The Undertaker is the greatest of all time...

[Maluco]

...I was thinking about this while listening to wrestling themes at the gym, and the more I thought about it, the more I was convinced.

The reason it came into my head were the different versions of his themes. It's incredible how many times he has changed it up and reimagined the character to keep it fresh.

This is the only guy who mixed it up with Hogan's generation at a main event level and continues to do so in today's 'legend' form. Survivor Series will be 25 years and The Undertaker has been at the top that whole time.

He has carried feuds with lumbering giants and monsters and retained fans interest in his battles when the match quality was poor and he has also triumphed at the other end of the scale, having some fantastic matches with an array of opponents, including some of the best matches ever with HBK.

He has also sat at the top of the tree as a heel and a face character, whether that was as a heel with Hogan in the beginning or as the sinister Ministry character. He has also had entire crowds behind him at the very biggest events as a face.

He is not a devisive character like a John Cena might be defined. Crowds fully bought him as a face and as aa heel across eras and feuds and different landscapes.

He was also a guy who paid his dues early on. Legend has it that Vince wasn't sold on him as a performer and given one opportunity, he turned the Undertaker into the greatest gimmick of all time. People can say it was a winner from the start but it really wasn't. It could have been cartoonish or downright laughable, but he played it so well and constantly updated it and redefines it.

The streak stands as a testament to who I believe is the greatest of all time, someone who stood tall across a variety of feuds, opponents, generations, eras and landscapes. He consistently made the very most of what was given to him and managed to stay at the very top for a very long time, through not just the strengths of his character, but of his performance and vision, constantly changing and adapting to his environment.

He has so many unique qualities and has so many unique attributes and achievements that I believe he stands alone as the very best of all time.
