Like some of the other Superstars on this list, it seems difficult to imagine The Undertaker being anything other than a face these days but for the first two years of his esteemed career, he remained a largely silent presence.

In 1992, Jake 'The Snake' Roberts had managed to get control of The Undertaker, and he would often use The Deadman to his advantage during matches. During a feud with Randy Savage, Roberts attempted to hit Miss Elizabeth with a chair, leading to Taker stepping in and stopping him.

This would all lead to a famous Funeral Parlour segment, where, when asked whose side he was on by Roberts, The Undertaker simply replied 'not yours'. The crowd popped big for Taker at this and they have pretty much reacted the same way to him ever since.

The rest of the segment is fairly ridiculous and includes several urns, The Undertaker getting his hand caught in a coffin, and Paul Bearer screaming, a lot. While the segment has certainly dated, it still remains one of the most important face-turns in the history of the WWE.
