Top 5 best storytellers in WWE today

Enter capt — He's got the whole damn world...in his hands.

#2 The Undertaker

There are many fans who would suggest that when it comes to the all-time greats in professional wrestling history, The Undertaker sits high atop that very mountain. While I may or may not agree with that sentiment, it's really hard to argue against said opinion.

For over three decades now, The Undertaker has been one of the most admired, revered and respected men in the wrestling industry. In the early years of his career, Taker was teased with a variety of different monikers which included "Texas Red," "The Punisher" and "The Commando" just to name a few. However, it was the cryptic mortician persona that the entire world got behind.

The Undertaker is a man of very few words. However, he is still one of the absolute best storytellers of all-time. Taker has been able to incorporate everything from his entrance to his subtle body movements, which have all played a role in his overall ability to tell a story better than most.

It's obvious that we have seen the best of The Deadman and that he likely has very few appearances left in him. However, let's enjoy it while we do still have him around. For instance, the upcoming clash with Triple H in Australia is something worth getting excited about. We are not sure exactly how much longer he will stick around, but at least we have him for yet another historic contest.
