Taker's transition from Purple Taker to Lord of Darkness/early Attitude era Taker was his weirdest look
Red tinge in his hair, prison teardrop tattoo, and weird forehead make-up to emote for him or something.

The teardrop was Taker's strangest thing.
Like which one's?
What farewell moment can you think of?
You think 30 counts as one?
It was alright. Nothing huge, but it was still a ok event for the first day.
Maybe he's signaling to the smarks that he caught a body.

Taker killed Stro? Nah...wasn't Taker...Taker can't Take.
It really is where it should have ended. The Streak ends unbroken with Taker surviving 4 years of the D-Generation X gauntlet, and putting an epilogue into the Attitude Era.
But then they decided it would be good to get Taker up to a nice anniversary WrestleMania with 30. And then they decided to have The Streak die. And then nobody responded to that moment like how Vince wanted so they decided he needed to get Taker to Texas for a hometown sendoff.

Friends, is it possible for me to make my own diet soda slushees?
All I ever see at gas stations are those terrible sugar-laden ones, and I need my aspartame high. Nobody's making a ginger ale slushee. I want this to happen.

And next thing you know it's five years later. And age has caught up.
It sucks because we have to see Taker suffer just to see the greatest funeral is sports entertainment history.

My bad, just checked and I guess I just automatically assumed your whole Piper shtick thing extended into the Taker news development. Sorry friend, won't happen again.

The fuck's with his eyebrows
Konnan didn't mention it, but I assume he has or will
I guess you can. The have diet Ginger Ale so.....
I saw this the other week, but haven't tried. Worth a shot.

Age caught up to him a bit but I still think the concussion he got at WM30 screwed up peoples perception of Taker and his age. His match the year before with Punk was great and his WM31 match with Bray was probably as good as it could have been.

I can't get over the brilliance of this. Because we all know Kaladin didn't really ignore Sunflower, but he's now in a position where he has to pretend he didn't see this, forcing him to sit there getting angrier and angrier.

Undertaker was on a time limit as soon as the Batista feud ended.
I respect a man who can admit he's wrong, just as you should respect me for freely admitting that I once liked Bray Wyatt. That was completely wrong.
I'm glad we squared this up, Tom. You're alright by me.

Undertaker has seriously never done it for me. As a young kid discovering death/dying for the first time, his character scared the absolute hell out of me. By the time I was old enough to not be afraid anymore, I was already sick of the Undertaker. I have to be the only person who grew up watching WWF/E that couldn't give a fuck less about the Undertaker.
The only serious hype match/storyline of his I liked was beating the fake Undertaker that one time.

No doubt that didn't help.

I'm fine with old man Taker doing his thing, but not when he's hogging Brock's time. I'm still down for a match with Sting at this year's Mania.

That feud was good, but goddamn. Whoever thought he should have done that leap was stupid. That wrecked his body more than anything else in the last decade.
Only things I can think to compare it to is Shawn fucking up his back on that casket, and Samoa Joe taking that steps bump. They were never the same after that.

if taker's 'mystique' is gone, then they should just have his retirement match be against kane, they both beat the crap out of each other to a double KO, the druids come out and take away both bodies and no one sees either ever again~

1. WrestleMania 30 - you got destroyed; retire with dignity
2. WrestleMania 31 - you got destroyed, but you came back to punish someone impudent enough to call you back; retire with slightly less dignity
3. WrestleMania 28 - WWE keeps selling it as THE END OF AN ERA; retire while on top
4. WrestleMania 27 - No Holds Barred, you beat Triple H; retire while on top
But promoters love trotting out their old favorites who might make them short term money, hitting that button again and again until it stops making money for them.

It's not over yet, friend. Follow the money.

A guy who is capable of matches that could charitably described as "as good as it could have been" is a hell of a barometer for a guy you're pairing with your company's biggest asset and most legitimate star.
Just drink seltzer, friend.
It is funny that there was so much bitching about why Lesnar got to break The Streak, and it seemed to have worked out for him. Now, we're complaining about why broken down, old, and weak Undertaker gets to break Lesnar's mystique. Tables turn quickly.
"3.5 hours" seemed awfully unscientific for a man creating an arc of electricity between two nails in his video intro. Looks pretty neat if you can get the timing down, though.

I'm willing to make an avatar bet that Taker wins any potential SummerSlam singles match against Lesnar AND the rematch. I'm doubly certain if the rematch takes place at WrestleMania 32.
So much for the God King Brock Lesnar.
I like Bray a lot but I don't think he's a very good actual wrestler. Even Taker can only carry sup-par wrestlers so far (case in point: look at a lot of Taker's early Mania matches).

Do you think Vince has the business sense and cultural awareness to book Ghostface vs Action Bronson for SummerSlam?

The problem is people thought if you have the streak end, it's to either make a guy, or make the guy who beats the guy. Having the streak end, then having him finally lose to the holder of the streak in the first place, is pretty much the last thing anybody could have wanted from that, definitely the worst thing anybody could have wanted from that, and with the downside of having took a year and a half of nothing in between.

Bray is not sub-par. He's not great, but he's absolutely not sub-par.
If Vince is looking for true mass appeal and big fight feel, he'd book Tyrone vs. Big Brody.

Fedor vs Kimbo
Father Time caught up. The same thing kind of happened to Hogan. From the 90s until the late 00s the dude looked like he was perpetually in his 40s. Then suddenly he turned into a 70 year old.

Not catching up on a days worth of thread. Owens losing sounds dumb. Taker attacking face Lesnar sounds dumb.
Here's Will Ospreay vs Marty Scurll in a preview of what you're getting at BOLA.

I dunno brock feels kind of...stale? Do I feel too hard to please as a fan if I say that? He's kind of been in the same role forever now and not that he shouldn't be but I dunno, I guess he worked better in an era when there were two championship belts so you didn't know who he'd try to mix it up with.
Brock's mystique has definitely faded away. It's not irreparable but he needs a shot in the arm, fast. He needs to have one or two matches where he straight up destroy's his opponent a la the Cena match last year - and it has to be against a legit main event player, not Kofi

What if we are looking at this all wrong? What if Undertaker actually absorbed Seth and now has all his power? Can't wait for Taker to beat Brock with a phoenix splash.
It's like Wrasslegaf is constantly forgetting that humans change over the 80 or so years people are alive.
