People, understand THE UNDERTAKER IS NOT GOING TO RETIRE ANYTIME SOON
This is not a long post, but I continually year, after year read about The Undertaker retiring. WTF? He has YEARS left, he's not going away so soon. Jim Ross recently said he has never herd him speak of retirement and predicted that he would be around for MANY YEARS to come. So shut the fuck up about it.

Yeah, Undertaker has hit like a second prime or something. He's consistently pulling out good matches now.

Outside of shawn micheals and even then he left for a while, undertaker is the only guy whos been around for nearly EVERY era WWE has had outside of the begining of hulkamania, but even then, he was around for it towards the middle and end. His charcter is not so well known outside the walls of wrestling like hogan, but anyone withb half a brain knows the undertaker is OLD SCHOOL with out looking like an OLD FOOL. He seriously has hit some second prime or something.

Taker is old, and there are times when I've hoped for him to retire in some ways (I'm a huge Undertaker mark), but he does still pull off good stuff here and there. That, and I love getting to see him live, regardless.

Is Undertaker ever going to come out with a book? And if he does, he better right it himself.
I mean a real autobiography, not that bullshit Kane did. |

Yeah, an autobiography would be sweet, I read The Rocks a few times, I always enjoyed reading the parts when he started training.

I mean i don't mind keeping Undertaker around as long as he's doing what he's doing now, and only having matches once in a while. Seems like he's basically semi-retired.

I don't mind the Undertaker's in-ring skill, but I hate his gimmick and how every fued he is in is booked the same.
Plus the fact that he rarely does a clean job anymore... In my opinion he should go back to the American Badass. He was more fun to watch when he was a believable character. As an unstoppable Deadman it's just plain boring now. |

I can't.
I am the average wrestling fan. Until you mentioned '98, I didn't remember the Undertaker dated back that far. |

I can only think of:
vs Austin at Summerslam 1998 vs Lesnar in Hell in a Cell at No Mercy 2003 vs Angle at No Way Out 2006 vs Khali at Judgement Day 2006 |

I hate the current gimmick. I mean, when I heard he was returning to his darker roots, I got pretty excited. I loved his Ministry of Darkness character, and this theme music at this time was really cool. I was pretty hyped. Then he returned to the Death March in a leotard with a new hat.
![]() I'd welcome another change of character. Taker wrestles so far and in between that he gives his body time to rest, so he could stretch his career out some. I still think that WrestleMania 25 could mark the end of his career, though. After that he might become a Hulk Hogan-style competitor, only showing up once a year, or something. |

I never liked the "Big Evil" character at the time (or "Booger Red", as Rammsteinmad affectionately remembers), but in hindsight, I can really appreciate it.

Yea he seems to be in better shape than 99 actually, I'd say. Maybe not because of age, but he looks to be in better ring shape. Can't really tell exactly what shape he was in from 2000-2005 since he wrestled in baggy clothes. Up til 99 he was in great shape but didn't seem as cut and trim.

His stamina and mobility in the ring seems to maybe be lessened, though it doesn't look that he's lost much of a step. He can still hit the notes and go the distance. When comparing the 4 main eventers this week, maybe not as well as Shawn or Cena may be able to, but certainly impressive for a guy his size and age. Definitely in better ring shape than the World Champion.
Batista will surely blow up before Taker does on sunday. Last edited by Jeritron; 03-26-2007 at 03:18 AM. |
