Full Sara Calaway Biography
As of 2007, Calaway is one of the senior performers in WWE, having joined in 1990. He is one of only two wrestlers to have appeared on the very first episode of RAW who are still with the company today. The other is Shawn Michaels.
Mark Calaway made his debut in 1984 in Dallas, Texas based World Class Championship Wrestling (WCCW) under the ring name Texas Red. He wrestled his first match against Bruiser Brody. In 1988, he left WCCW and wrestled for several territories under several gimmicks including the United States Wrestling Association where he won the USWA Unified World Heavyweight Championship, his first professional wrestling title on April 1, 1989 from Jerry "The King" Lawler.
His first mainstream exposure was in World Championship Wrestling (WCW). While there, he was known as "Mean" Mark Callous and wrestled as part of the Skyscrapers tag team along with "Dangerous" Dan Spivey and later as a singles wrestler. During his time in the Skyscrapers, he and Spivey were involved in a feud with the Road Warriors, but Spivey left before the feud came to an end. Calaway then took on the guidance of Paul E. Dangerously and muscled his way through Brian Pillman and Johnny Ace. His most famous match in WCW was against Lex Luger for the NWA United States Championship at 1990 Great American Bash, which he lost when Luger pinned him after a clothesline. Despite his strong showing against Lex Luger, WCW declined to renew Calaway's contract, and he signed with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in late October 1990. During that time, he also toured New Japan Pro Wrestling.
After Paul Bearer's betrayal, the Undertaker took his storyline rivalry with Mankind to a new level again, resulting in a Buried Alive Match at In Your House 11: Buried Alive. Undertaker won the match after a Chokeslam into the open grave, but after interference from The Executioner, as well as the help of several other superstars, The Undertaker was ultimately "Buried Alive". As a result, a match was booked at the upcoming Survivor Series, again pitting the Undertaker against Mankind, with a unique stipulation. Hanging 20 ft above the ring was Paul Bearer, enclosed in a steel cage. If Undertaker won the match, he would be able to get his hands on Paul Bearer. Even though Undertaker won the match, interference from The Executioner enabled Paul Bearer to escape the Undertaker's clutches.
The Undertaker then shifted feuds and briefly turned his attention to The Executioner, who, in storylines, had become a thorn in his side since his arrival. At the following Pay-Per-View, the Undertaker went over the masked Executioner. Towards the end of 1996, the Undertaker began feuding with another of Paul Bearer's minions, Vader, culminating in a job to Vader at the Royal Rumble after interference from Paul Bearer. After this loss, the Undertaker's character began to focus his attention on the WWF Championship.
In 2001, Undertaker reunited with Kane as the Brothers of Destruction in a storyline for the WWF Tag Team Championship once again. They received a shot at the Tag Titles at No Way Out 2001, facing Edge and Christian and then-champions the Dudley Boyz in a Tables Match. The Brothers of Destruction dominated almost the entire match but were not the winners.
As a wedding gift to Sara, Calaway had his wife's name tattooed onto his throat and has said this is the most painful tattoo he has ever had. In 2007, this tattoo started being removed from all WWE photos showing Undertaker's throat, most notably on the cover of the November issue of WWE Magazine and in pictures throughout. Undertaker has several other tattoos: a gravedigger, which he refers to as "Original Deadman", skulls, a castle, and a wizard. When talking about his body art, he has said that there is kind of a medieval thing going-on on his arms. He also has a dancing skeleton on the back of his neck. He also has a tattoo on his stomach that says BSK Pride.
Aside from wrestling, Calaway has many hobbies and interests. He collects Harley-Davidson and West Coast Choppers motorcycles and purchased his first brand new motorcycle after defeating Hulk Hogan for the WWF Championship at the 1991 Survivor Series. Calaway has also had a custom motorcycle built for him by Jesse James, the founder of West Coast Choppers. He is a massive fan of Nick Cave and all his musical endeavors (The Birthday Party and The Bad Seeds). He also enjoys listening to bands like ZZ Top, AC/DC, Kiss, Black Sabbath, Guns N' Roses, Metallica, Iron Maiden and Black Label Society. Calaway also enjoys country music and blues music.
