AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2003 Well, neither Flair or Taker have about 40 extra pounds of water weight. Because they don't need it, and neither does Trips. Of course, if we discount the theory that Trips is on roids but his body can't handle it, then there's something else causing all the muscle-related injuries. Regardless, Trips has no reason to look the way he does. His ring style doesn't require him to be bulky and muscular. It's just the style of a poor man's Ric Flair, and doesn't have a lot of power moves mixed in which would at least justify his appearance. Plus, he was fine in 99/00 anyway. Plus, at least in UT's case, he is much smarter about time off. Remember a few years ago he had the groin trouble. Instead of rushing back to protect a spot, he took a few months off to rest it and I don't recall hearing problems about it since. Well, Taker has built up a lot of good will and respect with Vince from working with him for so long. On the other hand, HHH isn't as secure and is always paranoid about anyone that might show up to take his spot. So him taking time off to shoot movies surprises me--but I guess he figures his position is secured at the altar. I have no interest in him at all, but if marrying Steph will cause him to be less paranoid and more motivated in helping out his opponents, then I can put up with him for the year or so longer he'll be around until he's forced to retire from all the accumulated injuries.

AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2003 UnderKirby I was thinking more of Buu. However, if Dragon shows up after this, we know he just regurgitated him so he's not dead or anything. UnderKirby would only be able to hold one Cruiser and his set of skills at a time, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2003 Well, Nathan Jones' only trace of existence is appearing in the S.D.! opening, and sightings from terrified fans who have seen him here and there (probably developmentals). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the pinjockey 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2003 Maybe that is why we haven't seen Jones. In preparation for the return of the deadman gimmick, UT has Jones locked in a closet, ready to eat to get rid of all traces of workrate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lightning Flik 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2003 This is all very confusing. Meh. It's easy. KirbyTaker ate the "evil" Ultimo and assumed his powers to fight for the good of the wrestling world against Brockzilla. A mighty class ensued and although Brockzilla got the upperhand over KirbyTaker because of King Vinny-Vinny managing to distract our hero; KirbyTaker managed to make a hasty retreat to where he'll regurgitate Ultimo and then probably gobble up London (Paul, not the city) and then bring King Vinny-Vinny down. Edit: Of course, King Vinny-Vinny wins another round but after SurvivorSeries, KirbyTaker will eat Nathan Jones and THEN~! Hell comes back as KirbyTaker no sells everything to destroy King Vinny-Vinny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisMWaters 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2003 Oh, just had an intersting thought. What if, insted of returning to full classic Taker, he has a mix of classic, demonic, and biker Undertaker? He dresses like a more modernized Classic Undertaker... Has music and lighting effects of demonic Taker (the theme that he had on WWF Music Volume 3 works) And the motorcycle and workrate of current Taker? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest TheGame2705 Report post Posted October 20, 2003 I think a modernized version of the Undertaker look would be badass. It'd also justify his name.

Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted October 21, 2003 Besides Taker had what ONE good match as the dead Man? (I count 90-96 as the real DEADMAN) the 97-99 stuff he was just a demonic soap opera character... I'll take the MMA Influenced American Badass over that. Just as long as he keeps eating cruiserweights for lunch. Ok, did you consider the types of opponents he had during that era? He isn't Flair, Choken. You've got Giant Gonzalez, Kamala, an unmotivated Hogan, Mabel, Damien Demento, Yokozuna, and the entire Million Dollar Coporation. I'd love to see a return to the Deadman character we saw from late 1996 to late 1998. He was still the Deadman, albeit a more "realistic" one. I don't get all the love for Taker all of a sudden. I give him props for trying to create a moveset, but people are suddenly acting like he's the mold for what every wrestler should be just because he's breaking out a couple new moves.
