What were people's thoughts on this? The David Flair beatdown seemed to be a bit much with sadly no payoff at Wrestlemania X-8. The build seemed a little disjointed at first.

I liked that Ric was denying him the match. And man, I really couldn’t tell at the time, but Taker was doing some got-damn good character work during this.
I still find the David Flair beatdown unintentionally hilarious. Camera just snooping on FUTURE PROSOECT DAVID FLAIR training when Taker decides to creep in and nearly murder him. The “don’t you have a sister?” Line is venomous too. Surprised Charlotte never went after Mark for that shit.

Did Paul London get punched in this storyline or was it the McMahon feud?

Big Evil Taker is one of those things I couldn't appreciate at the time because I was a kid and still very markish, but enjoy now as an adult. He was such a piece of shit. 😂

David: *beaten and breathless* "What are you doing?
Taker: "What am I doing?!? I'm kicking your ass!"

Taker was MVP of 2002, IMO, and this is coming from someone who desperately wanted him off my TV for most of the previous 10 years. He actually made me nervous as the cruel bully who would cross any line there was to terrorize his enemies.

Was hilarious in the David Flair beatdown segment when Undertaker scared away the trainees at the performance center & they scattered like Cockroaches.
& who could forget.
Tom Prichard: Hey Taker you gotta S.. (Gets punched)
Undertaker: Back off Prichard!!
Heel Big Evil Undertaker was awesome in Early 2002

Big Evil Taker was awesome. 2001 was an awful year for him but once he turned heel that December, he took off in a positive direction in my opinion.

My favourite line during the Match at Mania, a fan shouts out where's Arn and Taker shouts back - he's with your mother

It had holes but Taker was amazing. I laugh every time I see the one clip.
Taker walking backstage and ask some random guy.*
Taker: "Where's Ric Flair's Office?"
Guy looked in fear: "What?"
Taker: "Ric Flair!! The Co Owner of the Company!! Your Bos Boss!! Where is he?!?! His Office!!"
Guys tells him.
Taker: "WHAT THAT SO HARD?"
*Taker walks off camera.*
Taker: "DAMN!!

This Taker is the best Taker. And the match is one of my favourites by either man, and I don't like much of either's work
