The WWE Thread

[karamazov80]

My friend and I used to laugh our asses off everytime we saw this:

“And if I didn’t perform at WrestleMania, in some strange, weird way, I’d feel like I was letting Vince McMahon down. I’ve been in the WWE for so long, and he’s done so much for me.”

"Plus, I like getting a couple million bucks for a couple days' work."

This was the worst theme for a legend like The Undertaker.

A friend of mine, who I'll be heading to Wrestlemania with, thinks the appearance of Kid Rock means Biker Taker may appear. We both hope that this is not the case

To be fair, a few weeks ago it was a bit tongue in cheek. But i am kind of expecting it to be the case now.

Undertaker Retired his coat and hat, Cena has been calling out " The Man " Undertaker. Granted we saw Undertaker at Raw 25, but that also seemed like a retirement " kind of " speech.

And then the Kid Rock thing came up. At first it was a little jokey, but i think the fact Undertaker hasnt done anything at all can only be put down the fact they are wanting to make a shock "return". If you re-debut the american badass on tv then you have already lost your holy **** moment. Like Finn Balor debuting as the Demon before Summerslam.

Honestly, i thought American Badass was ok. I preferred " Big Evil ". But The dead man gimmick has meant nothing since the 2nd Triple H fight when he went nuts and shaved himself a mohawk and stole Shinocks robe.

Good point there. Also his return in 2000 as 'The American Badass' at Judgment Day PPV with Kid Rock theme. That was a hell of a surprise that nobody thought they could see The Undertaker this way. I guess WWE is trying to go back in time when the internet wasn't all spoilers and predictions like nowadays.

My top Undertaker gimmicks/looks.

1. 2006- 2009 - He was jacked and cut....best shape of his career.

2. Purple Gloves

3. Late 90's with the goatee. He was huge.

4. Original American Badass with long hair.


Worst

1. Mohawk fat Taker

2. Big Evil - short hair and out of shape Taker

3. the last 8 years

Goosebumps. I remember watching that live on TV, the crowd went ****ing nuts. This has to be one of the biggest pops ever (HHH return may beat it in terms of loudness though).

I think Taker needs to hang 'em up for good though.

I'd welcome the return of ABA Undertaker. Considering Kid Rock's HoF induction and the retirement of Taker's "classic" getup last year, I'm inclined to think it'll happen. I'd rather he retired but if he returns as ABA, at least it'll be something different.

I'm sick of his long-ass, plodding entrance to the ring.

I think this one of the most hype moments in WWE for me. I used to watch it over and over. The American Badass was hype back in the day.

 

[user 62921]

Undertaker circa 1998-1999 with The Ministry of Darkness will always be my favourite. That music, too.

IMO, this one kind of ruined The Undertaker's gimmick.
Kidnapping ladies and crossing souls.
Not to mention the bizarre HiaC match at WM against Bossman with the weird ending!

I ate that stuff up as a kid. It was creative!

This is one Taker's funniest moments. Back when Austin and HHH were a heel team against him in 2001 or so.



HHH tried to get the **** up out of there quick. I don't blame him.

 

[Grenouille]

I don't know who Braun's partner will be tomorrow. I wouldn't be against it being the kid that won the Warrior award last night. He has more charisma than 80% of the current roster.

So, Mark Henry pleads Owen Hart's widow last night at the HoF 2018 ceremony to allow and let him join the HoF?!

Mark Henry definitely had the best acceptance speech last night. He got really choked up talking about Owen. I doubt highly that Owen's widow will ever allow his enshrinement though. She's been very clear about how she feels about the business.

Most definitely. Best speech last night for sure.
I guess that day of OH being an inductee will never see the light.

 

[user 62921]

I agree that Mark Henry's speech was the best of the night. It's just a shame that they put him on so late; I was ready for bed by the time Hillbilly Jim had finished his.

And the pyrotechnics is back again for WM 34.

Shawn Michaels cut his hair.
