Were you happy to see Taker?

["Gizzark" Mike Wronglevenay]

So, despite only seeing him once a year normally, I have been sick of Taker more or less since he beat Edge at Mania, especially since he stopped having good matches circa 2014.

So I wouldn't be happy seeing him show up at the best of times, especially looking older than the concept of time itself, nutshotting my favourite active wrestler and ruining a title match I wanted to see less than nine minutes in.

Were you happy to see him? If so, was that because of, or despite his actions when he arrived? Were you unhappy, and if so, was it because of his actions?

[g1megatronfan]

No.

I got bored with his act a while ago. I can honestly say I was never a huge fan to begin with so to see him back...ugh. I could have done without it.

[Gravedigger's Biscuits]

Yes, because it creates interesting TV.

WWE can't book the new talent anymore, they haven't been able to for about 8 years. The nostalgia acts are the only guys who are given anything interesting these days.

[britstap]

Honestly no. I'm not a fan of the "Working 1-3 times a year" Crew, period. I appreciate Taker for everything he's done over his career, but I personally have had my fill.

As a huge Brock mark who was looking forward to this match for months, I have to say it was very underwhelming. However, given ten more minutes, a Rollins fightback and more variation of Brock's moveset it could have been great. However, Undertaker ruined it. I'm sorry but he looks 60, although admittedly he looks beefier and in better shape than the skinny undertaker that was at Mania 30. I just didn't want him there and wanted some kind of decisive end to the Rollins Lesnar programme. I also don't need Bork losing to Taker, but whatever, I'm taking this shizz too seriously.

[lionheart21]

As someone who wanted Taker to retire after Brock beat him, hell no.

[StuntGranny®]

No. I'm a huge Undertaker fan, but it felt weird and out of place.

It also didn't help that I wanted to see Lesnar finally kick the shit out of Rollins. They've been building to this point since Mania and it wasn't worth a damn.

[barelybeastmode]

No. A thousand times no.

And it doesn't appear to be doing him any favors either. Those tombstones were weak, his knees were shaking on both and he was limping up the ramp.
And through it all Brock looked like a bitch.

Terrible.

[Kevin Hamilton]

Nope; 30 shoulda been the end

[amethyst]

They could have at least made it interesting, have Sting come out and take out Rollins, only for the lights to go out and Taker take out Lesnar and then have both Taker and Sting eyeball each other in the distance with Sting pointing his bat at Taker and Taker responding with the thumb across the throat.

[Deleted]

No. I like Taker but as soon as the gong hit I knew we were in for yet another crappy finish.

[Eunös ✈]

soon as the gong hit... Eh whatever.

I loved Undertaker back in his prime but as this point he just looks like a shell of his former self.

[A Platypus Rave]

eh, I'm always happy to see Taker.

Not that I really want to see him face Lesnar again.

[Malcolm]

Yes because I'm one of the few people on this forum who does not like Brock Lesnar.

[Jeff Mangum PI]

The whole Bray Wyatt "feud" really soured me on him. I still like him but at this point it's not that big of a deal to see him pop up anymore.

[Mister Pigwell]

My desire to ever see him again died with the streak. Not just because the gimmick died (which I still say shouldn't have) but because his streak of great matches once a year died in it too.

The mystique is gone.

If Taker's mystique is gone, then dammit he's taking Brock's mystique down with him!

[MichaelMartini]

No, I love the guy but it's time to hang it up. He debuted in 1984, with WWF in 1990. He had an amazing run but it looks like father time has finally caught up to him. He looks older than 50 these days. Looks like he's aged an extra ten years in two years, and that's without the travelling. Sorry to say but he looks like a broken down old man. I have no interest in Brock/Taker at SS or even Taker/Sting at Mania.

[sportatorium]

Not under the circumstances at all.

[Bo Rida]

No. WWE have finally managed to turn me against a guy who has been one of my favourites for over two decades, although to be fair I've been heading that way since before WM30.

I hated the way the streak ended but was willing to go along with putting everything into Brock so whoever beat him cleanly would be a made man. Undertaker getting his win back would seriously undermine that yet I don't want him to lose to Brock (and certainly don't want that to be his last match).
Hell their last match was f***ing awful so I don't even want to see them wrestle.

They've created a situation which doesn't appear to have a positive outcome.

I probably would have been happy to see Undertaker under different circumstances, a feud with a disrespectful Owens may have worked well.
