What can I say about the Undertaker?
The Phenom, the Deadman, Texas Red.
One half of the Brothers of Destruction with Kane.
He has always been one of my favorite wrestlers because he combines showmanship with wrestling skill.
He gives his all in that wrestling ring.
For an example, look no further than his legendary Hell in a Cell match with Mankind.
Undefeated in Wrestlemania.
The first winner of the Royal Rumble.
He's held the USWA Unified World Heavyweight Championship, the WCWA Texas Heavyweight Championship, the WCW Tag Team Championship (with Kane), the WWF/WWE Championship (4 times), the WWF Hardcore Championship, the World Heavyweight Championship (2 times) and the WWF Tag Team Championship (6 times).
At Wrestlemania he has defeated Jimmy Snuka, Jake Roberts, Giant Gonzales, King Kong Bundy, Diesel , Sycho Sid, Kane , The Big Boss Man, Triple H, Ric Flair, The Big Show and A-Train in a handicap match, Kane, Randy Orton, Mark Henry, Batista and Edge.
And now leading into this years Wrestlemania, will his winning streak be broken?
I hope not, I'd like to see The Deadman retire undefeated.

Ron Killings / R-Truth
Ron Killings was born on January 19, 1972 in Atlanta Georgia (but grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina).
Ron currently works for the WWE on SmackDown! under the ring name R-Truth.
But before that, he wrestled for TNA as Ron "the Truth" Killings.
Ron was trained by "The Raging Bull" Manny Fernandez.
Besides WWE and TNA he has worked for Xtreme Pro Wrestling, Cyberspace Wrestling Federation, Memphis Championship Wrestling and NWA Wildside.
In TNA he held the NWA World Heavyweight Championship twice, the NWA World Tag Team Championship twice (once with Konnan and once with B.G. James) and he held the TNA World Tag Team Championship with Pacman Jones.
Back in the WWF he was the WWF Hardcore Champion twice.
But then again I think everyone was at one time or another.

DH Smith
Wow...you talk about a WWE Superstar with a pedigree, check out DH Smith.
DH was born Harry Smith on August 2, 1985 in Calgary, Alberta.
In case you're wondering, the D in DH stands for his father Davey Boy Smith, and the H stands for his uncle Bruce Hart.
This young man started his wrestling training at the age of eight, and actually made his pro wrestling debut at the age of ten!
Yes, that's right, ten.
He teamed up with his cousin Ted Annis against TJ Wilson and Andrew Picarnia at a WWF house show in Calgary.
His "official" in ring debut wasn't until the ripe old age of 15 though.
The WWE tried to snag him in 2004, but Harry turned them down, wanting to attend college and wrestle in Japan first before signing.
Harry spent some time in Japan, and later at the induction of Bret Hart into the WWE Hall of Fame, he met with WWE executives and signed a developmental contract with on April 4, 2006.
He is currently in FCW working on his in ring skills and personality.

WWE Diva Milena Roucka / Rosa Mendez
Milena Roucka was born Milena Leticia Roucka on October 25, 1979 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
You know I'm just not gonna question why all these beautiful women keep coming from Canada.
I'm just gonna accept it.
Anyway.....Milena started with the WWE in the 2006 Diva Search Contest. She came in fourth, but was given a WWE developmental contract anyway.
She started out in Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW).
Her first real in ring action was an eight woman tag team match in which she teamed up with Beth Phoenix, Katie Lea and Melody against ODB, Serena, Victoria Crawford, and Maryse.
In September of 2007, Milena won a 6 woman divas match to capture the OVW Women's Championship.
She lost the title later to Katie Lea and when the WWE ended their relationship with OVW, she moved on to Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW).
In FCW she had several matches against The Bella Twins, Alicia Fox, Wesley Holiday, Miss Angela (Angela Fong), Tiffany, Jenny Cash, and Veronica Blaze.
Finally, she made her first appearance on the November 24, 2008 Monday Night Raw.
She appeared as a fan now named Rosa Mendez.
I imagine the name change was because the already had a "Melina".
Rosa is doing a Beth Phoenix's Greatest fan gimmick, and I wonder if the WWE isn't traveling back down the Trish Stratus / Mickie James road.
You have to give this tomboy turned model turned wrestler credit. She's hung in there for almost 3 years and even held a title.
She's not only beautiful, she's tough.

Lilian Garcia
Okay she's not a wrestler.
But what would Monday Night Raw be without Lilian Garcia?
Lilian made her debut on an episode of Raw is War back on August 23, 1999.
10 years ago?
Really?
Before she got into the WWE, she was a top ten finalist in the Miss South Carolina beauty pageant, one half of a popular morning show on radio station WYYS,"YES 97" in Colombia SC, a VJ in Atlanta, Georgia and she has been a singer since the age of five.
She even appeared in a movie with Robby Benson and Burt Reynolds called "Modern Love" before she got into the WWE.
You know Lilian was born in Madrid Spain in 1966, and Kane was born in Madrid Spain in 1967.
Wouldn't it be cool if they had known each others as kids?
