I think he's just going to be himself tbh. No Deadman gimmick or American Badass, just Mark Calaway. Though he'll still use the Undertaker name of course.

Raw is such a B-Show that they're using their go-home show for the Royal Rumble to do this. Like, last week was closer to the actual anniversary, surely that's when it should have actually been. Might have helped their numbers a tiny bit against that football game to roll out their own old farts.

From what I heard the American Badass was whom he preferred to be. Once he was asked to return to the Deadman gimmick, he requested to only work part time.

That's what i remember hearing in 2003.

I think it would be a bit strange for him to come out as The Deadman considering how many times he's "retired" that gimmick (WrestleMania 33, WrestleMania 36, Survivor Series 2020 and the Hall of Fame all felt like farewells.)

 

[Black Metal]

Or maybe he's lazy and doesn't wanna wear the outfit.

Or maybe he's lazy and doesn't wanna wear the outfit.

The last several years of his career he was basically wearing the same gear he wore as ABA/Big Evil just with the "Deadman" entrance and music. He was just a guy in a spandex tank top and leather pants.

Thanks Dave.

For those who are interested... he said to Bray

"Moments define this Industry, this one is special"

A fine passing of the torch-ish segment.

 

[Riddle101]

My bad, looks like he really did come out as ABA again. Not that I was against it, I just thought he would have retired the persona and would just be himself.

Do it by weeks

96 52 weeks
97 52 weeks

1560 weeks between then and now (without leap year dates) with it added we get?

Again leap years add days which over 30 years adds an entire extra week of days.

American Bad Ass Taker sounds kind of sexual 😂

How many times has the torch been passed to Bray only for him to not even be able to light his own farts with it?

I marked the fuck out when I heard that kid rock theme.

 

[Jersey]

KEEP ROLLIN' ROLLIN' ROLLIN' ROLLIN'

That would’ve popped all of us AE Fans.

 

[ThEmB0neZ]

Biker taker obviously isn't better then OG deadman Taker but my god his return at Judgement Day 2000 was one of the greatest Taker memories I have.

 

[Crona]

Biker taker is fun and obviously closer to the real Taker than the zombie mortician, but there's something about a 60-year-old biker dude having rap-rock for an entrance theme that is.... off.
