Synopsis
Ever since his 1990 debut, professional wrestler and all-around American badass Mark Calaway (aka the Undertaker) has ruled the WWE as one of the sports' greatest stars. During his long reign, the Undertaker has racked up an impressive list of accomplishments, including four WWE championships, six tag-team championships, and an unparalleled 13-0 record at Wrestlemania. This collection celebrates the Deadman's remarkable legacy through 91 of his most memorable matches, including the 1991 Survivor Series against Hulk Hogan, the 1994 Royal Rumble against Yokozuna, the infamous 1998 King of the Ring against Mankind, the Wrestlemania XX showdown against his rival Kane, and many more.

This Collection Is Amazing
First i wanna thank the WWE for putting this DVD out, it is not a DVD with a story of the Undertakers life this is merely a collection of all his greatest matches from the start to finish of his career (although it isn't finished yet).
My favourite Undertaker matches i will talk about here one by one so here goes.
Undertaker vs Mankind Hell In A Cell Match King Of The Ring 1998: Who doesn't know about this match? wether you were a wrestling fan or not around this time you will of heard about it because it was just crazy. This match not only overshadowed Micks past career as his most death defying moment but it set in stone the character of the Undertaker as a cold hearted evil man who will go to any lengths to hurt somebody.
The first throw off the cell is unbelievable and i genuinly thought mankind might of been killed at that moment, luckily he wasn't and he was actually still able to go through the top of the cell down to the ring via a chokeslam. This match is very slow, mainly because of the huge falls Mankind takes but it is also the most entertaining match in the set.
Kane s Undertaker Inferno Match Unforgiven 1998: This year was Takers best year because not only did he have the most memorable match in history with Mankind and had people believe he would kill his opponents if he had to but now the WWE decided that if the Undertaker was this dangerous in a cell, let's stick fire around the ring, remove the cell and put him against his brother.
This = Excellence as it is again one of Undertakers best matches, him and Kane fail to put on a bad match in my opinion now considering the size of the pair of them you would think this wouldn't be a very quick paced match, but you would be wrong. The entire ring is used well and when it comes to Underakers classic dive over the top rope and that brings the end of the match which is so cool you wouldn't believe.
Well they are the 2 of my favourite matches but trust me there are alot more of Takers classic matches, the only bad part of this collection is that there is a serious lack of his matches as the biker Undertaker but none the less buy this collection as it provides hours and hours of entertainment.
Tombstone: The History Of The Deadman
I was really looking forward to the release of this dvd and when i first watched it i thought that it was absolutely amazing.
I am a huge Taker fan, i especially liked him when he returned as a biker, but i was really disapointed that some AWESOME matches were left out of the DVD and they were:
* Shane, Vince and HHH vs The Rock, Kane and Taker at King of the Ring 2000
* Taker vs Kane at Summerslam 2000
* And especially Benoit vs Rock vs Kane vs Taker at Unforgiven 2000
I dont know why they only put singles matches on but i thought some of them really sucked and they thing that annoyed me the most about the DVD was the fact that all the WWF logos on the turnbuckles were dubbed out that really annoyed me, i know why they've done it but it really sucked.
However there were some AWESOME matches on the DVD my three favourites were:
* The Undertaker vs Kurt Angle on Smackdown
* The hell in a cell match with Taker vs Mankind that was the second best HIAC match ever behind HHH vs Shawn Michaels at Bad Blood 2004.
* And i was only just born when the Taker vs Hogan match took place but i watched it back and it was amazing i especially liked Ric Flair at the end of the match.
Overall i give the DVD 4 stars and if you love The Undertaker you will love Tombstone and people say that the storyline sucked i thought that it helped me to understand because many younger viewers wont know what happened at the start of Takers career and it helps you to understand what the WWE was like back then.
Not quite the ultimate collection
I am a very big fan of the Undertaker and have been since I bean watching WWF/e in 2000 and as such was waiting for a collection of the Undertaker which would be to the standard of the Ric Flair collection. Unfortunately however this disappoints me for many reasons, the disclusion of his debut match and also Over the edge 99 where he won the title from Steve Austin. The latter has never been seen due to the unfortunate death of Owen Hart at the event. The next poin that brings it down yet another star is the style. This DVD is purely a greatest matches look rather than at the character who could provide a good look at the characters in WWE. Although many matches would be missing from the collection, I would recommend as a companion DVD you try and get Undertaker- This Is My Yard as this nearer to the style that you want and has many good matches aswell not included in this set.
