Guest Report post Posted April 17, 2002 Hey Smarks... Your favourite Australian Taker Mark received his monthly 'Austar' TV guide today (Our 'cable' guide, for all you yanks, canucks and assorted others out there) and it had a poster advertising Judgement Day. Now we all know that promotional posters can mean MANY things...BUT on the front of the poster is... THE UNDERTAKER! The poster reads "The Judge, The Jury...AND THE EXECUTIONER!" Could this mean my man Taker will run down Austin at Lashing of the Back? LET'S HOPE SO! This has been a very happy Taker Mark...hoping to see Mean Mark main-eventing Judgement Day...TWO YEARS IN A ROW! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mystery Eskimo Report post Posted April 17, 2002 Well it would make sense for him to beat Austin so they can have a face/heel match at Judgement Day. That's presuming HHH dosn't turn at Backlash, anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well if you ask me, i would think Hogan might win...and HHH kick the crap out of him in a fit of rage afterwards with help from the Order...that or Trippers gets help from the nWo to kill off Hulkamania...or i could be wrong altogether... This has been the Taker Mark...who doesn't care who wins, as long as Taker is in the main event Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mystery Eskimo Report post Posted April 17, 2002 Who will win, HHH or Hogan...imagine the influence each of them is trying to exert over the writers *right now*! I expect Terry is bringing Steph flowers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Hogan Made Wrestling Report post Posted April 17, 2002 Judgment day always seems to be "the Taker's PPV". Even if he's not wrestling in the main event, he's involved with the show and in particular the advertising. It makes sense given his character that they would use him in the promotional material.

Guest Zack Malibu Report post Posted April 17, 2002 I think Hogan will win somehow at Backlash, setting up an Undertaker/Hogan match. Hogan needs that job from '91 back, don'tcha know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest KANE Report post Posted April 18, 2002 Hogan doesn't need a job back from Taker, he got it 5 days after the loss. I don't think there's ever been a person Hogan lost to that he never beat before. (not even Rock, and Yokozuna never counted...Hogan beat him at WM IX). I would have loved Warrior to have that distinction, but he just had to show up at WCW. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest evenflowDDT Report post Posted April 18, 2002 I would have loved Warrior to have that distinction, but he just had to show up at WCW. Didn't Hogan pull strings to get Warrior back for the sole purpose of returning that job? Or is that just another smark rumor? Anyway, as for Undertaker, "Judgment Day" definitely fits his character, so it makes sense. As long as Austin vs. Undertaker is a good match, I suppose I really don't mind Undertaker going over. Then again, there are also times where the poster has nothing to do with the PPV (remember HHH on the Vengeance poster? or Lita/Torrie on the Survivor Series poster?).

Guest Report post Posted April 18, 2002 I think Hogan will win somehow at Backlash, setting up an Undertaker/Hogan match. Hogan needs that job from '91 back, don'tcha know. KANE is right, at Tuesday in Texas (I THINK) Hogan reclaimed the title he lost to The Undertaker... And even if this were the case, Hogan would be a fool to think that he deserves to win against the Taker because he jobbed to him years ago as Taker is, as noted by the WWF on multiple occasions, the locker room leader. Getting on the Taker's bad side would get Hogan in more trouble than good. This has been the Taker Mark...respecting The Undertaker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Getting on the Taker's bad side would get Hogan in more trouble than good. Meh. I think Mark wouldn't mind TOO much to job once for Hogan in a non-title match, especially while playing the heel, but I'm remaining optimistic that Vince isn't so insane as to give Hulk the belt. The problem for 'Taker is there's not much direction for him on the Raw roster assuming he loses at Backlash, unless they put him in a temporary pact with the nWo to feud with Bradshaw. All in all, UT is a guy who's still waiting for Just The Right Guy to put over. Hopefully in the future that guy will be Lesnar? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, if Taker should put over anyone, it should be a young, hungry up and coming superstar, just like the Undertaker once was (of course now, he just plain rules). I have to agree with you that a wrestler which fits this description quite nicely is Brock Lesnar...he is intense and ALREADY over...so hell, if Taker believes Brock has what it takes to truly MAKE it, then im sure he'll pass some of his red hot flame down to him.

Guest Mystery Eskimo Report post Posted April 18, 2002 It'd be nice if Taker did put over Lesnar. I don't see it happening for a while yet though, I don't think UT will even job to Austin at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted April 18, 2002 It'd be nice if Taker did put over Lesnar. I don't see it happening for a while yet though, I don't think UT will even job to Austin at the moment. Well, i don't think Taker is a bitter wrestler who refuses to job to anyone because HE IS the Undertaker. Taker has always been willing to do as he was told by the booker, thats probably why he is so respected (that and the fact he has remained loyal to the WWF for over 10 years). I believe that Austin has had his time in the spotlight for a while, i mean he main-evented No Way Out with a title shot, so i believe Taker should be the guy used next in the main-event contingent of the WWF...wether he be the champion or not is another matter, but like it or not, Taker deserves to be in the main event of every pay-per view, if he so desires. This has been the Taker Mark...who hopes Mark kills Hulkamania Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mystery Eskimo Report post Posted April 18, 2002 but like it or not, Taker deserves to be in the main event of every pay-per view, if he so desires. Um...well, he's over, I'll give him that. But *every* main event? Scary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But *every* main event? Scary. Okay, point taken... Taker may NOT be EVERY fans idea of the greatest of all time, and i'd be the first to admit Taker on every PPV would be a stupid thing to do, i am just saying that due to what he has done for the business and wrestling in general, he deserves every ounce of respect he gets...because TAKER IS THE MAN!
