#1 The Undertaker debuts (Survivor Series 1990)

Is there any other WWE debut that's more storied than this one? Other than Kane - which still involved The Undertaker, obviously - this debut has gone from historic to mythological. It's the reason that, 30 years later, this year's Survivor Series is being promoted around The Deadman. The Undertaker is, without a doubt, the ultimate WWE guy.

But, let's move away from the historical significance of this moment and look at the moment itself. Considering this was an event where a human-sized turkey hatched out of an egg, Ted Dibiase's "mystery partner" could have been anybody. A returning star, or a wrestler from another company making his debut or even a beloved good guy turning heel. Instead, it was Mean Mark from WCW, in an old-timey old west mortician's outfit, coming to the ring at Survivor Series.

And it was terrifying.

Watch that video again. Listen to how quiet that crowd is. That's the impression he put on them and would continue to through his whole career. That's why The Undertaker's debut is No.1 on this list.

Do you think differently? We've got a comments section below, let's have at it. Otherwise, thanks for reading, and I'm outta here.
