Well, it staved off retirement due to horrendous knee damage for another 4 years

That idiot referee is allowing Undertaker and Kane to double team. That should be an automatic disqualification!

I like the Last Ride a lot as a finisher and I think it would have been a smarter move for Undertaker to have kept using it. I mean if they had given in a little more time then it could have had the potential to be just as iconic as the Tombstone and the choke slam and as someone mentioned it would have stopped him doing any more damage to his knees.
I don't think the Hell's Gate was that bad as I think he should have a submission hold in his arsenal for taking out the bigger guys however I never really dug him using the Takin' Care of Business.

It was pretty good. He'd get some sick impact at times.
Didn't like when he used the Gogoplata though. The set up was always kinda convoluted, because of the way they had to come at him to lock it in.

I loved it when he was trying to teach Kane the move and they kept doing it over and over on some poor schmoes and even though Kane only used it at that time, he would have it as a second finisher in every video game!

I always cringed, waiting for the person's tights to tear completely off. Especially bigger guys he gave it to. Like, imagine he did it to Batista, and his tights ripped and Batista fell to the canvas, penis and ass exposed?

Yes
Thought it was an awesome move with lots of impact. Not as iconic as the Tombstone perhaps, but still an excellent finisher. One of my all time favourite in fact.

Personally, when they were doing the "Let's try to give Big Show a new finisher because the chokeslam isn't memorable enough" thing, I think they should have given HIM the Last Ride.
Hell, give it to him now. The Undertaker isn't using it, and as big a pop as the punch to Triple H getting KO'd was, I'd find someone Big Show's size doing an elevated powerbomb more believable.
As far as Undertaker doing the Last Ride though, I just have to remember back to WrestleMania XX, being in the crowd, and booing when Taker (just returned to the Dead Man gimmick) teased doing a Last Ride on Kane.

I always loved that move. Easily my favorite times he did it was to Nunzio. He'd always hang up there long enough to cross himself. Always made me laugh. Oh indeed and bonus great one featuring Rey

Still is a good finisher
Love the wedgie bomb
The one he killed mysterio with was great.
I imagine his last ride to seth rollins will be the coolest though

It's so weird how well everyone remembers Takin' Care of Business considering he used it all of like, three times.

For his character at the time, yes, though I wasn't a fan of said character. Non-supernatural Taker just didn't work for me.
The move itself is good, but it wouldn't make my top ten list of favorite powerbomb variations.

Hell yeah! There's nothing scarier than the wedgie bomb. Imagine if he applied that move on Steiner Or what if he did it to Ahmed Johnson? Would it have much more affect or none at all!?

The butterfly lock he did was pretty nifty

I never liked it.
Sid and Nash had the best powerbombs.

I liked the move. I also liked his Dragon Sleeper, though "Taking Care Of Business" is a very stupid name for it. Well someones not an Elvis fan. Funny story, Kash and I know a guy who briefly worked on the WWE writing team; at the time, he mentioned to us that every day, Vince showed up to work in his sports car with Turner Bachman Overdrive's "Taking Care of Business" blasting.
