Taker cut some of his best promos ever as BikerTaker ("Say what if you like to sleep with your own sister."), but aestheticaly I prefer Deadman. I grew up with the cheesy zombie, so I'm kinda attached to it.

I am no fan of Undertaker, he doesn't make me want to watch a match, ever, but heel BikerTaker was fantastic, I loved the gimmick and he played it to the hilt. Plus he added some legitimacy to the hardcore title.

wish they would've stuck with it to be honest. the Deadman gimmick sticks out like a sore thumb with the modern product, and there are times where it looks like Taker really wished he could be doing something else.

I hated it as a kid. Didn't start to appreciate till a few years ago. Now I want that gimmick back.

I hate to play the heel but here we go! Back when it happen I hated biker Taker. Now I don't hate it as much but it still leaves me slightly annoyed. I was so hyped that Taker was coming back. Then when he did, here came this biker who drove around the ring and I was honestly pissed off about it. I think the gimmick would have worked for someone else just not Taker. I just find everything about the gimmick very tacky. However it did give him The Last Ride so I can at least give him that.

It was good but it had it's time. I feel MMA Western Zombie is actually somehow relevant.

The only bad thing about Bikertaker is Limp Bizkit.
Now whenever he's arguing with anyone about anything, they can say "Well you came out to Limp Bizkit".
"You entered to limp Bizkit, your argument is invalid" =P

Loved it.
Wasn't a wrestling forum regular at the time, being as I was 13 years old. So when I came online a few years later to find it was a pretty unpopular direction for Undertaker I was really surprised. I've always hoped he would bring the idea back at some point.

"I'll make you famous." He ripped that line from a movie... On a similar note, is that where Billy Gunn got his 'Famouser' name from? Wasn't he trying to be a western-themed outlaw-type at the time his finisher was named?

He was lazy as shit and boring as all hell in the ring from 2000-mid 2002, but from the point of the mini Jeff Hardy feud on, he was much better. Still, his in ring skills improved a ton once he started incorporating a more MMA style as Deadman Taker. With that in mind, I'll side with meh on his gimmick.

Best version of The Undertaker by a long shot.
