Undertaker's Mania Streak

If you really go back down the lines of 'Taker at WM he was actually suppose to lose twice.
1)1995 they put him in a feud with King Kong Bundy. At the time, it seemed that the push Bundy was on since his return would of led to a world title program in the summer with Kevin Nash. In order to make the program work, the original plan was for Bundy to beat 'Taker at WM leading to the feud with Nash.
2)1996 'Taker was scheduled to lose to Kevin Nash to set up Nash's heel program with HBK. Before he decided to leave for WCW Nash was scheduled to go over Taker at WM.

All that information is false. The descion in both cases to have Undertaker win were made long before WM. These were just possible outcomes that had been suggested but where never thought about as actual possibilities. Everyone needs to come to realize that Undertaker isn't going to lose to Batista and stop freaking out. Even Vince isn't dumb enough to do something like that. The leak posted earlier was a shit brained half thought out idea that someone at a meeting may or may not have mentioned (possibly as a joke). The Undertaker will remain undefeated at WM until he decides to retire.
 
... Are you actually talking about Kane ending the most extravagant winning streak in the entirety of the WWE? (well... Andre's 15 years was impressive!) Seriously though, Kane would never end Taker's streak because even then fans would riot and leave long before WM was scheduled to be over. Taker is the WWE right now and there is no one who is more respected than him right now, no wrestler has ever gone more than 5 years straight wins at any ppv! (hogan is second to takers with 5 SS wins) It pisses me off that you ppl are actually under the impression that kane could ever take his streak away (haha i said take and under in the same sentence =p)

I'm not saying Kane should or would end it. What i'm saying is if ANYONE was ever gonna be offered the chance to end it, Kane would be the only one deserving of it. But kane wouldn't want to end it. He has too much respect for Taker and WWE would be dumb to even think of ending it.
 
To be honest I can't imagine Taker losing to Batista at WM, nor do I want him to. Another time, another place, I might be able to see a win by Batista, but under these circumstances...come on. Besides, he won the Royal Rumble. For the past 6 Wrestlemanias the Royal Rumble winner has gone on to win the title. Do you think they're gonna put an end to that just so Taker can lose his streak. If you ask me, putting Batista's title on the line is partly a way to make it seem like Taker's opponent has a chance at beating him, considering that's how they try to make it seem every year lately.

But I've been pulling for another Undertaker title reign for a long time now. Imagine what a dominant, intimidating, and downright solid champion he would make. And I have a feeling it will indeed happen at Wrestlemania 23.
 
I agree with Unrated Superstar, it's been to long from the last time taker held any gold and WWE needs a strong champ. Love taker or hate him you have to respect him and if he has the gold that will being a lot more people interested in smackdown.
 
If someone is going to beat him it should be one of the younger kids. BUT not at wm. run a retirement match somewhere down the line but leave his mania record intact. This is one of the reasons i never wanted taker winning the royal rumble
 
Basically if taker loses 1. everyone will hate batista more and batista aint lasting that long anyway cuz he isnt that good. and 2. I believe Detroit would break out in a riot. hell maybe many places will 2
 
well. wwe probaly wants batista to keep the title for now but should keep taker's streak.
(tell me if you like the idea):it could go down at mania like this:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
batista hits batista bomb,taker kicks out and batista gets angry and disqualifies himself.taker keeps streak,batista keeps title and taker gets a rematch at next ppv ,or on smackdown,and wins.
 
that idea is possible, but i would really want Taker to win that title at WM23 outright by pinfall. we all look forward to him giving Batista a real thrashing and pinning him for the world title. a DQ win will be really disappointing. BTW do you think they may change the type of match, because they've got alot of time to do so, such as hell in the cell, etc? there could be certain stipulations made which should make it really interesting.
 
A hell in a cell match at Wrestlemania? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe that's ever been done, and I think the reason for that is that it would be overkill. The match is prestigious enough without a giant cage around the ring. In fact in recent memory, most Wrestlemania main events have been regular matches without special stipulations, whether they be singles matches, triple threat, our fatal four-way. The WM main event with a stipulation that I can remember in the past decade was The Rock vs. Steve Austin in a no DQ match.

But getting back to Taker, I would hate to see him win by DQ, although not quite as much as I would hate to see him lose. And looking back again on the past, when's the last time you saw a title match end in a DQ at WM?

Now that would just suck.
 
Yeah a DQ Finish would suck, but that is probably how it will go down. That way Taker can keep the streak alive, and Batista can still be champ.

They have had a couple of gimmick matches for the WWE Title at Mania if you count the Iron-Man, the Hart vs Austin submission match, and Austin vs The Rock for the WWE Championship in a No DQ match.

But no, never a Hell in a Cell. A casket match or a buried alive or a Last Ride match where they have to drive a hearse out of the arena in Detroit without the hearse getting car-jacked, could be interesting to see...but this is Mania and traditionally it is always a One-on-One standard match.

If it is expect Batista to get DQ'ed. Although, one way to end the streak would be to have Taker just lose it and snap on Batista and beat the snot out of him, leave him a bloody mess, get DQ'ed in the process, and then stuff Batista into a casket and declare himself to still be king of Mania. That could work. Yeah he'd be 14-1 but he would look like a winner.

OR...how is this, Taker and Batista have a brutal match maybe a NO DQ match, and both men are beaten badly but Taker wins...but then, EDGE Mr Money in The Bank winner, IMMEDIATELY uses his shot to challenge Taker for the gold. So we could have Streak vs Streak. Now that would be most cool, but I think Streak vs Streak will be next year.
 
no one is going to get dq'ed on this match....it is going to be batista vs undertaker with taker coming out on top...no way in hell they would make it a dq finish on this match esp what is on the line a title and a streak...of course undertaker will come out on top and win the belt cuz no one is touchin his streak...edges streak isnt really even worthy enough to make it sound like its somthin dangerous but it is likely that a streak vs streak match culd happen between these 2 in a future wrestlemania..even then regardless undertaker would come out on top
 
Actually if i remember correctly about a specialised match at WM, didnt Undertaker have a Hell In The Cell in WM15 against Big Bossman?
 
If Batista Has Indeed Turned Full Fledged Heel, The There Is No Doubt That Taker Wins At Wm. However If They Are Playing The "batista Payed Ut Back For The Choke Slam On Raw" Angle And Batista Some How Stays A Face, Then I Sadly Think Big Dave Wins At Wm.

As Far As A Streak Vs Streak Match Goes For Next Year Taker Would Be 15-0 If He Beats Batista, And Edge At Only 6-0 If He Beats Orton This Year. 15-0 Is Alot Better Than 6-0 But I Guess The Concept Of The 1 On One Of Thier Records Would Be The Main Point Of The Story Line For Wm24.
 
i think vince will play his cards right.Vince doesnt want the streak to end and at the same time he wants batista to keep the belt so the obvious outcome of the match will be the undertaker winning by DQ. this way the streak is alive and the WHC remains with batista. batista cant wrestle but he is so over with the fans and as long as vince keeps piling up the money with batista as the WHC then he will keep him as champ. Same apply to Cena. he cant wrestle but is over with the fans as well. i dont know how it will unfold but if batista will turn heel, wrestlemania will be the time. he will get himself DQ'd to retain the title and at the same time keep the streak alive. the cena and michaels fight, i dont know but shawn will definetely win and when HHH comes back, it will be the end of DX! HHH sucks as a face, even with DX cuz he is much better as a heel. DX was only brought back in for ratings and when HHH comes back i believe that WWE will use a storyline that will involve HHH turning on HBK saying that HBK was never there during his surgery/recovery and michaels was out there for himself focusing on the wwe title instead of being at HHH's side etc. etc. etc. DX is ok but it has to end soon. having HHH as heel and with the rumor of Randy Orton or Edge being turned into face will create a very interesting title contenders for the summer.
very good points i made but its just my opinion
 
I think that if HBK wins the title, by the time HHH is back, he'll probably be after it too as per usual. If Vince thinks that Batista is getting huge pops from the fans, imagine what it would be like if Taker won it at Mania. Now that would bring the money in
 
i think undertaker will beat batista 1 2 3 and win the title then retire as the first wrestler to retire with the title wich then means the followin thursday they will start a turrnoment to decide the new whc champipon
 
Actually if i remember correctly about a specialised match at WM, didnt Undertaker have a Hell In The Cell in WM15 against Big Bossman?

Actually that is correct. However, I can't see a HIAC main event happening at Wrestlemania. Like I said, overkill.

And to be quite honest, I can't believe some of the things I'm hearing. I'm not the type to be condescending in a forum or disrespect what other people have to say, but some of the predictions I'm hearing just aren't gonna happen no matter what.

First off, Undertaker will not retire after Wrestlemania whether he wins the title or not. He's worked so hard to get back to the top and once he finally does he's not just gonna give it up. And like I've said, Undertaker would make such a great champion and it's a travesty that his last title reign was during his biker gimmick. It would be a total waste to just have him give up the title right away and not get to see Taker with a full run as champion once again.

Secondly, I can't believe that some people are saying to expect/that's it's obvious that the match will end in a DQ. Ok, so I can't guarantee that WWE won't be stupid and have that happen, but I think it's extremely unlikely. WWE has been known to do some dumb things, but I don't think they'd end such a high-profile Wrestlemania main event in a DQ like that, especially with Taker in the mix. I know he won by DQ once, but that was a long time ago and it wasn't in the main event. Besides, if they weren't gonna have Taker win the title, they probably wouldn't have had him win the Rumble, and instead would have had him take the plan B route to Wrestlemania like Michaels did. Also, Batista can't keep the title forever, eventually he's gonna have to lose it, and if you ask me it's better for him to lose it while he's still over than to shove him down everyone's throats until we all hate him.

Thirdly, since we've started getting to the topic of Cena vs. Michaels, in response to DXrulz it is not a given that Shawn Michaels will beat Cena. A lot of people thought Triple H would definitely beat Cena last year, but I had a strong feeling Cena would win. This time around I'm not quite as sure, which I know may sound weird considering Triple H has been built up way more than Shawn Michaels (some might disagree with that but that's my opinion). But you just never know what WWE will do. I think back then they thought it would help a lot in putting Cena over more, but now he's about as over as he can be, and beating Shawn Michaels probably won't do much to improve it, which is why Shawn Michaels being the less built-up star might work in his favor. Especially because Triple H has been world champion 10 times, so if Triple H would have won back then it would have possibly been a case of been there, done that. I'm not saying Triple H won't win the title again, but at the time I felt that was the logic, although I would have prefered to have Triple H as champion over Cena any day. But just like Taker, I feel Michaels has one more title run left in him.

And as for Edge winning the MITB and going after Taker right after Taker winning the title...there are so many things wrong with that I don't know where to start. First off, Edge isn't gonna win the MITB, I can practically guarantee it. He might not even be in it for all we know. Do I think he might win over RVD tonight to be in it? It's possible, especially considering RVD's status in the company at the moment, but the problem with that would be that if they did put Edge in it, it would be almost a given that Orton would have to be in it, and the MITB match needs more people who haven't been in the main event picture yet. But even if he's in it, Edge won't win it because we've already been there. Plus, let's just say he did win the match. There is no way in hell they're repeating NYR last year, especially in this situation. I know you weren't really saying it as a prediction Mike, but even as a hypothetical, it wouldn't make any sense whatsoever.

Think about it.
 
I agree, if Batista beats The Undertaker at Wrestlemania, it would have to be one of the stupidest decisions of all-time!
We have to respect what Undertaker has done for this buisness!
You wouldn't take away Flair's 16 times as the World Champion, you wouldn't take away Triple H's 10 times as World Champion, so why would you take away the Undertaker's greatest accomplishment?
 
I think is McMahon has any respect for his fans, he'll have Undertaker continue his streak.

Who else is hoping for the winners of this years Wrestlemania event to be classic WWE? The Undertaker in his old demonic character, holding the title high like he did at Wrestlemania 13, than Shawn Michaels clutching onto that WWE title like he did after the Iron Man match at Wrestlemania 12, I think that conclusion would stand to bring a lot more fans to the WWE. Who wouldn't want to relive the past title reigns of Michaels and Undertaker?
 
I've noticed that Wrestlemania's main events seem to have a kind of similarity to them. At Wrestlemania 20, Chris Benoit and Eddie Guererro stood tall after busting their asses for years. At Wrestlemania 21, the two new bloods, Cena and Batista both won the titles. Wrestlemania 22 didn't have anything like that, but it would've been Cena and Orton if Orton wasn't getting suspended for his attitude. I think this year it's going to be two legends with their last title runs. Taker and Michaels are going to take it this year.
 
if taker looses i will never whatch smackdown again for the few years i have whatched wwe i always cheered for taker and for the years i alays wondered what is better tna or wwe well if taker losses i would think tna
 
ive heard bout this that edge is supposed to win the mitb match and right after batista vs undertaker happens taker is supposed to win and right after edge cashes in the money in the bank. and wins it and jumps to smackdown.
 
i hope taker wins

and no edge wont win the MITB match cus he has already won it 2 years ago it wouldnt make any sense if he does

and i think the only person who beats takers streak should be a old wrestler like hogan or HBK and afetr he is beaten hogan or hbk shack hands with taker and giving him a great respect

thats how i would like to see taker retire
but i hope he doesn't retire lolz
 
i agree with T.D that if anyone should beat taker it should be michales.definetly not hogan he doesnt deserve the honor.Undertaker shouldnt realy ever lose his streak at mania but if he does make it someone whop deserves it.not batista
