November 22. 1990 was the beginning of darkness and the beginning of one man that would rule and dominate the WWE and that man was The Undertaker, so like I did with Kane in this thread, I want everyone to know right now what was your favorite Undertaker Moment and I'm not trying to be rude?.

Oh man, so many that I don't think I could pick one. I could probably narrow it down to a top 5 in no order.
Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels at Mania 25 Undertaker returns as the American Badass at Judgment Day 2000 Undertaker vs. Triple H at Mania 28 Undertaker vs. Mankind Hell in the Cell Undertaker entrance at Mania 29

I enjoyed the Undertaker's run on Smackdown in 2008 when he was feuding with Edge and submitting guys with the gogoplata, which was the last time he worked anything close to a fulltime schedule. While I respect his longevity in the business, I was never really a big fan. I didnt like him when he was working in a funeral home, I didnt like him when he was leader of the Ministry, I didnt like him as a biker and I dont like him now dressed up as a warlock and working the Santa Claus schedule.

Probably his WM25 match with HBK, but getting to see his WM entrance live a few times has been a great memory.

When he defeated Hogan for the WWF Title at Survivor Series 91.
He had one of the best 1st years in company history. It was rare to see Hogan lose during that period as well so when Taker won the belt it was truly a big moment.

That is tough really. Here is a guy that's been around from the Golden era of WWF, to the New Generation, to the Attitude Era, to the Ruthless Aggression, to the PG Era, to the Reality Era... the guy has been through it all!
I guess when it comes to Taker, it really comes down to a lot of 'firsts' that stand out.
His first year in the WWE, starting the streak at Wrestlemania VII, and winning the WWE Title from Hulk Hogan at Survivor Series 91. His first casket match with Kamala at Survivor Series 92. His first Buried Alive Match with Mankind at In Your House Oct. 96. His first Hell in a Cell with Shawn Michaels at Badd Blood 97.
Just a lot of great Undertaker moments over his career.

Punk/Taker Mania 29.
One of my favorite matches ever. I'll always cherish getting to see that match live.

oh man I have so many.....Ill break them down.
his initial face turn....well pulled off by Vinnie.
vs Yokozuna @ RR94.....man they did well here.
vs Diesel @ WM12. Match of the night for me EASILY.....both men came out looking like a million $$.
vs Mankind in the summer of 1996 but Buried Alive was & is SUPERB. LOVE that match.
Vs HBK in HIAC.....oh man what a match. a perennial favourite.
vs HHH @ WM17....another belter.
His heel turn after Survivors 2001....genuinely surprised the hell outta me.
vs Ric Flair @ WM18. I was surprised as hell at this match....it had some genuine drama and that AA spinebuster was a mark out moment.
vs Brock Lesnar HIAC...my God....tough match. UTs hardway cut and his broken hand in this match makes it even more impressive. Even Vince wanted to stop it early due to UTs blood loss but he insisted on finishing the planned ending
vs Kurt Angle @ NWO 2006.....excellent.
vs Batista @ WM23.....whoa.
vs Edge @ WM24.......first time I felt the streak was in danger.
vs HBK @ WM25......whoo boy. We all know what a belter this was.

Taker vs Lesnar from 2002
I began watching full time in 1994. I had never seen any-one single man dominate Taker like Lesnar did and it just showed how amazing Taker was when he wanted to put someone over. Even after his feud with Rock, Lesnar needed a decisive victory over a legit top name in a long feud to be cemented as the future top star. After HHH reportedly refused to do it, Taker stepped up and made Lesnar look like a million bucks and then some.
And that HIAC they had in 2002 still remains the greatest HIAC match ever IMO.

This Should have added the lesnar 02 hell in a cell to mine! Great match, brutal and spectacular - exactly what hell in a cell should be!

I think Batista/HHH was the last great cell personally. And I have a soft spot for Orton/Taker at Mania 21. I thought the chokeslam to RKO counter was it at the time
