====SECTION 1: HISTORY OF THE UNDERTAKER=====
=============================================

"Dead Man Walking"


Debuting in the 1990 Survivor Series alongside Brother Love
(Paul Bearer would replace him later), the Undertaker defeated
all of the WWF's most popular wrestlers of the moment. His haunting
appearance and creepy attacks made him a popular character.
He even beat Hulk Hogan for the World Championship.
(Hogan would win it again a week later).

Undertaker would go on to beat many wrestlers but suffered
a major loss against Yokozuna in the 1994 Royal Rumble. The
No Holds Barred Casket Match saw the Undertaker defeated
by Yokozuna and 8 other superstars. The Undertaker would
disappear from the ring for a while, but returned when Ted
DiBiase brought in a fake Undertaker to take his place. After
that, the Undertaker would return as a powerful force. He would
later have memorable matches against Crush, Yokozuna, and IRS.

Undertaker would later get a boost in popularity from his fights
with Mankind.The firts were the first to introduce gimmick matches
like Hell in a Cell.After that, Undertaker would find out that he had
a younger brother. Kane would emerge and that fued became quite popular.
(WWE just brought it back again during the 2003 Survivor Series) When
that was over, he started the Ministry of Darkness and later the Corporate
Ministry. Both failed and he later returned as the American Badass. By
cutting his long hair and resembling a biker, Undertaker once again
got a large audience and won the World Championship again.

With this year's Survivor Series, Undertaker was buried alive by Kane and
Vince McMahon. As of this moment, it is uncertain if Undertaker will return
to his old gimmick and fued with Kane, or just come back to whip Vince one
last time. Since he has gotten a bit slower and older, it seems that the Undertaker
might retire soon. However, he has made many accomplishments in the WWE which
include winnng the Chamionship 4 times and having a perfect streak at
Wrestlemania. (Over 10 wins)

==========================
==SECTION 4: RE-EDITING===
==========================

NOTE: I'd like some other ways to edit the Undertaker. If anyone has
suggestions or any errors, please e-mail me.

His most critical update should be to replace the folding powerbomb with Add-On
Move #9 (The Last Ride).

These are other suggestions:

1)Classic Undertaker: Keep costume #4 (the one with the purple gloves) and change some of
the following:

Raise:
Suplex Defense rating to 6
Submission Defense to 6
Power Offense to 10
Arm Power to 10
Respitory to Medium

Changes:
Grapple (X) + (A)........Jumping Tombstone Piledriver [F]
Change the folding powerbomb into a DDT or brainbuster and turn it into [S].

He can either have Second Wind, Hardbody, Strike Back, Monster or Great Counterattack because of
his power to get back up and fight after a huge beating.


2)Modern Undertaker: You can either change his head to the mustache and short hair look or
keep it the same. Color his shirt black.

Raise:
Submission Offense to 6
Punch Offense to 7
Kick Offense to 6

Offensive Skill to Power

Lower:
Recovery to Medium

Undertaker has adapted a semi-shoot style to his movelist.
Replace:
Opponent Face Up at Head (A).......................Dragon Sleeper [S]
Mount Position Counter.............................Triangle Hold
Grapple (B) + Left/Right..................Machine Gun Style Jabs
Standing (B).......................................Combination 3

=======================
==SECTION 5: STRATEGY==
=======================

GENERAL STRATEGY

Don't let his parameter stats fool you. Undertaker is a really strong wrestler
that can be used in different types of matches. He is fast for his size, so
rest after using running attacks. (use running attacks a lot). Work your way
up to the stronger grapples and a you can win quickly. Taker can't take much
submission moves, so try to grapple and be under caution.

STRIKES
Taker's strikes are weak (especially his kicks) and shouldn't be used that much.
Like most American wrestlers, Taker has the two generic punches which should act as
pokers. His Giant Kick should only be used with slow-medium wrestlers since the move
itself is slow. Running attacks are your main weapons. The running lariat and DDT
can be life savers and they are easy to combo with. When the opponent is down, keep on
using the Guillotine Drop to add on to the damage.

GRAPPLES
When using grapples, move your way up to his signature moves. Your main focus should be
on his more powerful moves like the Choke Slam, Tombstone, and Side Buster. Repeat the use
of these moves and go on to use the folding powerbomb (or Last Ride if he's updated).

COMBOS

    1)High Angle Choke Slam -> Collar Hold
    2)Flying Jumping DDT -> STF

The next one can only be done when your opponent is weak enough to get hit twice
while he is down. It's worth the wait.
    3)Flying Lariat -> Guillotine Drop -> Ankle Lock
