5 weird WWE facts you may not have known

#2. The Undertaker was the first WWE Champion to be younger than the title itself

The title now known as the WWE Championship was established on April 25th (hey, this writer's birthday!), 1963. It was "won" by the original "Nature Boy," Buddy Rogers in a factional tournament in Rio de Janerio, Brazil.

Interestingly, this was the same location the company claimed the fictional tournament to crown the first Intercontinental Champion was held. There must be something about Rio.

Survivor Series 1991 saw The Undertaker - the company's newest (and scariest ever) villain - defeat Hulk Hogan to win his first WWE Championship.

Mark Calaway was born on was born on March 24th, 1965, almost two years after the title was established. At 26 years old, the soon-to-be Hall of Famer was also the youngest person to win the championship at the time. That record would be broken by Yokozuna a few years later,

Much like his storyline brother Kane - we just talked about him - Undertaker's first WWE Championship reign didn't last particularly long. The Deadman lost the title to Hulk Hogan about a month later at the This Tuesday in Texas event, following some mistimed interference by Ric Flair.

As mentioned before, everything circles back, and following the title being vacated due to Flair's shenanegans, it was Flair who ended up champion the next month after winning the Royal Rumble.

When we look at Undertaker these days, we see an elder statesman of the wrestling industry. It's impressive to look back and see that even in his early days, he was pretty incredible.

Coincidentally, who was it that defeated Hogan and ended the Hulkster's final world championship reign in 2002? The Undertaker.

Also, just going along with this: When Seth Rollins cashed in his Money in the Bank contract at WrestleMania 31, he became the first wrestler younger than WrestleMania itself to be in the main event.
