Younger fans might not realize that The Undertaker was not always associated with the urn nor was his first manager Paul Bearer. The Undertaker made his debut at Survivor Series 1990 as the mysterious last member of Ted DiBiasie’s Million Dollar team.

His first manager was Brother Love a short while later. The urn first appeared with Paul Bearer in a funeral parlor segment shorty after Brother Love gave up managing Undertaker. From then on, when The Undertaker would be knocked down during matches, Bearer would raise the urn and The Undertaker would immediately sit up. There were times that Paul Bearer also used the urn as a weapon. The urn was said to have a supernatural effect on the Deadman.

The urn has been a signature of Undertaker’s characters over the years, from his beginning as the Western mortician, the Ministry of Darkness incarnation during the Attitude Era all the way to the modern era.

The urn was said to have contained the ashes of Undertaker’s parents whose deaths he was said to have been responsible for. In the early years, it was even said that whoever possessed the urn could control The Undertaker.
