While the promos might be stale I really hope they stick with this gimmick instead of having him go back to the ABA. I really hated that gimmick. The only time that gimmick was entertaining was around 2002/2003 when he ditched the Limp Bizkit theme song, cut his hair and got some new ring attire.
But I love this Undertaker gimmick... this IS the Undertaker. They just need to spice things up a little bit and have him do some different things. But stick with this gimmick. His entrance is still the best entrance in wrestling.
The Undertaker hasn't been interesting since 1999. It's time for him to retire. He has the same match with everyone, something that seems to be a constant with a lot of the top tier WWE talent. I'd love nothing more then to see him wrestle until Wrestlemania and then retire, never to be seen again.
Yes, I am stupid because I don't like a wrestler that you do. Obviously someone who prefers his wrestlers not have unbelieveable gimmicks like zombies must be an idiot.

With Chuck Palumbo doing the biker gimmick, I don't think we'll see an ABA version soon (or ever). I was excited as hell for Taker when the year started and when WrestleMania rolled out, but they may have to think about how to spice up his return that the same old formula.

Dude you completely suck. Are you kidding me? They tried to improve the original, and it was cool for a little while...but goddamn! When will it end?? ABA was the best taker in my opinion. Taker should come back and say: "you stole my gimmick" to palumbo, then taker turns heel, end proceeds to beat the living hell out of Palumbo. I like it.....

No, that's not it. You don't have to like Taker, but to say that he was "never good" is a bit stupid. Love him or hate him, the man is an awesome worker.

As much as people like to say that Taker has gotten stale, you have to admit that his feuds are always the best that Smackdown has and he is one of the main superstars that people always want to see. He's a great worker, has good matches and has been involved in many memorable feuds over the years (more recently with Orton and Kennedy). Plus, his character is very unique and he always comes through whenever advertised in a big match. I also always look forward to his returns and feel like they always have a huge impact. I don't think his return will be that great this year, since its being advertised and it won't be a surprise, but I still am very anxious to see how the Deadman comes back.

HAH! Stupidest **** Ive ever read.
Thats worse than Stupid...
What's more stupid is you guys taking him seriously. If you can't tell that TRW is just trying to get under your skin, you need to take a long hard look at yourself.
I agree unfourtunately. Every fued is just based on countless Undertaker Video Packages, mind games etc, as he never reguarly appears on Smackdown. I never understand why he always says they will Rest in Peace, because he only beats them in a 1 on 1 singles Match usually...
It's such a shame he couldn't have his long last World Title run this year that he so deserved.
lol your only realizing this now? by early 2005 I was sick to death of undertaker and his stupid death storylines that storyline does nothing for a wrestler, it got orton no were

Actually, for once, I am actually serious. The fact that he is supposed to be some kind of supernatural cemetary worker ruins any actual ring skill that he might actually have for me, which is minimal in my opinion. Also, his little "old school" move is one of the dumbest moves in wrestling as well, in my opinion.

I do like Undertaker for alls he's accomplished but seriously this has to end. We all know Henry will get his ass beat but wouldnt iot be nice to see anyone even that piece of crap Mark Henry go over in a feud with Taker? Wasnt Kurt Angle the last person to get over on Taker? I mean the whole Edge thing cant be considered a feud yet at least because Undertaker wasnt really around to do anything to Edge after he dropped the belt to him. Every year at least 2 to 3 times a year we see this happen. Undertaker wins, gets attacked or defeated in a return match he dissappears for a coupl months comes back in the big scary voice :" you will rest in peace!". Match happens about 10 minutes...Undertaker wins puts his hand in the air and sticks his tongue out for like 5 minutes. Boring. Predictable. Lame. Done every year since the mid 90's. Stop now please.
I'm watching Smackdown for the first time in months (big mistake by the way). But anyway, Henry came out and said that he destroyed Taker, blah blah blah. Taker video package plays, weird stuff happens, Taker says that Henry will R.I.P. How many ing times have we seen this happen? Even since his revival in 2004, we've seen this many times with Henry (around WM22), Kane, Khali, Heidenreich, maybe more. This stuff is getting so stale and warn out.
You forgot Orton. And I was hoping for a buried alive match, but that is not going to happen so.....

It`s called evolution, people!! The character has evolved so much theres not much left to do with it but have him beat people. Much like Jason Voorhees!! They can`t do much more to his character then just having him kill people, and having a biker called the undertaker is the worst thing they ever did to has character.

A classic case of WWE relying on the career of the individual rather than what they are actually doing now, they do it with all of their legends. Mick Foley, Austin, Taker, etc.
Hey WWE, how about you stop relying on our memories and create some new ones? There hasn't been a really great CLASSIC match since Edge v. Foley at WM 22

I don't know, I just really disliked the ABA Taker so I'm very happy that he's doing something as close to the original Taker gimmick. My favorite era of Taker was probably '97-'99 especially when he was doing the Ministry gimmick.
