As mentioned earlier, The Undertaker has played The Deadman ever since the character returned in 2004. However, his position in WWE changed over the years. By 2009 and 2010, 'Taker began working a much lighter schedule in WWE. He slowly became a part-timer.

And just like that, The Undertaker would only wrestle once a year. It became a pattern, with The Deadman returning to WWE in February to begin the build for his WrestleMania match. And with his undefeated streak reaching 20, the matches felt more important. This formula was tried and tested, producing some excellent bouts.

Undertaker went on an impressive streak of WrestleMania classics just before going part-time, building on it with matches against Shawn Michaels, Triple H, and CM Punk. The Undertaker's match at WrestleMania was just as important as the main event, if not more so. This brought the best out of The Deadman, with the intrigue of The Streak possibly being broken keeping this run going.

However, all good things must come to an end. Sometimes, all it takes is a violent mercenary. Brock Lesnar eventually broke the Streak, making it 21-1. It was a very emotional moment, knowing that nothing would ever be the same again. The aura was lost on that fateful night at the Superdome.
