>>9657763The first person to ever brawl and cause Taker a loss was Dusty, at the 1990 survivor series.
Taker could act as the "leave the past behind" rival for cody at the start, but transitioning into his western mortician persona after cody buries him or something, becoming a spectrum of the golden era, representing Cody's attachement and the end of it at the same time.
Things like a wax model of Dusty being displayed at a coffin or a hologram could be used as mind games.
