The Undertaker's 10 Best Wrestlemania Entrances of All Time

The Undertaker is an impressive 23-2 at Wrestlemania, but, even more impressive than that are the ways that The Deadman makes his way to the ring at WWE's biggest show of the year.

While his Wrestlemania entrance hasn't always been a major production, in the 2000s WWE and Big Evil doubled down on Wrestlemania's production values and gave us these entrances worthy of Broadway.

Whether Undertaker and John Cena lock up at this year's Showcase of the Immortals, and whether the match redeems Undertaker's Orlando disappointment from last year, remains to be seen, but, if it happens, we at least have a great entrance to look forward to. Here's ten entrances that are proof.

#10. Wrestlemania XIX

We have to include one Bikertaker entrance out of courtesy, and Big Evil's ride to the Wrestlemania XIX ring is as good as any. Bruce Prichard noted when his podcast covered this show that crew members had to actively dodge Taker's speeding bike; most performers, Prichard explained, who played bikers tended to be timid riders, but Taker guns it down the ramp as Limp Bizkit rages and pyro pops.

#9. Wrestlemania IX

Wrestlemania IX is a pretty well forgotten show, and for good reason; few matches on the card break the three-star mark, and Undertaker's own contest is with a barely-able-to-work Giant Gonzalez and ends with a ridiculous no contest finish involving a bottle of chloroform. However, Undertaker makes the most of his opportunity to create spectacle, looking every bit the Grim Reaper riding to the ring in a chariot pulled by Egyptian priests, accompanied by a shrieking vulture.

#8. Wrestlemania 31

The California sun was rough on a lot of people's entrances at Wrestlemania 31 (just ask Sting and Triple H), but Undertaker and Bray Wyatt gave it their all with some unique walks down the aisle. Undertaker brings back the longer locks, having last appeared at Wrestlemania XXX with a short mohawk, and looked to rebuild his Wrestlemania mystique after his first loss.

Bray Wyatt's scarecrows might have been just a little bit better, though.

#7. Wrestlemania 33

When the sheer magnitude of the Wrestlemania 33 ramp leaked, the Vegas over/under on the length of Big Evil's entrance probably jumped to the ten-minute mark; luckily, Taker would rise from the depths of Hell itself in the middle of the ramp as Roman Reigns watched on from the ring. The amusement park set sprouting flames behind him was a nice dystopian touch.

#6. Wrestlemania 26

On the night Undertaker finally laid HBK's career to rest, the ghastly light fills Phoenix and the Deadman stands intimidating, still as a statue, at the top of the ramp before slowly marching to the ring. It's nothing out of the ordinary, but the size of the stadium and the circumstances of the match add to its potency.

#5. Wrestlemania 28

It takes a cold-blooded killer to turn Miami chilly, but Undertaker does that at Wrestlemania 28, stalking into Hell in a Cell wearing a robe straight out of H.P. Lovecraft's worst nightmares. Spikes, flames, and a killer hood lead the Deadman into one of his greatest Wrestlemania matches, and the fog effect helps build the fear.

#4. Wrestlemania 25

This one is made better by its contrast with HBK's entrance, where the born-again Christian descended from above wearing white inversion of the Deadman's entrance gear. Still, the rise from beneath always works, and Shawn's intense stare from the ring complement each other perfectly.

#3. Wrestlemania XXX

Perhaps foreshadowing the ultimate end to his vaunted Streak, Undertaker's entrance begins with a celebration of the different iterations of his gimmick that had graced the ring at Wrestlemania while a row of caskets bearing the names of each of his Wrestlemania victims. It pays tribute to Undertaker's past, and made clear that this would have been a viable stopping point had the Deadman retired after his first Mania loss.

#2. Wrestlemania 29

The last Wrestlemania where Undertaker walked away undefeated, Taker's Wrestlemania 29 entrance is a thing of beauty, as the souls of the damned claw at him as he passes through the smoke and flames. It takes a lot of work to outdo the live performance of "Cult of Personality" for CM Punk's entrance, but The Deadman pulls it off.

#1. Wrestlemania XX

Other Wrestlemania entrances have gone bigger, and bolder choices have been made as far as props and special effects in later years. However, simply for the fact that it reintroduced WWE audiences to their favorite supernatural superstar, and started the trend of Undertaker entrances becoming their own unique tradition, no entrance does it better than the druids, Paul Bearer, and the dead-eyed stare on the long, slow walk to the ring.
