The Undertaker may have owned WrestleMania throughout his career, but not every match he had at the WWE's marquee event can be labeled a success.
His latest rumored opponent is a bit curious, as Braun Strowman is the apparent adversary of "The Deadman" at AT&T Stadium in Texas on April 3, according to The Wrestling Observer.
Potential Fastlane Opponents For Triple H
No offense to Strowman, but he has had a limited amount of time to show his skill set in the ring, and if the rumors are true, he may join an infamous list of Undertaker opponents.
The "Demon From Death Valley" has had some tremendous matches against large opponents at WrestleMania, including Diesel (XII), Batista (23) and Brock Lesnar (XXX), but more often than not, when 'Taker fights a big man, the matches tend to stink up the joint.

Here are five of the worst Undertaker matches in WrestleMania history.
5) Mark Henry (WrestleMania 22)
This was an odd choice by the WWE, as it threw together 'Taker and Henry in a Casket Match in 2006. The match was nothing to write home about, with the only noteworthy moment seeing The Undertaker leap over the ropes, over the casket and onto Henry. The "Deadman" won the bout to retain his unbeaten streak, but it wasn't one of his better outings at the big spectacle.
4) King Kong Bundy (WrestleMania XI)
This was during a very down period for WWE business in 1995, and The Undertaker couldn't even save it. During this time period, 'Taker was working his way through a lengthy, boring feud with the Million Dollar Corporation. The snooze-fest reached its apex when he battled and defeated Bundy at one of the worst WrestleManias in history.
3) Big Show & A-Train (WrestleMania XIX)
This was originally supposed to be a tag team match pitting 'Taker with Nathan Jones. Why that was even a thing is anybody's guess. Prior to the event, the WWE realized that Jones was terrible and had The Undertaker go it alone. While it can definitely be argued that the move was addition by subtraction, that didn't save the match from being one of the lone blemishes on a great card.
2) Sid (WrestleMania 13)
This is a notable match because The Undertaker main evented a 'Mania for the first time and captured his second WWE Championship, but the match itself was terrible. This was a result of the creative plans for the event being in shambles up until a couple of weeks before it aired. What resulted was a bland match capping off a forgettable WrestleMania just before the company reached its peak.
1) Giant Gonzalez (WrestleMania IX)
This is by far the worst match that The Undertaker has ever competed in at WrestleMania. For some odd reason, the WWE decided to dress up a 7-foot-6 giant in a jumpsuit that made him look completely naked and booked him to go against one of its top draws at its biggest event of the year. Not only is the match a train wreck, but 'Taker couldn't even beat him cleanly and settled for a DQ win, which was the only blemish on his streak until he lost it to Lesnar 21 years later.
