John from Cincinnati Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I could have sworn that thing was still making the rounds at Axxess. Turns out it's just the head. Still, on short notice, it'll do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I'm pretty sure they would've rode out the backlash. But the title sponsor of WrestleMania calling up is a much different issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm stupidly letting myself buy into the whole "now that he got his hip replaced, Taker is in the best shape he's been in years" hype. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(BP) Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I know Taker doesn't give a shit about protecting the gimmick anymore anyway, but it would make more sense that Cena was doing the shooty stuff with McCool's instagram if he's coming back with the biker gimmick. It would also be a blessing for any promo he has to cut if he doesn't have to pretend to be an undead wizard and can just talk shit about Cena's mama.

Spritenaut 32 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 American Bad Ass/Big Evil circa 2000-2003 was the only time UT was been one of my absolute favorites. Never really loved the gimmick and he was kinda spotty as a worker through the 90's. After he went back to the Deadman gimmick. I thought he was often great as a worker, but the gimmick drug it down for me. If they're going to trot him out one more time (hah, Taker will still be working WrestleMania 5 years from now), I'd prefer to see the ABA one last time. Of course, trotting out the American Bad Ass persona may just remind people WWE waited about 10 years too long to put this match together. I really need to go back and watch the WM matches with Michaels. Really dug those at the time and the build was outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(BP) Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I've sold myself on writing World's Strongest Nanny on spec to try to sell to the network. "With a little patience and a lot of glue, Uncle Mark helps the kids cover up breaking dad's favorite urn." "Hilarity ensues when the kids challenge Uncle Mark to deadlift the house and he discovers his ego is stronger than the building's foundation." "Uh oh! Uncle Mark promised the kids he'd attend the school play they're performing in, but his bowling league is in the finals the same night! Fortunately Mark's buddy Sean Waltman is in town, and with a little clever costuming they'll never know he's not there!" 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought and still do the way 'Taker post-match at WrestleMania XXIII taking off the gloves, trench coat and hat leaving them in the middle of the ring was the way to go out on. I never thought we would get Biker Taker again. This was the closest I thought we'd get to it: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I didn't like the American Bad Ass 'Taker from 2000-2001. I did however, Big Evil from 2002-2003. Undertaker's 2002 was one of his best ever years in the ring from the WrestleMania X-8 match with Ric Flair, the great Vengeance triple threat vs. The Rock vs. Kurt Angle and the classic Hell in a Cell match against Brock Lesnar at No Mercy 2002.

Also, it comes full circle with their careers since this will presumably be Taker’s last match, and American Bad Ass Taker shook Cena’s hand after his debut.

MarcosLoura Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Am I the only one that hates the idea of Taker coming back? The whole retirement thing was so well done and such a perfect moment that him coming back ruins it. I know, I know wrestling and retirements, but c'mon! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Guy Eddie Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 The era of the Undertaker I cherish most fondly. The rest of you can have your BikerTaker and deadman/biker/MMA hybrid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I was thinking about how Charlotte being the one breaking Asuka streak really sucks. But then I thought that Carmella cashing in the MITB bank briefcase and winning it from Asuka if she would won would be 100 times worse. So this situation is kind of a mess. And yes I expect Carmella to win since they can't have 2 failed attempts in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
