[Try to vote up to five times] With a near quarter of a century in WWE, what period of Undertaker has been his best of all time? I tried to define them as well as the general consensus might be. Since it seems impossible (for myself, at least) to choose only one 'Taker era, you can choose five. But there can only be one winner (probably). For me, I'd say it's his run from 1996-1998 with the black vest, WWE title run, and feud with Kane. That, to me, was the essence of his character, the true, dark, but do-gooder, vigilante-esque Undertaker. I think his weird tweener/heel turn was dumb, especially when he suddenly negated a seven month build for a match with Kane and admitted he burned his house down, realigned with Paul Bearer after feuding with him for a year, and really cementing his position as a top face. Yeah, Austin needed an opponent and Ministry Taker was pretty cool, but there was always Kane, Owen Hart, young Rock, Vader, DX, etc. Big Evil 2002 was cool too, as is his current run as the uber-legend. So, what do you think? Go for it. If you choose none, then please explain why. If you choose Bo Dallas, then you will rest...in...peace. Here are some pictures:

I'd have to go with the "Phenom" era. Much as I love his original look, that point was when he really was at his peak, having the greatest matches and feuds of his career. I still consider his first WM match with Kane to be the greatest "big man" match of all time, one of the most well hyped feuds ever-every bit as good as Sting vs Hogan. And the cell match with Foley will always be both men's opus.

The Western Mortician from 1990-1994. Maybe it's the nostalgia talking (I ate that right up as a kid), but I've never marked more for the guy than I did in that era.

Any version of Biker Taker. He was killing it with great matches and promos in that period.

His match with HHH was fine at WM17, but other than that, it's kind of empty. I do think the best Taker is MMA Taker that reigned over Smackdown from 2005-2009 or so, just because it was the most consistent match wise of his career.

There's only ever 3 times that I ever gave a shit about Taker;
1. Debut until shortly before face turn.
2. 1994 Yokozuna feud to 1998 when he turned heel (minus most of his feud with the Million Dollar Corporation).
3. His late 2001 heel turn.
But yeah...the last decade. *snore*

Ministry Taker was a badass, my favorite look of his. Loved all of his guises but Ministry was awesome to me.
