Am I the only one that seriously misses the American Badass gimmick?
I think this gimmick would be SOOO perfect for this new era.

Yeah he was awesome I never understood why at the time people were wanting him to turn back into the dead man. The American Bad Ass had far more character since his return every single Taker feud has been the same forumla with little tweeks here and there.
Heel will make name for him self by taking out Taker Taker dissapears for a couple of weeks with heel braging baout getting rid of Taker Taker gets revenge with spooky supernatural events PPV gimmick match that Taker wins
His in ring work IMO has never been better than it has the last few years and the man is in amazing shape. But the storylines are just boring as hell. With The American Bad Ass he could cut a good promo he would tell someone he would kick there ass and if they didn't say thank you he would do it again.

I missed heel badass with the short hair. I can just imagine The Undertaker beating some respect into John Cena

Long haired Biker Taker with Kid Rock/Limp Bizkit theme wasn't anything special. The "You're Gonna Pay" full and instrumental Taker was kickass.

I personally hated redneck 'Taker. He sounded like an old man complaining about kids being on his yard. MMA Phenom 'Taker is about a million times better than Brawler Biker 'Taker, too.

He did some good stuff during that time and I think it worked really well for the period. But I wouldn't want to see him go back to that so close to the end of his career.
I like what he's doing now and doubt we'll see any big changes before he hangs it up.

This thread just reminded me that the ladder match between ABA and Jeff Hardy is one of my favorite matches.

ABA was cool when it first debuted but it got old fast and lasted far too long.

I always enjoyed American Badass Undertaker, mostly because it was still a way for him to be the Undertaker, but a more casual and real version. His original 2000 look with the long hair, denim vest, and trenchcoat had to be my favorite for the gimmick.

it was enjoyable, but it is meant for the past. taker is in the last chapter of his career and should stay in his original character for the remaining time of it.
