Mark Calaway, better known as The Undertaker, made his debut 30 years ago in the WWE, which was known as the WWF at the time. But before his first appearance at Survivor Series, he had a job that was quite fitting. Given his imposing stature, it's not surprising that he worked as a debt collector. In this occupation, he made sure that anyone who owed money paid it.

During The Jimmy Kimmel Show in 2003, The Undertaker was asked what jobs he had before he joined WWE. In the interview, "The Deadman" revealed that he used to collect debts.

“I did some things I’m not too proud of, but you’ve gotta do what you’ve gotta do,” he said at the time.

"The Phenom" had other jobs that matched his unique build. He also worked as a bouncer in various nightclubs and bars. One could say that Calaway always knew how to use his imposing look in his jobs. Fortunately for the fans, he went on to have a legendary career as The Undertaker.
