It really makes a lot of sense. Kid Rock, yes, but more so because he put his hat and gloves down last year. So that was the end of the Dead Man. Now we’ll get more of Mark Calaway going out on his terms. BSK Taker, if you will. I think ABA Taker making that last ride would be pretty iconic. I think it would be pretty refreshing, honestly. I think Triple H called "dibs" on riding a motorcycle to the ring at Wrestlemania. He put that into gear last year when he wrestled Seth Rollins. I always thought at Wrestlemania that Taker should still ride a motorcycle, even as the dead man. I mean if Ghost Rider could ride a motorcycle, why not the dead man??

Yes! As far as I’m concerned The Deadman retired at Wrestlemania. Bring back The American Badass, and give us Cena Vs Taker, no gimmicks. Just the Biker Badass vs Cena. Legend vs Icon.

He still has the hood for the Deadman look. To truly retire Taker, you need to kill all the attires

If they were planning on bringing ABA Taker back, would they have had him cut that cryptic Rest In Peace promo at Raw 25? I would love to see it but I don’t think it will actually happen.

I really don't want to see aba Undertaker, I just don't see how it fits with Taker being that of a broken horse. I'd prefer he'd go out as the deadman and have more of a theatrical ending with Paul Bearer's voice calling out to him. Maybe have some thunder and fog fill up the stage as the druids come out, then he disappears into the stage.

If they do bring back ABA Taker they gotta have J.R. on commentary calling him Booger Red for ol' time sake.

I remember seeing an early 90's photo of Taker riding a motorcycle in his deadman attire.

In 1998 Taker showed a human side while he was the deadman and he cut human promos too so it's not really that unusual.
Also there is no way he will bring back an unpopular gimmick that only lasted 3 years. He debut as The Undertaker and that's how he will leave.

I would really hate to see him end his career as American Bad Ass Undertaker...The only thing I'd like is if Undertaker just made his WrestleMania entrance riding a new motorcycle and his faster Ministry theme. Sort of a way to give a nod to all of his incarnations at once as a final tribute.

Yes, please. ABA Taker is a million times better than the Deadman, especially in today's WWE.

I never thought of that, but it would actually make a lot of sense. That way the "Deadman" Taker could stay retired at WrestleMania 33, while "Biker" Taker wrestles at WrestleMania 34, giving the Undertaker one last match with the human side of his character. Everybody wins. Don’t you mean one last...ride?

I think the WWE should have Undertaker come out next wee, with hiis wife, and instead of accepting, just retire. Make Cena suffer and wait to accept the challenge.

ABA/Big Evil is still my favorite version of Taker, just a real tough guy, no magical powers needed. I will fully mark out if this happens.

No because Kid Rock should never have an influence on anything ever. Kid Rock is cool dude, nowhere near as pretentious as most celebs. I don't get the hate, he was also a very dynamic performer.

He simply cant say anything organic and or natural with that gimmick. The cartoon era is long over, the nostalgia of the gimmick in 2004 when it returned, has faded imo.

The Deadman gimmick was great nostalgia after his run as ABA but its quickly turned into anesthesia....The gimmick just doesnt have any substance with it any more. Its time to freshen up again.
