i think the idea behind someone being "insane" is that they can be totally fine and then snap for no reason. i'm not saying i wouldn't have preferred him to be totally generically psychotic, because that would have been really fun :), but i AM saying that they could definitely go somewhere with this that wouldn't compromise the character they set up. | dskillz

What was the point of the promos putting him over as a maniac when he was going to be like this? The best thing would have been is to have him attacking everyone and then UT taking him under his wing to direct that rage. But WWE is showing it's talent for making people look like goofs. | Swordsman Yen

Well, he did spend a long time in jail. Maybe he took one look at "the biggest dog in the yard", decided that he didn't want to try and fight his way up to the top and just went ahead and dropped the soap. Er, figuratively speaking.
I mean, Oz was a really high-rated show... | shea

And Untertaker was sort of channeling Shillinger, I think.
