How old is one of the greatest legends in the history of WWE in professional wrestling, The Undertaker?

The legends in the history of professional wrestling are numerous and all are memorable and revered for a variety of reasons. However, one of the most lasting figures and characters in WWE and in professional wrestling is The Undertaker. The Deadman has been a staple in WWE for over 25 years now and, even still, is still going to war in the squared circle on occasion as one of the most respected performers ever in the industry.

The Undertaker made his debut in professional wrestling all the way back in 1984 with WCCW and really started to get noticed in 1989 when he appeared as “Mean” Mark Callous in WCW before ultimately jumping ship to WWF (now WWE). After debuting with his dark, otherworldly Undertaker gimmick that has seen various iterations and versions over the past 25 years, his legend in wrestling has only grown.

Over his long tenure in WWE alone, The Undertaker has been World Heavyweight Champion three times, WWE Champion four times, WWF Hardcore Champion once, WWF Tag Team Champion six times, and won the 2007 Royal Rumble. That doesn’t even include his tremendous undefeated streak at WrestleMania that was ultimately ended by Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 30 at 21-0.

But considering that The Undertaker is still wrestling to this day, you have to wonder how old Taker is in real life (you know, seeing as how he’s probably immortal or already dead or whatever in the canon of WWE).

As it turns out, The Undertaker (real name Mark Calaway), was born on March 24, 1965, making him an even 50 years old as this gets published. It’s quite impressive to see what The Phenom is capable of as he enters his 50s in regards to being able to still go in a wrestling ring.

Who knows how much longer The Undertaker has left in his wrestling career, but you have to assume that it’s close to ending considering his age. What we do know, though, is that it’s going to be a sad day whenever he does hang up his boots.
