5 Undertaker matches you’ve never seen before: 5 Things

         For a quarter of a century, The Deadman has loomed over the WWE landscape like a menacing shadow, spelling out doom for those who dare cross him. Imbued with seemingly mystical abilities and preternatural in-ring ability, The Undertaker is a WWE great in a class by himself, and no list of legends would be complete without him.
First introduced at 1990’s Survivor Series, The Phenom debuted as the final member of Ted DiBiase’s “Million Dollar Team.” It wasn’t long before he began to battle with Hulk Hogan, then at the top of the food chain in WWE. This clash set the tone for Undertaker’s dominant career. No one was too big and no one was safe from his gloved grip.
A multiple WWE and World Heavyweight Champion, a six-time tag team titleholder and a Royal Rumble winner in 2007, Undertaker’s accomplishments in WWE have cemented his place among the greatest in the game. He is a true, in-ring pioneer, having been part of many WWE firsts, including the inaugural Hell in a Cell Match in October 1997, the first-ever Casket Match at Survivor Series 1992 and the first-ever Buried Alive match in 1996.

 

But there was one achievement that stood out above all others; one that will likely never be topped. Since Tombstoning “Superfly” Jimmy Snuka at WrestleMania VII in 1991, Undertaker maintained a winning streak at The Show of Shows that stood at an astounding 21-0. CM Punk, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Jake “The Snake” Roberts, Randy Orton, Kevin Nash and many more fell at The Deadman’s hand, leaving the WWE Universe to believe that this record would never be blemished for the rest of time.
That changed at WrestleMania 30 when, after three F-5s, Brock Lesnar pinned The Undertaker and ended The Streak, leaving The Deadman at 21-1 at The Show of Shows. Those who thought that spelled the end of The Deadman's career were proven wrong one year later when The Undertaker emerged from seclusion to defeat Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania 31, proving there was still plenty of fight left in him. At SummerSlam, Undertaker got retribution for the ending of The Streak, defeating Lesnar with the Hell’s Gate. The win came with controversy, though, as a replay showed The Deadman tapped out to Lesnar’s Kimura Lock before locking in the Hell’s Gate.
In their final battle at WWE Hell in a Cell, The Beast and The Deadman squared off inside the demonic structure. The bout was one of their most brutal, both Superstars leaving everything inside Hell in a Cell. Ultimately, Lesnar proved he may indeed be unstoppable as he bested The Phenom perhaps for the final time.
After the match, The Undertaker was assaulted by The Wyatt Family. Outnumbered and still feeling the effects of his brutal match woth Lesnar, The Wyatts decimated The Phenom before carrying him away from the ring.
In the face of all challenges, The Phenom has risen stronger and mightier than ever, serving as sports-entertainment’s grim reaper of justice — his name permanently etched like an epitaph on the history books of WWE. It seems that no grave can hold him; no god will claim him and no devil will have him. In the end, there can only be one suitable resting place for the almighty Deadman: the WWE Hall of Fame.

Australia House in London was transformed into a private cinema last night, as royalty, celebrities and media were treated to a special pre-screening of a new documentary film on the Great Barrier Reef, which Tourism Australia believes will inspire greater interest and more visits to the world’s largest coral reef system. The three-part series produced by BAFTA award-winning Atlantic Productions – ‘Great Barrier Reef with David Attenborough’ will be broadcast across the world, including the United Kingdom and Australia. More than 200 guests attended the invite-only event, including his Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh. Amongst other guests making their entrance along a VIP 'sand carpet' specially created for the evening were Helena Bonham Carter, Heston Blumenthal and Barry Humphries. The special screening was jointly hosted by the Australian High Commission and Tourism Australia, and included a special appearance and Q&A session by the film’s presenter and renowned naturalist David Attenborough. Tourism Australia Managing Director, John O’Sullivan, said the release of the TV series coincided with a new campaign it was launching early in 2016 and aimed at promoting Australia’s aquatic and coastal experiences. “Our aquatic and coastal story has always been an important part of selling Australia, but has never before taken centre stage in a campaign. This film will show the Reef in ways never previously seen before and provides a wonderful vehicle for us to shine a light on Australia’s outstanding aquatic and coastal experiences. “Our research shows that aquatic experiences, and particularly the Reef, are major draw cards for tourists from all of our major international markets,” Mr O’Sullivan said. David Attenborough spent approximately three weeks on the Reef as part of the filming schedule, which took in Ribbon Reef and Osprey Reef and Lady Elliot, Magnetic, Orpheus, Lizard and Heron Islands. CEO of Atlantic Productions and producer for the project Anthony Geffen said that the filming project was unique, combining the latest filming techniques, science and cutting edge research. “Documentary filming techniques have come on leaps and bounds since David last filmed on the Great Barrier Reef nearly 60 years ago, and I think the images we have captured will not only wow audiences but also assist them in better understanding and, importantly, appreciating one of the most fascinating natural wonders on our planet,” he said. The series goes to air just weeks before Tourism Australia unveils a major push to promote Australia’s aquatic and coastal experiences. The new campaign aims to tap into the fact that around 70 per cent of international visitors undertake an aquatic or coastal experience as part of their trip to Australia. Note to editors: Atlantic Productions is one of the world’s leading factual production companies, whose TV and film productions have won BAFTAs, Emmys and other top industry awards. Atlantic’s productions with David Attenborough have been seen by more than one billion people in more than 150 countries, since their first collaboration in 2009. Covering an area of almost 350,000 square kilometres from around Bundaberg in the south to the northern tip of Queensland, the World Heritage Area, the Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest coral reef ecosystem and considered to be one of the seven natural wonders of the natural world.
