I find this odd but on Wikipedia (once again, not 100% legit), Undertaker is on the Developmental roster and it says he is kayfabed fired.

I wouldn't be surprised if he took quite a bit of time off and returned at the Royal Rumble to win it and set up yet another WM world title win.

If he does that, i'm sure he'd wait for 20 Also, wasn't it reported that WWE would be giving a send off to HBK and Taker that would be bigger that Flairs when they retire, because of their sole longevity in the WWF/E

I don't think so; on his Wikipedia it says he's still signed. Well if Wikipedia says it. They're always right. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

He'll be back dude. No doubt about it. There's no way they'd let his career go like this, in a ONS storyline.

hes coming to RAW, they gonna give him time off, and then when he is ready to come back, he will come to RAW, RAW needs guys like Taker for the ratings to go up, he might even come back as American Bad Ass

Why would he get a Flair send off??? Flair has been around since the 70's!!!! That's 4 decades of wrestling. He's a 16 time world champion. He's a living legend and has been since before Undertaker even debuted in WWE. Taker has done alot more for the 'E then Flair ever will. Undertaker was very loyal to Vince for almost 20 years. He should get a bigger send off imo. Agreed. To wrestling in general, Flair has done and meant more. But to WWE, Taker has done and meant more.

I also have a big feeling he is going to change his gimmick but knowing WWE.. I know he will just come back with his current gimmick and go along with it.

It's hard to tell at this point. At first I thought it was part of the storyline, but now after watching him leave the ring, he kinda looked like he was crying. I know he would make appearences but still. Storyline? Real? Dude's just a puss. Get over it man.

I doubt he's actually gone as staed before, he's a veteran and WWE wouldn't dare show his leaving without respect

I hated that gimmick. I remember people on here before he went back to his deadman gimmick would always wish he dropped the Big Evil stuff and now it is the opposite Is the old "Hey, we haven't seen this in a while. Let's bring it back!" mentality. That's why we see people saying they want D'Lo Brown and X-Pac back in the WWE. They would get the "Hey! We haven't seen you in a while" pop and then fade off into mediocrity. Or it could be the clouded and false perseption that everything in the past was supposedly better than what we have today. Take your pick. If he did go back to Big Evil, I'd give him 2-3 months before everyone started crying to bring the Deadman back again. He'd just be another Internet Flavor of the Month.

actually i think undertakers leaving is good because he will probably come back as the ABA i am just waiting for it at this point, going back to the original premise of him getting stale

honestly The Big Evil ABA gimmick was good when it was done. but some of you don't seem to understand that the deadman gimmick is what made him not the biker gimmick. one of the things i hated about it was the fact that they broke kayfabe with his character so many times by bring up his marriage, getting called mark, bringing up he and sara were having a child. the undertaker character is supposed to be a mystery not a "open book". i hope he stays with the deadman gimmick.

I found it interesting how Edge said 'This isn't one of those deals where he'll leave, get drafted to another show and come back in a few weeks'.
I don't think his retirement match would be at the likes of One Night Stand, though. I really think he WILL get drafted to Raw but won't show up for a couple of months, until SummerSlam maybe. I'm suprised he's taking time off again though, he only returned last September and he's in great shape at the minute, he looks healthy and can move around the ring really well.

Vince McMahon really is an idiot, he's basically saying this:
Vince: "Well, we can't hurt the Undertakers character by having him do autograph signings for his fans, or coming out on the stage to pay tribute to Ric Flair OR wrestlers that have passed away....but let's tell him to CRY over him being banned from WWE as part of a story where he'll be back on TV in a few weeks....God damn I'm brilliant, aren't I shane?!"
Shane: "Yup pops.....LET'S DANCE!!!!!!!! I GOTTA DANCE!!!!!!!!!"
