After losing to Lesnar last year and also coming back this time. Do you think it would be good for his final run to be as American Bad Ass Taker' ?

From my standpoint, yes.
As I mentioned in a different thread, he looks like ABA Taker, he acts like ABA Taker, he might as well be ABA Taker.
Maybe it's just me, but for a dead guy who's supposed to be "immortal", he's looking a little haggard and old. I just can't take the gimmick seriously anymore. This is not The Undertaker of old.
But, if this is indeed his final run, I can't imagine there being any way he'd go out using his secondary gimmick.

It would be pretty cool to see, but it probably won't happen. He then said that he was now ''a cold-hearted, remorseless man.'' Why would he go back to be ''human'' and contradict himself? But I think it would be cool to see.

Absolutely not. Coming out to rock music with a motorcycle or wearing a bandana would be positively ridiculous. People may like or dislike the Deadman character I get that. There are those that need the utmost "realism" and they don't do "characters" such as these but the thing is The Deadman is a legacy and the story of Taker and Brock is like Batman vs. Bane. Undertaker IS old... he's a battle tested, weary warrior reaper with gravel in his throat and lines on his face and a forehead covered in scars from the hundreds of times he's bladed. He's got this unique set of circumstances that nobody on the roster has and probably will ever have at this point. With being so close to the end, you end the saga the way it should be with the reaper. Not the time to be messing with things now.

Well it would be pretty dumb seeing as he already returned as the Deadman. If he switched randomly it would be pretty odd.

as the actual aba? nah. as a modern undertaker showing his age and less supernatural stuff? sure, and we're essentially getting that as it is.

I don't think so. I can't see his last run being anything other than the Deadman gimmick. That is of course if this is his last run.

Maybe he could do that after his retirement... On a random "Old School" RAW just have a random apperance with that Gimmick.

Yes. The old bad ass biker that still has some gas in the tank (pun intended) is far more believable at this point than the dead man that looks like he is decaying.

good god no, "ABA" Undertaker was the least entertaining part of his career. it worked for the TIME, but would be terrible now.
so a dead guy, disappears and returns as a biker with long hair, then short hair, then he disappears again and comes back as the dead guy, but with biker pants & gloves.
The entire idea behind The Undertaker is everything he's been....a guy with a long trench coat and big hat who scares the chit outta people. not a biker guy. People want to hear the gong, they want the lights out, the smoke, the lightning, they want the Tombstone and the mystique. If he's gonna retire soon he should be retiring as the Dead Man.

Really no need for it now.
It seems pretty clear this is the last run. I'll be surprised if he wrestles again after next year's Mania.

Hell no. I want to see that even less than I wanna see Taker vs. Brock at SummerSlam.

He should just go full blown Sons of Anarchy at this stage and have Kane come out in ABA attire as well and create a biker gang.

Nope. Outside his little heel run, the American Badass sucked ass. Undertaker is the  ing Undertaker because he got over the gimmick of the deadman. That's what people want and eat up. Not old biker man, "Get out of my yard ya kids" Undertaker. |
