The Undertaker, a great wrestler from WWE.

As i've said before, time ago i watched wrestling (somethimes i still watch Undertaker's matches) and this has inspired me for Brian's story 'Rough Dreams'. Probably everithing is started from the latest Wrestlemania, where Undertaker fought against Triple H. He won but he got injured pretty badly. Now, i have to said that Undertaker seems to get injured very rarely, because he has a very high pain tolerance (apparently he has been stretched out of the ring only two times in 21 years).
Because of this, many of his fans claims that when he apparently gets injured, is just a keyfable. They claimed this nonsense even during Wrestlemania. At the end of the macht, Undertaker collapsed, and fans were worried only for his opponent Triple H, because he held his arm but he looked pretty good, compared to the Undertaker. Many wrestling fans think wrestling is fake, and everything is scripted before, so no wrestler get injured. I'm not saiyng that wrestling isn't scripted, but wrestlers can get hurt, and when you see them fall from five meters, you have to be worried. Wrestlers are prepared for this, but they may get injured. Wrestling is a very dangerous sport, and a thing i've though after having read insenstitive comments of Undertaker's fans, i've though 'How you can say you're fans of the Undertaker when you aren't at least worried for him?' but i also have though 'I wish that people undertsand that wrestling is dangerous, even if scripted!' This was the first seed for my project 'Rough Dreams', born this Christmas. I think Undertaker is very brave when he is on the ring (he's tall, but his frame is not so solid if he hadn't his muscles, and he fought greatly men that were bigger than him (like Giant Gonzales, Big Show, Van Diesel and many other) and he won those matches. Also, i've seen a lot of pictures about him when outside the ring. Fans that have been lucky to meet him, said that he doesn't act like a jerk (some famous people do: ex Hulk Hogan) and he seems pretty nice and patient.
This fanart of the Undertaker (signing an autograph) is copied from a picture i found on google. I wanted this picture as precise as possible to the original (i'm a perfectionist), but with my cartoon style. I did another fanart of the Undertaker facing Olav Sørensen, it is on Deviantart.
