Why? It was a retirement show. It's not like he showed up at a random episode of NXT or something. I think it wasn't out of the realms of possibility that he'd turned up for the sendoff considering they had history. Quote

A gong and then American Badass to the ring on his bike. Now, I have fond memories of American Badass Taker if I'm honest, but the fact they're still using a song where they have to beep that much of it is really odd. I'm surprised they haven't Def Rebel'd him. Quote

I’m glad it wasn’t setting up a final, final match for AJ though. I don’t think he’s done for good, maybe for WWE, but I don’t think we’ll see him at Wembley or anywhere near AEW. Quote
Paid Members mim731 Posted February 24 Paid Members Posted February 24 Taker doing the "surprise!" things is so cringey. Like a shite Michael Aspel. Quote
The Gaffer Posted February 24 Posted February 24 Watched the 'Taker bit and I I have to admit I unironically love this use of him, and the direct suggestion that it's now his role going forward. Sure, it's WWE at their self-aggrandising best but within their world it feels logical, respectful to all involved and is probably the most consistent way to turn his conscience of the WWE/locker room leader mythology into something active. It's also still quite funny and the possibilities with it are endless going forward, watching him pop up as their sort of Oprah only dressed like exactly what he is: Somebody who buys special freedom toothpaste from websites that go on about protecting the constitution.

Paid Members DCW Posted February 24 Paid Members Posted February 24 Taker still wearing his mma gloves is hilarious. He probably wears them when he nips down the shop for milk, in case anyone tries to jump 'the best pure striker in the game' or whatever nonsense JR called him. Quote

Why has this given me images of AJ and Steph and anyone else hes "inducted" joining his biker gang but on scooters and lawn mowers like the episode of The Simpsons where Homer starts a Biker gang.
