Why Undertaker and HBK 2 should NOT happen at Wrestlemania.

[Phoenix]

How about Shawn Michaels vs Triple H vs Undertaker? That could be an excellent match and it would be different than last year's.

Simply put, no.

Here are the reasons.

1. Undertaker has beaten both Triple H and Shawn at Wrestlemania. Now while Shawn is ok with going down for Taker, Triple H will not do the same. It was noted a year ago that Triple H wanted to end Taker's streak as "revenge" for the win at Wrestlemania X-Seven.

2. Hunter and Shawn in the ring are a bad idea because they simply want to be in the spotlight for more than 20 minutes. Even when neither were in the title picture during 2004, they were Main Eventing with matches like the 40 minute Cell match! Also, most likely, the creative clash given the three men's respective status in the WWE.

3. Triple H will want to be in the title match at Wrestlemania, simply put. When was the last Wrestlemania he was not in the title match outside of injury? Wrestlemania 17 to be exact, he's always been in a title match since.

Please keep in mind this is about why Taker/HBK 2 is a bad idea, while it's good to suggest ways of making it interesting, but it's focusing purely on the rematch itself, adding Triple H to the mix makes it not a rematch but a different match all together.

Who wants to see it again? it would be good but not at mania, hbk should fight morrison in a sort of passing of the torch (since he is compared to hbk), or for the wwe title an get one last run with the strap.Undertaker should fight john cena no doubt, the poster boy vs the legend=money maker.

 

[darqknyt]

The only way for it to work would be for Taker to job to Shawn....which aint going to happen.And if it did it,would bury Taker's Wrestlemania legacy.Shawn will look like a woss if he loses 2yrs in a row, even if its a world title match.I do believe HBK's arrogant enough to want 'the best match' at a Wrestlemania.He had wanted to wrestle Kurt Angle again at WM22 even though they had wrestled like 3 time the previous year. A re-match would have made sense at SummerSlam, not at 'Mania. I actually would have been in favor of Cena vs. Taker.HHH vs. HBK would bomb mainly because HHH isnt that great an athlete+technically wrestler.It was the emotion of the fued that put over HBK/HHH and not the matched per say.Its bad enough they want HHH to wrestle Lamemus(Sheamus) at Mania, HBK vs. Taker would be equally lame, no matter how many spots they pull off.

 

[wadskillen]

Yeah, definately should be taker v cena at mania. the storyline is perfect as cena has already said that he will not lose until he wins the title so it would leave it the streak v cenas promise. would be an excellent time to turn cena heel too as "screwing taker out of the title+streak" would leave cena with heat he could live off 4 2 years. Plus most 18-35s hate him anyway and this would be the best way to turn the kiddies against him. Personally i would prefer the streak to go to someone else(like punk who remains a superstar despite the oppressive booking) but turning cena heel via a screwjob could be awesome!

 

[macksstream]

Taker Vs HBK at mania again wouldnt be the same. Not the same energy, excitement or surprise. they pulled out all the stops last time but they couldnt match it again. If they did it again, only the first one would be famous. Its like the Ladder match at WM10. Thats the most famous ladder match of all time. But noone really remembers the rematch they had at summerslam. Its not as big as the wrestlemania one. You can only really do an awesome match like that once.

 

[wadskillen]

+ the sheer magnitude(that the right word?) or sheer massiveness of a cena v taker match at mania would free up the other title match alot so we could try a few newcomers and give them a chance to shine. I aint a fan of sheamas yet but he seems to be doing a good job so far and anything that can keep hhh away from the title scene this mania will be a godsend. So maybe a triple threat with two newbies and the always immense shawn michaels to help them along. but unfortunately vince will panic and we will have taker v hbk, cena v hhh v orton(wm24), all the up and comers floundering in the mitb match while a returning edge wins it. strait edge society tag match against faces hart dynasty will get bumped from ppv, ha this shit writes itself, what an easy job

 

[Paradox]

Okay, I don't understand why everyone doesn't see why this match should happen. We've seen the same match done to death before and we complain about that. This isn't the case here, it's been over a year since we've seen it, and everyone is upset. While I don't want anything to be taken away from last years match, I think it will still be the best match on the card if it happens. Wasn't this month when we saw Angle and Styles put on a great match? And then they put another great match less than a month later? You have two of the best in ring guys to ever lace'em up. They can put on a classic. I personally would enjoy seeing these two again.

However, I wouldn't be disapointed to see a 'Taker vs Cena match. Though if they go the Michaels vs 'Taker route I think we will see Edge vs Jericho, Orton vs Dibiase, with Cena and Batista going the interbrand match, and HHH vs Shaemus for the title. That's one way it could play out, and that's a decent card.

Taker/HBK 2 is not a good Idea at all. HBK/HHH I like but have HBK turn heel it has been how long for him. Taker/Cena probably not VKM has onther idea for Cena and it is the Rock. Taker I think should not in the title picture @ WM26 he should lose it before hand. So who should fight Taker that is the question. Who can use a boost? There are a couple of ppl and dont forget ECW cause Taker/Kozlov would be good so would Taker/Jackson but I hope Jackson beats Christian. Now from RAW who would be good? Even though I cant stand him at all in any way maybe the Miz/Taker. His arrogants and gun for Taker thinking he could win and some how have him injur Taker shortly before WM so you wonder maybe he has a chance (yeah right) or maybe MVP/Taker. Well Smackdown I am blank on.

 

[SHAYAN_CENA_Y2J]

Actually it seems that HBK vs. HHH and Cena vs. Taker are the best choices for headlining Wrestlemania , but let be honest , it won't happen.WWE Title match needs a mega-face in one side and if it isn't gonna be HHH,HBK or Cena then Who will it be?

I prefer to see an Elimination FATAL 4 WAY WWE championship , just similar to what happened exactly 10 years ago.

HHH vs. RANDY ORTON vs. HBK vs. let's say, TED DiBIASIE.

Also as mentioned by a lot of posters, Cena to win Royal Rumble and meeting TAKER for the WHC.

In this way,You can fulfill all of expectations. HHH & Cena are at title matches, HBK can go against HHH when they are last 2 remaining in the match,DiBIASIE is finally pushed and Orton walks in as champion.

This seems to be more realistic.

 

[reyrey12]

I think teb debiasi would win the rumble because hes the least expected to win and might even eliminate hbk to win. Also rey mysterio has a great advantage against undertaker and i think batista would interfear tho nd screw everything up then teddy long will come out and make it a triple threat match.

 

[Phenom27]

ok seriously if there gonna do hbk and hh at wrestlemania do it this year not another taker hbk match great last year but common try something diff...blah blah blah dont break up dx but common we need a shake up or something seriously im getting bored but as long as taker keeps his streal im cool

 

[mrrrrrrrrr. kennedy!!!!!!]

First of all HBK vs. HHH is NOT a good alternative. thats all we saw in 03 and 04 was those two so please people stop saying that!

Second of all i think Undertaker vs HBK is a great idea if its done the right way. And the only way to do it the right way is if something crazy happens after the match. So here is what i propose:

Shawn Michaels wins the royal rumble by throwing out triple h. Now for this to work i thing undertaker vs michaels for the WHC needs to be the main event. Undertaker and shawn have another classic match and taker narrowly wins but juse exhausts himself in the process. After the match when taker is celebrating and just as people are about to turn the channel... KANES music hits and its the old kane with mask on and he comes out with his money in the bank briefcase that he won in the first match and defeats undertaker with a tombstone to win the title and beat the streak.

Im really behind this potentially happening and iv said it in another thread cuz this does so much. Kane becomes relevant again and cements his legacy, we finally get a MITB cash in at mania which people have been waiting for. For the purpose of this thread we get another great match between HBK and taker and all the buildup of whether HBK can beat the streak and kane comes out of nowhere and does it.

I think to have a rematch from last year something shocking would have to happen and this is perfect in my eyes... And for the record undertaker has said off camara that he wants kane to be the one to end the streak so this is perfect.

 

[hhh420us]

Who does this match benefit? The actual old school wrestling fan if there is even any left out there. Do I want to see 2 of the greatest performers in Wrestlemania history wrestle for only the 5th time 13yrs? Absolutely! Do I want to see Undertaker VS John Cena(Who cant lace either's boots)? Hell No! Do I wanna see HBK VS HHH for the 15th time in the Last 8yrs? Hell No! I above everything else want a good match and I know I wont be dissapointed. Please someone out there restore my faith in wrestling fans and tell me that I am not alone!

 

[spiketbear]

I seriously hope this match doesn't happen again. That would just be wrong. It's like re-releasing a classic movie and changing parts of it, a la Star Wars. DONT DO IT.

We will know HBK's WM opponent after the Rumble. If HHH throws him out, it will be him. If no one exciting throws him out, then he will just fight his way into the WWE Title match at WM. Either way, as long as it's not Taker again, I will be happy.

 

[Jwhunt316]

After watching RAW looking at it right now, HBK/HHH at Mania is starting to look like IT'S A GO!! After Shawn hearing all what HHH said about stepping on HBKs dream to get to his own & Shawn's expression & answer to me says it all. He says "I Understand' to him like he really meant to say 'You Son Of A Bitch!!" At the moment now it looks like Shawn could be the one out to be the heel for this fued.

Still though I said it looks like a go for Mania but of course nothings confirmed in place yet. If the Battle does indeed turn out to be on for Mania then I too would want HBK to win as well. I think he's due for another Mr. Mania Match which includes a victory & also what you've mentioned above that HHH has won alot of there past battles & now I think it's Shawns turn.

 

[wadskillen]

hhh240us, you consider yourself an old school wrestling fan why exactly? Cuz you use old school wrestling slang? hell yeah! Because your idea of a ppv is more befitting an old school era? The early to mid 90s perhaps. I wouldnt have taken any heed to your mail as we are all entitled to our opinion but you decided to come on the forum and have a wee whinge about restoring your faith in wrestling fans. Well excuse us if we dont wanna see hbk kick out of three tombstones this time. i have no doubt that the match would be quality but i think most 'real' old school wrestling fans(wtf does that mean exactly neway?) see the bigger picture on this one in that taker n hbk, two of our most bankable performers on the grandest stage of them all, would be better utilised elsewhere on the card. Taker n cena not being able to lace each others boots? One of cenas best ever one on ones came against taker way back in 'mid era??' 2002. Imagine the match now with the heat cena brings to most arenas whether you love him or hate him and with the 18-35 male demograph in full tune as they fear the wwe might do the or indeed commit the ultimate sin. End the streak to the bad selling, not believable offense, shitty John Cena. ha, it could be close to the atmosphere the night hogan fought the rock at 18.

 

[MiiX]

I think they are buliding for it, but it wont happen at wrestlemania, My mind is working it as HHH will win the rumble, choose taker to face at wrestlemania 26, DX split pretty much happens now, HBK will jump ship to Smackdown and be in the smackdown elimination chamber match and win the world heavyweight title, so in a way the SD! chamber match will be basically built around HBK/Taker, then we have HHH/s HBK at wrestlemania, as for Taker maybe vs Cena and Batista for wwe title(by way of Cena winning it at elimination chamber) thats my thoughts, im stoned so i might not make any sense.

 

[ThePike_16]

I'm Sorry but ive been watching WWE since 1997 and i loved the attitude era because it was awesome basically lol
however WWE lately is slowly dying and Tna i dont feel is on the uprise yet but there futures looking bright. I think the WWE writers have been struggling for story lines since late 2002 we seem to have the same things happening all the time now just a different set of people look at the last 4 manias
HHH Vs Cena - WM22
HBK vs Cena - WM23
HHH vs Cena Vs Orton - WM 24
HHH Vs Orton - WM25

we need to see change now we may see
Undertaker vs HBk - WM26
Undertaker vs HBk - WM27
Undertaker vs HBk - WM28
until HBK beats him for his streak i think we need somthin new HBK vs Mysterio is good whenever they wrestle
mayb have there biggest match at mania and for Undertaker have him start up a new ministry just 2 get the young guys a chance to be made in to top stars it could work have punk gallows bring back kevin thorn and the guy how made a very dark promo but got released i think this could do nothing but boost there chances in the wwe have them go up against a new Corporation/union Just to try n get the young stars up such as Santino(cut his comedy) swagger,kofi,rhodes, Dibiase, bourne, yoshi, these i can see bein future mid card/ heavy weight champs

 

[hellod245]

I was thinking the same thing few days before. Undertaker dont need to fight HBK at wrestlemania again. If they want to repeat the spectacle they can have that match at Royal Rumble or Summerslam. A match again at wrestlemania will not benefit anyone. When wwe teased the match first i was like wow that would be great, but now i am realising that spectacles never happens again. Miracleshappens only once in a lifetime and match at wrestlemania 25 was a miracle. One of the best match of all time. HHH vs HBK can be a great match. Instead of Taker HBK wwe can bring Sting in wwe just for one match against Taker at Mania and i know if booked peoperly Sting can come for one match deal. taker vs Cena match can be great too and this match can be the starting of long awaiting cena's heel turn.

 

[KingOfKingsFan101]

And there's no way HBK is going to break the streak, he just isn't. No one is, unless the next Lesnar turns up (and sure as hell that ain't Sheamus).

This is so true the reason undertaker has become such an icon of WWE is due to his sucess at WMs. THE STREAK WILL NEVER BE BROKEN! this will cement undertakers legacy as one of the best of all time by never losing at a WM .I believe taker MIGHT go to 20-0 and end his career at a WM (the reason 20 is cos its a milestone) though he is old he still has a very strong presence in the WWE

I believe that Shawn Should represent Bret Hart and HHH represent Mr Macmahon that would be my personal WM match involving both HHH and HBK

 

[jackhammer_27]

With all the build-up WWE has been giving an HBK/Taker rematch at Wrestlemania, I can't help but think it's all a bit too obvious. In my opinion the seeds of HHH/HBK have been sown and are already starting to grow into an interesting fued, more so than a Wrestlemania 25 rematch has been. Let's just say Taker doesn't meet HBK at Mania. Who would you like to see him face and why, or do you think the rematch will happen? Also, how would you build up to the match? I actually think going back to the MSG Raw, where Taker tombstoned Cena, will somehow lead to a match with them at Mania. I also think maybe Batista could get involved with this somehow.

 

[Straight Sh00ter]

Taker vs. Michaels is not a great idea. I do believe that the only reason this match is being booked (if it actually will take place) is because undertaker and shawn WANT the match. The only reason I can see WWE doing this match again, is if Vince is told by Taker and Shawn that this is the match both want. I really hope the whole Shawn challenging taker again 2 months ago was the planting of seeds for HHH vs HBK. That is the match I really want to see. Probelm is, I think it is very obvious we are going to see Cena vs Batista as apart of the Hart McMahon storyline which would leave taker with no opponent. After the raw angle, am convinced we will be seeing taker Michaels II, much to my chagrine.
