    This version of Undertaker is my 2nd favorite, behind '97-'98 Taker. Heel Big Evil was so vicious, nasty, and badass. His Undisputed title run although short was very good in terms of matches and variety of feuds and opponents. From Triple H to Hogan to RVD to The Rock and Angle, it was awesome. His Ladder Match with Jeff Hardy is also one of my top 5 favorite matches ever. Wrestling storytelling at its best.

The rivalries & matches w/Flair, Hogan, HHH, The Rock, Austin, Lesnar, Team Extreme & Angle. I really enjoyed the ABA/Big Evil character.

    My favourite thing about Big Evil was that Undertaker in 01 was very bland, during the Alliance story he was a glorified mid-carder and the turn fixed him very quick. One of my favourite wwe promo videos is Undertaker v The Rock from No Way Out 2002, can't find it on TH-cam but it's truly epic, he's at the peak of his respect storyline and Rock is just awesome when he's being serious

    As soon as I saw the notification and it was from this channel featuring a new Undertaker video, I didn't hesitate to click it because I knew it was going to deliver and I wasn't disappointed.
    Even though Undertaker's undisputed title reign was short lived, he did a lot during that time and was a fantastic heel champion. He destroyed Hulk Hogan to win the title at Judgment Day and defeated Triple H at King of the ring to retain.
    In my opinion, July 02 was when he had two great matches back to back in the same week, he had a classic ladder match on Raw against Jeff Hardy and put him over in a big way, he wrestled against Kurt Angle in a classic match on Smackdown to a draw.
    I absolutely loved Undertaker's heel run as the 'Red Devil' character, he delivered some of his best work on the mic and in the ring.
    Keep up the good work 😊 👏

    Even though I despised the character at the time, in hindsight this was my favourite version of The Undertaker. Using him as a dominant heel on RAW was genius, and he did a solid job of getting RVD & Jeff over. I think there was more potential to be mined from that dynamic with the lower card. They should have kept using him as a heel but also kept him strong like they were doing. There could have been big money in seeing the bully Undertaker being toppled, but the Vengeance Triple Threat was not the way to do it, as it left RAW superstars with no momentum.

    The Big Evil gimmick really served The Undertaker well in 2002, refreshing his character significantly. The feuds he engaged in with Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, Triple H, Brock Lesnar, The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and Jeff Hardy were some of the most entertaining and underrated of his entire career. The Undisputed title may have been terribly booked and storylines often had no cohesion, but it was still a chaotic and fun time to be a WWE fan. A lot was happening and you could never predict the next explosive event or story development that would occur. The problem was how complicated it became due to the lack of structure and long-term storylines. I wish the WWE would give this another try at some point in the future.

    Looking back maybe Triple H shouldn’t have dropped the belt to Hulk Hogan, at least not so soon, I just think he could have had a longer run with the undisputed title.

    • @kodyhammer6497

      I agree. The only reason Hogan got the title was that WWE was trying to capitalize on the popularity of the Rock Hogan match at WM 18

      No it was the right choice in hindsight as it allowed Triple H to become World Heavyweight Champion and the subsequent feud with Shawn Michaels.

    When he got the title in 2002 you got the feeling that this was his favourite title win up until the time, his previous 3 as the deadman he had to act as Undertaker, this victory over Hogan, he could be Mark and cherish the few minutes in the ring after he won

    Taker's arms crossed at the intro. I'm sure that was the Raw in Oakland in June. He was looking at Jeff Hardy. Wore my work uniform and a lady jump up at the Stone Cold music and beer all on my pants. Austin never showed, if I remember.

      Samuel Duplessis agreed. Personally I think it’s one of the nicest versions of the wwe title, in an ideal world (if it was me) I’d have “big gold” on Raw & this on Smackdown

      @SamuelDuplessis12 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@superrobz yeah man, but to me personally when it comes to the WWE Title, I grew up on the spinner belt so for me that's my number 1 belt, but I love this version of the Title as well.
      And what you said about having the "Big Gold" belt on RAW and the Undisputed Title on Smackdown, instead of the Twizzler title, I like it but for me personally, I would have kept the current WWE title on RAW and have the "Big Gold" belt on Smackdown.
      It would make the Smackdown World Title look more prestigious.

    And why was HHH awarded the title?
    Because he beat UNDERTAKER in a #1 contenders match on RAW the week before.
    Then at the end of that RAW Stephanie McMahon said Brock Lesner and the undisputed championship was exclusive to SMACKDOWN.
    A little fact everyone always forgets to mention.

    That Jeff Hardy/Taker match was good. It was made obvious that Jeff stood no chance, but at the same time there was a chance that he could pull a win out of thin air. JR's commentary was also excellent. Great stuff
