Undertaker fan here. This is probably the only forum in the whole world where I can make such an admission.

Oh, you should make it elsewhere just to give people an unrest cure.

It doesn't even matter how old The Undertaker is. He's already dead. Multiple times over. He can also fly and shoot electricity from his fingers and has a mysterious army of hooded druids who serve at his whim^*. It's a wonder that he could ever lose any match, much less one of such historical importance. I suspect all of the losses he's taken in his storied career have merely been the result of him becoming bored and losing interest in a match, like those 10 games the 1996 Chicago Bulls lost.

I don't know, Undertaker's kinda flip flopped on the whole "dead man" thing over the years.  He had that biker persona for a while, and they worked his very not-undead wife into an angle once.   Then there was that time they tried to capitalize on The Sopranos' success by making him a schlubby New Jersey mob boss.  They gave "Paulie Bearer" wingtips and everything.

I love old school wrestling and i've been meaning to start watching again.

They actually released some pretty great anthologies the last couple years.  They have Wrestlemania, Royal Rumble, and SummerSlam sets that have the entire PPV broadcasts.  Netflix has the Wrestlemania and Royal Rumble sets. The Wrestlemania one has I-2004, Royal Rumble has '88-'07.  They've also released a lot of wrestler-specific DVDs that have some great matches.

I pretty much stopped paying attention a few years ago because it was too depressing watch them trot out the broken down old stars but I definitely have a soft spot for the older stuff.  Undertaker better win, I don't see any point in him losing now.

When I saw the title of this thread I thought jokingly, this is probably about the Undertaker's Wrestlemania win streak. Imagine my surprise when I was right. I'm rooting for 'Taker. Michaels hasn't been interested since he became a born-again Christian.

i confess to find WWF produced documentaries terribly, terribly addictive.

Well, looking at his stats his power is excellent, though his speed is lacking.  I think we must give the nod to 'Taker, because his fav. quote is pretty spooky.

[samir]

i LOVE that i knew what this thread would be about just from the subject line.

my fave 'taker moment: when he fought himself, summerslam 94.

[emma]

I have no idea what any of you are talking about but this thread is fantastic.

I love the tagline to Undertakers mid-90's match against I.R.S.: "Death vs. Taxes!"

[Sam]

A lot of his opponents have had to shop for coffins...

Actually, Undertaker's favorite quote is "That's your happiness... and my ha-penis" from Last Tango in Paris, but I guess that didn't fit on screen.

Maybe in the PS3 games they can finally start getting these things right.

The WWE needs to bring back the Corporate Ministry.
