Guest Rrrsh Report post Posted March 8, 2005 That sucked ass. Taker is juts an abortion as an actor. Hopefully they have 1 or 2 more left. That would be a shitty way to end it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vyce 0 Report post Posted March 8, 2005 Worse yet it had absolutely zero to do with Wrestlemania. All of the other promos - they had something to do with the PPV...or wrestling. Mentioned it, made wrestling references, etc. This was just Taker literally doing a scene from a Dirty Harry flick, and doing it very poorly. Just awful.

Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted March 8, 2005 It's strange when the Undertaker, isn't being the Undertaker. They also did the wrong "Do you feel lucky punk" scene. The one everyone remembers was at the end of the movie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

strummer 0 Report post Posted March 8, 2005 I'm pretty sure that was a *wink wink* *nudge nudge* reference, as the Undertaker gimmick was modeled after the old Undertakers in Clint Eastwood Westerns. That's where Patt Patterson originally got the idea for the character. This and the Pulp Fiction one have been the worst so far, although I didn't think it was that bad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Secret Agent 0 Report post Posted March 8, 2005 The acting wasn't that bad. It was just a bad script/idea to do a WM promo with. They should have done Regal in a James Bond spoof or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's where Patt Patterson originally got the idea for the character. I got that, but the spot just didn't work for me, and honestly how many people are even going to make that connection? His character makes more sense in a western context, and like someone said he's not a guy who should be breaking character. Something from GBU, Josie Wales or High Plains Drifter would have had the same effect, and been more in line with Taker's character. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted March 8, 2005 It wasn't so much Taker's fault though. He just literally did Dirty Harry with no spin on it to conform to WWE storylines. Cena/JBL at least did a storyline spin on Few Good Men and it was fun. With UT they just had him do the exact scene from Dirty Harry, I'm not sure what they were going for.

notJames 0 Report post Posted March 8, 2005 Sorry, but as bad as the Taker one was (and it was pretty damn bad), nothing was worse than the HHH one. Poor pacing, half-assed performances, and too much exceeding of the fourth wall. Just a bad idea all around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And since this wasn't funny, it had to be a good acting job for it too be good. JBL and Cena were very good at acting The rest were funny. Taker sucked ass.
