...isn't it really strange that they decided to make Taker, an established dead man cult leader guy, into an American redneck motorbike guy?
I say that as someone who witnessed the change at the time and thought nothing of it but looking back now it seems like a strange decision. Who decided on this major character change to one of the most famous pro wrestlers ever?

I would assume Taker came up with the character himself since he's a biker IRL.

Vince really hates this incarnation, so we know he didn't.

Well, he was already pretty humanized in the Ministry anyway as just an evil guy rather than a zombie, plus a fairly short time before leaving he did do the, "You've gone in too deep, Mark," stuff so it kind of works.
Plus didn't the segment where he walked out have him wearing a bandana and riding a motorcycle? Pretty sure it did.

If he can drive a hearse, he can ride a motorcycle.

It was more realistic than a dead superhuman.

I've read that he wanted to be more like himself on TV.

I don't care how many times he comes out as the Undertaker. To me, he's the guy that said he works out while listening to Limp Bizkit to get pumped up.
I know people say "Well I was young and dumb". NO. Not to that. I'd say it right to his face too even though he's almost a foot taller than me.
Me: "You should be ashamed of yourself".
Him: *looks down sadly*
