The Undertaker: burial machine

I agree...in this age of wrestling nobody cares for gimmicks like his. Guys like Boogeyman can be passed of as 'weirdos' but rising from the dead etc is just something that nobody believes nor is interested in. The problem with Taker these days is he obviously has a pretty light schedule which I dont mind, but it means the storyline never gets over. It doesnt matter how many videos they show, nothing hypes up a feud more than face to face promos. He wud be better going bak to his biker days or atleast somethin inbetween the deadman and the biker.

If Orton deserved to be put over, I'd agree with you.

I wish they made the Undertaker look as 'Deadman' in the ring as they do on his videos and promos. As soon as he gets in the ring he looks like any other normal wrestler, and moves like one. Back in the day, all the way up to 1998, he would actually wear good looking attires, and move like a real deadman.

Now, he just wears tights, boots and a vest like anyone else. Even the fact that his hair is brushed back behind his head annoys me, why not have it hanging over his face.

LOL! Hot off being the youngest world champion? I think not. Hardly. Never compare Taker jobbing to what Triple H does because HHH's stuff out rules takers

and his gimmick doesnt sell? Yes thats why after some 17 odd years he can still getting a crowd going not to mention hi t shirts and merchandise sell like hot cakes.

The mainstream fans thought Kennedy was terrible after he lost match after match to Taker. It DOES matter if you win or lose in a feud.

Taker didn't put Kennedy over. KK never pinned him once in that feud. And after the DQ victory Kennedy had over him, Taker beat the crap out of him. If that was Triple H, "Burial!!" would've been shouted from the rooftops. Taker making someone "Look like a good wrestler" means nothing if he makes you look like an unworthy piece of crap afterward. Didn't lose once via pinfall. Not by hook. Not by crook. He loss once when HE hit Kennedy with a chair and got himself disqualified. Then loss to KK again in a First Blood Match AFTER he busted Kennedy open. On both occasions, he beat the crap out of Kennedy after the match. It's been FIVE YEARS since he lost a feud to anyone worth a damn.


During that time, I've seen him come back and destroy heaps of guys at one time (Survivor Series 2005 comes to mind). Each and every time, all that's heard is "it's his character". No. It's his fascination with his character, to be honest.



I was talking about selling in the ring. You know, he gets hit with a finisher and then sits up.

Oh lord...

Yeah, like The Undertaker jobs to the younger talent more than Ric Flair.

Exactly. He always makes his opponents look great when he's feuding with them. You don't have to put someone over by letting them win.

Besides, the only reason he always wins is because they need to make him long strong- after all, he is supposed to be this dead person that everybody's afraid of. If he lost as many matches as say..Kane..nobody would make him out to be a threat. Look at Kane now..he's a joke.

I agree with you though that his gimmick now sucks. He needs to return to ABA/ Big Evil badly.

So, when Triple H hits Umaga with a sledgehammer it's a burial, but when The Undertaker hits Kennedy with a chair, it's putting him over?

And when Triple H cleans house on 5 people it's a burial, but when The Undertaker cleans house on like 30 wrestlers it's his character?

Hmmm, makes sense I guess.

Kennedy not going anywhere made it worse! There was no reason to hit him in the head with a chair after the match when Kennedy was actually looking like a decent heel, was there?

And Undertaker returning doesn't automatically mean he has to clean the clock of every ing wrestler on the Smackdown roster. He could have easily just attacked Orton.

And your replies are really weak. If you're trying to look like a big boy insted of making decent conversation like usual, you've failed.
