Dam thats a tough call, Taker has the whole "decade of destruction" thing going for him, plus we had not really seen anything like his gimmick so it was new and original. I remember his match with Hogan at Survivor Series in 1991, the match was not that great in itself but it had Taker's freaky "doesnt flinch at anything" mantle against the "Immortal Force" of Hulkamania (yeah I know it was on the wain, but the average kid at the time still bought into it).
It may not be remembered that well now, but at the time it was huge.
Then on the other hand when Kane came in he no sold EVERYTHING, but in a good way, it gave him a mystique that arguably no one had had since Taker himself. He was basically untouched from October 97 through to Feb 98 when Vader finally got him down with a powerbomb, only for him to pop right back up!
Both original gimmicks were great.
Now though I dont care for either of them, Kane losing his mask was a big disappointment and Biker Taker is well past his prime and he taking up a main event spot of someone like Cena or Eddy.
I would however forgive Taker another main event run if he returns to the darkside, if only for the inevitable huge mark out moment of the first return.............
