The Bizarre One Goldust was in a feud with ‘Taker in 1996. At In Your House: Beware Of Dog Pay Per View, the two would square off in a casket match for Goldust’s Intercontinental Championship.

Toward the end of the match, ‘Taker hit the Tombstone Pile-driver on Goldust leaving fans thinking he was going to win. When he opened the casket, ‘Taker and fans were shocked to see Mankind rise from the casket applying the Mandible Claw on him. With the Mandible Claw on, Mankind put Undertaker in the casket giving Goldust the win and retain his Intercontinental Championship. Ironically, this is the only title The Undertaker needs to win to be a Grand Slam Champion.

Kama Mustafa


Kama Mustafa made his debut as part of The Million Dollar Corporation in 1995. His only feud (at this time) was with The Undertaker, which Mustafa would lose. After being sparingly used, in 1997 he joined The Nation Of Domination.

On an episode of Monday Night Raw, Mustafa teamed with N.O.D leader Faarooq to square off against Ahmed Johnson and The Undertaker. Throughout the whole match, The Phenom never stood a chance. He took a beat down from the N.O.D. he never made a tag to Ahmad Johnson! In disbelief to everyone including Jim Ross, Mustafa pinned The Undertaker.

This victory comes as a shock because The Undertaker was the World Wrestling Federation Champion at the time. After the match, Ahmed Johnson turned on The Undertaker and joined the Nation.

Rob Van Dam

In 2002, The Undertaker became the Undisputed WWE Champion after beating Hulk Hogan at Judgement Day. He had to defend his newly won title on Raw the next night against Mr. Monday Night, Rob Van Dam.

The match was supposed to happen earlier in the night on Raw. However, The Undertaker took it upon himself to attack Van Dam from behind which resulted in the match taking place later that night on Raw.

In disbelief to fans, RVD Irish whipped him into an exposed turnbuckle. RVD hit signature move “Rolling Thunder,” and get the 1-2-3.

Sadly, for RVD, owner Ric Flair came to the ring and pointed out ‘Taker’s foot was on the rope. Flair ordered the match be restarted. After, RVD fell victim to “The Last Ride” Power-bomb and ‘Taker won the title back. For that split second on a technicality, RVD got the pin fall.

Vladimir Kozlov

Many fans remember Vladimir Kozlov as being part of the oddball pairing tag team with Santino Marella. What most fans do not know is that Kozlov holds not one, but two victories over The Undertaker.

Kozlov debuted in 2008 and ran through the competition. He won his first match versus The Undertaker via disqualification when Jeff Hardy interfered and attacked Kozlov costing him the match That’s right, Kozlov holds TWO VICTORIES OVER THE DEAD MAN HIMSELF. The victories are roughly a year apart from each other and only one via pin fall.

Kozlov went one-on-one with ‘Taker again on an episode of SmackDown in 2009. Kozlov picked up the victory over him when The Undertaker went for his signature “Old School.” Kozlov knocked him off the ropes and into a power slam picking up the biggest pin fall victory of his career. What makes the match so significant is that no professional wrestler who was a heel had ever pinned The Undertaker without cheating, without interference, until Kozlov!

Jeff Hardy

Now, I know you’re thinking too,didn’t Jeff Hardy lose to him in that ladder match in 2002? Yes, The Undertaker went on to win that ladder match and infamously break kayfabe and showed Hardy respect by raising his hand after the match. Years later in 2008 on SmackDown that the two would square off again, but in an extreme rules match.

The extreme rules match saw chair shots, kendo sticks, and of course, a ladder. The match was going back and forth The Big Show interfered. The Big Show threw Hardy out of the ring then turned his focus on The Undertaker. The Big Show would choke slam him. Hardy and The Undertaker turned their attention on The Big Show. While Hardy was on his back ‘Taker hit him with a steel chair causing The Big Show to go over the top rope. While ‘Taker had his back to Hardy, The Undertaker turned into a chair shot. After Hardy would climb the ladder and hit a leg drop onto ‘Taker and the referee counting 1,2,3.

Matt Hardy

The Hardy Boyz are the only brothers in WWE history to hold pinfall victories on The Undertaker. Matt Hardy takes the second spot on this list because like any brother rivalry, Matt Hardy pinned The Undertaker first.

On an episode of SmackDown in 2002, The Undertaker wrestled Hardy in a falls count anywhere match. The entire match ‘Taker dominated Hardy. They wrestled EVERYWHERE! In the ring, in the crowd, and then made their way to the back of the arena! While in the back of the arena, WWE Champion Brock Lesnar F-5’d ‘Taker. Hardy quickly took advantage and pinned The Undertaker. Afterward, Lesnar smashed The Undertaker’s hand with a propane tank, and Hardy received a firm handshake and congratulations from Paul Heyman. Judging by the look on Hardy’s face you’d think he was already “Woken, yasssssssss.”

Maven

Maven was the first Tough Enough competition winner. This feud started in 2002 when Maven eliminated The Undertaker in The Royal Rumble.

One month later, on Smackdown, Maven asked for the Hardcore match versus The Deadman. He brutally beat Maven and Al Snow (who accompanied Maven to the ring). During the hardcore mayhem of trash cans, ring bells and a huge chokeslam, it was The Rock, a steel chair shot, and a Rock Bottom that would help Maven get the victory and win the Hardcore Title.
