The Undertaker reintroduced as the ‘American Bad A**’

During the Attitude Era, WWE made a huge change in The Undertaker’s character so that the people of the 2000s could relate to him. After taking ab eight-month break from wrestling, The Undertaker was reintroduced as a wrestler who would enter the ring while riding a bike. The Undertaker biker look consisted of a black jacket, sunglasses and a bandana. He even changed his entrance music to a popular rock song at the time, a single by Kid Rock. However, the theme consisted of Undertaker’s iconic three bells at the beginning of the song.
