The Undertaker's character has gone through multiple changes throughout his career. From his debut in 1990 until 1999, Undertaker's character was that of "the Deadman" (with subtle changes throughout). In May of 2000, The Undertaker returned as the "American Badass," a more realistic, biker character. A heel turn in 2002 saw this persona become "Big Evil" with the biker persona enhanced with monster heel actions. After another hiatus following being "buried alive" by Kane in 2003, Undertaker returned to his original "Deadman" gimmick at WrestleMania XX to face Kane. Undertaker presently maintains this gimmick.
