The Undertaker might be one of the greatest wrestlers to have ever graced the squared circle, but there are many things in WWE he hasn’t done yet, like being a Paul Heyman guy. At least that’s what fans thought till now.

In a recent interview, the Undertaker shared details about a phase of his life that very few people know about. Back when he was part of WCW, The Deadman had Paul Heyman as his manager for a short time. This surprised many WWE fans worldwide who were unaware that Heyman and The Undertaker had previously worked together when the Deadman’s ring name was ‘ Mean’ Mark Callous.

The Deadman has had an incredible WWE career, winning multiple championships and defeating all the top superstars in the company. Interestingly,...

There have been countless wrestlers who have included spooky, undead, or horror imagery into their personas, but no one has ever done it quite like Windham "Bray Wyatt" Rotunda, who tragically passed away at the age of 36. It's impossible to overstate the brilliance Rotunda brought to the ring as Wyatt, elevating the art of wrestling to that of horror cinema.

He shot for the moon and even if the gimmick didn't land right away, he never gave up on figuring out how to make it work. Few of his peers were that brave, ever. Over the course of his career in WWE, Bray Wyatt truly became the new face of fear, and incorporated horror into the world of wrestling in a way that no one before him ever could.

From farmers to aerobics instructors, teachers to dentists, along with cowboys, fairies, millionaires, bodyguards, garbage men, plumbers, race car drivers, truck drivers, bikers, Mortal Kombat characters (or close facsimiles thereof), rednecks, rappers, country singers, supermodels, and so on, many gimmicks simply beggar belief.

In other cases, there are those gimmicks which just seem so strange, so out there that it feels like there is no way the audience could ever invest themselves in someone wearing the persona of a particular gimmick. And yet, despite all the odds to the contrary, they not only manage to survive… they manage to thrive as well.

Of course, many of these don’t tend to go very far. In some cases,...

The wrestling world was enormously shocked this week with news of the sudden death of Jim “Ultimate Warrior” Hellwig.

It’s amazing to consider that his career in the WWF could have taken such a different path had he gone to Japan as a headliner. Eerily, his speech at the 2014 Hall of Fame and subsequent Monday Night Raw contain numerous dark premonitions about his life. His impressive win record over top opponents is unlikely to be matched again. Most surprisingly, his lawsuits have uncovered a secret 1997 WWF deal that almost brought Warrior into the Attitude-era mix.
