Opinions on the Undertaker

Miakal

What are your opinions of The Undertaker last night and in general?

Personally, I thought he should've retired a few years ago. The guy is just as bland as bland can be.

His "biker gimmick" is a rip-off of Austin and the whole "bad guy" face persona. It's stupid. Every time he gets on the microphone you can't help but beat yourself with the remote or at the very least change the channel.

Inside the ring he is slow and pointless. He can't tell a story worth a crap and hardly ever could. What's the point in this guy?

I thought maybe some of my feelings would change after last night. Maybe with a return to his old gimmick at least he'd appear different and a little more fresh.

I'm back on the bandwagon - he's in great shape. Just needs to add more "Prince of Darkness" shit to his wardrobe, let PB do most of the talking for him, and then stomp the crap out of Benoit at the next PPV. He'll win, then Benoit will get the receipt at the next PPV.

Are you trying to say that Benoit will lose in his home town next month after just getting the belt?. He is not from Atlanta yanno lol.

Shrink the damn belt. I have to freakin side scroll to read your posts.

I break the H-Scroll w/impunity and dare someone to stop me.

I'm thinking having your posts deleted will be pretty easy.

I think he should come out riding a horse instead of his motorcycle. He looks like something you would see in a western movie. Until he removes his hat and coat. Then he just looks like the American Badass with long hair. If they chage his attire it could work. They should also use his ministry music or something new

Legato

No and no. He had a cowboy hat before, and as Shango said, the character was based on the original old west undertakers.

Old school music has to stay - the Ministry music will just remind everyone of how stupid and over the top the character eventually got.

Listen, Taker is the best big man in the business right now and he's probably on his last run with the WWE. Embrace the nostalgia and enjoy the character before your nitpicking causes you to miss one of the greatest gimmick comebacks in the history of the business.

I don't know about his return yet because I haven't seen it. But to comment on his character, even though he has flip flopped, his character has always been within his limits. Not great on the mic, not the best in ring, but his character has always reflected this. Either as a no sell big man or a semi-street fighting biker. The biggest thing about Taker is his persona. All the extra carriculars that go with him make him what he is. The bike, the music, the outfits (dead man eras), the lighting and lightning and the old eyes he used to throw at us when he's pin his opponents. He is just a prime example of a fading existence of CHARACTERS. Some people are remembered for their in ring ability or mic spots, but it's the characters that stick with us, they evoke emotion not just curiosity.

Always have been and always will be a Taker fan. That's just my take on him.

For those who hated the return of Undertaker needs to relax.

The new version of the Undertaker is just a mix of L.O.D. and A.B.A (American Bad Ass). You have to realize that every single version of the Undertaker is different. Since A.B.A version of Undertaker was buried, it does make sense to have a mix of both after rising from the grave.

I love the Undertaker, always been a fan.

The Undertaker was seriously badass on Smackdown tonight. I thought he looked awesome, i like how he has morphed the biker and L.O.D. He just needs to keep growing out the hair.
