It does feel different without the Undertaker, but if hes gone for good after Mania 28, than i have no problem with it, but I highly doubt Wrestlemania 28 will be his last, i think it was JR who said it, if he only does Wrestlemania programs, hes got atleast 3-5 years left in him, that is if he doesn't get any career ending injuries like Edge, Austin etc.
 
agree with everything Hamler said also if they want to end the streak even on 20-0 but undertaker has done enough for the wwe its time to sit back and relax and retire. i think takers last match will be next year WM or if he doesnt i think they will only have taker wrestle once a year. i do 99 % think we will see undertakers LAST MATCH at WM 28
 
This thread again.

it was his last Mania 3 years ago, 2 years ago, last year and this year's

Him wrestling 1 match (or 1 rotation if he decides) means he can preserve himself for years to come. The grueling WWE schedule for the mainstream stars is the reason why so many bodies break down, Undertaker keeping himself fit and only working 1 or 2 calendar months isn't going to lead him to retire soonish.

His body is quite a bit larger and more beaten than say Ric Flair's, but working limited, we could see Taker still fighting past WM 30.

If he does plan the retirement angle, we will see it coming when he finally pushes his match this year.

When he does retire? Nothing's going to change, the streak is just an easy draw for the main PPV, and we only see a couple segments involving it, Taker only worked about 2 hours on Camera in 2011, I don't wanna say I won't miss him, but his best years are over. I still wouldn't put it by him to pull out a 5 star match with nearly anyone on the roster.

Undertaker is one of those guys, I'd expect to sign a legends contract and still pop in here or there while being in character (sort of like Sgt. Slaughter, except for when he was the medical chief for most of the Attitude era). I could definitely see Taker being a antagonistic character without being a wrestler, but maybe not in this era.
 
No, Taker will not retire anytime soon, I mean come on, hes not even obligated to wrestle anymore. All Taker has to do now is come to the rumble and make a few other appearances and have one big match at the beginning of the year at WM and get his 1 million dollar yearly salary. Who would quit such a job? And WWE would give up anything to keep Taker in their roster. Taker was a WWE/WWF generated superstar, wwf put so much time into him and taker has also put so much time into wwe/wwf to where he has become a legend. Outside of the United States, Nobody cares about the hogans, the rey mysterios, the rocks, the austins, and the cenas. Everybody cares about the Undertaker, like Del Rio said, In Mexico Rey mysterio is just another wrestler and so was hbk, the true legend is the Undertaker. Giving up taker is like giving up HHH or even Vince. So taker won't be retiring anytime soon but, just to generate opinions. I think Taker should end his career at Wrestlemania 30 against Kane *his buddy in storyline and kayfabe* their storyline has been going on for the last 15 years. So why not Kane? If not kane then maybe Cena *the face of WWE* or even Stone Cold steve Austin *leader of the attitude era, ending the career of an attitude era legend*

The notion that those other wrestlers you mentioned aren't important outside the United States is completely asinine. WWE's been airing in multiple countries for years, moreso today than ever before. If what you said was true, they would never draw when they went to a foreign country, but they do. And many of their superstars were respected performs among the premiere promotions in some foreign countries, so even the hardcore fans would remember guys like Chris Jericho and Bryan Danielson.
 
The one who can end the streak is Randy Orton now before I get bashed by everyone hear me out, majority find "The Viper" gimmick to be boring and a model off the "Super Cena" but that's the peoples opinion so the reason I say Randy Orton to end the streak is
1) he came close before
2)he's got nothing and no one to feud with anymore
3) By Wrestlemania Barrett and Rhodes will already be major stars so no need to worry about these feuds and
4) Randy started as the legend killer in the business so why not pick up the gimmick again? It worked out great for him before and Randy has the cocky "look" already so nothing to change with his appearance and people love randy as a heel, I can't imagine little kids looking up to randy as a face

Now the way to bring back the Legend Killer gimmick is simple, have him face a legend in the Royal Rumble for example Foley now that he's back and he can start this by saying how he let Foley off easy in 2004 and etc etc Orton destroys Foley now keeps building saying he wants to do something bigger and better, how he's done alot in wrestling and is going to go at the streak one more time and Orton is perfect for ending the streak because he is a money-maker in the WWE. If not Orton then i do have another choice and that being Dibaise but that's for another day guys!
 
Ok i'm going to post my dream Streak Match:

Brothers Of Destruction versus DX- If KANE or Undertaker is pinned the streak is over. If Shawn or HHH is pinned then HHH career is over

Hear me out

both sides have never fought a WM together. this match would make it believable that the streak can indeed be over being as Taker doesnt need to be pinned. Fans all over would be wondering if HHH and HBK combined could pull it off, or will DX be number 20.

Kane could shine like never before in this match, HBK is most believable to come back FOR THIS MATCH ONLY against the one who ended it all.

HHH needs someone he can trust...only one he can trust is Shawn with his career.

4 guys, two of the greatest teams, one Streak versus one Career. Brother in arms. DX vs the Brothers Of Destruction.

this IMO would out shine the Rock vs Cena match. the Punk vs Austin. even the Cody vs Goldust. and those are also GREAT MATCHES!!! but how do you F with the streak on the level of what i stated?

Thoughts???
 
I mentioned this in the WM28 thread.

But i'm officially throwing the name DOLPH ZIGGLER into the hat.

Think about it, Ziggler is on the rise... Ziggler is close to a modern generation Shawn Michaels as your ever going to get, and the Zig Zag is clearly one of the very best in ring performers that WWE currently has. The only 2 guys who can match or better Ziggler are D.Bryan and Punk.

I think if built up properly, that Ziggler vs Undertaker has alot of potential to be an epic match. No doubt.

The challenge would be building up Ziggler's heel heat, and making him a credible opponent to end the streak.

If Ziggler doesn't main event, this is perfect for him.
 
Who gave King Patrick rep power ??? what a load of cr*p..

The same people who didn't give you rep power.

I could see Undertaker being added to the Rock vs. Cena match at this year’s WrestleMania, making it a Triple Threat Undertaker Streak match. If you think the originally scheduled Main Event was going to get 1 million buys, could adding the Phenom get 2 million?? Hey, it’s better than Undertaker vs. Kane III, or Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels III, or Undertaker vs. Triple H III, or Undertaker vs. (anyone he has already faced) II. He’s never faced The Rock or Cena at Mania. Why not!?

As for WM XXIX, the only SuperStar the Undertaker should face, if he is going for 21 – 0 would be…the Undertaker. It’s the best way to go out. Bringing back his Doppelganger not only guarantees an Undertaker victory, but could ease up the “work load” of the Legendary Dead Man. As a matter of fact, make it a Fatal Four Way match. The Western Mortician vs. The Lord of Darkness vs. The American Bad @$$ vs. Mark Calaway (Similar to Cactus Jack vs. Mankind vs. Dude Love vs. Mick Foley in my Smackdown vs. Raw 2007 video game, Fatal Four Way for the Hardcore Title.) I’m sure the WWE can find 3 people to impersonate the Undertaker for his Grande Finale on the Grandest Stage Of Them All!!

I got a better idea.

I think the Undertaker should face two opponents this year that can seriously potentially end the Undertaker’s Streak. Of course it has to be SuperStars he has never faced at WM before. I just didn’t like the idea that HBK and HHH get WM rematches, but you already knew that. Kane is one thing, it’s his brother, but DX should have had one shot and done. WM XXVI should have been HBK vs. HHH in a Retirement match and WM XXVII should have been HHH vs. Sheamus, but whatever.

The two SuperStars I think would make great opponents for Taker this year are Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair. I’d like to see a Face Hogan and a Heel Flair going after the Phenom. They are all old and slow, so I’d think they would be evenly matched. It’s not like we’re going to see Hogan and Flair doing Cruiserweight moves anyway. Obviously the Undertaker will win, but having Hogan and Flair in there would really make this the greatest WM Undertaker Streak match ever…name value wise.
 
I really can only imagine one of two things happening:

Mark Henry carrying the title into Wrestlemania and dropping to the Undertaker who retires as champion.

OR

Kane going on a rampage and the Undertaker returns to put an end to it.

HHH is still a possibility and that may be why he brought up their match recently but I imagine the HHH/Interim GM angle will roll into WM.
 
We know Rock v Cena but the other three big matches should be as follows:

  • Jericho returns as wins the Rumble! Challenges Punk for WWE Championship! Surely!?
  • The wholw WHC situation is unpredictable atm... hmmmm I wouldn't mined seeing a heel Bryan as Champ vs (If back from injury in time?) Mysterio! Could be intresting bout?
  • The Streak... I think Taker's is penciled in for a WM30 retirement. So any talk of it ending this year would be a surprise! For this year I wouldn't mined seeing something like Taker v Del Rio or... wait for it... Ted DiBiase (This wont happen) but something along the story arc of Taker's debut and all that jazz!

Any other thoughts & ideas??

"...And it will be the end of the world as you know it.”
 
Taker vs. Foley
Taker vs. Rhodes
Taker vs. Ziggler
Taker vs. Bryan
Taker vs. Orton
Taker vs. Nash
Taker vs. Barrett
Taker vs. Clay
Taker vs. Kane
Taker vs. HHH
Taker vs. Henry
Taker vs. The Miz
Taker vs. Del Rio
Taker vs. Christian

Those are the only ones who could face The Undertaker. 5 of them he has already defeated at Wrestlemania, in 7 matches.

I know they have laid the ground work, but I really don't think HHH is the right opponent.

I would rather see him face Orton, Rhodes, The Miz, Ziggler, Christian or Bryan.
 
IMO Orton is the perfect opponent for Undertaker at this year WM. It would kind be like Taker wrestling Cena. It would be a big time match. Their will actually be some thought that the streak might end. Kind of like the first HBK-Taker match at WM. You wont get that type of doubt if Taker is facing a Miz/Ziggler/Rhodes etc. You could turn Orton heel, or do face vs face, he could bring back the Legend Killer. Their are a lot of different things you could do with those two.

And it clears the lane for Sheamus. Without Orton in the title picture. Sheamus will no doubt be wrestling in the World Title match at WM.

Taker vs Foley sounds nice for nostalgic purposes, but I worry about putting two guys past their prime into the WWE's best current storyline.

I really dont want to see HHH vs Undertaker for a third time. :banghead:
 
WrestleMania takes place on April 1st 2012, we've still a good bit to go until the next premiere event in sports entertainment, currently one match is confirmed which is the meeting of The Rock and John Cena, where two generations will clash in the hometown of "The Great One". There are matches rumored, like CM Punk vs. Chris Jericho, Cody Rhodes vs. Goldust etc, etc but another match which people are wondering about, is The Undertaker's.

The Undertaker will be going for 20 - 0 in Miami, recognized as one of the greatest streaks in wrestling, Undertaker has defeated the likes of Kevin Nash, Giant Gonzalez, Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels, Edge and Randy Orton to preserve the one thing some describe as the only thing keeping "The Deadman" around. Not been seen since his clash with Triple H at WrestleMania earlier this year, Hunter's comments on this past Monday's RAW has surely got people thinking that maybe their is a third bout in their WrestleMania series.

However, with the return of The Undertaker's on-screen brother Kane this past week, all suited up in his mask once again, the posts are circulating that their may be a third clash between the "Brothers of Destruction" come WrestleMania. One thing I've noticed however is that there are very few people seemingly interested in The Undertaker taking on either Hunter or his demented brother Kane at WrestleMania, most say that the matches have "been done before, we need something new", however they also seem the most likely.

So, if you were to eliminate all other possibilities; not that there are many to be honest, and bring it down to either Kane or Triple H, who would you rather see attempt to halt the undefeated WrestleMania Streak of The Undertaker come April 1st in Miami?

MODERATOR'S NOTE: This isn't a thread to discuss all possible opponents for The Undertaker at Wrestlemania, this is a thread asking whether or not you would rather see him take on Kane or Triple H. If you want to discuss other options, there is a sticky thread in this very section for you to do so. Please stay on topic or else you risk getting an infraction.
 
Personally I would not really want to see either of these two options. If forced to choose, though, I would go for Undertaker/Triple H. That was an incredible match last year, even though both guys are well into their respective years. I have no interest whatsoever in seeing Undertaker versus Kane, mask or no mask. both of their styles are plodding and slow. The whole brothers dynamic has come and gone so many times that doesn't intrigue me at all anymore. I have no desire to see Paul Bearer interjected into the situation either. Triple H and the Undertaker really impressed me last year and while it would not be my first choice, I could live with this match.

If it were up to me, I would like to see Taker pass on WM altogether this year. Let another year of anticipation build up. Let people think he has decided to hang up he boots for good. Give him more time to recuperate from his plethora of injuries and ailments. And then bring him back against his ultimate opponent, someone he could end his illustrious WM career against in style. I'm referring to John Cena.
 
How about a triple threat between Undertaker HHH and Kane. Now that is a match Id love to see... I dont want to see Kane vs Undertaker again and I dont want to see Undertaker vs HHH again... But well as they say two negatives make a positive. Undertaker vs HHH vs Kane. Send off the Dead Man in style
 
neither will happen. shane and undertaker are returning jan 2 to form the ministry of darkness again. it will be team vs team at wrestlemania. taker cant handle a long match anymore. too much to risk

You're dreaming of a fantasy WWE. That is the LEAST likely option to happen at WrestleMania.


Personally, I dont want to see either of these two face Undertaker. Dont take away what Shawn Michaels did, actually trying to beat him twice back to back. Shawn did it, Triple H did it (though not back to back) and Kane already tried (though not through WM). BUT...if I had to choose, I would go with Kane.

The way they brought Kane back could play into it, plus they have history. They are also "family" and that could be Kane's motive...he wants to eliminate Undertaker once and for all and take his pride by ending the streak.

Triple H/Undertaker is so played out. They fought at WM17 and then again last year. WWE made the mistake of playing it off like that was their first match. If they do Triple H/Undertaker again, they would only play it off like this is their second meeting.

Undertaker should fight someone coming up through the roster that is established and looking to make it to the next level. Someone like Ziggler, who plays that cocky role, he could go for weeks saying he can beat Taker. Taker beating him doesn't hurt him and it pushes Ziglger to the ME and gives him a nice rub from a veteran.

I still think Mark should hand pick whoever he wants. Someone he likes in the ring and is willing to work with.
 
If I can't choose, "neither," may I at least abstain from the vote?

In all seriousness, I'd pick Taker v Kane III over the Triple H match-up again. I know it's the less popular pick because their match would probably be slightly better, but the story, if this really is Taker's last WrestleMania, would be better, in my eyes.

Everyone knows Triple H, in a perfect world, would not end the streak. But, with Kane, you'd believe it. Kane is the only character to ever really, "give the Undertaker trouble," in kayfabe terms. If we're supposed to believe that this is the end of the Undertaker, I think a revamped Kane is the best choice.

Honestly, I thought that this was the whole point of revamping Kane and putting him back in the mask. Kane will beat Cena in a feud, which I feel is a mistake, and then he'll call out the Undertaker. I'm pretty certain that this is where they're going. As much as people say that Kane and the Undertaker have given us everything they have, I think Trips and Taker blew their load, last year. I can't see Trips doing anything to Taker that convinces us differently. But, enough time has passed between matches and Kane has reinvented himself (ironically by going back to the past,) to where I think it feels fresh enough.

Again, I know this is the road less traveled, but for what my opinion is worth, I think this is the best option. Taker doesn't need a new face to fight, and Kane would make a better final opponent, to me.
 
What about a Fatal 4 way between Undertaker, Kane , Triple H., and a newly reinstated HBK, where all 3 guys get their third and final shot at the Phenom at Mania. I wouldn`t mind seeing this. Undertaker pins Kane, HBK pins the Game, then Undertaker wins by pinning HBK. After winning, the Phenom falls to the mat, motionless, then the druids come out lead by Paul Bearer to get the Deadman`s body. They get it and put it in the big casket while 20 times the Undertaker`s bell rings, showing all 20 victims of the Phenom on the big screen. Then Paul Bearer could put the urn in the casket as it then sinks into the stage as flames shoot up. Then, a Tombstone rises from the flames with The Undertaker, 20-0 at Wrestlemania, RIP, wrote on it. The announcers could be thanking the Undertaker for the memories and Lawlor could say that it takes a king to know a king and the Undertaker will always be the king of Wrestlemania. That would be a fitting way to close out the Undertakers in ring WWE career.IMO.

If it has to be either Kane or the Game I would choose Triple H. and have HBK as guess ref.

Maybe we will see the Brother`s of Destruction taking on DX. Have to wait and see.
 
Not as many people seem to want to see Jerico take on Taker at 'mania as I do. We've seen HHH vs Taker twice and while last years was an awesome match it by no means lived up to what Michaels and Taker did. Jerico is an amazing worker and while he may not be able to Tombstone the Undertaker he can sure as hell put on one amazing match with the Deadman. Why not have a fresh veteran go after the streak? Have him come back to reclame his "best in the world" title in a feud with Punk, but instead of beating Punk for the title that so many including him self have held why not have him show Punk and the rest of the world that hes the best by doing what no one else has been able to do?
 
I seriously doubt that Kane is going to face Taker, for the 20-0 match the build up would be too short, consider that Kane is going to start a thing with Cena (probably) so that coud take till what...Royal Rumble? where rock and cena starts (again) building something from there with Kane seems unlikely to happen for such an importnat date....

Triple H could be but he is already in his mess with Nash which probably ends at Mania, who the hell knows that feud is crap

I doubt that Taker is going to be at this year WM, the entire ppv focus is around Cena vs Rock, yo dont put the last match of your biguest current legend in a chart in which it wont shine...
 
Right now the two guys I see worthy of facing the undertaker, who aren't already in a match is triple H and Kane who has returned as the old Kane. Personally I would not like to see another match between HHH and Undertaker, match was way overhyped and I knew undertaker would win in the end. Kane is as real as it get's for facing him, even though we have already seen it twice, this could possibly be undertakers last run to the the big one before retiring. Same goes for Kane, who knows how long he will stay around? No one. As much as some people don't wanna see it, it needs to happen, I'd rather see that than HHH VS Undertaker again. The match was painfully slow and stiff.
 
Niether. The fact you mention these two match to be a potential really indicates there arent really any dream match given with the current roster. Besides cena vs taker.

Is there a purpose to set a hhh vs taker for the third time? Am i going to buy hhh as a real threat to taker's streak? No because it makes no sense for a veteran like hhh to break the streak.

Taker vs kane. How many times have we seen these two compete against each other? Ok so now he has a mask. Big deal. If this was taker's last match, then it is understandable. However, if this is not his last match, i see this match pointless because again what would kane benefit from breaking the streak?

Have taker face a young talent at wresltemania and call it a career. Thats how i see it.
 
out of those 2, i'd say Taker/HHH if they can do something special for the match. they already did No DQ, so i don't know where you go from there in a stipulation type deal. the Rock/Cena is the main event, the WWE title should be the 2nd attraction (if Taker faces HHH, that would bump down the belt to 3rd importance).

i agree with the people who say a new person should feud with Taker, finish off that Nexus/Buried Alive angle that went on (against Kane also anyway). he shouldn't have the streak ended by anyone and i think it's a bad idea to have him retire after WrestleMania.

why not at Survivor Series? let him go out on the PPV he made his debut. the streak should have its own glory and shouldn't be accompanied by a retirement imo
 
Ok here is what I want to see at Wrestlemania I would love to see Undertaker return and win the title from Mark Henry at either Royal Rumble or even Elimination Chamber and he would be the World Heavyweight Champion going into Wrestlemania 28 I would want for Undertaker's opponent to be Sheamus I feel these two big men could tear down the house in an epic match. I would have the outcome turn out like the ending to last years Wrestlemania bout with Triple H where Undertaker was taken to limit and almost lost.

I would have the Undertaker beat Sheamus but then right after the match fininshes Daniel Bryan cashes in the money in the bank contract and he will be the one to end the streak and walk out of Wrestlemania as the World Heavyweight Champion possible even change from face to blown out heel and also send the Undertaker out as he did get to 20 straight wins but has the 1 defeat and Undertaker retires at Wrestlemania after the match.
 
HHH VS Taker III, easily.

The Undertaker and HHH delivered an outstanding and forgotten classic at Wrestlemania 17, and their No Holds Barred match at Mania this year was very enjoyable. We all know Taker can bring it during Mania season, and HHH can still go in the ring. Taker and HHH could probably tear the house down at Mania again, and I would love to see a third encounter at the big show.

But when it comes to Kane VS Taker, I have ZERO interest in seeing another match between these two. Their match at Mania 14 was average at best, and the match at Mania 20 had to feature one of the most predictable outcomes ever. Everyone knew Taker would win, because losing his big return match didn't seem realistic at all. This match was nothing more than a glorified squash, and this was another disappointment in the Taker/Kane saga.

Yeah, I get it. Taker and Kane are kayfabe brothers, and they are two of the most dominant forces in WWE history. The cryptic 1/2/12 video should put up the red flag for another Taker return, because this video has all the warning signs of another Taker comeback. Mania season is drawing closer, Kane is back, and we should see The Deadman soon enough. This stuff with Cena shouldn't last too long, and the possibility of another Taker/Kane match at Wrestlemania could be realistic. Kane is wearing the mask again, and The Big Red Machine could be in the middle of one last nostalgia run, and if Kane has to go down once and for all, Taker needs to be the man to do it, and when you stop and think about it, Wrestlemania would be the perfect stage, because another Kane VS Taker feud will be a big deal.

Still, HHH VS Taker III just sounds more enticing. HHH is another wrestler who came soooo close to ending the streak this year (Shawn Michaels at Mania 25 would be the other), so HHH could still work as a believable threat/opponent. But the same thing can't be said about Kane. If Kane goes up against Taker at Mania 28, 20-0 would just feel like an overwhelming foregone conclusion. Kane having a shot at ending the streak wouldn't seem realistic at all. If Taker has to put Kane away for good one day, let it happen somewhere else. Let this final showdown between the evil brothers happen at another pay per view, because Taker's streak has received this God-like status over the years, and when it comes to the quality of Taker's streak matches, the bar has been set very high. Kane VS Undertaker at Wrestlemania would just feel disappointing in the end, because WWE could deliver something a lot better with HHH VS Taker III.
