A Mythological Storyline theory

[Guest Trivia247]

As Rumors go the booking of Mordechai to Undertaker is pretty much the Upcoming Religious geek is gonna get squashed by the Taker. Which is why they are throwing cruiserweights at Mordechai to create the illusion of him being big and powerful against people 100 pounds lighter than he.

 

They Build on Mordechai in the vingnettes as for people here to make the comparisions of him and the Undertaker. But in reality the way the Taker's new gimmick is structured anyone facing him will get chewed up. So why feed a new talent to the Taker to be destroyed? There are weaker rumors goes that Fertig's charisma that he cultivated in OVW is seriously downgraded in the creation of Mordechai.

 

Its almost obvious that the first meeting of the Undertaker vs Mordechai will be Taker beating him. Size wise Taker is what 6'7 to 6'9 and Mordechai the NEXT Taker as people proclaim is like 6'3 barely the size of your average wrestler. However I think the feud won't end with that one loss. If you go by the dramatically overly written mythology of the Undertaker saga... A character like Mordechai a mythological Avenger of God wouldn't just let a "Undead" Monster like the Undertaker still stalk the world. So I could see a storyline that develops that is long term until the end of the Undertaker's character in the WWE.

 

Imagine the characters that were created just to deal with the Undertaker at his level of mythological storyline. Kane (Glen Jaccobs best gimmick) the Fire burned (Or so he thought) Scarred demon from Hell. Mankind a derranged creature that lived in the darkness of a forgotten Insane Asylum somewhere in Parts unknown... the Executioner (Terry Gordy) A Short lived character that was brought in by Paul Bearer. And those side characters they never had a direct link to the Taker except for perhaps a match or two with no storyline.. Papa Shango, Similar, Jake Roberts heel turn where he became a slight more devilish persona who unleashes cobras on people. Damien Demento A gimmick that never quite lifted off. And of course they created a whole stable of wrestlers for the Undertaker. Wrestlers with basic gimmicks was given a different slant in the Ministry, the Acolytes, Mideon, Viscera, even the Brood's induction in the Stable.

 

my theory.

Mordechai has a first match with the Undertaker, for most of the match he does hold his own, and does no sell some of Taker's work but is of course overwhelmed and loses. However Mordechai is not done with the Taker, because it is his holy crusade to destroy the Undertaker once and for all. So Mordechai starts a stable, and spends storylines trying to "Convert" wrestlers, people who are mid to low card range who are on WWE Contract but is not used that much. Mordechai then unleashes his stable one guy by one against the Undertaker. Of course Taker defeats each guy. But the feud lasts for a long duration Until Mordechai meets the Undertaker in some sort of Gimmick match and with his entire stable Mordechai finally defeats the Undertaker. Taker of course comes back and wrecks another month or so of havoc on Mordechai and his converted stable. So Mordechai calls for one last match, one where it ends (in different terminology) Loser leave town. Taker loses it in no matter however means it takes, he then does some sort of speech on Smackdown, or hell Raw by then it doesn't much matter. Taker's star falls and Mordechai goes on.

 

But reality is.

 

Mordechai runs in beats on Cruiserweights, meets the Taker jobs and will be on Velocity beating down Paul London.

Maybe they should have a Mormon wrestler who tries to convert everyone to being missionaries...give him one of those wacky Mormon names like LaKrebs or Brigham J. Kimball.

and have seven or eight wives...oops valets

Mordecai is a home-grown stud. I doubt they'll kill him off like that.

 

But I can see this kind of angle happening, and it would make sense. Gives lower-card guys stuff do to. However, I don't see Mordecai being a Velocity guy mainly for the factor I mentioned above. I could be wron,g but the track record for OVW guys who are stuck in Velocity hell are The Bashams & Orlando Jordan, and none of them are serious threats to anyone but viewers.

Reading over that note about Mordecai's height...I'll say it again:

 

Foley was only 6'2" tall, and his feud with Undertaker was believable and worked well.

 

Height should not be a factor.

[Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes]

Let's not forget Austin, who probably has the 2nd best record ever vs. Taker, is only 6'0'' or so.

there is differences however between the characters. If people anywhere are touting Mordechai as the New Undertaker, then height will be a factor when you put one against the other. Mankind success wasn't about height but Mandible claw and the derrangeness of his personna and the latent Cactus Jack ability to just absorb pain.

 

And its not about who wins against Taker more than who is taking his place in Dominance

I think they learned their lesson on Mormon gimmicks with the RTC... well, I guess not exactly, but if they were, I would've marked out for Steven Richards coming out with a bike helmet on!

My Theory...

 

The spirits which inhabit Undertaker and Mordecai are as old as the shadows themselves. As man was being created by the higher power (Vince McMahon, hence the name "Man"), they - the Lord of Darkness and the Shadowruler - were battling to gain leadership over the new souls being created. The spirit now known as the Undertaker won and banished Mordecai into "the light". There, the Shadowruler lost his darkpowers and for thousands of years suffered in his prison.

 

The Lord of Darkness took many forms over the years and ultimately chose the body of a 7 foot Undertaker/Wrestler to collect more souls, and figured the best way to do that was in a wrestling ring. However, by forces still unknown, The Shadowruler broke free from the light and found the body of a man whom the Undertaker buried long ago. Now, he returns to seek vengeance on the one whom stole his position as the taker of souls and with his new found power of light and power of hoss, Mordecai will take down the lord of darkness for good.

 

And they do not fight for bragging rights or a chance at the title; they fight for OUR very souls. However, Mordecais time in the prison of light gave him a chance to think things over; he realized that he didn't just hate the lord of darkness, but the souls he was fighting for as well. His never-ending rage drove him insane and if he wins, he will destroy all of OUR souls once he takes over.

God....damn. If you go through this trouble for internet marks, you should apply for a position on the writing team in WWE.

 

Sadly, your IQ would probably be too high (45 or lower required) and thus will need to find other work.

well the IQ isn't the issue RRR really brought out a great dramatic storyline and I cameup with a halfway decent one. But the only requirement we would have as storyline writers would be...

 

Yes McMahon that is a good idea...

I also came up with a kick-ass long term storyline between Chris Benoit and Edge. Now, if only Vince would see how good our booking is, and how bad his staff's is.

RANDOM CREATIVE GUY: Hey, I came up with a brilliant plan to feud Taker and Mordecai!

 

TAKER: I want to pin him in 3 minutes.

 

RCG: I'll get back to you on that.

 

VINNY MAC: That's brilliant! No one will expect such a quick victory by Taker! The fans will love it!

 

RCG: Yeah, anyway, like I was saying, there's this great supernatural force...

 

TAKER: Did you see how I beat down Kane at Wrestlemania? The fans loved it!

 

RCG: Mordecai and Taker will be feuding over the very essence of...

 

VINNY MAC: Maybe we should get the druids back.

 

RCG: I quit.

 

TAKER: Who was that guy, anyway?

 

VINNY MAC: Who cares? Anyway, so you'll be spending 15 minutes each Smackdown! episode walking to the ring to get the audience hyped...

 

TAKER: Sounds about right. Now, what about my raise?

[Guest Ubermark]

The last PPV was the first time I'd ever heard of him. He didn't seem all that comfortable and a little under-comitted. The schtick looked good, if I suss out the point. Did he come out of OVW?

[Guest Quik]

I think Rico should feud with Undertaker. Then UT can no-sell the kisses and ass-smacking. Maybe Mordecai could feud with Rico and call hi ma sinner or something. I dunno, this feud should really be about burning "symbols" and sacrficies, though.
