That's back whenever he really hooked me as a fan, as I first got into things in 1998 and from day one loved Taker the most, but looking back... Wow, during that stretch of time was his ring work crap. Firing on all cylinders besides that, though, including probably his most badass theme ever.

I liked the original Ministry Undertaker, didn't care so much for Corporate Ministry 'Taker (that theme song kicked all ass, though), and I honestly cannot remember much about Unholy Alliance 'Taker.
That theme song remains one of my favorites to this day.

Agreed, plus his theme songs during that time were all kickass!

The ministry formed when I was in 5th grade and I told my friend when I grew up I would look like taker at the time. To this day I still sport the long sideburns and the burly goatee. I had the long black hair but cut it almost like the biker taker cut. I've always been told I look like the undertaker by the scared little children and there frightened parents ( really happens ).
Something about that period of his career was just addicting. He was the epicenter of evil. The only thing I remember being pissed about was the corporate ministry. But it made sense, I get that now. The unholy alliance was a good pairing, badass theme music. But taker need a break at that point, I remeber him getting pretty chunky before taking a break.

I remember being a kid fascinated at his promos...and hoping that one day he'd just go into the crowd and punch one of those jackasses with the laser pointers.

Satanic cult leader Undertaker has always been "my" Undertaker and the only time I felt the character to be compelling. Yeah, it was pure cheese, but damn if 'Taker didn't excel in that gimmick. He was actually frightening and threatening, and I'll always look back on him stalking Stephanie with great fondness.

didn't he himself hate it though? I remember interviews saying that he only disliked the whole Corporate Ministry part Found a quote on it "The Ministry was kind of the last facet of the dark side stuff," Mark said. Capitalising on the soap opera-like feuds taking place within the McMahon family, the Ministry eventually joined Shane McMahon's Corporation, becoming the entity Corporate Ministry. "I'm not sure it was such a good idea to have the Ministry join with the Corporation," said Mark. "It was all about the McMahon's, and meant that the Undertaker was no longer leading the pack." |

I hated Ministry Taker during the initial run when I was 10-11 years old, but looking back at it now it was really well done. Everything after the Black Wedding sucked though.

The Ministry Taker was awesome.
The Corperate Ministry stuff was absolute garbage.

Taker's pre-ministry theme and Jericho's "King of my World" theme are two entrance themes that desperately need to make a comeback.

Character-wise it's an interesting time, really liked the entrance themes at the time too (original Corporate Ministry one is excellent).
Abysmal stuff in the ring though. Since it was the height of Attitude that didn't matter so much, but there's very little in the way of good matches worth watching. Taker needed the injury time off bad.
