Come to think of it when Ricochet threatens people it does sound like he's threatening people with a knuckle supper.

It's pretty funny that they keep trying to make another the occult guy in the mould of Taker, but apparently they also keep forgetting that Taker worked because he was silent for like 95% of the time.

My Lovely Horse posted:Love it lol, this reminds me of Papa Shango inexplicably running in to interfere in the main event of WM8. My memory might have failed but I don't remember him having anything to do with Sid/Hogan. Then the run-in was mis-timed likely due to the aisle being so loving long and he didn't make it in time making Sid have to kick out of the legdrop. What a moment!

This, and also it was like an event if Taker lost. At least for the first few years. Like the first two losses I remember is Hogan being a dick and throwing the urn's ashes in Taker's face, and him facing Yoko and literally every heel in the company came down to beat him up and literally kill him. Aside from that he was just destroying folks week after week.

There's also the fact that Taker was a 6 foot 9 impressive specimen, and Aleister Black is just ... some guy. Same problem with Bray Wyatt. Chubby dude in a Hawaiian shirt is not awe inspiring

Astro7x posted:I get what you mean, but the “property of” shirts originated because in the 1930s USC football players were literally stealing the workout t-shirts because they liked them, so the school put “property of” on them to deter theft because it was the shirt that belonged to the school, not the person. Then it sort of took off as a sports team thing. Yeah, its such an ingrained part of sports that I have high school gym shirts that say "Property of".

In comparison, what's the thing with the Fiend, he's Mr. Rogers except creepy except really creepy and unbeatable until someone beats him, then he gets a lackey and is set on fire and returns and is betrayed by his lackey, all in the span of two years, and his backstory such as it is is a collection of arbitrary creepy soundbites engineered to be exactly ominous enough to make internet lorehounds lose their minds and drive up engagement numbers in that segment.

Also, The Undertaker was super simple. "This spooky guy is huge, and he doesn't feel pain, he might be dead maybe?" Every attempt to have a character like him afterwards has been overly complicated. Big guy beats everyone, feels no pain, can't be stopped. That works.

Aside from that he was just destroying folks week after week. Taker debuted in 1990 and it took half a decade for the WWF to make him losing not that huge of a deal (KOTR '95 loss against loving Mabel put that to bed for good IMO). It took WWE....a couple months with the Fiend. Really just two PPVs, even though he technically didn't lose that HIAC match against Seth.

She hasn't got the same winning streak, but the closest thing to a modern OG Taker that I've seen is pretty clearly Abadon from AEW.

My Lovely Horse posted:That and it was just the early 90s plus they stuck to his character and didn't switch up his backstory every few weeks to try and chase audience numbers and ~swerve~ the audience, they kept it stable for six-seven years at "creepy unbeatable grim reaper figure", gave him a bunch of varied feuds during that time, and only then switched it up with Paul Bearer and Kane and all. The Undertaker's backstory changed all the time for the first few years. Kane didn't come around until the Undertaker had been around for 7 years.

Here's a crazy thought What if Aleister Black just wrestled on TV and won matches? Maybe then he might get over and we don't have to pretend this lore poo poo is good. Alas, we can't think of any other ideas
