1. the gimmick: that gimmick is just WAAAAYYYY out of place in today's wrestling environment. What about Hogan's or JBL's Millilon Dollar man?

JBL is currently involved in about 2 or three fueds, and he gets more TV time than any wrestler on Smackdown. as for Hogan, he IS out of place. this is like the 20th ride on the endless Hulkamania Nostalgia Trip. The Undertaker gimmick is a nostalgia trip too.

It's marketing, Taker was a recognisable face back in the day and regular fans know him, it's a good way to re generate interest in fans that may have lost touch

WRONG. if i was watching wrestling for the 1st time in years, and i turned it on and saw a 15 minute Hogan pose down, followed by the X Files, starring the Undertaker, I would simply remember why i lost interest in wrestling in the first place.

2. his work rate: he is not only prone to injury, but his character does not fit today's wrestling environment

To be fair I can't really think of a stand out bad match that he's had since his return of the dead man, there's alot of people out on that roster that are far worse.

by work rate, i was referring to his attendace record. he has not even shown his face since WM21 because there is nothing for him to do because his gimmick is so out of place.

3. his entrance: ooooh, scary stuff! wait, no. TOO MUCH stuff. See Point 1

sorry, dude, but that entrance is just WAAAYY to grand.

At what point in this new gimmick has he claimed to be a Satan worshiper? And how can he not be a face right now? Honestly. How would you turn him heel? he's the most over guy on both rosters! Also see point 1

dont take what i said so literally. my point is that the character just makes a helluva lot more since as a heel. always has.

Personally i really enjoyed his feud with Kane

then you must be a complete mark, because that 'fued' consisted of ONE face to face physical confrontation which was the WM20 squash of Kane. all of that supernatural bullshit is out of place in 2005 and it is annoying to watch
