Which Undertaker did you enjoy the most?

New Taker. Better worker, better feuds... and one of the few reasons I'll tune in if I do.

They always feuded the older Taker with big hosses so his matches tended to suck.... I mean yeah he had some doozies with Hart, Michaels and Mankind... but who hasn't? Only now has he really begin to shine as a worker because they let him go out there and essentially do what he wants which is awesome. He actually legit comes off as a good worker now. Obviously age doesn't make him consistantly have THE BEST matches, and injuries and what not obviously.... but really... if u put him in there with a half decent worker, you're guaranteed some fun that's for damned sure.
There was a while when he was the American Badass where he was soooooooo shit, he couldn't do anything right, then all of a sudden it changed. |

I was watching some throwback Ricky Steamboat matches, and in one of them the Steamer actually busts out a tombstone :0 it was pretty crazy

Satanic Undertaker of 1999 was my favorite.
However - I didn't enjoy satanic Undertaker when he formed a brief penis-on-penis alliance with the Big Show. I loved him when he was the leader of the Ministry....a ministry that consisted of him, the Acolytes, the Brood, Viscera, and Mideon. |

Probably the Ministry. Although, the 1998 Taker was amazing to me. I think the 1998 Taker deserves his own representation here, not to be lumped in with the 1996-97 Taker depicted.
When he was a tweener, lone gunmen was great. I loved the badass at first. For match quality, the current incarnation of Taker may be the best. I dunno. This is hard. I vote for them all except for 2003 Taker. After his heel turn as the badass, when he turned back to a face was the only time I was bored by him. |

I know everyone has their own preference, but I did not like Biker Taker at all. It totally killed the "mystique," so to speak, of the Undertaker. The whole "Sara" thing didn't help either.

Ministry Taker, followed closely by heel ABA. I loved the whole 'demanding respect' angle.
I pretty much loved any Taker heel run that had some depth. So it doesn't really include his first run. Which of course ended with the greatest face turn of all time: Jake Roberts : Whose side are you on any way?! Taker: Noooootttt yyooouuurrrssss Genius. |

Heel ABA taker, Draggin Hogan behind the bike, through until the end of that same run.
It had the Hardy Ladder match, Angles vs. Taker vs. Rock I think it was, amazing triple threat. and it was just a good era for him IMO. A better fit with the times. |

American Bad Ass was by far the best.
It really is his best charachter. It fits him perfectly. The deadman thing gets extremely annoying and cliche. His promo's were so much better as the American Bad Ass too. |

I can't say one particular Taker or another. He has always seemed to be what the company needs. His contributions from 93 to 96-97 was what kept the company afloat while new stars were being established.

Hasn't Taker actually stated before that he didn't enjoy doing the whole 'Ministry of Darkness' thing?

Ministry Taker was great, but I have to go with current Taker. In terms of his in-ring work he's miles ahead of his other gimmicks.

Ministry was really cool, and Taker's work now is way above anything else he had done before, but I think my favourite Undertaker was the badass, especially when he turned heel.
He was more believable in the fact that he wouldn't sit up after taking a beating etc, he sold pain, but he was big and intimidating enough to still be the "big dog in the yard". |
