"The fear of death is far greater than the death itself. But the fear of the unknown is the greatest fear of all!"
~ The Undertaker
Who is the greatest pro wrestler of all time? When this question gets asked a lot of names could be thrown around, but you can be sure that The Undertaker's name would always be the first among those names. He is a pro wrestler who is known and revered all across the world.
Whether it was his deadman gimmick or being the all-American badass biker one, he was always a strange attraction that the other wrestlers feared and respected. So always be sure to put some nice "respeck" on The Undertaker's name - and that goes for you too dear readers, because he may not dress like Satan anymore, but he is still down with the Devil and he can go medieval on your ass...
About The Undertaker's Real Height
When The Undertaker debuted in WWF he was billed as a 6'10" tall wrestler but was described many times as 7" feet tall. WWE almost always makes their wrestlers bigger than they really are in the hope of making them even more intimedating. The situation isn't so bad now but in The Undertaker era, it was bad indeed. Ander the Giant who was around 7 feet tall in real life was described as seven and a half feet tall.
While The Undertaker himself claimed to be 6'8" at one point. Which is how tall Kane used to be in his prime. We think The Undertaker is no more than 6'6" now (after comparing him to many other people), but it is easily possible that he was 6'8" tall in his prime as well.
Losing height with age, injury is common enough but taller people are especially prone to it. The Undertaker did look taller than a 6'6" tall Hulk Hogan (in his prime as well). And now with the usual wear and tear with age and with multiple surgeries like hip replacement, The Undertaker is a bit shorter now.
The Undertaker's weight at his heaviest was around 328 lb (149 kg), though is no more than 295 lb (134 kg) now.
