def not had him in my top 5 maybe not top 10 before I really sat, watched, and took in his whole story.

The man sat at the top of the card for WWE for nearly 30 years. He had hot programs with guys from Hogan to Warrior to Yokozuna to Hart to Michaels to Austin to Rock to HHH to Angle to Cena to Lesnar and the list goes on and on.

He didn’t get as hot as Rock or Austin and didn’t draw as much money overall as Hogan. However, what he did for storytelling and living a gimmick was revolutionary and will never be matched in wrestling again. He told a plethora of the best stories of all time in WWE starting with Kane, then on to Mankind, and then winded his career down with what may have been his best 4 matches ever with 2 against HBK and 2 against HHH all at Mania.

I think Taker is easily a top 10 of all time.

On that list only Hogan, Rock , Austin, Flair, and maybe Cena had a more lasting influence and legacy on/in the business than Undertaker.

Even compare Taker to Flair…..at the end of WCW and in the entirety of his WWE run Flair was working mid card matches outside of his time in Evolution and his retirement match with HBK. Taker never did that he was always in a top spot….maybe not the “main event” but always a top spot.

And Dusty Rhodes……Taker never had to take on the proverbial “yellow polka dots”.
