Randy and Taker's feud was so damn fun and entertaining. Respect for those two greatest legends.

This is the Era when the legend killer was on the loose. End Orton really played his role like he was suppose to

[grandcanyon-fuzt]

this feud literally saved Randy's career

[prachi_.]

Undertaker's acting is so much fun to watch, back then in 2005 when i was 9 year old i used to get scared of all this

[stephenblack]

Undertaker be like: so you've chosen death.

[magicmansm]

that little smirk by Taker after he got slapped was brilliant

[ANDREW.]

and you can tell this kid a lot for Randy Orton's careerjust his promos and being able to work with a high-level Talent like that

[maantaran]

This rivalry + 2005 year + Undertaker's physical shape + Mind games + disrespect + storyline script = "GOLD" ❤

[dane.]

Y'all just forgot to show Undertaker's reaction. The fear of The Lord of Darkness is the beginning of knowledge!

[NJDJ]

Wow the fact this was 18 years ago! Time really flies!

Taker vs Orton is one of WWE's greatest rivalries of the 2000s that helped both Orton and Taker in an huge way. For Orton, he re-established himself as one of WWE's biggest heels while gained more credibility as an major top star and main eventer at the time. For Taker, after an lackluster year 2004, his wars with Orton helped him get his groove back and he went on to have epic matches from 2005 to 2013.
