So I got around to watching Tombstone on netflix and honestly I've forgotten how great Big Evil was. Maybe it's because around that time I was annoyed with Raw too much to pay attention but Big Evil Taker was great. I don't know if it was just the matches he was doing then or it was the fact he was really being him wrestling but something about the gimmick was great. Taker's actually done well with each and every gimmick he's given. I can't really pick which has been my favorite. "Lord of Darkness" Taker had some nice matches as well.

One of the last great big monster heels, along with Brock. Him demolishing the Hardys and picking on the midcard as champion was fantastic.

His beatdown of David Flair was outstanding.

Funny enough even though I roll my eyes at HHH, I liked his reign of terror for similar reasons at least for a while, where he was often messing with people in the midcard. |

Loved him making Tommy Dreamer drink his Tobacco spit.

I loved the throat-crushing spot he did with Matt Hardy, where he put his neck to a steel chair, and brought it to the floor, legs first, into his neck. I am sure it was probably a lot safer than it looked, but it was unique and devastating looking.

My favourite incarnation of Taker by far. He was just a badass, but also a bully, so he picked on people weaker than him. LOVED it.
Even the turn was perfect. 'Does that make you better than me?'

I wish he had defended the Hardcore title more. Imagine the likes of Crash Holly and Shawn Stasiak trying to invoke the 24/7 rule only to catch a stare from Taker and just run the f*** away.

The entire Bikertaker gimmick was amazing throughout. It was just really Mark Calaway wrestling. Mystifying and yet still amazing overall. I'm still surprised they put Taker over Hogan again to be honest. I'm glad they did but still.

I am glad that everybody else enjoyed it. I really hated most of it--though it did have its moments, for sure.
I just loved his dragon sleeper finisher, Taker Care of Business.

I am sure it was probably a lot safer than it looked, but it was unique and devastating looking. I always thought that was the dumbest looking spot when I was younger. Now I'm older I appreciate and understand it a lot more, I just didn't understand why it was supposed to hurt or why he'd do it over smashing the thing over Matt's head. |

Reminds me of when someone was complaining here once about the Widow's Peak Victoria would do, saying "Why should they be out just because she hurt their knees?" I guess when you are younger, it is harder to understand compression. |
