Two shit guys in the ring in now equals a good to great match. You're spewing ignorance. If Taker is such a shit worker, go ahead and tell me his shittiest matches.

And I'm not talking about mid 90s Taker either. He got booked against shit workers he could do very little with. I'm talking Taker from 2002 and on. His HITC match with Lesnar is what virtually put Lesnar over as a monster champion at the time. It was a great match.

Not to mention his worst Mania match post Attitude era was probably against Mark Henry. And it wasn't bad. It just lacked the feeling that Taker may actually lose. The match itself is more than passable.

Anyone remeber the SmackDown! title match Taker had with Angle where Brock interfered right after Taker hits the Last Ride? I remember that being a damn fine match at the time.

I THINK hes slow as fuck, boring and the crowd ALWAYS go quiet during his matches. He has SO MANY shit matches it would be quicker to list his good matches, so here goes, AHEM. . . .

1. Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels (WrestleMania XXV)
. . . . well thats it

Since about 2006, The Undertaker has changed his style to be one that more closely resembles an MMA-inspired approach. It has worked for him, and he's produced several great matches. I hate the character, I find it hard to get excited about his matches before they are happening unless they are a dream scenario; but you have to give the devil his due.

From an all-round perspective, you'd have to consider The Undertaker one of the greatest of all-time. In the big man category, he's probably only second to Andre the Giant.
