(Even though the last picture kind of resembles the early UT, he is now more of a technical wrestler)

I personally liked the UT with the purple gloves. That one, around the '93-95', was the best to me.

I've always been a big Purple Taker mark

The One 04-17-2009 12:20 AM

American Bad Ass.

Yes, I mark for Biker Taker, what of it!?

TOVO Fact: Tovo doesn't watch TNA anymore.

DarKCentaur 04-17-2009 12:23 AM

Ministry Taker. He also had the coolest theme of them all

Ol Dirty Dastard 04-17-2009 12:35 AM

New Taker. Better worker, better feuds... and one of the few reasons I'll tune in if I do.

Ol Dirty Dastard 04-17-2009 12:36 AM

He's also dropped a bunch of weight and moves wayyyyy better now than he did particularly as the ABA

Innovator 04-17-2009 12:37 AM

Current Taker, then ABA by a slight margin, then 1997-98 Taker

mike adamle 04-17-2009 12:41 AM

purple taker was great, ive always marked out for his feud with mankind in 96, so i guess thats why

Ol Dirty Dastard 04-17-2009 12:45 AM

They always feuded the older Taker with big hosses so his matches tended to suck.... I mean yeah he had some doozies with Hart, Michaels and Mankind... but who hasn't? Only now has he really begin to shine as a worker because they let him go out there and essentially do what he wants which is awesome. He actually legit comes off as a good worker now. Obviously age doesn't make him consistantly have THE BEST matches, and injuries and what not obviously.... but really... if u put him in there with a half decent worker, you're guaranteed some fun that's for damned sure.

There was a while when he was the American Badass where he was soooooooo shit, he couldn't do anything right, then all of a sudden it changed.

The Genius 04-17-2009 12:46 AM

ministry of darkness taker closely followed by original debut taker when all he did was choke his opponents and then tombstone them.

Ol Dirty Dastard 04-17-2009 12:51 AM

I was watching some throwback Ricky Steamboat matches, and in one of them the Steamer actually busts out a tombstone :0 it was pretty crazy

RGWhat316 04-17-2009 01:06 AM

American Bad Ass was probably the most I ever marked out for him, especially at Judgment Day 2000.

7spike 04-17-2009 02:08 AM

American Bad Ass first. Then the Undertaker before the Ministry of Darkness one, but I forget what he was called back then.

Loose Cannon 04-17-2009 02:10 AM

I was such a mark for the Ministry angle. one of my favorite angles ever

Heyman 04-17-2009 03:29 AM

Satanic Undertaker of 1999 was my favorite.

However - I didn't enjoy satanic Undertaker when he formed a brief penis-on-penis alliance with the Big Show.

I loved him when he was the leader of the Ministry....a ministry that consisted of him, the Acolytes, the Brood, Viscera, and Mideon.

Jeritron 04-17-2009 03:30 AM

Probably the Ministry. Although, the 1998 Taker was amazing to me. I think the 1998 Taker deserves his own representation here, not to be lumped in with the 1996-97 Taker depicted.
When he was a tweener, lone gunmen was great.

I loved the badass at first. For match quality, the current incarnation of Taker may be the best.


I dunno. This is hard. I vote for them all except for 2003 Taker. After his heel turn as the badass, when he turned back to a face was the only time I was bored by him.

Jeritron 04-17-2009 03:33 AM

Also, you forgot this:

johnsmagic 04-17-2009 03:40 AM

Shaggy 04-17-2009 04:09 AM

Ministry Taker

I know everyone has their own preference, but I did not like Biker Taker at all. It totally killed the "mystique," so to speak, of the Undertaker. The whole "Sara" thing didn't help either.

Lord-Of-Darkness 04-17-2009 06:15 AM

Ministry Taker, followed closely by heel ABA. I loved the whole 'demanding respect' angle.

I pretty much loved any Taker heel run that had some depth. So it doesn't really include his first run.

Which of course ended with the greatest face turn of all time:

Jake Roberts : Whose side are you on any way?!

Taker: Noooootttt yyooouuurrrssss


Genius.

Juan 04-17-2009 06:25 AM

LOL that was classic

Ministry Undertaker.

GD 04-17-2009 07:17 AM

The Undertaker with purple gloves and boots.

Sting Fan 04-17-2009 08:19 AM

Heel ABA taker, Draggin Hogan behind the bike, through until the end of that same run.

It had the Hardy Ladder match, Angles vs. Taker vs. Rock I think it was, amazing triple threat. and it was just a good era for him IMO. A better fit with the times.

Nicky Fives 04-17-2009 08:32 AM

1. Purple Gloves
2. American Bad Ass
3. Original (grey gloves)

RP 04-17-2009 09:02 AM

American Bad Ass was by far the best.

It really is his best charachter. It fits him perfectly. The deadman thing gets extremely annoying and cliche. His promo's were so much better as the American Bad Ass too.

Volare 04-17-2009 09:44 AM

"A Decade of Distruction" caught on pretty well too.

The Fonz 04-17-2009 09:52 AM

American Badass, followed by Ministry, then Current Taker.

Sting Fan 04-17-2009 10:01 AM

Deadman Inc was a good little slogan too.

AJHayes 04-17-2009 10:17 AM

I can't say one particular Taker or another. He has always seemed to be what the company needs. His contributions from 93 to 96-97 was what kept the company afloat while new stars were being established.

wwe2222 04-17-2009 10:22 AM

Ministry Taker
Old School Taker
Current
American Bad Ass

I liked the American Bad Ass concept, but I didnt enjoy alot of what he was doing at the time.

Hasn't Taker actually stated before that he didn't enjoy doing the whole 'Ministry of Darkness' thing?

Xero 04-17-2009 10:51 AM

Ministry Taker was great, but I have to go with current Taker. In terms of his in-ring work he's miles ahead of his other gimmicks.

Rammsteinmad 04-17-2009 11:24 AM

Ministry was really cool, and Taker's work now is way above anything else he had done before, but I think my favourite Undertaker was the badass, especially when he turned heel.

He was more believable in the fact that he wouldn't sit up after taking a beating etc, he sold pain, but he was big and intimidating enough to still be the "big dog in the yard".
