Once The Undertaker's winning streak at WrestleMania was acknowledged, WWE left no stone unturned to book The Undertaker's WrestleMania bouts with big names. WWE did not make the foolish move to book him with small names, but in the list of many that The Undertaker has fought, there are very notable wrestlers The Undertaker still hasn't faced at WrestleMania yet. Today, The Undertaker defines WrestleMania and for the years ahead, one will remember The Undertaker's contribution to the grandest stage of WWE.
Call it fantasy booking, but The Undertaker has been around WWE for almost three decades now and has been around all the big names in the company. In the 24 WrestleMania matches that he has been a part of, there are many wrestlers The Undertaker still hasn't fought. The list of many also included John Cena but only till the squash match last year where The Undertaker was victorious. The Undertaker has fought almost all the great legends of the game, including Ric Flair, Diesel, Triple H, and Shawn Michaels.
Today let's dive a little deeper into The Streak and take a look at the 5 wrestlers The Undertaker hasn't wrestled at WrestleMania.
#4 Hulk Hogan
In the fall of 1991, Hulk Hogan lost the WWE Championship to The Undertaker at Survivor Series only to win it back six days later in a now-retired Pay Per View - This Tuesday in Texas. 11 years later in 2002 at Judgement Day, The Undertaker once again defeated Hulk Hogan for the WWE Undisputed Championship. These are the only three times that both these wrestlers featured in the same ring at a Pay-Per-View.
In 1991, The Undertaker faced Jimmy Snuka in his first ever WrestleMania match. At the 2002 WrestleMania or WrestleMania X8, The Undertaker faced the legendary Ric Flair in a no-disqualification match. It would have been amazing to watch The Undertaker take on Hulk Hogan in a WrestleMania match.
#3 Sting
Both these wrestlers have a certain amount of mysticism about them. Sting is widely regarded as one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. But his dying devotion to WCW made him one of the very few wrestlers to have never appeared for the company, until 2014.
The WWE Universe has never seen a Sting vs The Undertaker match on television. Sting did fight Mark Callaway in his pre-Undertaker gimmick at WCW. When Sting debuted on WWE in 2014, stakes were high that both these superstars will face off against each other at WrestleMania but Sting's appearance was used to push Seth Rollins and a feud with Triple H. Reports say that Sting almost reached an agreement with WWE on a potential WrestleMania match against The Undertaker at WrestleMania XXVII.
#2 Kurt Angle
The Undertaker faced Mark Henry at WrestleMania 22 even after being pitted against Kurt Angle for the most part of the year. The Undertaker was in pursuit for the World Heavyweight Championship held by Kurt Angle at that time. Mark Henry would later cost The Undertaker his match against Kurt Angle for the World Heavyweight Championship, resulting in The Phenom challenging Mark Henry for a casket match.
#1 Stone Cold Steve Austin
Bret Hart won a match between himself, The Undertaker, Psycho Sid, Vader, and Stone Cold Steve Austin to determine the new WWE Champion after Shawn Michaels vacated it in 1997. Hart won the match and captured the belt only to lose it the next night on RAW to Psycho Sid.
While Stone Cold Steve Austin and Bret Hart continued with their feud, it threw doors open for The Undertaker to challenge Psycho Sid for a title match at WrestleMania. This was the only storyline where Stone Cold Steve Austin could potentially have a match with The Undertaker at The Grandest Stage Of Them All.
