There is no one on the roster currently that I would like to see face taker at mania. That being said I think it should be Mick Foley. I know Foley wants to come back and he would have no problem letting Taker go over to go 20-0. Theres so much build-up they could do, if they were to miss on this opportunity it would truly be a shame
 
Undertaker vs Henry?? Have you all forgotten how bad their last WM match was?

As for Sting - no. Nice idea, but simply not gonna happen. Get over it.

Jericho? Eh, I love Jericho as much as the next guy, but he is simply not someone anyone would buy as a viable threat to the streak.

Mick Foley? Sheesh, and here I thought Jericho was a bad suggestion. Yes, they had a huge rivalry once (one where in 19 out of 20 matches Foley lost), but I can't imagine these two having anyhting but a stinker of a match together these days. Plus there wouldn't be a single soul on the entire planet believing that Foley could win.

Sheamus is not big enough for that spot. In a couple of years Sheamus would be ready, but right now it won't fly.

Orton or Punk. Well, I grant an outside chance of that happening.

But it all doesn't matter, because they ALL BUT ANNOUNCED HIS OPPONENT ALREADY:

Triple H.

(Duh!)

Triple H announced the day after Mania that he would be waiting for Taker so he could try again.
They will have Trips go "Last time you barely left the arena alive. This time you are a dead dead man!" (or something similarly cheesy) and then Triple H Undertaker 2 is on (well, actually 3, but they don't like mentioning that).

I suppose people enjoy ignoring this and speculate about who it might be, but unless Triple H gets hit by a bus or something it's a foregone conclusion.
 
I really don’t want to see another Undertaker/Triple H match. Their last match was great, but I just don’t know what else they can do in there. They gave it their all in that last match.

I would not mind seeing Taker/Orton or Taker/Punk though. Both matches would be great, and both Orton and Punk are two of the biggest stars in the company right now.
 
I wouldn't mind a match with CM Punk.

However, with "Daniel Bryan" hold the MITB, I would really hope for a match between the two, I feel DB could easily carry a match, as he did with Kamala, into an entertaining WWE match.

Mid-Card that is.
 
My first choice for this would undoubtedly be CM Punk, i know that Orton is the face of SD and that most probably makes him the best choice by default, but default just wont do. His last WM match was with HHH and the one before that was Shawn Michaels, so why settle for default when his last two opponent's have been Raw superstars? Punk is gold on the mic and the build up to the match would be epic, Punk would have to play the heel ofcourse cause Taker as the heel in his last match just wont do, i also think it would be unfair to make Punk the heel though as hes been doing great as of late, so i think if this match was to happen Punk would have to play a tweener. Although i did read that Punk may be carrying the title into Mania so im not entirely sure.

Theres so many options here but only a couple that make sense.

Wade Barrett - Him and the Nexus cost Taker that buried alive match against Kane a couple years ago and nothing has came of it, not even a confrontation between the two.

Kane - His kayfabe brother who he has had on and off rivalries with since the begining, in my opinion if both men were fit enough this would be the best option for me, it carries a story and if this were to be Takers last match then why not have it with his brother? I understand that this cant happen as it wouldnt sell as much as "others", but its a favourite of mine.

Orton - In my opinion Orton should be carrying the WHC into mania and retaining it, that would be the best option for Orton in my eyes.

These are only my thought's!
 
hi guys, i would just like to get these first 2 speculations out of the way. taker will not face mark henry or mick foley at wrestlemania. the reason why mark wont be is simply because it has been done before and the reason why mick wont face him is because i really dont think he could match the undertaker at mania, even though taker is slowing down now and fatigue sets in relatively quickly, i still think taker would be to good for foley in the ring now coz foley has battered his body in past matches with taker.

now onto sting, lets be honest, nobody can tell me they would not love to see that match and if you said you dint you would be lying. this match could bring in the biggest revenue for a wrestlemania match in a long time and surpass the last biggest fight at mania which indeed included taker when he faced shawn at mania 25. now, sting is about to face hogan at tna's BFG ppv and then there is no real plans for sting after that match at the moment. sting is not like alot off the wrestlers these days and does not sign lengthy contracts in tna and normally are around 3 month contracts just to see what happens. now, sting would off normally signed his new contract by now but has not done anything yet and thats why i think he is the one that has no contract after BFG. if this is planned well and both superstars stay free off injuries i see no reason why they could not put on a wrestlemania classic. now the biggest issue is can wwe sign sting and in my opinion sting would love to face taker win or lose just because off the simularities off both wrestlers.

the most likely candidates to face taker at mania would be cm punk or triple h. the reason why i think punk could really test the undertaker is the fact that he could really get under his skin before mania. punk is so good at making himself publicly hated and thats why i think he could do it. now for triple h, hunter said he will be waiting for him when he returns, but the problem is that taker is rumoured to return at vengeance or before the ppv, this is why i dont think it would be hhh at mania just because undertaker is returning whilst hhh is feuding with near enough all of the roster at that time and it would not build all the way up to mania with triple h with the current situation.

last but not least, and this is a long shot but could build up with the right planning. what if undertaker won the royal rumble and john cena was champion going into mania, now stay with me guys, what if taker won the rumble, cena vs rock is already planned for mania but taker choose cena when he won the rumble. now this could work, cena has not faced taker at mania, the rock has not faced taker at mania and obviously cena and rock have never faced each other at all. cena vs rock is so hyped up for mania already and throwing taker into the match via the rumble win would be one of the most brilliant matches ever. i cant stress enough how much publicity cena vs rock is going to get and is already receiving from the wwe universe, but putting taker into is not going to disrupt cena and rock plans coz there feud is lasting all the way to next years summerslam. cena would love to face taker, rock wants to face taker at some point again and the best time to do that is in a triple threat match at mania. if this was to happen i would be so happy because it would be a block buster for wwe and would send the ratings through the roof.

let me know what you think guys
holla
 
Ok, so we know the guy is going to win and go 20-0 but what after that? everyone assumes he will retire, but actually i reckon he could go again and lose the next match, i mean hear me out, but i think he actually should lose 20-1 and THEN retire, i mean ewhat good is a streak if it's never ended? I mean there's nothing then to aim for, there's no point in trying coz even if someone did get to 30-0 after taker, the fact that he bowed out undefeated means they'll never be seen as beating him, i think he has to lose to give something for the younger guys to strive for.
 
TMZ broke the news last night that Brock Lesnar was seeking release so he could return to the WWE so he could be a part of the WWE 12 video game.

However, we all know there's some legit heat between Taker & Lesnar.

Thoughts?

Personally I think there's going to be a lot of pressure on both Taker & Lesnar to have a match, probably at Wrestlemania. And with the legit heat between to the two, who's going to take the fall in that match?

Even if Brock returns to WWE, which is unlikely, to challenge Taker at Wrestlemania, I do not think Brock should be the one to end the streak. I see two options for the streak; the first is for Taker to go 20-0 and retires with the streak intact, and the second is to let a new rising star to end it before Taker retires. WWE has a new fan base, and I believe not a lot of WWE audience know who Brock is, or are interested in seeing him beat the Undertaker.
 
If this match were to happen and that's a BIG IF Wrestlemania 28 will be the most highly anticipated and bought Wrestlemania of all time. You put this match with Cena v Rock and Punk v ??? just these three matches alone is worth the 60-80 bucks. At the end the streak will live on.
 
No. We're not giving the streak to a guy who is going to fuck off immediately. That's probably the worst possible way they could ever end it and they would get nothing out of it besides the payday. If they want a big payday, just put Taker against Cena at 29. Brock has ALREADY proven that wasting time on him didn't get the WWE far in the long run; they had a credible main eventer for about a year and a half before he left. Now he's just gonna walk the fuck back in and take the STREAK? There's no way that I could ever support that and I would think that most rational fans would agree with me.
 
I haven't read anywhere that he was actively seeking a "release" from UFC and looking to return to WWE. After having read his book, his view on WWE and the world of professional wrestling doesn't seem to coincide with what your saying. Now, I did read on WZ where he references Austin and shoots a thinly veiled reference to Taker in the IGN interview, but nothing that says "I am done with UFC and coming back to WWE."

I personally never saw the appeal in Lesner. Athletically, he is extremely gifted. He also has a tremendous presence, I will grant you that. But he lacks what I feel is the fundamental difference between a sport like UFC and pro wrestling -- charisma. Comes out, twists his head a little and that's it. He needed someone like Paul E to get over. Just my opinion, though.
 
I don't know about all of this. In a report on the main page, he called Stone Cold "a chickenshit" and said that there was "somebody" who had a winning streak that needed to be ended. This surprised me because I thought that him and Stone Cold were cool now and there's been so much speculation on whether Taker and him have heat or not that you don't know what to believe. You've also got to keep in mind that I believe that he was promoting the WWE '12 game.
 
The recognition of breaking the streak should never be given to anyone, especially to someone like Brock Lesnar who has already shown that he's not loyal to the industry.

The streak epitomizes the Undertaker and what he's all about: Loyalty. That streak is like a reward for his loyalty towards the WWE through the years. To give it to a man who quit the WWE after receiving relatively good treatment from management? That ain't happening.
 
I don't think Brock will be back, but if he does come back to fight the Phenom at Mania I'm sure Brock will lose. I can't see Vince letting someone who walked out on him breaking the greatest streak in wrestling history. I still believe Triple H. will get a third shot at the streak with H.B.K. as referee. It could have a good build up wondering if he will help his best friend, the Game, beat Undertaker, the man who ended his wrestling career at Wrestlemania 26.
 
Brock Lesnar vs. The Undertaker is one of my dream matches. Lesnar is a behemoth that can look a terrible threat to the Undertaker's streak. And it seems like Undertaker really wants Lesnar to go back in the ring with him once again. Asking him "you wanna do it?".

Although Lesnar just coming back in the video game is more than enough for me but If he lose at his fight in December there might still be a chance.
 
The streak is not as important to me as other things in defining The Undertakers career. He will always be the one who got me into wrestling and has been my favourite wrestler, superstar, character ever since but I still would never want to see it ended. not now after all this time and especially not to somebody who will probably leave the WWE straight after like Brock Lesnar or Sting. I think Undertaker has earned the right to retire with the streak intact now. He never needs to lose to a young talent to put them over either... any young up and comer would get over by just taking on the streak and giving it everything they have but still falling short. I was never much of a Brock fan back when he was in WWE...he is a beast and has a lot going for him but just was not for me.

If Brock did come back I am assuming it would be only for a brief period of time. Perhaps in this Era of reality he could come back with some sort of MMA Stable who think Pro Wrestling is not too credible and try to prove it by taking out the roster...I don't know but no I hop he does not end the streak.
 
No.

If anything Lesnar puts Taker over, after all Taker put Brock over a bunch of times back in 2002-2003, so it's time for Brock to do the job to Taker.
 
Brock Lesnar is a top draw in the UFC. He is about to fight a highly regarded heavyweight in December, Allistar Overeem. The last thing on Brock's mind is a match with Taker. How does him being put into WWE's newest video game turn into him making a return. Brock may come back to WWE in some sort of capacity, but he will never wrestle again.
 
The "phenom" moniker was passed from Snuka to Taker at Wrestlemania 7...beginning the streak. Loyalty or not...the time has come for Taker to do the same...the only question is...to whom?

The answer is going to seem crazy to some...but I still think it is Kofi Kingston. Let Air Boom hold the tag titles for a while...have Kofi turn on Evan...and pick up where he left off after the Orton feud. Go from there into Undertaker feud...BREAK the streak...HAVE THE TORCH PASSED...A new phenom!

Let me go put on my asbestos suit now...LOL
 
Brock isn't coming back to WWE. I don't know what report you read, but it's false. He isn't seeking release to be in the game. Dana gave permission to WWE to put Brock in as a wrestler and make no mention of his MMA.

Brock will never...EVER be a full time wrestler again. He may do a program in the future, but right now he's in the Heavyweight title picture in UFC and has a #1 contender fight in December. Why the hell would he risk injury in WWE when he is trying to get back on top in the UFC? It makes no sense.
 
The last 5 or 6 years of WWE have sucked because they invested so much into Lesnar and he just jetted after getting the best rookie year ever. I don't like the idea of him coming backafter that. It leave's a sour taste in my mouth that someone who just jumps around gets ME spots without paying his dues.

After the Goldberg vs Lesnar debacle, I don't think I trust him to wrestle at WMania. There's no way he'd beat the streak even if he did come back, that's one of the line's I wouldn't keep watching if they crossed it.

Taker will keep his streak into retirement, the streak is more marketable with a 0, than a 1. Even after Taker's gone that can use it as a standard or as a measuring stick as well as the 2?-0 DVD will generate a good amount of cash.
 
Like others have said, I don't remember any news saying he was seeking a release from UFC. If anything, he's fighting to stay in it since he got sick and wasn't the same upon his return.

Anyways, I'm not sure if I want to see Brock in WWE again. I was pretty angry when he left. He was given everything a superstar could want in the WWE and he just walked away. Now, there may have been more too it but it was a big F U to the company and the fans.

He's doing well in the UFC and should stay there for as long as possible. He can only be a Ultimate Fighter for so long. You can't do that forever. He could return to WWE in 4 years and still have a good run since it's fake. As for returning to beat Taker and end the streak. NO... just no.

P.S. I look forward to beating the crap out of Brock with Arn Anderson in WWE 12'. AA will return with my new 4 Horsemen stable and destroy everyone!
 
Of course, being in WWE '12 begs the obvious question - would Lesnar ever consider returning to WWE programming? "It would have to be under the right circumstances," Lesnar said. "I don't know if Mr. McMahon and I could come to the right circumstances. If it was good for me and good for him I think that we could do something. At the end of the day, my life, my character and my profession - I take them very seriously. At the end of the day, if it doesn't help me or my family out, and it doesn't make sense for me to do, then I don't do it. Everything would have to fall in the right place, but would I consider it? Absolutely."

Thats from an interview on IGN. http://ps3.ign.com/articles/119/1199486p1.html

He is not looking for a release, he just said that if the circumstances are right for him and wwe, he would consider to return.

And now, with all this "part-time" schedule that some stars are doing (rock, austin, and seems that foley and jericho will do too), i can see Brock coming back in some capacity.

Full time wrestler? No way. Part time? probably.
 
hmmmm idk, taker is pretty tough when it comes WM time, i dont think lesnar could break it, plus, i dont think undertaker would want it broken unless it was a top guy with 10 good years left in him (i think that was what he said a long time ago). brock lesnar vs stone cold steve austin would be a good match. Actually brock lesnar vs john cena would be good as well. if brock was to return it would be interesting as to who he would go after. a brock vs undertaker WM match would draw, and i think they could put on a great match. The 2 of them have great chemistry and i think these 2 in a match, well it would blow the roof off the place. then again after how everything went down when brock left, id say its unlikely that VKM will let him come back. plus brock seems wrapped up in UFC that a wwe return is unlikely.
