Professional wrestling style and persona (Taker)

The original Deadman character depicted him as a Western mortician dressed in a trench coat, gray-striped tie and gray-ringed, black stetson hat with gray gloves and boot spats. He was portrayed as impervious to pain, something accomplished by Calaway not selling his opponents' attacks. He was managed by Paul Bearer, who used an urn to give Undertaker supernatural powers. During his early years, he used the Funeral March by Chopin as his entrance theme. WWF composer Jim Johnson changed the Chopin march to create a new theme, the Graveyard Symphony.[1]

When he made his return in 2000, he abandoned the somber mortician-themed attires, his funeral dirge ring music, allusions to the supernatural and the accompanying morbid theatrics. In place of this, he took on a biker identity, riding to the ring on a motorcycle and wearing sunglasses and bandanas to the ring. His entrance music was replaced with popular rock songs of the time, like Limp Bizkit's "Rollin' (Air Raid Vehicle)" and Kid Rock's "American Bad Ass" (from which the name of The Undertaker's new gimmick originated), though it was accompanied by the characteristic opening bell of The Undertaker's original theme.

In 2020, Undertaker started a feud with AJ Styles. Styles claimed that, in the last months, Undertaker lost his mystique because he broke kayfabe in social media and shoot interviews. At WrestleMania 36, Undertaker presented a new character called "The Unholy Trinity", a mix of the supernatural, the American Bad Ass characters and the real-life person.[2]

Profesional wrestling persona (Bordeaux)

Bordeaux is known for her sexualized character, since her vision is to "make wrestling sexy again".[3] Known as The Hot Smoke, she has been critiziced for her character after her Impact Wrestling debut. Chihaia explained that a little bit of sensuality in her character is positive, since the lack of sensuality is a limit for women and they follow a code of dress.[4][5] When she signed a contract with WWE, she called herself "a Super Diva".[6] Diva is the term used by WWE for years to call their female talent, usually used as eye-candy during the Attitude Era.

Style (Mr Perfect)

Hennig has been described as one of the best wrestlers in history.[7][8][9][10] He is recognized for his technichal skills.[11][12]

Several wrestlers has described Hennig as one of his favourites wrestler or an inspiration.[13][14]

Style (Cody Rhodes)

He became Dashing. Then, Undashing.

Rhodes didn't wanted to use his father moves, like the bionic elbow.[15] He also uses the Alabama Slam, a move used by his former tag team partner Hoardcore Holly.[16]

Gail Kim

Kim has been praised as one of the best female wrestlers in history.[17] His work in TNA during the 2007 with Awesome Kong has been called an important breaking point for women's wrestling in North America.[18][19]

Balor

After working under his real name, Devitt changed his ringname to Prince Devitt when he went to New Japan Pro Wrestling because nobody Japanese could pronounce his actual name. He was originally going to be called King David until people started questioning why the 24-year-old would be a king already. Eventually, Simon Inoki came up with the name Prince Devitt, which Devitt himself also preferred.[24] During his time in Japan, Devitt started to use body paint during some matches.[25] used bodypaint for big matches. When Bàlor returned to NXT on 2020, he said he wouldn't use the Demon persona too often, since using it too much in WWE lost the element of surprise.[26] When he signed with WWE, Devitt worked under two characters: Finn Bálor (named after the legendary Hunter Fionn mac Cumhaill and the Gaelic word for Demon King, Bálor[27]) and The Demon King, sometimes called The Demon, a darker and more aggressive alter ego[28][29][30] After Devit return to NXT in 2019, he said he will use less The Demon character.

Devitt uses a Double Foot Stomp as a finisher[31], named "Coup de Grace".[32] Devitt also uses a lifting single underhook DDT (named Bloody Sunday in Japan and 1916 in WWE) as a finisher.[33][34]
