Did The Undertaker have powers or was he just paying off the sound and lights guys?
And if he was just paying off techies to turn the lights on and off, what was all that Ministry shit? Was Mideon just a big dumb mark who let this fat biker and his fatter friend Paul convince him he was all dark magic and shit?

I think there was part of that Ministry angle where they implied that Taker was buying way too much into his character and being super kayfabe about it. |

So, you're saying that Mideon's just a big f***ing idiot? |

Yea, there was that segment where someone was even calling him "Mark" and saying he's was getting to obsessed with the Undertaker persona (they didn't call it that, but that's what was implied). |

Vince even referred to him as "Mark". Christ, that entire angle sucked. |

I think he was kayfabe undead and had powers for most of his run. The Attitude Era/ Ministry/biker era is where it gets more confusing.

I watched a Heat match the other day to see Dr. Death, it was against Tiger Ali Singh (what a match 🥴) and the announcers were talking about the Undertaker angle and I’m pretty sure they flat out called it the Undertaker character. Bro’ ing intensifies, bro. |

This is entirely my head cannon but I like to think that his parents and maybe Paul as well dabbled in the dark arts/witchcraft and were heavily influenced by spirits/ghosts/demons and that influence was passed on into Undertaker and Kane. So, yes, they had powers through the spirit realm. Like they're basically warlocks.
Also in my head cannon, the ashes in the urn were actually his parents and their dark spirits were giving him power.

Everyone is missing the point! This guy's an idiot! "Tonight, Kane, Mideon is going to give you the beating of your life." Dunno why anyone complained. That ppv was worth spending twenty quid on the video just for that comedy classic! Spoiler alert - Mideon didn't in fact give Kane a beating. |

Bro’ ing intensifies, bro. Honestly, as much as I hate Russo's bullshit this is the one time I really think the concept had legs. Taker had already done a promo a year earlier "out of character" so they had established that the act was mind games as part of a legitimate sport, and "performer losing themselves in an evil character for their own ends" is a time-honored trope. The issue was that, like everything else Russo did, there was absolutely nothing planned besides "Undertaker actually thinks he's an undead magic zombie" so the angle became what it became. |
