The Undertaker returned to his old gimmick of an undead druid on the 14th of March, 2004, at WrestleMania XX. The Phenom returned again in his ‘Dead Man’ persona after spending several years featuring the gimmick of a biker.

The Undertaker had been put out of action in 1999. The Dead Man returned in a different gimmick after 8 months away from the ring in May, 2000. During this time, he made his way through the roster and was considered to be someone not to be messed with, although not displaying his ‘undead’ powers.

In 2001, after the defeat of The Alliance, The Undertaker took the gimmick of ‘Big Evil’. He was a heel during this time, although he was still cheered anyway. He changed to a face later in his run.

He continued in this gimmick till 2003, where he lost a ‘Buried Alive’ match to Mr. McMahon due to interference from Kane.

When he returned, there were haunting and creepy vignettes leading up to WrestleMania in 2004. Kane was freaked out and at WrestleMania XX, he returned accompanied by Paul Bearer in his ‘Dead Man’ persona to defeat Kane at Madison Square Garden.
