@tmbttes Well, I'm not sure on this but just from commonsense I would say sometime in April after WrestleMania 12 which took place on March 31st of 1996. Vader had just arrived to the WWF prior to WrestleMania and was being pushed as an unstoppable monstrous heel for a match with Yokozuna at WM 12 and there's no way they would allow him to lose this easily on the road to WrestleMania. Taker didn't have a pay-per-view match in April of 1996 but did for May of 96 against Goldust
@AustrailianGent (continued) Taker also resembles the look he had at WrestleMania 12. Although he wears the same attire, his body weight and look is slighty different in around WrestleMania than it was in say July of 1996 when he fought Goldust at International Incident. If it were in May or June, Goldust and Mankind would have most assuredly interfered as that's when the feud between them and Taker was strongly underway but it wasn't that much underway in April
@AustrailianGent maybe, since Taker looked weak in this match because the fight he had with Diesel at WrestleMania and the attack he suffered at the hands of Mankind the night after left him very vulnerable
@tmbttes That's another good point tmbtts. Taker's wrestling style in around April after the match with Diesel was weaker because of the encounter with Diesel. This was the case in his match against Justin Hawk Bradshaw as well, then you have Mankind's ambush on top of that so excellent point. So we've effectively exclude January through March; couldn't be after August otherwise Paul Bearer wouldn't be accompanying Taker to the ring and couldn't be in July because Vader was being pushed heavily
@AustrailianGent This match took place in San Diego on April 2 1996 at a Superstars TV taping, so yes, it was after WM12 against Diesel and the match against Bradshaw and attack by Mankind on Raw the following night
"The immovable force..." (Oh crap I've messed this up. Yeah definitely supposed to be unstoppable force and immovable object. Hmm, do I just correct myself? No, that would sound dumb. I need a new adjective. Think! Think! Think! Ah, got it! "...and the irresistible object." (Umm not sure that one worked either.)
i agree tat e was misused in the wwf...well aside from 1996 and parts of 97. i thin in 98, after the royal rumble, he turned into a less menacing, cartoonish jobber. the reason 4 this is they didnt know what 2 do with him. he health was getting worse thats why (probably r other reason 2) his run there was short. had he came to wwf earlier than he did, he'd be the monster he was meant 2 be. he was a monster in wwf in 96 had he came earlier, the monster wouldve lasted longer is my point
if it s a talent to blow fists into your opponent face (i mean truly... not faked as it is normal in wrestling..),then vader may be one of the mst talented..
Vader was a huge bad guy. Yes, you're absolutely right that he did really hit guys and some, like Mick Foley, had asked him to do so in their last matches in WCW. Vader had talent, he was agile for his size, he had a mean look, he definitely had the size. The WWF made him look less menacing and at times, cartoonish.
he was pretty agile for his size... but i think that times it would have needed more to be a "big shot" in the wwf... today it's enough to do some funny rhymes and have a wannabe marine attitude...
@illdoitin5mins I wish that Vader was used better by the WWF. They didn't know how to use his character. He was very menacing and could do moves that a lighter man could do. His punches looked real and they were real.
I looked at that video when his eye popped, I wonder how that happened? I've analysed that video over and over and still don't see how/when it occured.
its true. I mean the tan woulda worked when he was on the motor cycle, but he didnt have it. Now hes the deadman again and he looks like hes laying out on the beach....i mean wtf is that
ahh I hate commentators that talk in blocks. "the undertaker is.. making his way down.. to the.. ring gettin ready to.. clash with the massive.. vader."
I don´t think so. WWF protects too much to Undertaker. Vader was amazing "selling" some moves too look more real. I really want to look Undertaker wrestle in Japan as free agent, and not for just a company like WWF/WWE.
When is he coming back though? Does anybody has a correct measure? If Vickie beings him back now it won't be that good as if he came back himself to get the due revenge.
well i mean its probably more of a natural ability but playing basketball does help make u faster i mean look at someone like lebron hes a big dude and lightning fast but taker does have lebron by about 70lbs and maybe a inch
true! Those NBA players are big and leap high off the ground and they are around his same height and weight. Maybe that's the answer to good wrestling skills. Go find some natural basketball players and they'd be cut out for wrestling as well. =D
that was awesome but you can tell its fake i mean if he really had someone who weighs almsot 500 lbs land on him like that he wouldnt get up that quickly
is undertaker a puncher or a punchetr?
