You might be reading this and asking yourself, 'Who doesn't want to see The Undertaker?!'. Fair enough, but can anyone stomach the thought of more pain train bouts like his ones vs. Roman Reigns, Goldberg and that tag over in Saudi Arabia vs. D-Generation X? 'Taker has more than earned a rest from suffering those slogs, and so have wrestling fans.

Now, imagine him as a part-time attraction who strictly dishes out chokeslams just for a cheap pop.

That'd work. Seeing The Undertaker return as various forms of himself sounds like a blast, it really does. Mouthy heel boring everyone to sleep with a 'me, me, me' promo? Here comes the 'Deadman' to Tombstone them. Someone getting shirty? Keep rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin' a legend to the ring to go 'American Bad Ass' on them.

Even those who agreed it was time for 'Taker to call it a day in 2020 must see value in cameo appearances every so often. He doesn't need to wrestle 20+ minute matches - just play the hits and perform those entrances people loved so much.
