Reply -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lately my WADD has been acting up. WADD is Wrestling Attention Deficit Disorder. I can only pay attention for short period of time. Those small bursts of attentivness apply to Taker. Other then that, I can't focus. So I really don't care about the rest of the show. No, I m not making fun of people with ADD or trying to insult them Raw was as exciting as watching grass grow. The only appealing part was Taker's interview. Lil Michael Cole wanted UT's thoughts on HIAC 5. UT seemed very proud of the fact he handed out as much punishment as he took. Next to HHH, UT took the most punishment. Rikishi only took that fall. Upon the replay, one could see alot of padding under those shavings. UT again proving whose yard the WWF ring actually is. The he was asked about Mick Foley resigning(sp?). Taker couldn't care less since he wasn't one of the ones blaming Foley for HIAC 5. And Foley wasn't the one that made Fagle and Rikishi hit him with chairs. Backing up the whole Foley shouldn't resign vibe. UT went in there to hurt someone before they hurt him, and he did. So he was content. In a nutshell that is what he said. And he was the only one of the four remaining wrestlers that didn't piss and moan. He looked tired. I mean the man went on for nearly 40 minutes non stop. Not bad for someone whose too old. He appeared to have been busted open but good. Was he the only one who didn't need a head wrapped in bandages. Damn he had that huge cut on the left side that was exposed, and a little band aid on the right side. He looked worse for it then Asstin, Fagle, and Crock. But they all come out with damn near a whole box of the largest band aids the company makes. Probably for less stiches then UT got. I was concerned there would be some backlash towards UT for dumping Rikishi off that cell. Why, don't ask. I don't know. I was wrong. The fans went nuts everytime he mentioned it during his promo. We also saw footage that I cannot recall seeing at the actual PPV. During the Armageddon video they showed scenes of UT on top of cage bleeding. It must have come from another camera angle or after the PPV went off the air after he had gotten up but before he climbed down. During his interview, we also saw another shot of Taker with the tongue hanging out and wagging like he was loving the fact his blood was rolling down his face. In past weeks we have seen the American Bad Ass been refined some. Since HIAC was announced and after it took place, we saw alot of what some could say is Old Taker. No I don't think he is going back to it, but bringing some more of the basic fundementals of the early days of the gimmick and adding them to the newer ones to slam The Undertaker as a whole into the new millenium. But anyway, UT didn't have to wrestle, but he was seen. So I really can't complain.
