The best thing for the E to do is not break The Undertakers streak, If they some how decide to break the Undertakers streak that will be the dumbest idea ever.

As for Undertakers final match goes, I think that he's still has about 2 more years to go. But if Undertaker decides to retired next year on Wrestlemania 27, I will have to go with The Undertaker Vs HHH on this one. Basically Triple H will some how try to take his revenge on the Undertaker for retiring HHH's best friend HBK. I wouldn't say that HHH would win this match, Because like I say that will be the dumbest Idea of the kills the Undertakers streak.

If The Undertaker doesn't retire next year, Then Like I said I think he might make it 1 more extra year, And on Wrestlemania 28 I could see a match between John Morrison and The Undertaker. This match right here will be one of my dream matches. Probably at that time JoMo could be a top maineventer. But I guess that time will just tell.
 
Im guessing it will be at wrestlemania, but i just cant think of who his "last" opponent should be, some are saying Cena, i say No because it's what we would expect of WWE to put someone like that out there. some are saying the midcarders, again i say no, do you really see John Morrison Vs. Undertaker Headlining Wrestlemania? Who do you think would win THAT match? i dont think John Morrison is worthy of that, think about it, if Shawn Micheals cant beat Undertaker, what makes you think John Morrison could? One person caught my attention a while ago in threads saying Sting. Sounds Fantastic, one problem though Not gonna happen, He wont EVER come to WWE. but im thinking goldberg, think about that storyline, two big guys capable of anything, it could put on a GREAT match, who would you use in undertakers last match? any wrestler, dosent matter what brand.
 
i disagree Undertaker last match should be at a Survivor Series where it all began for him and he should keep his Wrestlemania streak its part of his legacy and hes gone to far to lose
 
The idea above me isn't a bad one..

The streak will not be beaten, It's pretty evident that its going to last with 25 being the closest it will probably ever get.

I think the person he loses to should defiantly be a "pass the torch" match. Hopefully it's not Cena because in my mind he doesn't fit well with the torch gimmick... Maybe Randy Orton if he becomes the Man within the next couple years.
 
i think the best thing is to have a crafty intelligent heel like jericho end his career. my plan was for jericho to eliminate taker from the rumble and then beat taker in a match at the feb ppv, making taker want to face jericho at wm. that way jericho has the leverage to say that he will only face taker if a taker win results in a taker retirement. that way taker will be stuck with either living on without the streak or ending it all with the streak intact.
 
Taker for next year's 19-0 should be against Triple H. I dunno, pay back for retiring Shawn or some shit like that. Taker wins.

Taker's 20-0 will be his last match. It will be against John Ceeeeeeeena.

Think about it. When judging Taker's previous matches, was there really anyone who would legitimately beat the streak? Giant Gonzales? Lulz.

John Cena will have the most people backing him to win in the 20 years prior. Cena isn't too old to benefit from the push of winning against the Undertaker at Mania. Cena isn't too young to realistically garner the reward, either. Cena is the perfect fit. People will be chattering for ages.

(The following is stolen directly from Mighty Norcal. <3)

Taker wins his 20th match. He is 20-0. He does the Taker pose and maybe nods to the fans. He leaves the ring. End Mania.

..That's it. That's all the Undertaker needs. A long, drawn out retirement is not in his character. A full blown retirement ceremony won't make any sense. The Undertaker leaves the ring 20-0 and never enters another ring. It's perfect.
 
Well I hope and others may also think that Undertaker should go for atleast 20-0 at mania before he retires. Undertaker's streak will never die but if his last match is at wrestlemania, that might be a little problem there because most stars loose their last match, so maybe it would be best to go with triniphenom's idea and end taker's career where it started. And it should probably be against a rising star like John Morrison or like if it were to end against someone like Morrison, that person would continue on and have an amazing career like Cena or Triple H, just a thought.
 
1. I don't see anyone beating 'Taker at Wrestlemania. I believe he will retire when he gets his 20th win.

2. I don't see anyone in the poll seriously beating 'Taker at Mania. Everyone expects Cena to face him but the odds of Cena who has already established himself as a major draw ending another established superstar's streak who made if in 'Mania is unlikely. I said the same thing when HBK faced The Deadman.


3. Guys like Goldberg and Sting have no chance in ending The Phenom's career. Keep in mind they would have to face him by next year in order to keep the whole "WCW Hall Of Fame" theme alive. Sting is the most unlikely to even set foot in a WWE ring, but I will not go into that sense I already mentioned that in another thread. Goldberg...well I would pick him for facing Taker by next year. I will even select him in the poll. But he will not win. Again already mentioned a guy who has already established himself to beat the guy who established it on The Grandest Stage Of Them All is just...not good business.

4. If they were to have someone go over Undertaker at Wrestlemania, like I have said the man can't be that established. The guy to do so will be making a name for himself, so why give the win to someone who already has? It's bad politics. You have to keep in mind what is the best for the company. Taker is the Holy Grail of Wrestlemania; anyone who defeats him will recieve both:

A. Major heat from the fans, resulting in said guy being a major Heel.
B. Recognition of legendary status, so WWE better make damn sure whoever defeats him will stay with WWE for a long time to keep the spark of history alive.
 
I want to see Taker hit 20-0 at WM so I hope he sticks around a couple of years more. I think that Taker will go for another couple of years and retire. He loves the business too much to quit prematurely. If he can get his time off and heal up, he'll keep going. It's quite possible that whoever his last match is against is not even on the roster currently.

There was an earlier thread with a storyline about Vince wanting to end the streak. He would start something where if Taker wins his WM match, he must retire. I would like to actually see something like that where Taker hits 20-0 and retires. I know you are supposed to go out on your back, but why not let Taker ride off into the sunset a winner?

I think that they should push a mid-carder against him for his last match to really put over that person. It's also a given that Taker will get to chose who he goes out against. SO... it's really up to the other guys in the locker room as to who will retire Taker.
 
I do not see Vince letting Taker lose at Wrestlemania. This will be The Undertaker's legacy. The only person I see beating Taker at Wrestlemania IF Vince allows it is.............THE SHOCKMASTER!!! Ok, on a serious note. The only person I believe Vince would allow to beat Taker would be Randy Orton. In my opinion, he is becoming the STONE COLD Steve Austin of this era. As long as he keeps this persona he has now and doesn't become to "kid-friendly", I see a rematch at a 'Mania and possibly beating Taker. However, like some people have said, The Undertaker will most likely leave Wrestlemania with a perfect record and ride off on one of his motorcycles into the sunset, tying in The Deadman and American Bad Ass personas. Just my opinion.
 
Firstly I do not see WWE ending The Deadman's WM Streak.

If and only if WWE decide to end his streak, I have a feeling it would be HBK. The year WWE decide to induct HBK into the Hall of Fame (which I dont think is far away), HBK comes out of retirement for one last match, only to beat the Ubdertaker.

It would be awesome but a little too familiar. What do you think?
 
I think Undertaker will face Goldberg to reach 19 - 0 and Cena to reach 20 - 0.

Goldberg wants to come back for one more match. Next year's Hall of Fame will have a WCW theme. I could see it now; Undertaker is facing Swagger for the title when Goldberg comes out and spears him. Goldberg will then say that Undertaker is "next".

Goldberg would decimate everyone in his path and dominate the Undertaker leading to up to their match-up. The match would be intense and high impact, but in the end Undertaker would win it.

Cena is this era's Austin or Hogan. Undertaker has faced, feuded and beaten all the top stars in their respective generations for the last twenty years. (He has feuded with Cena before and beaten Cena before but that was before Cena was a main eventer and doing his near "Hulk Hogan" type deal.)

Cena would come close but Undertaker would ultimately win. Undertaker though would say that it's finally time for "the Undertaker to rest in piece". The lights would go out, then come back on, and the Undertaker would be gone, with perhaps his coat, hat, the urn, and a few other items on or around a chair representing his departure.
 
God, please do not let John Cena end Takers streak, or even face him for that matter. God, that would be horrible. Goldberg I think is the obvious pick for this yr, and I for one would love to see that. Sting will NEVER step foot in a WWE ring, or so it seems, but he would be the best choice. Randy Orton is the best overall choice for the 20th yr, although who knows will emerge by then as a viable contender. How about Stone Cold coming back for one more big WM match. Thats a match he might get up for one more time.
 
some possible great final matches:

versus Mick Foley, if they could both still do a good match by then. great history together and plenty of great matches together to live up to.

versus Kurt Angle, hoping that he'd come back to WWE. they've had some great matches in the past also, including Taker's 10 year anniversary at Survivor Series. and who could forget that match at No Way Out. it was a classic that could have easily headlined Mania and Angle is a legit threat to the streak.

Sting or Goldberg would be okay from the WCW era.

what about Christian or Ted Dibiase Jr? couple of younger guys that can clearly wrestle and have good matches. Christian has a history with Taker from the Ministry days, plus the story Taker had with Edge could be factored in. Dibiase could bring in his dad to be in his corner as the guy that brought Taker in and that guy that'll take him out.

Just a few thoughts...
 
I am really sorry but i don't really like the choices. I personally would love and i mean love to see Orton v. 'Taker in a bury alive match at Survivor Series. It just seems fitting to me. This match would happen some time from now and im sure then Orton will be even bigger then he is now and I just think he can give the DEAD man a run for his money in terms of mind games and it would just be a great way to end what i think would be a great fued if it were to happen. "title v. Career" match Orton buries the Undertaker that the end of him him just a fitting way considering the character he protrays and how he entered the WWF/E. No one hears from him again then when they are calling out there HOF'ers prior to Mania his name gets called i personally think it would be a fitting ending to an amazing career.
 
First I want to say that while it sucks to admit this, the guys that say a huge sendoff is not in 'Takers character are absolutly correct. What sucks about it is that you cannot properly send off a man who once signing on to the WWF\E, never once jumped ship and has always been a constant locker-room leader. That said, I'm almost suprised that, unless I missed it, nobody has come up with anything similar.

Leading into Undertakers 20-0 streak, possibly as early as the previous Survivor Series (as to make for a nice long program) Kane puts together a "New Ministry" of sorts to rid the WWE of the Undertaker. They fued for a couple of months, leading into a Wrestlemania Main Event of Kane vs Undertaker. Undertaker wins the match, thus keeping the streak alive, but afterwards, Kane and his band jump 'Taker, ending with Kane giving him a tombstone piledriver, rolling him into a bodybag, putting it in a casket and lighting it on fire. After a few seconds of the casket being on fire, the gong hits, Taker shows up on the big screen and announces that Kane can beat him up, set him on fire, but at 20-0, the Undertaker can finally, Rest...in...peace. Rolls his eyes into his head, and screen blacks out. BAM! Taker keeps his streak, but gets put out respectfully at Wrestlemania. What do you guys think?
 
My view is Takers last opponent should be his brother Kane.

Just think about it they could do a massive build up on making Kane back into the monster heel he should be and he could confront Taker saying he is better than him an he deserves the success Taker has had and if it wasn't for what Taker did to him as a child (bring in the old house burning down story to refresh memories) he would be even better than Taker.....

This could in a way be a passing of the torch and finally give Kane his big title push he deserves....

Anyone like the idea???
 
UNDERTAKER VS. KANE AT SURVIOR SERIES IN A BURIED ALIVE MATCH OR CASKET MATCH WITH KANE WINNING where KANE wants revenge 4 UT bein a HUGE star and he wasnt or somethin like that or TED DIBASE VS. UNDERTAKER IN A BURIED ALIVE MATCH OR CASKET MATCH with ted winning where TED wants 2 end his career bc his father brought him in or somethin like tht or maybe CHRISTIAN bc well im just a HUGE FAN OF HIS and plus they have a little history from the MINSTRY OF DARKNESS but when UNDERTAKER retires he will be misseD WWE will feel different with no HBK OR TAKER
 
People there is no Survivor Series anymore. Why do people keep bringing this up? Vince announced late last year there was no more Survivor Series, and it has run its course. It seems like people keep ignoring this fact, but it is true not false. Unless enough fans complain about it being gone, then you will not see the event again. There is a possibility of War Games or something WCW old theme taking over for November.
 
I think the Undertaker's last opponent should be....

A Gauntlet Match of every guy he ever beat at Wrestlemania

or

Cena, and have UT go out with the win. The streak should never be broken.
 
I think it has to be a lost. Sure, Taker is a great company guy and all, but are you going to have him retire whie leaving the streak intact? I don't think so. Considering the huge impact it would have on whoever wins it and what a great moment that'd be, I don't see how you can't have it happen.

As for who it should be, I don't think Cena unless they wanted to pull off an epic heel turn, which would be awesome. I think my top two choices would have to be Punk and Swagger. Punk is already freaking awesome, but needs that one last push to put him at the top. He'd become the most hated wrestler of all time after ending the streak. I'll also say Swagger because he's a really young guy with a buttload of potential. He has the chance to be a longtime main eventer and a win over Taker would really help in making that happen.
 
I personally don't think the streak should ever end, it is his Undertaker's legacy, one of the main things that he will be remembered for.

But where he will retire is complicated, because on the one hand there is Survivor Series where he debuted, or Wrestlemania seeing as his most famous legacy is there. However we all know Survivor Series is being discontinued so it's not a possibility.

For someone the status of the Undertaker, his last match should be at Wrestlemania. But his streak makes that a problem because surely it would be unfair for him to win his retirement match while others in the past have always lost theirs. It wouldn't seem right for him to not do the same. But there's the streak, how can he lose his retirement match and keep his streak? The obvious answer would be for him to retire somewhere else, but I feel he deserves to have his last match on the grandest stage of them all.

For a character like Undertaker, it is so hard to think of how to end his career at all. So how could it possibly be done? What angle/storyline should there be? Very hard choice for someone with such a unique gimmick
 
Out of those choices I would say cena but I think it should be his brother kane at WMr faling that HBKcould come backfoone last match against him it could be like "you retired me so i want to get a chance to retire you" kind of thing unlikley iknow but id love to see it
 
Firstly i think the match everyone would want to see is Sting vs Taker, but we all know that's very unlikely. but i liked the idea from a while back of an unknown guy coming in and taking out taker. There was a guy set to do that a while back i remember, even got as far as a video on smackdown, but it all fell through. I mean sure it'd be a massive gamble to put some unknown person that high up nowadays when people's fitness levels arent what they used to be and they're just as likely to jump ship for a lesser schedule but still as a fan that's how i'd want it to play out as really when you think about it the streak has to end or there's nothing for the young guys to aim for, a completely undefeated streak i only attainable by completely new guys who never lose, a 20-0 streak lets say is attainable by anyone with that kinda of longevity, so i hope (though i'll hate when it happens) that the streak ends with a new guy completely squashing everyone in his path. Or how about something completely left field like Awesome Kong beating him? would make for some interesting telly if nothing else
 
I think Triple H should be Taker's last match, but as I said before, it should take place at a PPV other then Wrestlemania, and it should be built up into a feud of sorts, possibly one where Triple H is angry for Taker retiring his best friend at Wrestlemania:suckit:
