Biker Taker

By Scott Keith on 19 May 2018

I've heard mention before (possibly on the BOD) of Undertaker coming back as a biker character in 2000 in anticipation of a move to WCW.

Creatively WCW was on its arse then, and having seen how Bret worked out, plus presumably reports from his friends who worked there, I find it hard to comprehend why Undertaker would even consider going there at that point.

I'm sure they offered him a lot of money but WWE was riding the Austin wave at the time so my guess is that Vince could easily match it to keep one of his biggest stars.

And from a creative and push standpoint, he was a big deal with a lot of sway at the time, so it couldn't have been that. An easier schedule is the only reason I can think of why he might've considered it. Can you shed any light on what went down?

And finally, if Biker Taker was the plan for WCW, why did Vince allow that gimmick change, knowing it was making it easier for Taker to transition to a more realistic character, which in turn would have helped WCW had they gotten hold of him?

Thanks!

I dunno, a lot of that was based on stuff supposedly said by Kevin Nash, who has been known to be full of crap on occasion. The timeline, as has been pointed out by others, just doesn't work out. Like who in their right mind would be jumping TO WCW in 2000? I've never bought it as a serious theory.
