New Report On The Undertaker's Health And Status, Will He Skip WrestleMania Next Year

[Martin Gabriel]

New details are coming out about The Undertaker's status for WrestleMania 29 and it's said that The Deadman is not in good shape at all. One thing that wasn't reported after his WrestleMania match with Triple H this year is that the hip replacement he had a few years back was damaged pretty bad.

There is talk that some of the surgical work he has had done over the past few years is really beat up to the point that he's back to square one. Taker had been going to see specialists in New York but he is so beat up now that WWE has been flying the doctors to his home in Texas instead.

There is also a lot of talk within WWE that if he does end up doing anything at WrestleMania 29, it likely won't be a big time physical match like we are used to. As we have noted, there is talk of having Taker work the Royal Rumble as a surprise entrant with the idea he can do a few memorable spots before being eliminated.

Right now The Undertaker is not being figured into any major WrestleMania plans internally. The feeling is if he wants to do it and feels like he can do it, WWE will make room for him. It wouldn't be the first time but it's possible could see The Undertaker skip a WrestleMania in 2013.

Some people within WWE are under the impression that the "end of an era" hype from this year's WrestleMania against Triple H really was the end as far as big time WrestleMania matches for The Undertaker go.

Thoughts?

'Taker didn't have a hip replacement "a few years back".

 

[Diet Soda]

I'd rather not see him wrestle at all than see him hobbling around the ring like a geriatric.

 

[Mr. Artistic guy]

Would be annoying but understandable. I don't think it's true though.

 

[George Steele's Barber]

Diapers are expensive.

 

[Hollywood Naitch]

I hadn't heard anything about Undertaker ever having a hip replacement?? Is that actual fact?

I'd be shocked if he could perform like he has been doing at recent WM's with a fake hip tbh.

 

[Slyfox696]

What a wimp. Sting is older than Undertaker and he's still wrestling. And Ric Flair wishes somebody would want him to wrestle.

Did someone say Undertaker, Wrestlemania, and now Sting, all in one thread?

Sting vs. Undertaker at Wrestlemania!!!

Darn right! Because they both wear black and stuff!

 

[klunderbunker]

Darn right! Because they both wear black and stuff!

And Sting is screwing the fans by not doing it! Because "I don't want to work for WWE" is completely ridiculous and we should take away Sting's biggest claim to fame to watch two guys in their middle age fighting because it would have been an overrated match fifteen years ago!

IDK, The Walking Dead-man gimmick could really work well right about now

 

[justinsayne]

Am I the only person that is more interested in a Sting/Cena match than a Sting/Taker match?

 

[klunderbunker]

Not really. I'd like that one more too I think.

 

[Diet Soda]

You shall rest in... ACK!!!

In recent interviews, one actually, Sting said going to WWE is still an option. Oh, and who does he want to face? The Deadman, of course.

It isn't as far fetched as most seem to believe.

 

[Remy LaCroix]

Sting vs. The Undertaker at Wrestlemania 30, I'm calling it now.

 

[SD619]

Sting vs. The Undertaker at Wrestlemania 30, I'm calling it now.

Just like people have been calling it for years

As for the report, it is nicely worded in a way that avoids any certainty. Everything that is reported as "maybe/likely/there is talk".

 

[Wolf Pac]

Am I the only person that is more interested in a Sting/Cena match than a Sting/Taker match?

I've always wanted to see that and a Sting/Rock match more than a Sting/Taker match.

I'm an UT/Sting guy but first I want to see Sting get some of that hair-in-a-can stuff to fix his bald spot.

 

[The Crock]

Between Sting and 'Taker, you might have one full head of hair.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

He'll be there. Maybe not wrestle, but I doubt they do a WrestleMania without some form of Undertaker involvement.

 

[Dr. Mantis Toboggan, M.D.]

i'm fine with it. i'm over that senior citizen with a chuck liddell haircut and eyeliner

 

[AndThat'sTheBottomLine]

I'd rather he go ahead and retire than have to perform half-ass because he can barely get around the ring. Taker is one of my all time favorite wrestlers and I hate to see him like that.

 

[Hollywood Naitch]

Undertaker has too much pride to give us a shitty half-assed match. He will retire before becoming an embarrassment in the ring, unlike Hogan and Flair

 

[XXJJ]

Undertaker vs Sting at WM 30 would be great. It they cant get Sting, Cena should face him. Cena vs Taker at WM 30 would be a big $$$ match.

Since he is not fully healthy, I think they should let him skip WM 29. It would make his WM 30 appearance even more special. That should be his last match.
