5 little-known facts about The Undertaker 

#3. The streak began on his birthday

Undertaker's streak began at WrestleMania VII in 1991

The best-known fact about The Undertaker is definitely that he once had an undefeated streak at WrestleMania - the longest of any superstar in history. While many fans can name all of the opponents that Undertaker has defeated as part of this streak, there is one fact that not many fans are aware of.

Undertaker first appeared at WrestleMania back in 1991 when he took on Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka to notch up his first victory of many at the biggest show of the year. The streak first began on March 24th, 1991 - which just so happened to be The Deadman's 26th birthday.

It is believed that Undertaker was given the win because it was his birthday and it was then the beginning of the longest undefeated streak in history. Another fact that many fans forget is that The Undertaker wasn't part of every WrestleMania between WrestleMania VII and WrestleMania 34. In fact, he missed two WrestleMania's during this period because of storylines at that time.

The Deadman missed WrestleMania in 1994 following an attack at the hands of Yokozuna at The Royal Rumble and didn't return until SummerSlam later that year. He was sidelined throughout 2000 after he tore a pectoral muscle in the fall of 1999 which kept him out of action until May 2000, when he returned as The American Badass.
