So, I was digging around the internet the other day, trying to figure out when exactly The Undertaker ditched the whole American Badass thing and went back to being the Deadman. You know, because why not? Turns out, it’s a bit of a trip down memory lane.
First off, I had to remember when he even became the American Badass. It was way back in 2000, right after he came back from an injury. He swapped the spooky stuff for a motorcycle and some bandanas. I spent a good hour just watching old clips of him riding down to the ring. Good times.
Then came the real head-scratcher – when did he go back to the dark side? I found a bunch of forum posts and articles. Some folks were saying it was a gradual thing, others were saying it was a specific match. It was all over the place.
After some more digging, I finally found what I was looking for. It was at the match, 2003. He had a “Buried Alive” match against Vince McMahon. Classic, right? He lost that match, got “buried alive,” the whole shebang.
- Started with research.
- Checked out old videos.
- Read some fan theories.
- Found the key event: the match in 2003.
- Watched the match.
But get this – he didn’t come back as the Deadman right away. He was just… gone for a while. Then, at an important match in 2004, boom! There he was, back in black, full-on Deadman mode. It was epic!
So, there you have it. The Undertaker turned heel after the American Badass run after getting buried alive in 2003 and making a spooky return in 2004. It took some serious internet sleuthing, but I finally cracked the code. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go watch some more wrestling.
