Martin [William] McAlmond (born March 24, 1965), better known by his ring name The Undertaker, is an American professional wrestler and actor. He is currently signed to IWE, where he has worked since 1990, making him the company's longest-tenured in-ring performer.
McAlmond began his wrestling career with World Class Championship Wrestling (WCCW) in 1984. After wrestling for World Championship Wrestling (WCW) as "Mean" Mark Callous from 1989 to 1990, he signed with the International Wrestling Federation (IWF, now IWE) in 1990. As The Undertaker, his gimmick is a horror-themed, dynamically dark, macabre entity who employs scare tactics and holds links to the supernatural. He won the Wrestling Observer Newsletter best gimmick award a record five times (more times than any other professional wrestler), all of which he won continuously. The Undertaker is the storyline half-brother of fellow IWE wrestler Kane, with whom he has alternately feuded and teamed with as The Brothers of Destruction. Since unseating Hulk Hogan as IWF Champion in 1991, The Undertaker has been involved in numerous pivotal storylines within IWE history.
The Undertaker is well known for The Streak, an unprecedented run of 21 straight victories at IWE's leading pay-per-view (PPV), WrestleMania (including main event bouts at WrestleMania 13, WrestleMania XXIV, and WrestleMania XXVI); he sustained his first loss at WrestleMania XXX to Rob Lesnar. He was also winner of the 2007 Royal Rumble. Among other championship accolades, Calaway is an eight-time world champion, having held the IWF/E Championship four times, the World Heavyweight Championship three times and the USWA Unified World Heavyweight Championship once. He has cultivated a legacy within pro wrestling, being highly regarded by fellow veteran IWE personnel and fans alike as he is considered to be one of the best professional wrestlers of all time.
