>Says this while the RAW segment where he was champ was literally the most viewed ever.

Ministry was the GOAT gimmick, Legit best of all time and made at the perfect time.

>tfw marked out and thought he was going ministry-like again at WM 30 because of the fucking goatee and attack on Lesnar

No charisma, cringe personified

>>2677751
But the Raw where he was champ got literally the best ratings in wrestling history

>>2677761
>Ministry

Undertaker from 1990 to 1996 was fucking garbage compared to the one after, it should be erased from history

>>2677784
June 18th, 1999, the main storyline was Austin vs The Undertaker who was champ, the Raw got an 8.1. No wrestling show will ever get that high of a rating ever again.

>>2677784
He's talking about 1999, which technically Taker was champion on the highest rated raw ever.

>>2677759
Old Man Taker should have stuck to this haircut and beard. The long skullet is not a good look for him.

does anyone have the pic of him looking into the camera, from the american badass days?

I'm the biggest Taker mark on earth and its easy to explain. He's just not a "face of the company" type of wrestler at all. He's always been super over with the fans but he's just not *that* kind of guy

He was never meant to be THE guy as champion. He was a cornerstone of the company.

Update it

thanks, anon

>>2677751
He was never promoted as the top guy when he was champion, all of his reigns were transitional.

Tbh he's the GOAT and the only one who can prolly stand up to the phenom is Jinder.

He was good for about 4 years in a 30 year career. He is the biggest fraud in wrestling history.

transitional champs are transitional champs because they CANT draw dimes. They get their lil runs as pats on the back for working with the dime drawers.

>>2677777
>>2677793

It's only the highest rated ever because it got the turnover rating, getting USA networks full hour rating from whatever shit show came on after raw. The real rating is only in the mid 6's.

>Taker's best run was also his shortest.

Really makes you think.

Also, I think using his best theme helped a little.

Bikertaker is better. Talked.
Badass.
Motorcycle.
Turned heel.
Beat up Arn.
Beat up Flair's son.

>>2689512
American Badass taker was his best and more over gimmick.
At least it didn't take 20 mins for him to get into the ring.

>>2678302
>>Never the guy
arguably true
>>Never drew a dime
have sex
>>Never had a good match before 2006 and even then was carried by vastly superior workers
it is surprising that his best work came so late
>>Never cut a memorable promo
mostly true
>>Never put anyone over
mostly true
>>Never had the balls to step out his WWF comfort even when Ted Turner threw millions at him
oh please
>>Main evented the lowest drawing Wrestlemania of the '90s
yeah
>>Main evented the lowest drawing Wrestlemania of the '10s

>>Tanked the buyrate of King Of The Ring in 2002 so hard the PPV got cancelled
revisionist history
>>Was barely ever in the main title picture because he was never a big enough deal
that's not the reason
>>Only the 2nd best member of The Brothers of Destruction
I love Kane but he's not definitively better
>>Only the 4th best member of The Ministry
puh
>>Only the 8th best member of The Corporate Ministry

unfortunate

yes if you care about that sort of thing
>>Only significant achievement was accidently being booked to have a Wrestlemania streak
laughable assertion

Born heel gimmick. Nobody can relate to a dark theme even being a biker for a while is too heelish.

>>2677751
There are champions booked to draw dimes, and then there are champions booked to elevate their opponents.

Taker has always been the latter.
