I mean clearly he's agreeing to whatever this is to wash the taste of embarrassment out of his mouth and prove he's not "THAT old and bad guys", right?
You know Taker has lost all his appeal when it takes 32 minutes AFTER the show goes off the air for someone on WF to finally make a thread about his completely random return that happened hours ago for a PPV that isn't SummerSlam..
To be fair I don't watch the show, only about half the youtube highlights, and that is usually only after a PPV. So the situation is even more dire than you say.
He should have just stayed away after the Reigns match at WM33. He REALLY should have retired after WM30, but I can understand how he wouldn't have been pleased with that performance given the great match he had the year prior with CM Punk.
It's going to be the greatest comedy of the year, might get a chance of a Emmy with this match. Old man Taker and Shane huffing and puffing around the ring, a ton of sweat and fake tan all over the place. Plus how many times they botch a move and nearly kill one another. They be rolling out Taker in a wheel chair soon with the Beatles "When I'm 64" playing as his entrance theme.

Vince isn't going to get the message until someone is seriously injured, paralyzed, or dies in the ring again. You'd think the train wreck that was Goldberg Vs Taker would have been enough of a message. That could have ended very bad a few times.
But nope. Vince doesn't care, as long as they're willing he'll allow it.
To be completely fair, I don't blame much of that much at all on Taker. Yeah they stumbled several times, but I've never tried to lift a HEAVILY concussed meat head into the air before, but I have to assume MOST of that was on Goldie knocking himself out like a moron.
And I love Goldberg, but come on dude... You headbutted the wall, fucked up your promo, and then promised not to do to door head butt anymore during Mania season and what do you do? Headbutt the door, and then post yourself head first.
They say, “never meet your heroes”. In wrestling it should be “never see them after their prime”.
I remember the Undertaker debuting, it was my first survivor series and loved him instantly. The last 5 years of Undertaker, has been a very painful experience.
He could’ve hung up his boots after the Reigns match and been the Phenom, who might be used to show up at events in crucial moments of a big match or something. Instead of the legend, the myth, we now see a frail, mortal, broken shell of a childhood memory. That fucking hurts.
He must have something to prove; watched the video and he legit put some vigour in his appearance.
