On November 22, 1990, the one and only Undertaker made his WWF debut at Survivor Series as Ted Dibiase's mystery partner, clowning Koko B. Ware and Dusty Rhodes before being eliminated via count-out.
While his first "official" appearance occurred at a Superstars taping three days prior, that particular show didn't air until December 15 and commentary added in referenced his Survivor Series appearance.
Since that time, "The Deadman" has won the WWF/E Championship four times, the World Heavyweight Championship three-times, is a six-time WWF Tag Team Champion and one-time WCW Tag Team Champion, the winner of the 2007 Royal Rumble and the only remaining WWE wrestler to have appeared on the first episode of Monday Night RAW.
He's also 19-0 at Wrestlemania.
In other words, he's a bona fide pro wrestling hall-of-famer and top ten best of all time in any book. So let's hear it Cagesiders, what's your favorite Undertaker match/moment?

For me, there’s only three that really come to mind.
Hell in a Cell vs Foley. Honestly though, that match is more memorable for Foley than Taker.
And the two Mania matches vs Shawn. I’ve said that I thought the matches received a lot of undo press, and saying they’re a bit overrated, but looking back, there’s no other matches that I can put above them with Taker in mind.
The Undertaker has long been my favorite wrestler. Even when I didn’t follow wrestling, I followed him.
I marked out big time when he returned as the dead man after the terrible biker gimmick.
I personally really enjoyed the feud that introduced Mankind.
My favorite match of his was with Stone Cold…. more because of the build up to it. I really was into the dark side of the Undertaker. It took him to a different level.

I’m talking straight out my ass. I have no idea why this guy just struck me with an Undertakeresque vibe when he talked and worked in the ring on the show.

I remember being absolutely terrified as a child watching his vignettes where he was building caskets

- Undertaker moment: Undertaker vs HBK in the first ever HIAC match
- Undertaker moment: Undertaker vs HBK at Wrestlemania 25
- Undertaker moment: Undertaker vs Mankind HIAC
- Undertaker moment: Undertaker’s return promo on Raw where he said he would fight Kane at WM14
- Undertaker moment: Undertaker vs HHH from WM27
I’m hoping that we get a Undertaker vs Heel John Cena at WM29 as the last great Taker moment
I enjoyed watching this match. God, Undertaker is the most agile big man I’ve ever seen by a mile! Interesting that here he moved much more quickly than the deliberate, zombie-esque style he soon developed. Also, he actually sold others’ offense. I think my favorite part of this match, though, is Bret mouthing “fuck” right after he was pinned. Realism!
