*MERGED* [OFFICIAL] Undertaker's Wrestlemania Streak Discussion

[The Ace of Knaves]

If WWE can book Hogan vs Warrior, Rock vs Austin and Bret vs Shawn there sure as hell will do this match up one day.

WWE could also book Undertaker vs Hulk Hogan for WM IX but they booked Undertaker vs Giant Gonzales.

WWE could also book Undertaker vs Bret Hart for WM XI but they booked Undertaker vs King Kong Bundy.

WWE could also book Undertaker vs Stone Cold/The Rock/Mankind for WM XV but they booked Undertaker vs Big Boss Man.

WWE could also book Undertaker vs Brock Lesnar/Eddie Guerrero/Rey Mysterio for WM XIX but they booked Undertaker vs Big Show & A-Train.

WWE could also book Undertaker vs Kurt Angle/Chris Benoit for WM XXII but they booked Undertaker vs Mark Henry.

See? They could book Undertaker vs icons but they preferred Undertaker vs lame giants.

WWE doesn't have the balls to book Undertaker vs Cena at WM XXVII.

If they do, I'll apologize with capital for each word.

given taker might only have 2 or so years left on the active roster, who do you think he should face next @ wrestlemania, and why?

i think that jericho would be a great heel to go against taker. saying he is the best in the world etc... he might have a huge problem with beating taker at wm. or having sheamus man up & continue to steamroll thru the wwe until he lands in front of the deadman.

 

[stillboy21]

I think for the next WM, Undertaker should either face CM Punk or Chris Jericho. I think this would greatly help Punk having a 1-1 match with Undertaker wether he loses or wins. If you go to Wrestlemania for a tag match or MitB then thats about the lowest match you could have. I know MitB can potientally help young stars but not as well as a singles match can. Especially if the singles match is against Undertaker.
Or if you were to go with Jericho, then this match could possibly be the best one of the night. Both Jericho and Undertaker have such unique styles and have only faced each other a hand full of times. If both Jericho and Taker but everything they had into this match it could maybe even be match of the year imo.
But I see Undertaker beating both of these two and going 19-0 and at WM 28 have him go 1 on 1 against Cena for the record of 20-0 or not...

 

[FitFinlay4Life]

Given that it's now WWe PG and there is no mutual animosity, I believe the time has come for the Man Called Sting. When his current TNA contract expires - a Hall of Fame induction, DVD deal and light schedule identical to the dead man (were Undi appears Sting appears). I think Sting'd jump at this and so would the fans. None of the current roster would interest me, Sheamus and Drew are too bland and unless Cena does a heel turn - I'd not get excited about a Taker heel turn or face/ face battle. A battle of Icons however...

 

[jmancometh777]

I think it should be jericho, as far as i know y2j and taker have never faced each other at Wrestlemania, and that would be an awesome match in my opinion.

 

[Big Nick Dudley]

Facing The Undertaker at Wrestlemania is a huge deal, win or lose. Just being in there with the guy gives you an instand credibility boost. The reason I say this is because if you are wrestling the guy, there is a chance you might end the streak. Now, we all know there really isn't a chance, but it's at least going to be talked about.

I would say it's pretty simple; whoever Taker wants to face, and whoever is willing to lose. If that's Chris Jericho (who we all know is willing to lose), and John Cena, that's great. If it needs to be a veteran and a younger guy, sounds good to me. Taker usually puts on a damn good show at Mania (Taker, not BikerTaker), so I'm not really concerned who he faces, talent wise.

But I do think, if he only has two left, they will be big name guys. I think the WWE is eventually going to want to cash in on a possible Taker/Cena match. Cena has lost at Mania before, so I doubt he would have a problem dropping one to Taker. It's not like it's going to hurt his credibility, losing on Mania match to Taker. I mean, come on, Shawn Michaels lost two years in a row to Taker, and RETIRED! On a high note, with one of the best send offs I have ever seen.

I wanted to see a Randy Orton/Undertaker rematch, but that was before Randy found success as a fan favorite. I think Jericho would be a great opponent, and the feud would be interesting. But it's not really exciting. I'm not sure who could have an exciting feud with Taker at Mania, outside of Cena.

 

[Validus]

I think it should be John Cena , but I would hate it if Cena won . That would ruin it . I don't think Undertaker and Cena can pull off a match better than HBK and 'Taker .

IMO , The Undertaker should never lose the streak . That's what 'Taker is remembered by .

BUT , yes , John Cena should be the next VICTIM .

 

[Ferbian]

I'm not really sure who is going to be his next victim, because there's a lot of possibilities, a guy like Chris Jericho, CM Punk or John Cena, all some that haven't faced Undertaker at Wrestlemania.

But then there's also guys who has faced him before but would serve to be a great opponent for him again, just because we just want to see them bash each other in their current state of their careers (Randy Orton, Triple H etc.)

But who I would like to see face Undertaker would have to be either Chris Jericho, because of the epicness it would present with Chris Jericho's promos going into Wrestlemania, and the good match they had some months ago that could be much better if placed on the right stage, and Wrestlemania is the right stage.

On the other hand, I would like to see Triple H go at it again, mostly due to the fact that Undertaker recently retired Shawn Michaels, building a storyline around that would be absolutely epic, something that this forum has discussed before, and I concur to that idea.

I agree with the idea of triple H. However, would HHH be heel or face? IF he turned heel would that be a good match? OR if it was a face vs. face match than what?

 

[Ferbian]

I agree with the idea of triple H. However, would HHH be heel or face? IF he turned heel would that be a good match? OR if it was a face vs. face match than what?

Seeing as Undertaker no matter what he does, always comes off as somewhat of a face, it's been discussed before that Undertaker could do pretty much anything, face any opponent, and would still get cheered.

Therefore I would assume it automatically makes Triple H the heel, just like Shawn Michaels was considered the heel of the two the past 2 years.

Besides, yes I would say Triple H vs Undertaker would be great no matter the alignment, so yes the match would be great even if Triple H is a heel, he is still able to put on pretty decent matches, and he's at a more established point of his career right now, which would only make the match a lot tougher, and I could imagine the storyline going into it would be absolutely epic if they build on the momentum that Undertaker retired Shawn.

 

[Kaelthes]

If he was the heel, what would be the most reasonable way to make him a heel though?? Would he attack taker? Or would he talk smack? Something like that. Physical pain to taker, or verbal trash?

WWE has succeeded in making Triple H a heel numerous times, they've succeeded in making pretty much anybody a heel in some manner, putting an opponent against Undertaker makes it a lot easier, no matter what he does.

I mean just look at Shawn Michaels, especially going into Wrestlemania 26, he got obsessed with Undertaker, if Triple H becomes obsessed with revenging Shawn, you got a potential heel turn right there, but there's really so many ways they could turn anybody a heel against Undertaker, because of the fact that Undertaker is so loved no matter what.

Personally if it's a Wrestlemania match we're expecting to see, and it being build only up to being a match at Wrestlemania (like Shawn vs Undertaker, they didn't have any match at any pay per view or show before Wrestlemania) then I would prefer it being verbally all the way, but build him as a heel by letting him face some of the faces of the roster he's a part of, letting them bash each other to bits in matches and encounters all the way up to the match at Wrestlemania would ruin the epic feeling behind it.

 

[Kaelthes]

Ok, I agree. Dude you rest a good case. I think that with the right amount of verbal and physical heel moves, HHH can exceed a normal heel. Dude lots of rep on the way. Also, I often times skip posts to see 3 people's posts.

Its got to be Cena, there arent many left in terms of who could end it because its not like anyone would be believed to be capable of doing it. This is where WWE could exploit the super cena they have created, rather than have him be booed because of it.
I would have voted Sheamus, but he would be better for Mania 28. Sheamus can develop his monster heel thing and maybe even be champ at the time. Career v title could be a good thing to do at that time.

 

[awesomemizfan]

I would have to say John Cena for two reasons. For one, i think that would be a good match between the two of them. Second, I would l.ove to see John Cena get pwned by Taker. But knowing the wwe John will pull it outta his butt and win with only 5 moves basically. Its pretty stupid how cena wins like that..

 

[Adam08]

I think he should face either Chris Jericho or John Cena. Well for personal prefrence this is a wrestlmania dream match for me. It would make sense because John Cena is probably the only in the whole indursty that is belivable enought to end the streak because of his current gmmick.

Chris Jericho while I don't think he would win the match and it wouldn't make much sense it would still be a great match and feud going into it.

 

[Whatisthis.huh]

I think that it should be Sting or Goldberg. Since it is in Atlanta and Atlanta was mega WCW area, i think it should be in Atlanta. Undertaker vs Sting i would prefer because Goldberg has no streak. UT vs Sting would be a good match, no a CLASSIC but a classic in its own rights.

 

[President Evil]

I dont care for the guy, but it should be against Cena. 10 or 20 years from now, the next generation of fans will look at the Undefeated Streak and say "what, no Cena?" Its important to have Cena's name on the list. He's the damn face of the company. Big names like Triple H and HBK are there, so why not Cena.

The E would have a problem with wanting to do this match because Taker has achieved legendary status and people have immense respect for him, so the majority will take his side, and the E may be afraid of people overly booing their golden boy Cena at a Wrestlemania. But if Vince is still the smart business man he once was, he knows a Cena vs Taker is necessary.

 

[The Man Of 1004 Holds]

i think this year it shud be punk. it would give him a huge push and the storyline would be simple as he cud just go around sayin no one has beaten taker because none of his opponants were straight edged and that he will break the streak thanks to being straight edge, the rest of the ses will also provide a sense of danger to the streak as the storyline builds around them attacking him.
i think undertaker cena shud be used when it is takers last mania as people will know he is leaving and we will wonder if its because the streak is over and cena is the only person u cud c the wwe beating taker at mania but i really hope he wont.

 

[Davi323]

I voted other...I don't believe the streak will continue. I think the next Wrestlemania will be the Undertaker's final match, and that he will do the job to elevate someone immediately to the top by giving them the win. I don't know who yet, but I seriously believe that the Undertaker will LOSE at Wrestlemania. So, I guess the next victim of the streak will be the Undertaker...

I don't think it is that important to have Cena's name on the list because he is the face of the company. The Undertaker never faced Austin, Rock, Foley, or Angle at Wrestlemania so not facing Cena won't be as big of a deal. The biggest opponent Undertaker has faced at Wrestlemania was HHH because of where HHH was at the time.

If Drew McIntyre keeps improving and is still aligned with McMahon, I could see him facing Undertaker at Wrestlemania 27. McMahon and Undertaker have a lot of history together and it would be an interesting matchup to see. It would help Drew a lot and would be a great storyline.

 

[ForzaItalia]

Honestly, I do not think John Cena will be involved next year in the streak match. Instead he will be involved in the title match. Sheamus would be a great choice because he is kind of like Undertaker when he first started out because Undertaker was dominant and a threatening guy just like Sheamus. Plus, this match would be a powerhouse vs powerhouse which would be great.

 

[MoRtAnDaD]

Its reduce to 3 guys:

Cena (he will give that feeling of it may happen and the streak will be over)
Triple H (same reason as cena, but having HBK storyline involved somehow)

or

Sheamus, because this guy has everything to be a top star in the near future (at least for me). And they can put sheamus in a undefeated destruction path a couple of month before WM, and then finally clash against taker at mania.

Unfortunately, Vince is no longer the smart businessman he once was. WWE doesn't have the balls to book Cena vs Taker.

Then again, I've been wrong before.

CM Punk
Not being biased Bcuz we're married (lolz)
But he's already transformed into one of WWE's top Heels,
W/ a great gimmick, stable, + crowd reactions
A feud w/ the undertaker would LAUNCH him through the door he's already standing at
So he looses
which is inevitable,
But SES w/ the title would be unstoppable
