Any reports on how he did in the ring?
The hair is the main thing making him look bad, Taker coming in like this is like if Hogan shaved his head and stache. he doesn't need hair to wrestle, no but it is apart of his character and if he is going to bother to stick around, at least grow it out between Wrestlemanias

So many of you guys are bummed that Taker came back, but I'm ecstatic. I'm going to Mania this year, and I can't wait to see him perform on the grandest stage of all.

Bit of a tum, but I seem to remember he had much that same in his last WrestleMania match. Can't tell from the low-def shots whether he's bald or just with a close crop. Either which way: Still care. Still stoked about the Undertaker.

I'm now picturing Taker with a Hogan do... It's unsettling.

Having a horseshoe ring of hair Hogan-style could work for Taker, I think.
Great to see him back. If Taker can STILL WALK ON THE FREAKIN ROPES he can still go. John Cena can't walk on the ropes(or even run them, really...ba-zing!) and you're not all clamoring for his retirement(yeah yeah yeah I already know eveyone's counterargument to that one).
I hope Taker drops as much pudge as he can between now and Mania. This really wouldn't feel like Mania to me without Taker. Now he just needs a more credible/imposing opponent than Punk, like Ryback or Sheamus or Brock.

I'm not a fan of Stone Cold Steve Taker.

Yeah he looks pretty bad. It'll be interesting to see what he does on Raw though, assuming he makes an appearance.

I still mark for Taker, but a big part of the character is how intimidating he is. A pudgy, bald old man in spandex doesn't look intimidating to me.
If he went back to something like a cross between his BikerTaker look and his '97-'98 attire I think he would look a whole lot better.

Yeah, if he was wearing a top like his 1998 attire, something loose that covered from the shoulder to shoulder and neck to waist he'd look fine. The singlet looks kinda rough. I'd mark if he came back in classic gear, grey gloves and all.

Yea, but even as bad as it looked, if I were Vince I would make him keep it for the character's sake

This should be his last WM, I don't care about the next one being 30 or XXX, he's looking pretty bad.

I'd mark if he came back in classic gear, grey gloves and all. Exactly. IIRC he switched to singlets as he was tired of wearing the bulkier gear all the time. If he's only back for a few appearances where he doesn't wrestle and one match at Mania, it shouldn't be a problem.

He looks rough. I hope punk bests him and puts him out of his misery. The only other match worth watching in would be against sting and stif would dominate him. He needs to give it up. yeah...Punk beating Taker at Wrestlemania has about as much chance of happening as me winning the 2014 Royal Rumble and then beating John Cena/The Rock/Whoever in a squash match at Wrestlemania

somewhere Teddy long is doing the Teddy dance at the thought of being able to tell Booker T that he can start sending people to go "One on one wit da Undahtakah playa!" if they give him any attitude.
