Ranking every gimmick The Undertaker has had in WWE

#8 The American Badass

A much-needed change, if nothing else

The height of the Attitude Era somewhat forced The Undertaker to adopt a more realistic character. So after spending over half a year out due to injury, it was out with death and in with motorcycles for 'Taker. He was a normal human for the first time in WWE.

American Badass Undertaker would come out on a Harley-Davidson to Kid Rock and Limp Bizkit while altering his moveset by replacing the Tombstone with the Last Ride. The bandana-wearing beast became a mere mortal with no special powers.

It helped The Undertaker avoid being stale as the satanic lord of darkness, infusing him with more personality. 'Taker remained fresh thanks to the American Badass character, but this era did not represent some of his best in-ring work.

This remains a divisive part of The Undertaker's career and while he had some memorable moments as the American Badass, a slight tweak in his character would bring out something better in him. Anyway, this was a much-needed change for The Undertaker.
