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.

I totally agree. This Taker 2.0 is nothing like the original. I guess because he has become so established that they don't think they have to do anything creative with him anymore. That's so lame. Remember how great he was a decade ago? And then when the Attitude Era kicked him the character got even better. Now it's just Taker-lite with nothing new. It's sad. I miss the old Undertaker.

Every single Taker feud since 04 has been EXACTLY the same feud. I think he needs to go heel.

Not that Taker was ever good...but the current version makes me nauseous.

I agree. His build up for his return at WMXX was the only good ones. It really got me hyped up because the way they set them up.
Now its just like....."Yeah....I've seen this before...."

I don't know...I don't really think it matters how many times he's done it (this Sunday will be the 7th) he still gets a huge reaction....so I think it's still got a lot of life left in it.

I like his promo's. Granted his character is stale. He needs to go heel and lead a new ministry like faction. Maybe with Him, Thorn, Kane, and they need to bring in a new gothic like Tag Team for Smack Down!

The promos themselves, as in the actual promos that are played, are awesome!
But the storyline is worn to death.. no pun intended. (the pun was intended.)

i admit this is predictable and expected to happen friday, but i actually like it. the videos are good, and henry is so stupid it's funny to watch. And for everyone that's sick of it, it should be over after tonight, taker and henry will probably continue to feud regularly on smackdown.

I still think we need to have a Taker vs Edge feud where Edge outsmarts Taker at every turn.

I still think we need to have a Taker vs Edge feud where Edge outsmarts Taker at every turn. It would be good. But they wouldn't do it that way. Edge would say how awesome he is. The lights would go out. There would be smoke and purple lighting. Edge would be scared. That's just how all the Undertaker feuds are now.

Undertaker is my favorite wrestler of all time, and even I agree that his feuds are blatantly formulaic. I think Undertaker needs to turn heel and go into full-MMA mode... appearance-wise he should lose the hat and tenchcoat, grow a beard and cut his hair so that it's as long as it was when he faced McMahon in the Buried Alive. While he should cut promos like how he did as the ABA Taker, going back to the ABA Taker seems like going backwards instead of forwards. Undertaker could add more MMA to his repertoire, and still be a bad ass without rehashing and potentially adulterating a great period in his legacy. I think an 'MMA Taker' could be a huge success if WWE could pull it off...

Don't forget Yokozuna, Fake Undertaker, Kama Mustafa (a pre-Godfather Charles Wright), Mankind and Paul Bearer... and I'm probably forgetting some people on that list. So yeah, this storyline became stale somewhere around 1995.
