Tombstone: The History of The Undertaker is a DVD produced by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), looking back at the career of The Undertaker from the 1990 Survivor Series all the way to his match at WrestleMania XX against Kane.
It was announced that with approximately 217,000 copies sold, it has become WWE's highest selling non-PPV DVD.
The DVD shows 19 of The Undertaker's most famous matches (with two bonus matches). Unlike other WWE DVDs, the DVD does not feature interviews, or retrospects by The Undertaker himself. It just shows the matches with a short narration by a deep-voiced narrator that is unidentified on the DVD, however the narrator was Gene Okerlund. This was done to protect kayfabe, as Undertaker had returned to his mysterious "dead man" character and he would have seemed too mortal if the DVD had featured anything that talked about his life.
This led to stern complaints from fans, not just for being a throwback to the days of old school kayfabe WWF Video releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but also the fact the DVD ends at WrestleMania XX and does not once cover the Undertaker's feud and match with Randy Orton at WrestleMania 21, despite Orton and the event making small cameos on Disc 3.
