The Undertaker, played by Mark Calaway, debuted in WWE in 1990 and became famous as The Deadman, a mortician themed character built around darkness, slow entrances and rest in peace imagery. His entrance has long opened with a single funeral bell toll before the lights go out and his theme begins, making that gong one of wrestling's most recognisable audio cues. Fans have carried it online as a shorthand for dread, finality and a powerful arrival, using it in edits far beyond wrestling itself.
