personally i believe the match between sting and undertaker would be great but i just can't see it happening,it was mentioned on here that sting vowed that he will never wrestle for vince but they respect each other but i do see sting being inducted into the hall of fame for wrestlemania 27,his contract runs out in december with tna so its a real good chance we could see it and i wouldn't be surprised if they have a cameo of sting with the underatker
 
1. Undertakers streak will never end. My feeling is WWE will do everything they can to get him to 20-0 and then he'll be done.

2. As long as Vince McMahon is in charge of WWE Sting will never be a part of it.

3. Why do we act like the WWE Hall of Fame is special? Vince can pick and choose whoever he wants. So if Vince wants Sting in the WWE hall of fame, he doesnt have to join WWE, its all a matter of if Vince likes him or not. I mean isnt Pete Rose a member of the WWE HOF? Come on.

4. Undertaker vs. Sting would be nice but unless Vince dies, or Taker jumps to TNA it will never, ever happen...And Undertaker will never lose at Wrestlemania.
 
While I would really love to see this match, it is never going to happen.

Even if Sting came to the WWE, which he would never do, why would the WWE use him to end the streak. That would be the biggest waste of what could potentially be the biggest rub for some new big star in the WWE to become completely over.

However, i am of the opinion that the Undertakers streak will not end and he will go 20-0 and retire.
 
Kinda depends on how the Undertaker wants to go out. Does the character of the Undertaker mean more to him...or the Wrestlemania streak? If it's the streak then he should retire undefeated and ride off into the sunset after another year or two going 19-0 or 20-0.

If he really cares about his character....the Undertaker needs to lose his final match and bury his career. He needs to go out in a powerful way...something similar to what happened at the Royal Rumble 94.

My answer: Kane

But only if the WWE can find a way to make his character relevant again. Maybe tweak his character and make him more of a presence. Kane vs the Undertaker in a casket match at Wrestlemania is the only way I see Undertaker losing...and if he does lose, it should be his farewell to a great career.
 
First of all Taker as already stated in a interview that there is only one man who he would let end the streak, and that man is his "brother" Kane. In another interview Kane was told about this and said that he dose not think he would ever be able to end the streak out of respect to taker, so the streak will never end unless Kane changes his mind.Anyone who thinks Vince could make taker lose is dumb, undertaker is untouchable and if he really meant what he said about Kane then there is no chance Vince would get his way without pissing taker off and causing problems.

As for just having Sting vs Taker at mania the only way i could see it happening is if there where some kind of build up to it cause there's no way sting would come in for one match just to lose.

Also just like most people already said Sting dose not wanna work for Vince.
 
the streak is the ultimate appreciation to the dead man and all he has done for wrestling. the streak means alot to me due to ive been watching taker my whole life and he is my favorite superstar ever(orton is not far behind). He has given years of his life to wrestling and is indeed on of the best performers ever! for a man almost 7 foot tall the thing he does is amazing! how can u walk across the top rope and jump off it with all ur weight! nothing of amazing! BUT i have been watching hbk my whole life too and i eqaully respect him as much as i do taker!!!
the streak may mean something to ya it may not but the level of competitors that taker has faced has made the streak nothing short of awesome!!! it just shows how many superstars respect and look up to the undertaker! guys like flair,hhh,orton,hbk, have all fallen to the streak and hopefully no one will ever break it. I mean if u want a up and coming superstar to make an impact there are plenty of ways to do that instead of breaking the streak of one the most important wrestlers ever! its just al about respect taker has cemented himself as one of the best and i would consider it an honor to just be face to face with him in the ring on wrestlemania nite just my thoughts hbk taker 2 was amazing!!!! so much emotion!

rko for life:worship:
 
The streak is one awesome thing WWE has labeled the Undertaker with. However, it does not mean much to me. He has fought great opponents, but he has fought many bad and horrible Mania matches. You may say it is not on Taker, but he has not always been that good unless paired with the right person. I do not care if it came to an end because I will still love Taker. Taker I respect for holding on to such a gimmick for so long, and only tweaking it here and there. I have read an interview he values how is gimmick is handled more than anything. He claims titles are won here and there, and you can have a streak due to creative booking. However, a gimmick to survive this long is what makes the Undertaker not the Streak. I think some people fail to realize this, and put too much emphasis on the Streak. When he retires and is gone forever, he will be remember as the Undertaker not his Wrestlmania winning streak.I do not want to sound like an ass, but more logical wrestling fans see the Undertaker as a Phenom who withstood time and change and to keep his name and gimmick fresh for 20 years. The other fans will just think of him with the streak, and failed to remember creative team has to do with the streak; however, his gimmick surviving over the years is more on him.
 
as of the time being them saying the mr. mcmahon character is pretty much over..so my choice would have to be nobody.. why not just make the undertaker retire undefeated at wrestlemania? that way they could leave it up to someone else to try to break that undefeated streak. i dunno just my opinion...
 
There's only one problem with this theory of Vince ending the streak and that's the fact that the evil "Mr. McMahon" character is dead. That was the entire point of his match with Bret at Mania this year. Vince's heel persona was created in light of the screwjob, and it died at Mania this year. Plus, if HBK couldn't break the streak two years in a row, it's never going to happen. It's been said in the past and I still believe it to be true; The Streak is something Vince will never take away from Taker because of everything Taker has done for WWE. If Taker's career ends with a loss, I guarantee it will not be at Mania.
 
Ok here it goes the Undertaker mark on me, None will end the Streak because it is The Undertaker.

He said himself, "Seventeen men has stepped up, and seventeen men have been set down".

He is one of the most powerful characters of the WWE and none, not even John Cena will be able to beat him at the "Showcase of the inmortals" because that is what The Undertaker character is, Inmortal.

Undertaker mark out. :cool:
 
Definitely don't see that happening. I don't think the streak will ever end, let alone being ended by VM. I just don't think it would be believable to see a 64 year old plus man winning at the Deadman's Playground.
 
Disagree 100%

If he's going to lose it's going to be to a HUGE young talent. By Huge i mean he's got to have the look, the over within weeks of his debut, ect.

A Brock Lesnar like debut angle...

I doubt we will see anyone debut like that before Taker retires so I'm going to say he retires 20-0
 
I know its too early to speculate who would be a good opponent for Taker at Wrestlemania 27, but Ive had this in my mind for a while. I can come up with 4 names:

1) Undertaker vs Cena - Yes they've battled before but not on the biggest stage. Definitely money to be made here. The only thing is if by that time Cena is still the face he is today, people would take Takers side and Cena would look somewhat heelish, and I dont know if buy that time the E would be ready to go with that path with Cena's character.

2) Undertaker vs Jericho - also hasnt been done at Mania. I remember last summer there were talks about a possible Jericho/Taker for Mania, but I guess Michaels decided to hang up the boots for good so they put Taker and Michaels back at it again.

3) Undertaker vs CM Punk - definitely would be a very good match to watch as well and hasnt been done at Mania

4) Undertaker vs Goldberg - and this is of course if he chooses to come back for one more. And looks like he will since theres rumors that next years HOF will be WCW-themed. By the way, have these 2 ever competed in the ring?

These are the only 4 I could come up with, seems like every other big star has already been against Taker at Mania.
 
Triple H.

I could care less if it's already happened, the storyline of him facing Taker in honor of his best friend writes itself. Cena vs. Taker obviously needs to happen eventually, but I think they're going to save it for 28 so that Taker goes out with the biggest match possible. We already know that Trips and Taker can put on a clinic, and really, what else is Trips gonna do next Mania? He's faced everyone there is to face, and even this year he had a match with a rising star rather than a fully established main eventer because of that fact. If not Trips then I guess I would go with Jericho, but I'm kind of meh on that because I don't think anyone's really gonna buy him having a shot in hell of ending the streak. So Trips to me is the best option here.
 
If Taker didnt lose his undefeated streak these past 2 years with Michaels, he wont lose it with anyone else. 18-0, something that has never been accomplished before in wrestlings "big main event" and most likely will never be done again. Either that or we'll have to wait 18 long years to see it happen again.

Im not a Cena fan, but Id rather see him tangle with Taker than with Triple H simply because Cena's name is not on that list. It almost HAS to be this way. 10 years from now, people will look at the list of men that Taker defeated at Mania and they'll say "what, no Cena?" Adding Cena to the list will make the list even more impressive.
 
as much as i hate to say it ive gotta say John Cena...it has to be done.. fantasy wise(knowin it wont happen) id love to the Undertaker vS Sting!...but Cena is more realistic of course....either name would look great on that resume though
 
The question really is...
Who's left to face him?

It could be Jericho..they have yet to face each other at Mania.
IT could also be one of three up-and-comers
Miz,Sheamus,Drew Mcintyre,give one of the young fellas a HUGE PUSH
I still say Cena,have him go to shake after match...then go nuts on him,
they have ended Manias on a swerve before...
WM16 AND 17!!
 
The Rock?

There's been rumors. It would be THE biggest money maker, ever. Granted, The Rock would have to cut promos, and maybe wrestle a few matches before hand, and he said he wants one last coup de grâce. But, with that one coup de grâce, I only see him wrestling once. He's still in amazing shape, but, I wonder if he's still going to be "electifying" in the ring.
Although, Orton would be a great opponent too. He's going to be the best tweener/heel at the time (maybe behind Jericho) I know it's happened before, but, what better way to cap off a "Legend Killer" then have Randy end the Taker's streak.



Does anyone think that Taker's WM27 match will be associated with a title?
 
Goldberg.

I can't find any document stating these two have even been in the same ring together. Both have storybook careers and Goldberg is the only superstar I can think of that could pose any real threat to The Undertaker's streak, because the simple fact Taker has never faced Goldberg.

And with the HoF most likely being WCW-Themed cuz of Atlanta, Georgia, it could happen.
 
My choice would be Ted DiBiase. It can really work out IMO. The perfect way to set it up is obvious. Have Ted go at it with Randy for a good while. Build it for a couple of months. Have Ted lose at the Rumble in a gimmick match or a regular ( if there is good enough build to just have a regular one). Pissed that he lost, he says he will do something Orton has never done in his career, beat Taker at mania. Obviously Taker wins. In turn it would help step DiBiase up to the next level and add to Taker's list. It would be pretty good in my eyes IF, and only IF Ted is built up right.

I don't want to see DiBiase and Orton to feud now. It's been too long since the break up of Legacy, so, it's something I don't care about. Plus, this "Virgil" thing that Dibiase is going though looks like it's going to take awhile. Plus, he's still just too bland, and, considering it's more then likely going to be his last WM, it needs to be HUGE.

This post makes no sense. Why build Ted up right just to have him buried by Undertaker? That's a waste of a push. Plus, Undertaker is WAY out of Ted's league and there is no way he can get up to Undertaker's level by the time it's time for him to retire.


Easy answer to this thread is Cena. Period.
 
It needs to be a big-name guy. The Undertaker has put over enough young guys in his career, he doesn't need to do so anymore, especially at Wrestlemania. When I see this question, only a few names come to mind.

John Cena: As much as I dislike Cena, he's the biggest name in pro wrestling. The Undertaker is at the point in his career where he should be wrestling guys with names as big as his. Taker can put on a good match with just about anyone, including Cena. This would be a HUGE face vs. face feud, and the title wouldn't need to be on the line. The only problem is, I'm not sure the WWE wants Cena to lose at Mania, especially in a one-on-one match. And I really, really don't want to see Taker lose at Mania.

HHH: Yes, it's been done before. I don't care. You can recycle feuds by creating interesting storylines. This would be another huge face vs. face match. These are probably the two most respected guys in the locker room, and with good reason. Either guy can, and has, put on a quality match with anyone you can think of. They make other people look good, including each other. I think this is the best "wrestling" match he could have. But I would like to see HHH be The Undertaker's last Wrestlemania opponent, and 27 might not be Taker's last.

Chris Jericho: This match has never taken place at Wrestlemania, and I think these two could have a dynamite heel vs. face type feud. Jericho becomes obsessed with beating certain people, and who better to target than the Undertaker. I have said before, and will say again, NO ONE should beat Taker at Mania. Taker would go over clean, but Jericho doesn't need a "rub" from anyone at this point in time.

Last year, I wanted to see an Orton vs. Taker Mania main event. But with Orton turning tweener/face, I no longer want to see it. Heel Orton vs. Face Taker would have had an AMAZING build, but with where they both are currently, I just don't think it would be as entertaining.
 
The rock stone cold goldberg cm punk swagger sheamus cena jericho. None have them have faced taker at mania before obviously you can basically rule out the rock and stone cold and goldberg is highly unlikely. Id love to see any of them I think the younger guys like cm punk sheamus and swagger could benefit from a feud as big as trying to end the streak. But I the one Id like to see the most would be jericho/taker. The matches theyve put on already have been excellent and if they had a match at mania it would no doubt be an instant classic. We all know how great the promos jericho would cut would also be incredible. Im realy hoping this match happens
 
Sorry guys but you'll never see Cena take on the Streak for one reason: Cena never loses in a one on one match unless he's ''cheated''. Well now that I've written that, I had a semi-good idea. Have Taker Vs Cena at WM and make it so Taker is ABOUT to lose and he cheats some how (lights go out and Cena is a bloody, broken mess in the middle of the ring or after the lights come back on all you see is a coffin being carried out by druids and Cena gets counted out from being in the coffin). It would ruin the credibility of the streak, but that's about the only way Cena vs Taker is gonna go. UNLESS he has a triple threat, another first. Then he could pin who ever else is in the match. I'd love to see Goldberg again, and I'd pay the 60 bucks just for that match. It's WAY too early to tell right now, WM just passed so there's about 10 months of build up and superstar changing to be made
