3. Another 'New Undertaker' Pitch

There was always a next 'Undertaker', wasn't there?

As if the first one wasn't absolutely bobbins between 1990 and 1995, and then again between 1998 and 2001. Even when he was the best big match worker on the planet in the 2000s (on a once-per-year basis), his storylines were wretched, lame dreck. They were best watched in incognito mode lest somebody on your WiFi network typed in the letters 'Un' and inadvertently exposed your most humiliating secret.

Still, he had lots of fans, and lots of those fans literally couldn't get enough of the bloke. They wanted him as a constant presence in their lives, like a child, and constantly pitched 'next' or 'new' iterations of him. Bray Wyatt. Aleister Black. Bray Wyatt again. F*cking Bray Wyatt again.

They can be the new Undertaker!

So too could Wade Barrett, as one r/SquaredCircle poster reminisced. Some unknown soul's idea was for the Undertaker's soul to leave his body and slowly "infect" the Englishman. Barrett would then take on 'Taker's mannerisms, like his love of eyeliner and low monotone. This idea is absolutely piss funny, in fairness.

Imagine 'Barrett' saying "Rest...in...peace" in that thick Lancastrian brogue.

"Rest...in...peyce!"

Or, better still, Barrett struggling to pick up a Texan accent. The idea that Barrett could just...become the Undertaker is ridiculous too. It's not that easy, is it?

Kane struggled to become Diesel, after all. Then again, he struggled in general.
