Undertaker looking alive and well

With a full decade of destruction already in the books, theUndertaker is showing no signs of slowing down, once again becomingthe No. 1 man in the WWF.

The Taker improved to 9-0 in his career at "WrestleMania" byadding HHH to a "WrestleMania" resume that includes Jimmy Snuka, JakeRoberts, Giant Gonzales, King Kong Bundy, Diesel, Sid, The Boss Manand Kane, and he finds himself the No. 1 contender for the WWF title.

The Undertaker likely will face Stone Cold for the strap at the"King of the Ring," and as seen Monday night, the current championis in no rush to come face-to-face with the man from the dark side.

Now co-holder of the tag titles with brother Kane, the Taker seemsto have a new lease on life after taking on a more real-lifecharacter-motorcycle and bandana included. Just a few months ago,many insiders felt the Undertaker's career was just about over afterdozens of injuries, but the dead man is walking tall once again.
