The Undertaker's documentary - ‘The Last Ride’ - took WWE fans back into the golden era of the ’90s when The Undertaker was considered an enigma in the wrestling community. The Undertaker is arguably one of the greatest wrestlers in WWE history. However, The Undertaker is no longer a consistent face in the ongoing WWE storylines but continues to make appearances at special events like WrestleMania. A number of WWE fans are still of the opinion that The Undertaker from the late ’90s was the all-time elite. One such occasion was on show when The Undertaker and The Rock teamed up to sweep away the entire roster of WWE SmackDown.
