Taker's matches with Shawn and HHH for those four years added a big match backbone, no doubt, but the only time it was put in a position to truly be the big draw on the show, 26, did the lowest Mania numbers in seven years, and that pains me to say because that build-up was fucking outstanding.

Blame the numbers on the stupid Batista v. Cena freaking "Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, Start" Championship main event. Nobody wanted to see that.
