No, but he needs to evolve his look. He does obviously look older, so his look should represent that. Maybe like an old sorcerer or dark lord, reminiscent of his 1998-1999 attire.

That's exactly what he is doing. This is his last run, and what a career (for the most part) it has been.

I agree, I think he should do something about the goatee though it looks weird. Idk about you guys, but I think it would interesting to see taker without the hair dye and a grayed out ministry goatee. I hope he gets some minstry inspired attire for wm 32 would be an awesome way to go out.

Why return to a gimmick he only had for 3 years? It makes zero sense.
However The Undertaker needs a new look he has wore that tank top for 14 years now and his attire is getting pretty boring.
I do believe he's growing his hair long again maybe in time for Mania so he should just stop dying it and let himself go white because it would be a good idea to make him look old and aged in his final match.

I would love to see him come back as ABA.

No I like the way he is, I'm glad he is not wearing the tight spandex pants. He looks a lot better with hair. He actually looks healthier than he did at WM30. I'm just enjoying any Undertaker I can get as I'm pretty sure this is going to be he last run.

Absolutely not. Coming out to rock music with a motorcycle or wearing a bandana would be positively ridiculous. People may like or dislike the Deadman character I get that. There are those that need the utmost "realism" and they don't do "characters" such as these but the thing is The Deadman is a legacy and the story of Taker and Brock is like Batman vs. Bane. Undertaker IS old... he's a battle tested, weary warrior reaper with gravel in his throat and lines on his face and a forehead covered in scars from the hundreds of times he's bladed. He's got this unique set of circumstances that nobody on the roster has and probably will ever have at this point. With being so close to the end, you end the saga the way it should be with the reaper. Not the time to be messing with things now. As a huge Undertaker and Batman fan, this hit me right in the feels. That's the perfect analogy for Taker-Lesnar.

He should have went back to the biker look years ago. Its dumb walking out pretending like you're "dead". Steve Austin was a foul mouthed, beer drinker...Putting a belt over his shoulder and calling him a ring master didnt work. Maybe in 1991. Gimmicks dont work anymore. People would much rather see the actual person...just look at how people have crapped all over Stardust in favor of Cody Rhodes. Taker doesnt need a bike. Just be "normal" dress exactly the way he dresses now (except for entrance attire) and change your music from a funeral march to something that makes me think Im gonna get my ass kicked.

Not the time to be messing with things now. perfectly said. exactly. agree 100%. as a lifelong Taker mark, his "Last Ride" should be as the Deadman. and,if anything, he should go out at Mania as THE Deadman,complete with hat,coat, grey gloves,boot covers, and tie. for those who will complain about his hair, he didn't have the super-long, curly look when he debuted. he could definitely get it looking like this in time for Mania 32: don't tell me we ALL wouldn't mark out if he had his last match in full, original Taker attire: sadly, the only thing that would be missing is Paul Bearer to lead him down the aisle...

I agree, deadman all the way. ABA was cool for a short time but this is THE Undertaker IMO. Characters are a thing of the past for the most part I agree, but Taker has transcended pretty much everything. If fans were rejecting it then I'd say change, but no matter what, the deadman persona has always ignited reaction and love from fans.

I didn't totally hate the ABA gimmick but Vince apparently detests that period of the Undertaker's career so don't go counting on it ever happening. No, but he needs to evolve his look. He does obviously look older, so his look should represent that. Maybe like an old sorcerer or dark lord, reminiscent of his 1998-1999 attire. This, though, sounds like the best damn idea I've heard in regards to the Undertaker I've heard since he's come back.

From my standpoint, yes. As I mentioned in a different thread, he looks like ABA Taker, he acts like ABA Taker, he might as well be ABA Taker. Maybe it's just me, but for a dead guy who's supposed to be "immortal", he's looking a little haggard and old. I just can't take the gimmick seriously anymore. This is not The Undertaker of old. But, if this is indeed his final run, I can't imagine there being any way he'd go out using his secondary gimmick. This. If he does ABA for Summerslam I'd be happy. Then go out with a bang as the Deadman vs Sting at Mania 32
