Undertaker: Undertaker Kane
built 812 days ago
At WrestleMania XX, the Undertaker would finally return in the Deadman gimmick, again accompanied by Paul Bearer, and defeated Kane. This gimmick could be best described as a hybrid of the classic Undertaker and American Bad Ass gimmicks. Three months later, Paul Bearer was kidnapped by The Dudley Boyz at the direction of Paul Heyman, who then took "control" of Undertaker in the storyline. At the June 2004 pay-per-view The Great American Bash 2004, Undertaker buried Bearer in cement after winning a handicap match against the Dudley Boyz, as a means of removing his "weakness" so that Heyman or others could no longer control him. Fans were later told that Bearer was "seriously injured", following which William Moody (Bearer) was taken off television.
The next night on Raw is War, the Undertaker stated that he was Vince McMahon's worst nightmare and that he would soon own the WWF. Before the Inferno match against Kane, Paul Bearer delivered a box to McMahon, which contained a stuffed teddy bear. Undertaker won the match, when he pushed Kane's foot into the fire. Undertaker then took the teddy bear and set it on fire, which got Vince to say: No please no. This revealed that the Undertaker has something planned with a McMahon relative.

A month later, Undertaker teamed with Stone Cold to defeat Kane & Mankind for the World Tag Team Championship. They would lose the gold shortly thereafter, and Undertaker would lose to Austin at SummerSlam 1998 in a classic battle for the WWE Championship.

At Survivor Series 2003, Undertaker lost his Buried Alive Match against Vince McMahon when Kane interfered. He was not seen for a while after that, and Kane claimed that the Undertaker was dead and buried forever.
That summer, Kane & Undertaker continued to battle, and the Big Red Machine found an ally in his brother’s arch-nemesis, Mankind. Mankind battled Undertaker in an infamous Hell in a Cell Match at King of the Ring 1998; the Deadman won the match, which provided one of the most breathtaking visuals in WWE history when he threw Mankind off the Cell through the Spanish announcers’ table nearly 20 feet below.
