- Paul Bearer doing...nothing. I marked out when I heard his voice, but...I expected the urn to come into play.

- He fought the exact same way he did when he was the Badass. I wanted to see him taken down, then Paul raising the urn, then UT sitting up. I wanted to see him no-sell the chokeslam, then roll his eyes and hit the Tombstone. Instead, it was all the same punch-punch-punch shit we've been seeing for four years.

That's just a start, but I have a paper to write and an alarm clock set for five-and-a-half hours from now...

EXACTLY.
He's the american badass with a hat.

That whole match was a huge let down, when I saw Taker coming out I just hung my head down. He looked like Dustin Runnels' scrapped gimmick "7even"
and the way they made Kane look like a sissy was horrible. So now his career is pretty much done, he could have least went out in style like kicking out of 2 Tombstones.

Maybe on Smackdown they'll realize the error of their ways and give the Undertaker the look everyone wants him to have. And if anything this feud with Kane should continue. He comes back and ends the feud in one night!? That doesn't make any sense. He jsut got back, Kane's going to need a high-profile feud after getting buried like that.

Well, now that Lesnar's leaving, we're likely to see an Undertakre title run this year on Smackdown. Edge should also go back to SD.

I think some people bought the hype a little too much. They did a good job and it got me marking out that's for sure (and I'm certainly not a Taker mark usually). The only thing I agree with is that his wrestling style didn't alter enough - but then again, I've never been a fan of Calloway's in-ring work. The entrance and look PERSONALLY I thought were great and I like how they didn't go over-board on making him look 'dead', personally I think it would of seemed corny. It was like a contemporary twist on his old theme.
