It was Nov. 22, 1990, when the Undertaker made his on-camera debut for the then-World Wrestling Federation at Survivor Series.

That pay-per-view event, in which he was revealed to the masses as the mystery partner on Ted DiBiase's "Million Dollar Team," had the Undertaker bury Koko B. Ware with an inverted piledriver, which Gorilla Monsoon dubbed as the "Tombstone" right on the spot.

"He just got nailed with a Tombstone!" Monsoon yelled.

"What was it?" Rowdy Roddy Piper asked Monsoon at the announce table.

"I think it's a Tombstone," Monsoon shot back, while the Undertaker crossed Koko B. Ware's arms and pinned him. "It's over for that guy."

Just like that, the Undertaker had his first Superstar fall victim to the Tombstone.

Well, being that this coming Survivor Series marks the full circle and exact date of the Undertaker's 25th anniversary in World Wrestling Entertainment, WWE unleashed a video on Tuesday, chronologically documenting each and every Tombstone that the Phenom has ever delivered. The result is three minutes and 35 seconds of pure bliss for any longtime fans of the Dead Man.

After dropping Koko B. Ware on his head, the Undertaker is seen delivering the Tombstone on everyone, from "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka to the Ultimate Warrior, "Macho Man" Randy Savage, Hulk Hogan, Bret "The Hitman" Hart, Shawn Michaels and even longtime resident WWE jobber the Brooklyn Brawler, as just a few of his many, many victims over the past 25 years.

Before ending with his last Tombstone — the one he dropped Brock Lesnar with in last month's Hell in a Cell — the Undertaker is seen dumping victims with his finishing move onto everything from a steel chair, the ringside steps, the announce table, the entrance ramp and even into a coffin (hey, HBK). You'll notice that sometimes, he even jumped up to add impact to his signature move.

The video is more than a fitting tribute for one of the greatest pro-wrestlers ever.

Enjoy it in all its glory here.
