In a very early shoot interview “Mean” Mark Calaway said archeology was one of his passions and had he not become a wrestler he’d have gone to school to become an archeologist.
I think prior to becoming the Undertaker Mark Calaway stumbled upon not only an ancient temple dedicated to a pre-columbian god, but the god itself.
I think he either pledged service to the god in exchange for wealth and fame or became a hapless thrall of the god.
Remember the BSK (Bone Street Krew), the “shoot” friend group Taker cultivated who all tattooed themselves with the club’s initials? I think they were worshippers too.
Is it really just a coincidence Yokozuna died within a week of getting his tattoo removed?
I think Eddy, Chris, and Bray’s Catholicism may have played a role in their choice as a sacrifice to the malevolent god.
