      Learn the Tombstone Piledriver. While facing opponent, lean down and reach your strong arm in between his legs. Put your other arm over his shoulder (if your right arm is between his legs, then your other arm should be over his right shoulder). Use your arm to lift your opponent and lay him across your shoulder (the shoulder on the same side as the arm you put between your opponent's legs. Your opponent should be in the position pictured. Lower your opponent so that your arms are around his hips or waist. His head should be in between and above your knees. Drop to your knees. Ensure your opponent's head is above your knees, your opponent's head should not contact the mat when you drop. View "Chokeslam and Tombstone" below.

      Learn the chokeslam. This is the simplest of Undertaker's moves. Grip your opponent by the neck. Do not choke him. Your hand should be right below his jawline. Put his arm onto your shoulder. The arm you put on your shoulder should be the arm closest to you (his right arm if you're using your right hand to chokeslam, and vice-versa). Grip onto your opponent's pants or trunks with your free hand. Tug on the pants/trunks to let your opponent know you're about to perform the move. This is your opponent's signal to jump a little into the air. Lift your opponent as he leaps. This part should be performed so that it appears you're doing all of the lifting. Place your free hand on your opponent's lower back once he is airborne. This is to guide your opponent. Make sure your opponent lands flat on their back. View "Chokeslam and Tombstone" below.

      Learn the Last Ride. To do this move, your opponent will need to be bent over. Accomplish this by kicking your opponent in the stomach, or just by bending him over. Place your opponent's head in between your legs. Wrap your arms around your opponent's stomach and lift up. Use the momentum to flip your opponent right side up. Your opponent should now be sitting up with his legs over your shoulders. His pelvic area will be in your face at this point. He should be sitting the wrong way on your shoulders. Grab your opponent's outer thighs (it helps if your opponent is wearing trunks or pants) and lift him as high as you can, while maintaining his sitting position. Slam your opponent onto their back on the mat. Keep your back straight and your knees bent while doing this. View "Last Ride" below.

      Learn the gogoplata. This is an actual martial arts move. This is how the Undertaker performs his version of the gogoplata (as seen on the "Gogoplata" link below). Have your opponent laying on his back. Step to your opponent's left side and grab his left hand with your left hand. Step over his arm with your left leg. Your left foot should now be above his head. Wrap your right leg around your opponent's arm (the one you're holding). Bend your knee and press the front of your lower leg against your opponent's neck while falling back. Hold onto your opponent's arm this whole time and use this leverage to pull your opponent with you as you fall back. Your opponent should now be above you. Use your opponent's arm to hold him in position. While maintaining the arm hold, wrap your left leg around your right ankle. Your right ankle should now be in the crook of your left knee. Once this position is complete and your opponent's neck is pressed against your shinbone, reach up with both hands and grasp the back of your opponent's head. Pull your opponent's head so that his throat is continually pressed against your shinbone. When your opponent taps, release immediately.

      Learn the triangle choke. It is slightly reminiscent of the gogoplata. You should be on your back for this move. Your opponent should be attempting to get on top of you. Grab your opponent's right arm and pull it between your legs with your opponent's head. Bend your right leg so that your opponent's head and right arm are wrapped up with your leg. Bring your left leg up and over your right ankle. Your right ankle should now be in the crook of your left leg. Keep your legs locked and squeeze. You can pull on your opponent's arm for a quicker tapout. See "Triangle Choke" below to get a better idea.
