I guess he just wasn't pleased with the more extreme direction his character had taken. He pretty much became the devil.
That is when I started watching (the Greater Power storyline was the first huge angle I saw, so it holds a place in my heart for one of my favorite angles even if the outcome was disappointing), so for me, I thought the whole thing was pretty cool. Since then, I have seen older footage and matches and whatnot. His older gimmick was sweet too. Not that I didn't know who Undertaker was before I watched. That is the gimmick I believe he will be returning with.

Yeah, I think that's kind of it, that everything he was doing at that point was pure shock value, and it was at a level he hadn't gone to before. Locking the Ultimate Warrior in a casket is one thing; building up a cult of followers, crucifying and hanging your opponents in the ring, and proceeding to kidnap and attempt to sacrifice innocent girls, this stuff was all over the line of where he had been before. It's kind of interesting that he feels that way about that year seeing as how it was one of the few in which he enjoyed a title run.
