Forgot his brief heel run in 2015. He returned as a heel in 2015 out of spite as a result of "The Streak" being broken. He interfered in the Brock Lesnar-Seth Rollins match and kicked Lesnar low as half the crowd cheered then booed. This happened quite often where Taker would "go low" to Lesnar, then certified it at SummerSlam after Undertaker "tapping but the ref didn't see it", causing the ref to be distracted so Taker could then hit another "Low Blow" and "defeat" Lesnar by submission. His heel run would continue with Taker briefly seemed like Vince's "hired gun" to take out Shane. Then he turned face again shortly after when he put his hands on Vince.

His nicknames need to be updated. “The Man from the Dark Side”, “The Lord of Darkness”, “The American Badass” and “The Conscience of the WWE” should be added. Also, I don’t see the reference to the interview segment “The Funeral Parlor” (1991-1992).
