Mark William Calaway 

(born March 24, 1965), is an American retired professional wrestler. He is

best known for his career in WWE from 1990 to 2020 under the ring name The Undertaker.

Calaway began his career in 1987, working as various gimmicks for World Class Championship

Wrestling (WCCW) and other affiliate promotions, and he became USWA Unified World Heavyweight
Champion and WCWA Texas Heavyweight Champion during this time. After signing with World
Championship Wrestling (WCW) in 1989, he had a brief stint in the mid-card as "Mean" Mark
Callous, before joining the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE) in 1990.

Calaway was rebranded as "The Undertaker" in the WWF, and gained significant mainstream
popularity as a horror-themed, macabre entity who employed scare tactics and held links to
the supernatural. The longest-tenured wrestler in company history at 30 years, The Undertaker was
one of the most prominent figures of the Attitude Era, a boom period in the company's business in
the latter 1990s. His character transitioned into a biker in the early 2000s, before returning to a
refined version of his previous gimmick in 2004. The Undertaker is heavily associated with WWE's
flagship annual event, WrestleMania, where he became known for The Streak, a series of 21 straight
victories. He is also known for his pairing with his in-storyline half-brother Kane, with whom he has
alternatively feuded or teamed as The Brothers of Destruction since 1997. Within the company, The
Undertaker has won the WWF/E Championship four times, the World Heavyweight
Championship three times, the Hardcore Championship once and the World Tag Team
Championship six times. He is also one of WWE's most prolific pay-per-view performers, headlining
several pay-per-view events, including WrestleMania on five occasions.[b][10]
