Has anyone thought that he says it because it fits his character?

I think characters like The Undertaker and Kane are more intimidating when they don't talk.

I couldn't agree more with Kane, back when he was masked and never talked he was creepy but now he just comes off a cheese ball that isn't the slightest bit of intimidating. Taker was good way back when when Paul did most of his talking but we're never gonna see either of those characters again, sadly.

Guy who mentioned Shang Tsung - I thought the same thing. Undertaker's promos make it sound like his matches are going to end with Tsung's Fatality. He does remind me of Mortal Kombat... Except he just pins guys or makes them submit, which makes him come off almost intellectually- disabled in his promos. Has anyone thought that he says it because it fits his character? It fits his character to say silly, meaningless things? That just means his character's kind of terrible.

To me personally, the character is a joke. Gimmick characters are okay in small doses, but not when they are taken this seriously and to these extremes. Being the deadman limits him so much in terms of talking and angles. We get the same old recyled crap. He was at his best when he was the american badass, because he could interact with people, could run a promo without gimmick catchprases like "rest in peace" and you can take the character more seriously. Seeing a 40+ man potraying a demonic character seriously is slightly embaresing and really it's no better than The Boogeyman or Papa Shango.

I hate what the WWE is doing with his character at the minute. He appears every 2-3 weeks, cuts a really stupid, boring, over-used promo, either defends or loses the titles and dissapears for months at a time.
I am a huge fan of the Undertaker, but he needs fresh blood to feud with. He should be back on Raw.

Things like that, are the reason I have never liked the Deadman character.

Midway, the company that makes Mortal Kombat games also used to make MK-style WWF games and the Undertaker was supposed to have a Fatality in one of them but the WWF nixed that idea.

Guys... this is pro wrestling... its a soap opera, stop trying to take it so seriously Imagine there's a soap opera about people who work in a bar. One of them starts dressing up in funny clothes and saying he's going to take everyone's soul... Then he just keeps working in the bar as usual. Does that character become scary and serious or does he become a joke? "I'm going to take your soul by making this cocktail faster than you can!"

Ok, soap opera is mabye the wrong example, circus is better... Also, your saying that if the taker character was real, he'd be telling everyone he's taking there souls... in wrestling he says that to whoever he is fueding with, if he was in the real world in bar, he'd probably be there drinking... in wrestling, his character saying that is in context, in a soap opera bar, it wouldn't be... my god Seriously, if your gonna complain about what Taker says, why don't you complain about what Goldust wears? his current character doesn't need him to wear that

It's a reality based gimmick. Undertaker is a ment to be a demonic zombie type character, who just chooses to wrestle by rules. yeah, okay.

It's a reality based gimmick. Undertaker is a ment to be a demonic zombie type character, who just chooses to wrestle by rules. yeah, okay. First of all, that isn't Goldies gimmick, his gimmick originally was someone obsessed with films who is homo-erotically suggestive in order to play mind games... In 1996-8, yea but really, what has goldust done since his return that really makes you think 'hmm, this character would not make sense if he wasn't in a gold jumpsuit with face paint and a wig'. Is it comedy skits? no, Santino was able to do comedy skits without that look. And going back to the movie stuff, what movie references has goldust had lately? nothing, but we don't complain because its nostalgic to the era of gimmicks. its entertaining and its become synonimous with him And to be honest, i'd bet you'd be more likely to see someone dressed up as Taker in real life than as Goldust And this is from a total Goldust mark.
