Ahh, and all is right with the world once more. The Undertaker is back and everything is better, time for the shameless fawning to begin. I love it when he fights Rey Mysterio, The Undertaker in my oh so humble opinion has always worked his best with the high fliers and those fast on their feet. He has the bulk and ability to make their antics look utterly awesome while coming over as this unstoppable giant himself. It just works and that’s why whenever I see those two on the card (or the likes of Shelton ‘Bring Him Back’ Benjamin or John Morrison etc) I immediately get excited. So what did they pull out of the bag this week?
After a rather overblown ‘The Deadman Returns’ promo video at the start of Smackdown.. explain this to me please. He hasnt actually been off of our screens all that long. Let’s not forget his RAW appearances. Although true enough he hasnt been on Smackdown specifically since Wrestlemania, it didnt really warrant a ‘He returns from the dead’ esque video. But that’s just me nitpicking and in fact I should probably silence my griping because it’s another cool piece of Undertaker footage I can stare at so.. win. Anyway, We had to wait until the end of the show for the Deadman to cometh. And cometh he did.
Poor Rey. As Tyra Banks would say these two worked it and not only did they work it, they downright killed it. Disagree with me if you want but I thought this was one of his most exciting performances in a while. This kind of match makes me thoroughly enjoy being a fan, complete with squealing, clapping and grinning. Incredibly sad when you live alone, my neighbors will be calling the white coats shortly. The Undertaker broke out all the classics barring a notable absence of the ‘Oldschool’ which is usually hit for the nostalgia, perhaps we will see it less now in an effort to preserve his knees. He also broke out a few ‘new’ tricks, returning as Cole would say with a new weapon or two in his arsenal and ultimately he succeeded in his bid to earn a place in the Fatal Four Way Main Event.
The Undertaker goes on to the Pay Per View with another shot at the top gold. Will he take the prize? Or will someone else get in his way and keep him from the top of the mountain? There is yet to be a challenger to the Deadmans throne since Shawn, who will be brave enough to step up and take that spot? I cant wait to find out.
Final Thought: I love how when any other superstar bleeds they stop the match, but when it’s The Undertaker they let it roll. Can you imagine being the guy to go up to him; “Um, ’scuse me Mr Undertaker Sir but you have a boo-boo and we…” *snarl* “nevermind…”
