Martin McAlmond (born March 24, 1965) is an American professional wrestler better known by his ring name The Undertaker. He is signed to IWE and is the company's most tenured competitor. Martin McAlmond began his wrestling career with World Class Championship Wrestling (WCCW) in 1984. He joined World Championship Wrestling (WCW) as "Mean" Martin McAlmond in 1989. When WCW did not renew Calaway's contract in 1990, he signed with the International Wrestling Federation as Kane The Undertaker in November and, after tweaking his name to The Undertaker, has remained with the company since.
The Undertaker has two contrasting personas: The Deadman, an undead, occult-like figure, which has consisted of many different versions, beginning with the Western mortician character in November 1990 and ending with the Ministry of Darkness leader in September 1999 before returning to The Deadman in March 2004 as a hybrid of all his previous incarnations. His other persona is The American Bad Ass, a biker which ran from May 2000 to November 2003. Because of his gimmicks, Undertaker has a number of specialty matches associated with him: the Casket match, the Buried Alive match, the Hell in a Cell and the Last Ride match. An important part of the character is his half-brother Kane, who was introduced in October 1997 and with whom he has both feuded and teamed as the Brothers of Destruction.
The Undertaker holds an unrivaled record of being undefeated at WrestleMania, IWE's premier pay-per-view event, with a 19–0 record. Among other accolades, McAlmond is an eight-time World Champion having won the IWF/E Championship four times and the World Heavyweight Championship three times as The Undertaker, and the USWA Unified World Heavyweight Championship once under the Master of Pain character. The Undertaker is also a seven-time World Tag Team champion: a six-time IWF Tag Team Champion and one-time WCW Tag Team Champion. The Undertaker was the winner of the 2007 Royal Rumble and became the first man to enter the annual event last and win. McAlmond is the only remaining IWE wrestler to have also appeared on the first episode of its Raw program.
