Missed opportunity for classic WWE "comedy" if hornswoggle was still around.

I've never hated this idea, but I doubt 100% the WWE's ability to pull it off correctly.

You know what, f*** it id be down. Not "Undertaker" exactly but a similar character with a sort of similar look but it's own original features.
A new Kane, sort of just not in relation either dude, just kinda walking in his footsteps.
It would take a damn good performer though. And damn good booking. And maybe Takers eventual endorsement in some way.
I like "dark" characters. I don't want them to die out with Taker and Brays gonna Bray, so..

Lol, okay Apter. Man, I can only imagine what a company with his booking would look like, or was that actually a thing? On a serious note, if they really want to turn Roman heel, this is an opportunity ala Punk dressing up as Jeff Hardy after he left.

Nope, also because the character started in the kayfabe era, and was able to last through this ear; any new guy with magic powers(see Wyatt, Bray) will be shit on.

Kane, because it's the closest thing to the absorbing Ric Flairs powers meme we're likely to get.

I mean, if you want to get bonkers with it... You have a guy who decides he's looking for these relics of a wrestler long past. He travels to Death Valley in search of the rumored items. There's a warning that when worn, will then have to carry the burden of the Undertaker for at least 27 years.

I always thought they could expand on the history of Kane and Undertaker to introduce a new character but it is long past that point in time.

No, because te WWE can't book big men strongly for any length of time, there's always some dumb comedy nonsense around the corner, or a clean job to a main event face in a short match. Also the way the WWE is now, they're not going to protect a guy for ten years until they start having good matches in their own right.

Reigns does a "CM Punk plays Jeff Hardy" for the nuclear heat reaction of the millennium.

They have a supernatural character, or at least one who channels one from time to time. The only problem is that not everybody wants to see that character more regularly than on pay-per-views, and the logistics of creating that character really prevent it from being brought out every week. Then, of course, there's the small matter of how he looks out of the bodypaint, as well as that the marketing is offering both looks. The strength of his character, though, is in the story yet untold and in the myriad tendrils of narrative playing out in the heads of fans.
The Wyatts are another group, touching on elements of the supernatural, whose story should have been told more consistently and better. Who are these people, and who the f*** is Sister Abigail? They're not utterly unsalvageable, but reviving their narrative fortunes will be a challenge. In both cases, writing storylines will require someone with a lot of knowledge about the source material from which the characters are drawn, the imagination to take each into new directions, and the courage to defend it all against the forces that would see any of it buried for the sake of expediency or in the name of pushing someone at their expense.

How to introduce a new Undertaker. Step 1: Undertaker kidnaps Roman during an interview. Step 2: Undertaker tortures Roman for 12 weeks worth of segments. Step 3: Roman is buried alive. Step 4: Baron Corbin becomes the new Undertaker.

No, Reigns didn't need the hat and coat but damn, why not let him beat the Undertaker with the Tombstone and use it as his finish going forward?

Probably because it'd likely take about four weeks of dropping people on their heads before Roman killed someone with it. Dude isn't that strong and seems kind of clumsy.

I've been saying since WM that I want Reigns to start wearing Taker's hat and coat if they ever turn him. Shit would be hilarious.
