The Career of The Undertaker: 1997

[@thejesman]

I love that you're taking this story one year at a time. If anyone deserves it, it's the Undertaker.

[@tyrone5969]

And Glacier.

[@SonnyK248]

So apparently there was a little red headed punk running around a funeral home called The Undertaker. That's when you know your dad is a true savant of his profession. .

[@undertakerfan0658]

I absolutely cannot wait for the 98 and 99 episodes, those are my favorite taker years imo

[@pezpowerproductions2602]

Those are like my favorite years in wrestling all together

[@duvallcarter4377]

What a career for the Phenom. Yes he should've retired years ago, but that shows you the love he has for the business. Much respect for the Deadman.

[@heartthrob2710]

And what respect WWE, f had 4him (including fans)

[@Kas58223]

midniteryder he should have fought Kane at wrestlemania 30 with Kane coming back as his 1997 version

[@aaronneville1164]

Taker, Michaels, Hart, Austin, Sid, Vader and Mankind. So much inner conflict and unfinished business going on at the same time, between a number of combinations in this group of guys, going on in 1997. What a year!

[@bsnhbksan]

1997 had some amazing feuds (a few of these carrying over to 1998): HBK v Austin, HBK v Hart, HBK v Taker, Austin v Hart, Austin v Taker, Austin v Rock .. I was 14 years old, watched it all play out week to week, whole thing was like magic!

[@seXXXpac]

Joshua Izzo lol yeah.. no

[@WarhawkBeyond2040]

Thank you so much for uploading this video, I consider 1997 to be one of Undertaker's best years ever in his career and he was at the peak of his gothic persona. His segments with Paul Bearer especially with the buildup for Kane's debut was some of the best storytelling ever on TV, his match with HBK in the first ever hell in a cell match was match of the year and he had an epic title reign as wwf champion. This is one of my favourite years as an Undertaker fan and I can't wait for you to cover 1998 🤞 🙏 😁

[@joshuaarthur6012]

@WarhawkBeyond2040 I Agree

[@frankiewilson819]

I just have to say, Thank you Wrestling Bios. I stopped watching wrestling around 2004, but always had a soft spot for the New era and Attitude era. Your videos allow me to relive all those Great moments and memories from my childhood. This is, by far, my favorite "wrestling themed" channel on youtube. Thank you again, and stay safe good sir.

[@stephensullivan1879]

Same here

[@pezpowerproductions2602]

Omg me too. This post is legit the same thing I would say!

[@blackmagefelix6548]

I remember that fireball to Paul Bearer it was so painful that it changed his hair color and brightened his overall skin tone.

[@randymanmaximus8419]

The story leading to Kane's debut was stuff off legend.

[@camcamz2128]

We need a Paul bearer video soon!! He has the same the birthday as me April 10th another excellent video

[@kingsasuke86]

I like how they made paul scar smaller by the weeks.

[@arpegio88]

16:52, I was there that night, Mother's day 1997! I'll Never forget it! I "rewarded" my Mom for that special day by asking both her and my Dad for tickets so they could attend the show with me!😆#kidlogic.

[@johnasbury3856]

1983 and 84 as well as 1997 and 98. 4 best years in my time watching wrestling as a kid and teenager/highschooler.

[@swanyay3304]

Gave this video a thumbs up before I started watching...I have all faith this video is epic

[@deelove7518]

You sir are the KING of Context. My favorite channel. I've been a wrestling fan since the mid 80s. Today's wrestling doesn't give me that fix but your bios and the way you break every detail down just shows how hard you really work. Thank you for my wrestling fix. 💯💯

[@stewartmeetball3417]

One of if not the best gimmick in the history of wrestling.

So glad you mentioned Cold day in Hell. I was about 9 or 10 in 97 and that was my first Wrestling event. Thanks Man

[@billymincey3246]

I was about 8 going on 9 in 1997

[@cedxced5240]

Man,1997 was truly the best year in wrestling. The whole feel of the RAW, the intriguing Undertaker - Paul Bearer - Kane storyline.. Wondering what Kane was going to look like when he debuted..

[@bryan006981]

Thank you for this bro much needed content in these uncertain times.

[@raphaelmorrata8905]

One of his best year with his first real run as WWF champion and the feud with Kane. Yeah definitly a very good year for him

[@KaiM2583]

Yes! I’ve looked forward to this so much! 🙏 thank you!!!

[@BlueLighteningGojo]

One thing I’ll never understand is...did they forget Paul never introduced Undertaker to the WWF? It was Ted D...and afternoon Taker was paired with Brother Love for a minute...

[@CarloisBuriedAlive]

They’ve explained that by saying Paul Bearer had business to attend to so he was late in his arrival to support The Undertaker. I’ve seen that explanation in interviews and also comics exploring the Undertaker/Kane lore.

[@mickyfynn326]

And the undertaker actually went by the name "kane the undertaker'' his first match or two

[@ComicBookGuy420]

@@CarloisBuriedAlive which comics, I have the 90's ones and i never saw that

[@VMpastore]

I love your undertaker series. He’s my favorite wrestler and 1997 is a very memorable year for me.

[@flintose927]

My older brothers favorite wrestler was The Undertaker and he'd chop thrust everyone in the throat, just like Taker 😂

[@guacamole9199]

I love how your doing Taker (and few others) across multiple videos!! There's just too much to be told in 1 video unless it was like 3 hours long. Love your work this channel and the bio idea is money!!

[@CraigSmithII]

I've read on various accounts that Jerry Lawler had some input into the Taker/Kane storyline in 1997. If it's true & if he did,it was a very well written storyline

[@TheAutistWhisperer]

I can't wait for the eventual video on his Ministry run.

[@owainoshea1498]

Awesome years. He was brilliant then

[@jasonmarsh2466]

Rather listen to this than pay attention to what's going on in wwe these days. Thank you wrestling bios. Great job.

[@jamesandrewjohnstone1931]

One of the best characters in the WWE..Great vid.

[@noloking]

I've always wanted an analysis of this feud as I'm not really into the Attitude Era, but this was a well built rivalry.

[@pizzahighfive2612]

You are a fan of the attitude era, you just probably don't know it yet. Like you said you really liked this feud, there's a lot more like it.

[@barnabylowe1239]

As soon as wrestling bios says a match was decent, you know he’s going to mention another that’s worth watching more.

[@tyrone5969]

That's by definition. If something's decent, there's, by definition, things better and even far better than it is. If something's OK there's things better than it. That's how descriptors work.

[@buckyhate7695]

Another great upload. Can't wait for the next installment. This kind of stuff, is why you have the best wrestling channel around.

[@DeadliftDarrell]

. You're currently making the best pro wrestling documentary content on planet Earth. Thank you so much.

[@Gcrab71989]

Undertaker has obviously had a lot of great years, but 1996-1999 are my favorites. These vids have been a great trip down memory lane. Can't wait to see your 1998 video!

[@pizzahighfive2612]

Agreed, definitely the most "Metal" Undertaker has been.

That's Mayor Kane, and don't you forget it! On a more serious note, it's kind of weird yet also pretty cool seeing Glenn Jacobs go from being Kane to being a mayor. I still remember seeing some sort of press conference he did while mayor where he put on the Kane mask and gave some guy a chokeslam through a table lol.

back in the territory days Jerry Lawler did fireballs in Memphis I believe after seeing the original Sheik and the Jim Cornette one on Ronny Garvin and the Famous "Went Up Like The Challenger" comment

[@ComicBookGuy420]

Shiek was the first one I ever saw doing it

[@HoustonSoto]

I appreciate the small details in how they transitioned Paul Bearer from his classic mortician look to his more natural self by having him suffer a fireball and then have his bandages on his face/head slowly come off week to week to make you not realize the change.

[@blackmantis3130]

Yeah the writing was so good

But it is significant to be a credible champion

[@imogenaris1697]

Ginger taker came back for a bit too during '97. The Undertaker looked great no matter what look he wore during the 90's, and carried himself like no other. Excellent performances throughout his whole career. When he's finally inducted into the HOF, it had better be a grand ceremony.
