On the other hand if Taker tapped, it would make him look like shit. If Hogan, Flair, HBK, Rock, Austin, any other major star could not make Taker tap, then why should Punk?
Taker would look like shit tapping out to the World Heavyweight Champion? Really? No, I think it would put over Punk and the Anaconda Vice huge and start to legitimize Punk as the equal of the big Attitude Era stars. According to the internet, Biker Taker tapped out to Angle in 2002 at the same time the ref was counting 3 for a UT pin. So has Undertaker been shit since 2002?
Even looking at your list, Flair's Figure Four leglock is the only legendary submission move on there, and Flair was over the hill by WM 18. So you could sell Punk's Anaconda Vice as on a level with Flair's Figure Four leglock, Bret Hart's Sharpshooter, the Angle Lock, the Crippler Crossface and the Walls of Jericho, even if Benoit's and Jericho's and Punk's overall arsenal and careers aren't on the level of Flair, Hogan, Austin, Rock, etc.
IF it is so unbelievable for Undertaker to tap out to Punk, then isn't Punk's title reign already weak? After all, he cashed in MITB after Jeff Hardy was beaten up by Edge, went back and forth with a drug addict and lost a handful of matches to Morrison while reigning over a weak roster.
I'd say that World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk needed a big, clean win over the Undertaker to be a credible big star for WWE. A tapout to the Anaconda Vice--which has rarely been seen, much less beaten in WWE--would be more credible to me than beating Undertaker at HIAC.
My plan would be Undertaker taps at Breaking Point, wins at HIAC, no WHC match at SS, Punk takes back the title at December TLC. Mark Callaway takes some time off for the holidays, returns at the Rumble or at No Way Out to set up Title vs. The Streak for Wrestlemania.
