Overview: Theundertaker.net was truely the place if you wanted to mingle with fellow undertaker fans/cotns. The website was actually a promotion off of Chaos! Comic's "The Undertaker: Comic book."

Chaos! Comics was a comic book publisher that operated from 1994 until 2002, mostly focusing on horror comics. Their titles included Lady Death, Purgatori, Evil Ernie, Chastity, Jade, Bad Kitty, and Lady Demon. Chaos! creators included Brian Pulido, Steven Hughes, Al Rio, Mike Flippin, Justiniano, and Hart D. Fisher. Chaos also published licensed comics for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and several bands.

A short series of comic books based on The Undertaker character were published monthly by Chaos! Comics between February 1999 and January 2000. All ten issues were written by Beau Smith, with art by Manny Clark. It focused mostly on his kayfabe background and also featured such characters as Paul Bearer, Mankind and the Undertaker's half-brother Kane. The series has been collected into a number of trade paperbacks published by Titan Books between 2000 and 2001, titled WWF Presents: Undertaker.

The comics was writen by Beau Smith with art by Manny Clark. It book mainly focused on the Undertaker during the time upon which Kane came to the WWE (then WWF). By this time Paul Bearer had turned his back on the Undertaker and was trying his hardest to eliminate him. The book only featured a brief appearance of Kane in which he spoke just once.

The main villain the Undertaker faced was The Embalmer, who's plan was to take control of Hell.

TheUndertaker.net (sometimes abbreviated as "UT.net"... even though that isn't an actual website) site itself was created from 1998 to promote the Undertaker comic book, but instead, the site became a residence for many Undertaker fans (often called Creatures of the Night... or COTN for short).

However, the site slowly degraded over the years untill the site was abandoned by Chaos! Comics (the same time when they went defunct). The message board was still usable by posting your entire message in the subject header. The last existence of TheUndertaker.net was in 2001. Afterwards, the site was bought up by porn and spam bots.

Then in 2015, TheUndertaker.net was available and was purchased by one of the original forum posters on the old site. The site has been rebuilt and promoted as a resource for Undertaker fans and also honoring a piece of history often left forgotten in the tale of the Deadman.

TheUndertaker.net also provided the launching pad for the first ever Creature of the Night E-Fed: CreatureWrestling.com

It was here that the first documented online e-wrestling experience from cotns was made. The game was some fun experiment to pass the time when the Undertaker was not wrestling, and when the Undertaker eventually did return to WWF- the posters butted out the people that where still playing this RP fantasy. One of the biggest supporters of the RP cotn fantasy was Darkspade- and he ambitiously moved the small game into an eventual E-Fed. This genre would have been vaporated if it wasn't for the CWF (Creature Wrestling Federation). It is ironic that the RP game that cotn posters did to pass the time became one of the last surviving elements which has kept some cotn posters together today.

It is also noted that the FIRST Cotn champion was: Darkhag. She was named the champion by the person who later won her in an RP re-match which turned the title into the CWF Heavyweight Champion. Over the years, this title has evolved into what is known today as: "The Absolute Undisputed Creature Wrestling Championship."
