On the flip side, "Deadman" Undertaker since ABA Taker as sucked too! Nah. He's had the best matches of his career since then with the exception of his stuff with Bret Hart, Mankind & HBK in 1996-1997. His matches with Edge, HBK and even Batista at Wrestlemania has been some of his best work.

He's always had good matches though no matter the gimmick...Its just hard to take a 50yo dude with "magical powers" serious after being a biker for so many years. It doesnt help that as fans, we're much older now too.

I think his 1997 run is VASTLY underrated and is probably his best work from a character standpoint.

Seemed like he was hurt a lot or did mostly promos. I just tend to personally like "realism" more and I can take him more as an ass kicking biker then a "zombie" haha

As much as i would mark out for ABA Taker it does not really fit... Against Lesnar it would have been perfect(especially if you think about the feud they had 2002/03) but this Year i dont think that will happen maybe after he retires and will have a random apperance during somekind of Old School RAW Reunion Show but not in one of his Final Matches

I think there's no chance in hell that The Undertaker doesn't comeback like the Deadman. This sunday they're fighting to see who is the face of fear and not who's the most bad-ass.

ABA Undertaker to me, is the only version of the character that I didn't find insultingly stupid. Despite his awful gimmick, he still is one of the best ever, so credit where it is due, but the only time I could get into him as a character was as the ABA.

American Badass return would be great, personally. Although I don't see him doing that now.

I loved ABA Taker, everything about it especially the the shorter hair Big Evil version. Much cooler to me than the magical powers stuff.

That being said the chances of ABA returning at WM this year are about the same as Scarlett Johansson knocking on my door and confessing her undying love for me.

If the ABA Taker comes out, I'll turn the tv off and go for a night run. I'm not watching that crap.

Are you guys serious? The entire basis of this feud has been about Bray "waking the dead" and Taker responding with lightning bolts and stuff. There's zero chance he changes his gimmick. Zero. He doesn't walk through an airport in a leather trench coat with a black hat and eyeliner on lol. Of course he's going to look like the ABA gimmick when you see him out and about in real life; that "gimmick" was supposed to be how he looks and acts in real life. "The MAN comes around" He's never been referred to as a mortal man before; well besides ABA. I'm probably just looking too far into it. I would love it just as much if we get the classic deadman theme. I'm just happy he's still wrestling. His nickname is "The Deadman." And they've used Johnny Cash for him in the past, as well. I think Taker is just a big fan of his and likes using his songs for stuff. And also, I agree, I was so sick of the ABA gimmick by the time it was ending. I much prefer the Deadman gimmick, I don't think it's sucked at all since he went back to it. The supernatural mind games and stuff are all still awesome to me no matter how cheesy they are.
