5 things that suck about The Undertaker

i used to be a big-time Undertaker mark. i started watching wrestling in 1990-because of the Undertaker. i thought the guy was just awesome. and he was. i am not even saying that Mark Calloway is the reason the Undertaker sucks, but anyway

1. the gimmick: that gimmick is just WAAAAYYYY out of place in today's wrestling environment. it may have been a bad idea to totally transform the phenom into a biker back in 2000, but it was an even worse idea to totally change him back to his old gimmick in 2004. i was shit'n' on it then, and im shit'n' on it now. see, the way it worked in the 90's was that if you fueded with the Undertaker, and invariably, lost, you were'nt seen again for six months because he killed you and burried you and took your soul, or something. these days, the roster is not deep enough for that. that's why there is very little for Phenom 2005 to do. that's why we haven't seen his face since Wrestlemainia. that, or he's injured. either way.......

2. his work rate: he is not only prone to injury, but his character does not fit today's wrestling environment, so programs probably dont come easy. When all those guys (JBL, Big Show, Booker T.........) came down to proclaim themselves #1 contender, i expected Taker to be one of them. no Taker. then the next week they were in Houston, Taker's home town. no Taker

3. his entrance: ooooh, scary stuff! wait, no. TOO MUCH stuff. yeah, that's it. way too much theatrical b.s. goin' on for an entry. the black lighting, the lightning, and most especially the mist. and the theme music sucks. basically, it's the 'PURPLE GLOVE' era entrance, which was by far the worst era and the worst entrance. it's over the top.

4. that he is a habitual babyface: Undertaker as a heel =

i thought it was pretty cool when Undertaker went and beat up Ric Flair's son. Undertaker is getting up there in age. He aint a phenom anymore. mean ass redneck who aint been gettin' enough respect, that was a cool gimmick. but then, just when i'm starting to enjoy that gimmick, Undertaker as a face =

always the victim and constantly getting screwed. who didnt know that Heidenreich would end up costing Taker the match vs. JBL for the title. however, simple logic does dictate that the 7 ft. satan worshiper be a babyface, right??

5. his fueds: again, this is due to the phenom 2004 switch. his fueds with Kane, and Booker T were just embarassing to watch. i mean, we know wrestling is not for real, but no need to insult us.

i would love to see Undertaker traded to RAW and go right back to heel bikertaker. i think that character could be an asset on RAW (or Smackdown), but not this side show circus that is Deadman '05.
