an undertaker question?
i was watching a wwe dvd and i saw undertaker as like a biker who was actually normal and could speak normaly without doing that fake accent. But then i saw a video of him when he first strated as himself as he is now like a goth and now he obviously is back to being a goth. What made him go biker with trimmed hair and then go back to his usual goth and long haired self? why did he feel like changing his look?

I think it was just a case of the WWE storyliners continually changing The Undertaker's gimmick in order for his persona to stay popular with the fans.Since his debut at Survivor Series 1990, Taker has become one of WWE's top Superstars.By having different personas for him since then, it keeps the brand fresh and interesting and also keeps the rating up.
wow @ all the wrong answers.
in 1999 undertaker got injured. he wanted a change since he did the deadman gimmick for 9 years.
at judgement day 2000 he returned

i swear thats not me rick rolling u...if u don't believe me go to youtube and put in undertaker returns at judgement day 2000
anyways he called himself the american bad ***. in 2002 he cut his hair after he started his new "respect me" gimmick. in about july or august 2002 he turned face again and eventually started a fued with vince mcmahon and brock lesnar. in novemeber 2003 kane buried him alive..again.

when he came back at wmXX he came back as the deadman.
either way undertaker is popular. hell right now hes (in terms of live crowd reaction) the #1 or #2 most over guy in the wwe.
wen he waz a biker he fought vince in a barried alive match n den kane came threw taker in n vince one
taker came baq as da gimmick now da goth look
he went biker around 2002ish, maybe 03. he was "the american badass", a biker all american who more resembled the man who portrays the undertaker, mark callaway. i suppose they figured the fans were tired of the dead man, but after they had limp bizkit come out and perform the undertakers theme song live, they knew they had messed up and made him dead again pretty quickly after
cause he wasn't respected as much as a biker than he was a goth
I heard its because he wanted to be more like himself and the wwe agreed and he was getting fat
i think the undertaker had to change because they didnt want kids screaming mommy! mommy! it's the american badass! and the mom'd say the american what?then, little kids in the world over wouldn't watch wrestling, and the fans # would drop
american badass angle
i think it might have been in response to 9/11 or something, because he might have wanted to show overseas fans that america was still strong
i don't know
WWE needed ratings.
