#2 The Undertaker refuses to win the WWE Championship

The Undertaker is arguably one of the greatest WWE Superstars to have ever graced this business. Announcing his retirement recently, The Undertaker is a multi-time World Champion in WWE, having had a nearly three-decade-long legendary career.

What many fans might not know is that The Undertaker once refused to win the WWE Championship. It was in 2004 when Eddie Guerrero was the WWE Champion, and many top-level Superstars either left the company or were on the sidelines. WWE decided to put the title on their trusted guy, The Undertaker.

But the Phenom refused to win the title as he was transitioning back into his Deadman gimmick from the brief American Badass one. He didn't want a title reign to come in between the transition, something that shows how devoted he was to his gimmick. WWE ultimately picked JBL to challenge Eddie Guerrero.

The Undertaker, on the other hand, brought back the dead man gimmick and made his already Hall-of-Fame worthy career even more legendary. In true sense, The Undertaker is one of the few WWE Superstars who are above the Championship golds and all that glory!
