WrestleMania winning streak

I have a suggestion, so tell me what y'all think. I made a table of The Undertaker's WrestleMania winning streak in my sandbox. I performed a little test to see what it would look like in the article. To see, click here. Here are my thoughts on this: I think the table takes away from the "listy" aspect that the current, ummm, list has. :). Moreover, the table could go under championships and accomplishments b/c more-or-less, that is what it is (a kayfabe accomplishment just like winning a championship belt). Does anybody else like it, and should it be added to the article? Suggestions, please. Nikki311 18:36, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

The only problem I see is that part of his PWI awards are to the left of the table instead of under it, so there are only a few words per line. If you can fix that, then the table should work fine. (Sawyer 07:58, 26 August 2007 (UTC))

I'm not sure what you are talking about. On my computer, the table is right justified and the list of championships is left justified (as in two columns), but the table does not cause the text to only have a few words per line (everything still fits normally). Is anyone else having this same problem? Nikki311 18:58, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

No, its fine. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 00:10, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Whatever problem you witnessed, {{Clear}} should be able to fix it. Cheers, The Hybrid 01:38, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

I think I figured out something that (I hope) worked. I went ahead and added the table. Does it look alright to everyone? If not, I'll continue to tinker with it until it looks right. Nikki311 01:53, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Looks good in my browser. Cheers, The Hybrid 04:57, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Excellent work. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 00:41, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

His PWI Top 500 Ranking is Wrong

Hey, simple problem I wanted to point out. This site lists that the Undertakers ranking on the top 500 of the PWI years is 18. If you check the actual list he is actually number 21. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.73.227.131 (talk) 22:44, August 25, 2007 (UTC)

Return of The Undertaker

I have compiled all of the previous topics and organized them in one section, unedited. I see no reason to have this topic covered in so many places on one talk page. Enhanceddownloadbird 01:57, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Return date questionable

The Undertaker's return I assume is unknown, due to the fact originally the date was set at January 2008 on the WWE Roster page under Inactive talent. Next, the date was changed on that page as November 2007. And on his article, it says he's return October 2007. WE need to find and confirm his actual return date. Thanks TonyWWE 18:52, 5 July 2007 (UTC) TonyWWE

Where exactly did you read this? --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 19:39, 05 July 2007 (UTC)

When he returns we can put his return date. Darrenhusted 19:52, 9 July 2007 (UTC) He is gonna return at Unforgiven 16th september 2007 look on Phenomforever.com --Shaibani 11:29, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

His return date has been set by WWE. He returns at Unforgiven 2007. "Undertaker returns to WWE at Unforgiven, live on pay-per-view Sept. 16." - WWE.com - Slovig 00:35, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Return, September 16, 2007

Adding Taker's return date is reasonable becasue I have a reference, the video played on the August 10th edition of SD![1] the character kept repeating the word "Unforgiven" and she said that "he keeps coming back", and Unforgiven is on September 16, 2007.

So add something like, "On the August 10th edition of Friday Night Smackdown, a vignette aired hyping the return of The Undertaker at Unforgiven to face Mark Henry", or something similar to that.undertaker will be smackdown in person on friday 14th september there is video promo to be aired in a couple of weeks http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Truko9308 01:56, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

I also think the Unforgiven return should be noted —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.229.169.189 (talk) 21:47, August 24, 2007 (UTC)

takers return

May it be added that The Undertaker is returning at Unforgiven 2007 not only is he on the poster it has also be confirmed by people such as jim ross so may it be added Deadman lastride666 19:49, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

He's not necessarily returning at Unforgiven, it could be added that he plans to return at Unforgiven, but it won't be definent. Take Rey Mysterio for example, he was set to return at the Great American Bash, he was on the posters and everything but couldn't make it back in time. Bm2 21:27, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

no apperently from what i heard mysterio was set to return at the Great American Bash but he was found taking drugs to they suspended him for an extra month but they didnt havent time to release a new poster so they had to stick with that oen because he was on the RAW tour of mexico i beleive wrestling some matches there.Deadman lastride666 11:58, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

On the August 10 edition of SmackDown!, a vignette hyping The Undertaker's return was shown after Mark Henry (who injured The Undertaker after the Steel Cage match with Batista) defeated a local. The vignette had a repetitive use of the word "Unforgiven". I'm guessing 'Taker will return at Unforgiven and verse Mark Henry. J.C. 03:37, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

I also suggest adding to the article about Undertakers return. Even though it may not be for sure it should at least be mensioned that a vignette was shown and that the druid was present at the end of it. [JWM]

How about this? "On the August 3, 2007 edition of SmackDown, Mark Henry cut a promo after a squash match and showed video of his attack on the Undertaker and the druids carrying Taker out, after which he was laughing. In the weeks since then, starting with the August 10 edition of SmackDown, Undertaker vignettes began airing immediately after Henry's video, followed by the appearances of druids and sand. The vignettes have in common mention of Undertaker returning from being buried alive and set on fire, as well as repetitive use of the word "Unforgiven", hinting clearly at an Unforgiven 2007 return for the Undertaker."

Or, a condensed version: "Since the August 10 edition of SmackDown, one week after Mark Henry laughed about "taking out" the Undertaker, ominous vignettes began airing and being followed by druid appearances, all pointing towards Undertaker returning at Unforgiven 2007." 63.3.16.129 03:57, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

{{Editprotected}} I Would Like To Write About The " Druid & Sand" Incident.

The article is semiprotected, so nearly any editor can make changes if appropriate. Cheers. --MZMcBride 23:06, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

On the September 28th edit about him defeating mark henry I was hoping someone would add the information from the WWE mobile video that was sent out after SmackDown! went off air that had The druids come out and carry Mark Henry away. the code to watch the video is:

http://www.wwe.com/content/media/video/vms/afterthebell/2007/september22-28/5537050

Will someone please fix this so that those who do not have WWE mobile can know that this occured? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.47.87.230 (talk) 01:58, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

SARA Tattoo

Should it be noted that WWE is now photoshopping Taker's "SARA" tattoo in pictures now so it doesn't appear in recent pictures? (eg Unforgiven)-TakerV1

It has to be noted that rumours are spreading that Sara and Taker have split up. He is now apparently dating Michelle McCool, though she is married.

http://www.wrestling-edge.com/wwenews.php?subaction=showfull&id=1191279340&archive=&start_from=&ucat=1&

I'm not trying to promote this site, it's just the place where I keep up to date on the news. I reckon we should not edit it in the article yet until there's factual proof. Consider it a "heads up"

-HF —Preceding unsigned comment added by HellFyre (talk • contribs) 16:35, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

during Survivor Series it was easy to see that the tattoo is in the process of being removed by laser(bleaching out by laser)it is now faded, blurry and the skin around it is lightening to white which are all classic signs of the laser removal process, i don't know WHY it's being removed but it looks like it isLadysian (talk) 12:13, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

I think it should be deleted until it's official. And get rid of that Michelle McCool bullshit, she's at least twenty years younger than him! Love, Valkyrie Missile —Preceding comment was added at 08:28, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

The picture of 'Taker and McCool has been photoshopped - the picture also features Sharmell Huffman, and they don't look quite as 'couple-like' in the unedited file. 80.177.2.156 19:00, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

That being said, the tattoo is definitely not visible anymore. on last nights episode, it was so faded, my friend, who was watching for the first time since the attitude era, asked (didnt he used to have a tattoo of his wife's name on his neck.LessThanClippers (talk) 02:25, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Druids

the Undertaker's minions/followers the Druids are should somehow be mentioned and highlighted somewhat in this article. But I don't know how. they are an essential part of Undertaker's persona but I've got no clue how to talk about them. Any Ideas anyone?Technobabble1 05:23, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Does the undertaker have hepitatis?65.222.238.206 —Preceding signed but undated comment was added at 14:14, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

• ^ That has nothing to do with the Druids. But if you are referring to the Bob Orton incident, I do not believe Taker himself contracted hepitatis. He was pissed about the incident, but I think he was fine in the end. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TakerVersion1 (talk • contribs) 00:33, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

I think for the druids we just put in that they are Undertaker's followers or protectors in some cases. There isn't really much known about them (his druids) unless someone asks him theirselves. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.47.87.230 (talk) 23:05, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

I remember hearing names of some wrestlers who portrayed the druids, one of which was Paul Burchill. As for the others, I'll have to root around the ol' internet to find some names. Tyler Warren ^{(talk/contribs)} 05:02, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Martial status

I read that Undertaker is currently dating Michelle McCool, did anyone even know him and Sara were seperated?69.182.102.144 21:52, 4 October 2007 (UTC)JakeDHS07

Yes, I read that too, and it also confused me. I'm wondering whether it's just a rumour... Tyler Warren ^{(talk/contribs)} 05:03, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Arest

I'm pretty sure I saw the Undertaker get arested. Was this just a kayfabe are was it real.Hardcore Hak 14:37, 12 October 2007 (UTC)HardcoreHak

That bang you heard in the distance was my head exploding. Now that that's out of the way, how about you tell me where you heard it? Mshake3 18:28, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

I saw it at Wrestlemania 15. When they were showing the story between Vince and Taker. And agian for smashing the windows of HHH's limo. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hardcore Hak (talk • contribs) 19:03, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

PWI and WON awards

There's a discussion going on on the wrestling project discussion page regarding the PWI rankings and awards as well as the Wrestling Observer Newsletter awards. It started out as a discussion of an edit made to the Hulk Hogan article about including all of his PWI rankings rather than just a select few. Then, the discussion changed really to one about whether or not the PWI and WON honors really should be part of the articles to begin with. I figured I'd give a heads up, see if there are any editors that haven't stated their position that care one way or another. Thus far, the consensus is to do away with them as there's a lack of evidence to suggest that the awards have little to no real influence over wrestling or the careers of wrestlers in and of themselves. Odin's Beard 23:03, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Undertaker and most of the wrestlers consider him the locker room leader.

Should it be included the fact that Undertaker and many others consider Undertaker the locker room leader on Smackdown?--IHaveADollar 10:59, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Just because the Undertaker and others might consider him the "locker room leader" doesn't make it so. I've read the same claims from various internet sites that've said the same thing about Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair and others at various times. Since there is no "offical" top guy back in the locker room, I think its POV to say otherwise.Odin's Beard 13:57, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Survivor Series

Who keeps removing my update about the Hell in a cell match at Survivor Series? It's for the World Heavweight Championship, which I think makes it rather relevant to this page? NiciVampireHeart 13:27, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

I think it's relevant too. Maybe someone is just messing with you. Oasiyis 22:53, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Per WP:PW consensus/policy, announced matches that have not yet occurred do not go into articles. It's somewhat of an extension of WP:CRYSTAL. Perhaps after the match if he wins the title. Bmg916^Speak 04:04, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
