What happened with the Undertaker ?

I know wrestling is said to be scripted but it's fun to watch. I remember that the Undertaker in the 90's seemed invincible.He had a creepy way of getting up when knocked down, he seemed almost impervious to pain,he was slow and menacing until the 2000's when his character completely changed and he seemed to be easier to hurt,he dropped most of his gimmicks(the coffin e.t.c),he became a lot faster,his finishers now included a modified powerbomb called The Last Ride and he lay down flat and got up groggily when knocked down.Was his (supposed) script changed or was it the effects of age?|||he got hurt.|||i think you have got that i bit wrong because he done the tome stone and he still does the same things|||The undertaker has changed his image over the years but I believe that it has to do with his age and injuries over the years have taken a toll on the undertaker. I still remember that he would ride to the ring on a motorcycle. Besides his age they change the script to accommodate the wrestler. For example, the rockers when the seperated they changed the script to accommodate Shawn Micheal's. I hope this helps.|||His soul has been seperated from his body, this is actually a temporary condition that has happened to taker before, and he will recover from.|||'Undertaker's gimmick was dramatically modified when he returned in May 2000 at Judgment Day 2000, inadvertently costing The Rock the WWF Championship to Triple H, in line with wrestling's change to a more realistic approach. His gimmick became that of an intimidating biker. Along with the gimmick change, Undertaker also began using the Last Ride (Elevated Powerbomb) as his finishing move, as opposed to the Tombstone Piledriver which had become synonymous with the Undertaker over the years. He was referred to as the "American Bad ***." Unlike many gimmick changes with little or no explanation, this was generally well-received by fans, since it reflected his real-life personality'|||Recovering from injuries.
