It's been eight months...

...since old school Undertaker appeared and about a year since Taker last road out on a motorcycle, and he's still as over as ever.

Remember when we were discussing Taker's return as the Dead Man, how most of us said that it couldn't last a long time, since the novelty would get old, and they couldn't possibly have him make rare appearances forever?

Well, lo and behold, IMO, it's worked. Taker has wrestled on SmackDOWN in a while, but it we don't really notice it, or at least I don't. Despite the inherent lack in logic in Taker going back to semi-supernatural dead man from biker, I haven't really seen any complaints about Taker around here, and the fans obviously still mark out for him huge.

The way the WWE has kept his appearances novel is one of the few things they haven't screwed up this year. It's so simple, yet effective, and I think a big part of the success has to do with sticking to the plan and not rushing things, or dropping an angle when it doesn't look like it'll work for a moment.

Anyway, discuss or something.
