Vapor Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Inspired by the Hogan topic, thought this would be really interesting since Undertaker's had so many different personas and looks. What is your favorite Undertaker? Here are some Taker eras: WESTERN MORTICIAN Time: '90-'93 Characteristics: mullet, very pale skin, sometimes had a black crow with him. ORIGINAL DEADMAN Time: '93-'96 Characteristics: started wearing purple or blue gloves and a matching tie. LORD OF DARKNESS Time: '96-'99 Characteristics: got more tattoos, sometimes had a teardrop painted below his eye, ditched the purple colors and the tie. MINISTRY Time: '99 Characteristics: grew a longer goatee, often had a cross design in his outfits, sometimes had cool leather bat wings, became more Satanistic and sometimes even sacrificed people. AMERICAN BAD ASS Time: '00-'02 Characteristics: became much more human, no more lights dimming and superpowers, rode a motorcycle to the ring, started wearing bandannas and sunglasses. BIG EVIL Time: '02-'03 Characteristics: was often heel, rode a motorcycle to the ring, wore bandannas, sunglasses and sometimes hoodies, sometimes carried a biker chain with him. HYBRID DEADMAN Time: '04-'05 Characteristics: the superpowers returned, began wearing long leather jackets and a cowboy hat, but in the beginning, had a Big Evil-era bandanna under his cowboy hat, began growing his hair. THE DEADMAN Time: '05-'11 Characteristics: the Hybrid Deadman formed into a complete Deadman with superpowers, long leather jackets and cowboy hats. This era is in-ring prime Undertaker. DEFENDING THE STREAK Time: '11 -present (?) Characteristics: shaved mohawk hair, less muscular physique, spiked hooded leather jacket, had a Ministry-era goatee during his feud with Lesnar.

Lyriqz ✪ Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 I liked them all tbh. I think Bad Ass was overall the coolest but I also liked the classic Undertaker with the purple gloves and tie. Hybrid Deadman has delivered the best matches, easily and is my third choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
μndrey Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Love all of them, but I love Ministry Undertaker most, he crucified people, was going to stab Austin in the heart, was going to forcefully marry Stephanie, he was the most evil son of a bitch around.

maskedmaniac Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Original gray gloves Undertaker, he was silent, and more importantly, Paul Bearer did the talking for him, plus the urn man, the urn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Ministry. He freaked me when I was kid, he was pure evil, he has the Ministry of Darkness. The man was a badass. We should totally do a topic like this for Cena. He's made so many character chang... oh, never mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vapor Posted July 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 I agreed with you guys, Taker hasn't had a single persona that I don't like, they're all great. After much thinking, I gotta say The Deadman ('05-'11) is my favorite, that's prime Taker for me. It's followed by the bad assness of ABA and Lord of Darkness. The first Taker persona Western Mortician is my least favorite, since not even Taker can make a curly ginger mullet intimidating. If I had to rank the Taker eras, I'd put them like this: 1. The Deadman 2. American Bad Ass 3. Lord of Darkness 4. Big Evil 5. Ministry 6. Hybrid Deadman 7. Defending the Streak 8. Original Deadman 9. Western Mortician I hope Kane is next Or Punk I actually thought about making a Kane one before this. I could definitely do it. Punk too. Kane could go like: Debut ('97-'99) Inverted ('99-'00) Brothers of Destruction ('00-02) Half mask ('02-'03) Unmasked psycho ('03-'04) Unmasked ('04-'11) Resurrected ('11-'13) Corporate ('13-'14) Current masked ('14 -present) And Punk could go: Straight Edge Superstar Straight Edge Savior Masked New Nexus Best in the World Buzzcut Heel Sideburns BITW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marco caesar Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Lord of Darkness for me. I was never a big fan of BikerTaker as it just seemed to come out of nowhere. All the other versions of the character seemed to be evoultions off of the original concept (with Lord of Darkness being that right blend of comic book brought to life and scary badass).

The Real J.J. Jones Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 While ABA doesn't fit the Undertaker name, I always liked the gimmick. I like Hybrid Deadman and The original Deadman gimmicks out of the more supernatural choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schizo Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Overall I enjoyed all his personas. I just wish he had better matches as Ministry Taker. That character was flawless but his matches as Ministry Taker were so bad at times. Like that horrible match with Shamrock at Backlash 99. He was mostly Austin's bitch during that era. But far as match quality I'd say his best persona is Streak Taker. Minus the one with Lesnar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
