Was there a plan for Mark Callaway to appear in a different gimmick?

Or did the WWE straight up thought of the Undertaker gimmick for him?

I think originally they wanted to make him debut in the Egg but Vince nixed the idea after seeing how awesome he was. WCW screwed up royally letting him go. Jim Herd is an asshole.

Ole Anderson didn't think he'd draw because he had red hair.

Pretty much, except he was first called "Kane the Undertaker"

Wasn't it Cain the Undertaker? And then only for his first 2 or 3 appearances.

I thought so, but....

I don't know how much original input he had on the character, but I have heard that the reason he has an Old West look is because Taker based the character on Stephen King's The Gunslinger.
