literally the less memorable aspect of the era was his return.

I was watching during this time and barely remembered anything significant from him.

>>1966732
He got rock bottomed onto dog shit. It was one of the most memorable Smackdown moments

The Undercarder when he done the biker gimmick. Or when he started wearing MMA gloves lmao

>>1966892
Undertaker after the ministry of darkness really. His turn to biker taker and everything after has been absolute garbage.

>>1966700
Bulldog was in rough shape in 99/00

Somehow he got included in No Mercy though.

He's still doing the Rockers shtick to this day. He was totally the Jannetty of that team.

It was tounge-in-cheek usage of stock footage playing off being in Socal in the mid 90s. Announcers were saying stuff like "where have I seen this before".

I don't get what women see in Jeff that makes them drop Matt so fast
>Matt is more built, smarter, funnier, same height, enough personality to hold a conversation
>Jeff is fucked out of his head on Skooma 24/7, always either staying quiet or pulling some cringey Nightmare-Before-Christmas shit, resting on Matt's laurels, sounds like an Appalachian drunk Johnny Paycheck

The 'American badass' gimmick is closer to how Undertaker really is though, he's into that whole biker scene.

>Jack Swagger

He needs to channel some Heel angle

>>1968395
You'd think WWE would capitalize on an "All-American patriot" character considering the elections and all.

Wrong. He still looked great, still had the same gimmick, and got a fuckin huge check for doing a minimal amount of work

>>1968183
Missing the point. He wasn't a huuuge name back in the 80s, he never was cringe, etc. Hell you could argue his best work was as bossman.

>>1968395
>>1968400

He's fucking trash

>>1968400
Nah the gimmick is no longer over, he needs a new gimmick

Thought we were getting it with his pissy "you don't know Jack" shit, but they just fed him to Corbin

>>1968410
>He wasn't a huuuge name back in the 80s

he was main-eventing against Hogan for the better part of a year, during the height of Hulkamania. He was definitely a big name.

>>1967883
Yes the point was for Mark to get a last run as himself. You could see him heading they way after the Ministry stuff dissolved; right around when he started to team with Beeg.

>>1968183

This was his best gimmick ever you stupid fuck.

He also had his best matches during this era. Ray lost lots of weight before and during his Attitude Era run and it made him a much better wrestler.

It's a shame he never got a run with the Intercontinental Title.
