Has only missed 2 Wrestlemania's during his 15 year career,
1994 - missed the show due to personal problems outside the ring, at the time the Undertaker was killed off at the Royal Rumble 1994 by the late Yokozuna, but he returned at Summerslam 1994.
2000 - missed the show due various injuries including a torn quad, returned 2 months later in May 2000 with the new biker gimmick.
I will have to go with Wrestlemania 1998 or 2004, the matches meant the most in his career, ironically both times was in matches against Kane, in 1998 Kane was new to the WWE, everyone expected Kane to destory Undertaker, but he prevailed in the end. Last year, with Kane's new vicious streak and after he had buried the Undertaker alive months earlier at Survivor Series, Undertaker returned to defeat Kane for the second time at Wrestlemania. A lot of Taker's wrestlemania matches have been mediocre at best.
For instance his debut in 1991 was against a very much washed up Jimmy Snuka, at the time Sunka was in his last days as a full time performer and was basically being used as a jobber in the WWF.
In 1992, Jake Roberts was being heavily pushed as a Heel, but Taker dominated most of the match and afterwards Roberts disappeared from WWF and was not mentioned again until he returned in 1996, however he did have a brief run in WCW in late 1992.
In 1993, newcomer Giant Gonzales was brought in as the new big monster of the WWF, he had previously portrayed El Gigante in WCW in late 1991-early 1992, his skills were very poor, however the Undertaker feuded with him for much of 1993, he was gone shortly after Wrestlemania 9 and the feud was forgotten.
In 1995, during what many consider the WWF's worst year ever, a top new heel stable had formed in the Million Dollar Corporation, Ted Dibiase whom returned from active competition in late 1993 had returned to the WWF as a manager/commentator in 1994. He quickly started recruiting a lot of mid card talent for his new Million Dollar Corporation. Stars to join were his former tag title parter I.R.S., Nikolia Volkoff whom was basically used as a slave, similiar to Virgil's former role, and Bam Bam Bigelow and Tatanka. King Kong Bundy had returned to the WWF after being absent for about 8 years, Bundy's most notable career highlight was a match against Hulk Hogan back in 1986 at Wrestlemania 2, the match with Undertaker did not have much meaning, since Bundy was not in his prime and did not stick around long after Wrestlemania 11, the Million Dollar Corporation disbanded in late 1995.
In 1996, the Undertaker had started feuding with Diesel, however Diesel was on his way out of the WWF after accepting a deal with WCW and again nothing special came out of this match.
In 1997, Psycho Sid Vicious was WWF Champion mainly because there roster was steal vary stale after WCW had raided all of the talent. 1997 was before the monster pushes of Austin, Rock, Triple H all of whom were still in the mid-card status. Undertaker defeated Sid and captured his second WWF title, his first title reign was all the way back in 1991 in which he only held it for a brief time during his feud with Hulk Hogan. This match had meaning since it was Undertaker's first WWF title run, however Sid Vicious is one of the worst if not the worst WWF champion of all time. Again, Sid disappeared from WWF shortly thereafter and did not resurface until mid 1999 in WCW.
In 1999, the Hell in the Cell match was a squash over the Big Boss Man, Boss Man was basically being used as a bodyguard to Vince McMahon at the time and was really never pushed any during his last WWF run which stretched from 1998-2002, except for a few hardcore title runs and a feud with Big Show.
In 2001, a pretty decent match with Triple H, Triple H has held multiple World Titles by this year, as the same as Undertaker.
In 2002, Flair had just returned to WWF months earlier and was basically being used in a non-wrestling role as the Co-President of the WWF. Flair was not being pushed as a top star like he had during his 1991-1993 WWF run and all of his years in NWA/WCW.
In 2003, again a pointless match, originally the Undertaker was to team with WWE newcomer Nathan Jones, however Jones ring skills were very poor so at the last minute the match was changed to a handicapp match with Undertaker vs. Big Show and A-Train. It would have been better with just Taker vs. Show, since A-Train was thought of by many as just a jobber.
