Undertaker's Streak Appreciation Thread
Well, with WrestleMania in the books I figured we could all recount our favorite match in the 18-match series.
HBK/Taker I is still my top. |

Yeah, HBK/Taker at WM 25 is still the best. The rematch tonight is easily #2 and #3 would be vs HHH at WM 17.

Preferred HBK/Taker 2 over the first.

HBK/Taker I... HBK/Taker II... and Taker/Diesel
Taker/Diesel is one of the most under-appreciated matches ever. |

i think this match was pretty equal to the last, it only gets my #1 because of the stipulations behind it

Taker/HBK 1 was my favorite.
I really enjoyed Orton/Taker. I thought that was a great match. Taker/Diesel was good too. I liked Edge/Taker as well. However, there was no time I thought Taker was going to lose except in HBK/Taker 1 |

All I can say is that the streak had better fucking well never be broken. If Shawn doesn't deserve to take it, then no one does. Period.
Taker can only wrestle Cena or HHH at Mania next year. Those are the only two who may be able to convince some percentage of fans that it may be broken. But if either of those two break it... Shit. |

The streak should either be kept alive or only broken when The Undertaker can pass the torch. HBK had nothing to gain from beating The Undertaker. If he passes the torch to someone with the potential, focus, and loyalty needed to be a success in WWE, I'll be happy.

There is simply no one reliable enough to take the streak. No one. Anyone who takes the streak will be pushed to the moon, and the fans will shit all over it. In today's world with 4 programs on every week, it just can't be used to build someone else. People will get sick of the new person in no time.

It would be an absolute waste not to have someone break the streak. And it shouldn't be someone that's already made - like Cena or Orton or something like that. The user "The Franchise" said it wouldn't benefit anyone to break the streak but that couldn't be further from the truth. |

I remember watching the Undertaker debut back at Survivor Series '90 and now watch him thinking to myself that he's a strong reliable wrestler who can either choose to go over certain wrestlers or put over certain wrestlers. I mean CM Punk opened his mouth last year during their European leg of the WWE tour and then all of a sudden he lost and Undertaker is champion. I highly doubt it was because creative was creating a storyline for the Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels match at Wrestlemania 26. Though, who knows. Could be. The streak is something that I don't ever see the WWE duplicating because it will take a lot of planning on creative to establish that I just don't think it can be done. Like HTrain said, with 3 programs a week and a pay per view every month, I don't see the streak ever being duplicated. I mean, is it not just luck that the Taker has won every Wrestlemania match before the WWE ever mentioned the streak? Also, I don't really count his match against the Giant Gonzalaz as a win because it was short, lame and a disqualification by Gonzalaz. |

That's not what I said. I said it wouldn't benefit any main-eventer to break the streak. It would benefit a young star but no one is really good enough right now. Maybe in a couple years DiBease or Miz or someone might be but I doubt it.

I'm pretty sure Cena won't break it and even if he was asked to he'd probably refuse.

I really can't decide between Taker/HBK I and Taker/HBK II. I'd have to re-watch both again. I think I marked a little bit more during the first because I was that much more certain of the result going into this year...but still. Amazing matches.

I wanted the HBK appreciation thread instead but I will take what I get. Streak continues, it rocks. End of story!

I wonder WHEN the WWE (or whoever it was) found out that the Undertaker had not lost a WrestleMania match and decided to let it be known that there was a STREAK...OR, if it was a planned thing all along, that he be undefeated at WrestleMania.

Did anyone realize as soon as WWE figured out that Edge was like 6 or 7 and 0 at wrestlemania they had taker smash on him? They didn't plan it, it just kinda happened. When they realized they capitalized on it.

Is it true Kane was once supposed to break Taker's streak but refused?

At WM 14? It's possible especially since the streak wasn't that big of a deal then. I doubt they would have Kane go over at WM 20.
I remember reading Orton was going to snap it in 2005 before he got injured |

Nope, actually WM20. Supposedly it was Taker himself that felt the streak has lived too long and wanted to lose to Kane, but when the WWE officials talked to him he said it's too legendary and all that and he won't do it. I remember reading about this, but no idea how true it is.

Sid needs a rematch. He would end it this time.

He should definitely retire with the streak left alone.
They should take Taker to 20 - 0 at WrestleMania, and then he should hang it up. There is no one that he needs to drop the streak to and it wouldn't help anyone in any circumstance. Cena gets no benefit, HHH gets no benefit, HBK would've had no benefit, and there is no one else in the company or currently in wrestling that would benefit / be worthy enough of it. In reality, with a situation like that - it should be left as one of the few untouchable things in wrestling; like Sammartino's Title Reign, etc. |

Go figure, I am glad they didn't let Kane end it. So I guess Orton was definitely going to break it at WM 21 then (still think that's the most convinced I've been to Taker losing)
Really Taker should just go to 20-0 like Kayfabeman is saying. At this point, over the last 4-5 years the streak has become larger than life. No youngster should even face Taker at WM let alone beat him... and from the main-eventers, no one would benefit from breaking it. They may get X-Pac heat for life ![]() The streak if it were to be broken should have been done by a Lesnar in 2003 or a Cena/Orton in 2005. It probably should just stay now. |

On a side note, am I the only one who - yes, I am saying his name - wishes that Chris Benoit was alive and could have faced Undertaker at some point at WrestleMania???
With seeing the Michaels / Taker match, I have to believe a Benoit / Taker match would have been fantastic as well. [INSERT "UNDERTAKER" - DEATH / BENOIT RELATED JOKES HERE]. |

It would have been a really good match. Those two never really had a chance to put on a great match, which they are capable of.
I think Kurt Angle vs Undertaker at a Wrestlemania could rival the Taker/HBK matches. Remember their NWO 2006 match? That was incredible and is overlooked simply because it was at NWO |
