Rumor Has It...

[bigtaker2]

Acording to www.wrestlenewz.com The Undertaker may return with the ABA gimmick.

Which is why "If I Lose I Retire", "If I Lose I Leave WWE", etc storys don't work because they all return.

so far. i'm sure he'll wrestle a match again at some point. he'll do like Foley and wrestle the occasional tag match at a big show.

How was it bad?

Really, I think it was one of the best.

But, if 'Taker returns like that, I think he would be using his motorcycle and that, so what would happen with Chuck Palumbo?

From wrestlenewz.com

- There is a long-term storyline for The Undertaker's return to be part of a key angle with Edge. There doesn't appear to be an exact time frame for his return, but it isn't supposed to be a lengthy sabbatical.

The Undertaker leaving was something kept from the creative team until the addition of the pay-per-view stipulation was announced for his match with Edge at One Night Stand. Vince McMahon himself didn't want to do an injury angle to avoid giving the perception that The Dead Man is breaking down.

There have been rumors going around the net that Taker would be returning with his American Badass gimmick but from what we've heard so far, that's not in the plans.

Thank god... not only did i dislike it (don't get me wrong... it was a great gimmick and Taker was exceptional at it... i'll just always be a 'deadman' guy) but it wouldn't make sence for him to go back

i could do without him yelling out the moves he was doing.

I actually rather see that then the deadman gimmick anymore, because it may have been good 10 or 11 years ago, it's just now times have changed from then and when he came back as the deadman really didnt seem to work as good as it once was maybe the 1st year or so, but after awhile it got stale.

[Deleted]

I loved the ABA gimmick, one thing I have against it coming back, is that Taker is starting to bald a bit, if I'm not mistaken, and short hair would look pretty bad

[jomoishollywood]

Deadman = Predictability

Ugh...

They would tag up as the Devils Angles.. lmao i crack myself up.... I hope Vince dont read this

I liked the ABA thing. Those were the best theme songs. (Limp Bizkit and Kid Rock) The Dead Man gimmick is getting old. It's a 15 minute ring entrance and a 10 second match most of the time.

[The Mountain King]

picture it...edge in the ring...back in black starts playing..holy jesus!

[King Bálor (CM)™]

I'd like to see original deadman come back. No ABA and no ing MMA Taker. I want old grey gloves, long black trench, no talking, etc. Basically bring back CSTT 4 Taker w/Paul Bearer.

[TeamExtreme718x]

Hell yea..I hope this comes together..

[Hammersmith Hardman]

I'd like him to comback as a inbetween of ABA & the Deadman gimmick. (Similar to around August 1999 - September 1999). He still had the dark look but wore ABA style clothes.
