It makes 'taker look especially childish, like some sort of extremely cartoonish evildoer going into battle. Of course, given that he's wrestling the similarly dark Jake Roberts - his co-conspirator in the "let's ruin Randy Savage's wedding" plot - the whole thing just feels wildly out of place. Given that it's one year before his epic entrance at Wrestlemania IX at Caesar's Palace, it's particularly striking what 12 months and some extra creative can do.
