3. The Ministry of Darkness

Some years ago, The Undertaker created a following that is still talked about today. Fans have always known him to embrace the dark side, however, at this time he also had with him a collective of talent embrace his message. With his entrance often bringing about cheers from fans, his synonymous gong always spawns a reaction. From his debut alongside Brothr Love to his long association with Paul Bearer,The Undertaker is the embodiment of darkness in light.

However, during the late 1990s around the turn of the century, The Undertaker now walked with an entire ministry. While suffering an injury at the time, The Undertaker had the opportunity to evolve his character rather than to focus on being an in-ring talent. He wore a long hooded cloak to the ring, and would be accompanied by The Brood (Edge, Christian, and Gangrel), The Acolytes (Bradshaw and Faarooq), Mideon and Viscera. His storyline of kidnapping a young Stephanie McMahon and attempting to marry her in an Eldritch ceremony almost resembled a crucifixion.
