How I think the Shane vs Undertaker match will go down.

[Icame4Hookers]

So yeah, it will basicly go like this.. Undertaker is beating the crap out of Shane, but Shane keeps getting up, and fighting back, Taker and Shane fight ontop of the cell, and Shane is launched off it landing through the announcer table. and breaking it. with the fans chanting OMG. and Holy shit..

Vince is begging his son not to carry on, mean while Shane is still out cold as Taker picks him up drags him into the ring, but somehow again Shane climbs the cell once more, and Taker choke slams him through the cell.....


Yes I think they're going to go the Hell In a Cell match in 1998 route as they did
With Mick Foley

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I believe Taker no-sells fighting Shane and tells Vince to fuck off and beams out.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I think the original idea would be kinda cool, really.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Well the original idea was John Cena going one on one with the UNDERTAKER playa.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Shane will do something incredibly stupid during the match to remind everyone of how insane he is. My bet is he does go off the cage. They better have Mauro Ranallo calling that moment, because Michael Cole won't do it justice.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I meant the idea of the original poster in this thread. Player.

[erickman]

I am kind of thinking we will get a finger poke of doom taker will take a dive let shane win to piss the crowd off and nwo music will play vince shane and taker will hug.

[CSL]

not a chance he goes through the cell

[Sepholio]

Hey Shane being the head of a new nWo might maybe be awesome.

[harmsway]

I meant the idea of the original poster in this thread. Player.

Damn, he is not too quick with the thinking. Those twinkies are eating his brain cells

[Theo Dious]

I really have no idea how this whole thing is going to pay out without throwing any kind of sense and reason out the window. It'll probably keep me watching though and really that's the point.

[Nicky Fives]

I really have no idea how this whole thing is going to pay out without throwing any kind of sense and reason out the window. It'll probably keep me watching though and really that's the point.

My thoughts exactly.... I don't see how/why Undertaker would fight for Vince, or how Vince could manipulate Taker into representing him.... I'll be watching to see how it plays out for sure, and like the majority of WWE storylines, we'll all complain about "what could have been" when its all said and done.....

[Icame4Hookers]

not a chance he goes through the cell

Why??? It's Shane he loves heights ;) we know where in for a good match either way. I'm so fucking hyped he's back

[Crimson]

We know that's not gonna happen. But I'm counting the days when he replaces Cole. He's much better. But probably not anytime soon.

[Emeye]

Yea, I'm really clueless when it comes to the booking of this match, and I'm also curious to see what Taker has to say. Don't see him (in character) being ok with this.
I know it won't happen, but imagine a Ministry with Taker and Shane at the helm. They could take on the Authority, I've seen mentions of the idea of a brand split, maybe with Shane running one show and HHH/Authority the other. All I can say is, they're being unpredictable for once.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Why??? It's Shane he loves heights ;) we know where in for a good match either way. I'm so fucking hyped he's back

I can see him going off the cell through a table, but I think the bump through the cell and into the ring just leaves too many variables for things to go wrong. I say this with no professional training though.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I finally got around to watching the Shane/Vince/Steph segment from RAW. After reading and hearing people talk about it, I got the impression that Shane had to win the match against Taker to get control of the WWE. Vince actually said that he'll give Shane what he wants (control of RAW -- not WWE) as long as he has one match. Was it mentioned anywhere else on the show that he has to win?

My bet is that Shane just gets tossed around like a Christ figure for our sins, gets beaten and Taker wins the match.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I can see them doing another brand split, and my guess is that Shane either sticks around part-time as figurehead, or after he's put on a show for his kids and done a favor to the company, he appoints Daniel Bryan the General Manager of RAW and rides off into the sunset.

[Mr. Nerfect]

As far as commentary goes: I could see Mauro Ranallo having a WrestleMania presence. Maybe they bump Byron Saxton from the RAW commentary team as a trial and have Michael Cole, Mauro Ranallo and JBL serve as the RAW/PPV team? They might trial them in the coming weeks or even at the Toronto Network special to see if there's chemistry.

Ranallo is so good at play-by-play, but my first impression of him was that he doesn't encapsulate "moments" as well as Jim Ross possibly could. No one has. If you're going to use a three-man team (which I'm not a fan of), then Mauro as the play-by-play, a heel color guy and a further babyface "storyteller" could be the best combo. Mauro & Jim Ross would be great, but I think that's probably not on the agenda, so Mauro & Cole works out fine. Better than Mauro & Saxton would anyway -- it's a tough spot Saxton's in.

Let Byron stay on with Heel King on SmackDown and develop his play-by-play/storyteller chops. Maybe in the future he can slip into babyface soundbyte guy on RAW when Michael Cole becomes Executive Vice President of Communications or some shit.

[Mr. Nerfect]

If the Saxton/King team doesn't work out, you can add Rich Brennan, Tom Phillips or Michael Cole to it -- depending on who you feel like featuring at the time.

[Mr. Nerfect]

So your commentary roster would look like:

PPV: Mauro Ranallo, Michael Cole & JBL
RAW: Mauro Ranallo, Michael Cole & JBL
SmackDown: Byron Saxton & Jerry Lawler
Main Event: Rich Brennan & Jerry Lawler
Superstars: Rich Brennan & Byron Saxton
NXT: Tom Phillips & Corey Graves

[Sixx]

Wait, what?

Undertaker is gonna fight Shane McMahon?

Hahahahaha

Why not Pete Rose? Or PeeWee?

[Sepholio]

I really don't think Shane will wrestle but have a replacement.

[Icame4Hookers]

He's been training non stop for it. he's 100% wrestling

[Ruien]

It's 100% Kurt Angle.

we'll never see anybody do the likes of those 2 Foley bumps in a cell match again, especially now the cells are higher. He could wind up doing a heavily gimmicked bump ala Rikishi at Armageddon but no way he takes a big free-fall with a rough-landing. I think the fun from that match will come from it being a well-booked clusterfuck with a bunch of run ins

[DAMN iNATOR]

There's actually been talk going around that if he's ready to come back (which I very seriously doubt) that they might try to shoehorn Cena into the match with Shane in his corner.

If that WERE the case, you could just have 'Taker cut a heel promo face-to-face with Cena about how he's tired of Cena being called the face of the company. For 25 years, he earned everything he got, yet Cena's barely spent half that time with the company and gets everything handed to him like the entitled, spoiled brat he is. 'Taker says Cena better be ready for the fight of his life inside the cell, because he'll do whatever it takes to keep Vince, Steph and Triple H in power, and at WrestleMania 32, Cena WILL REST...IN...PEACE.

Have Vince in 'Taker's corner for WM, obviously. For the finish, maybe just as Cena has delivered what looks like the AA which will end the match, who else but Kane pops up from underneath the ring, 'Taker laid out cold, having not moved an inch since taking the AA. Cena stands there, shocked for a second before trying in futility to clear Kane out, and then Kane nails Cena with a tombstone. 'Taker pops upright just in time to see a shadowy figure disappear back beneath the ring, then notices Cena lying dead center in the ring. He folds Cena's arms across his chest for the 1-2-3. Cena is barely able to struggle to the back afterwards with Shane and the ref helping him as 'Taker celebrates with Triple H, Vince and Stephanie.

I dunno, man. Something tells me that crazy son of a bitch could easily talk his way into say, a huge Leap of Faith elbow drop onto 'Taker lying on the announce table.

Lest we forget, this is a man who's jumped from the top of the titantron twice, and endured and survived a botched spot involving Angle throwing him through plate glass at KotR 2001. If there's anybody they'll green light to do a crazy-ass bump at a WM match it's Shane O'Mac.

[Theo Dious]

My thoughts exactly.... I don't see how/why Undertaker would fight for Vince, or how Vince could manipulate Taker into representing him...

My initial thought is that Shane's "I have something over you" might be countered by Vince saying "I have something over the Undertaker." It's not the most sensible thing in the world but they could play off like Vince has had something that he's waited until now to pull the trigger on to save his company from Shane. Return of the Higher Power in a way. It's thin ice but it wouldn't be the most ridiculous notion they've ever come out with.

I swear to God if this in any way ends up making Vince the Undertaker's dad I'll show up at Mania and break into that cage myself.

But we've gotta remember that was 15 years ago. He's an older man than he was then and, if he has any sense, won't be willing to take the same bumps he once would.

If I thought there was a chance of him taking the big bumps then this booking would make sense. But at the moment I can't see how it works. This means either the match will be changed in the run up to the event, or they've just booked themselves into a poor match. Either is possible.

True, but he also did the same spot v. Kane in another Last Man Standing match @ Unforgiven '03, and that was some 2 1/2 years later. This also isn't his first HiaC match, as he teamed with Vince and (WW)ECW Champion Big Show v. DX in Unforgiven '06. He last wrestled less than 7 years ago, and in that interim time, I've got to believe that in the last few months he must've been busting his ass to get rid of the ring rust, so I'd say it's all but certain that Shane will be involved in SOME kind of high-impact bump spot at WM 32, whether on the giving or receiving end of it.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I don't see them doing the bait-and-switch. Why advertise the match in the first place? Why would you try and get people excited about the idea of a Shane match and then pull him from it? Why would you have Vince demand he compete only for him then not have to and still get his way? Why have the face back out of the match?

Shane is wrestling. In the mind of many, the McMahons are stars. And when you hear Shane talk, it's easy to remind yourself that he's an amazing performer. He's also insane and has something to prove. Not only will Shane wrestle The Undertaker, but McMahon ego is too big for it to be anything less than a memorable classic.

What isn't certain is how they go about building the match. Does The Undertaker heel it up? He's been kicking people in the nuts since Battleground. It could be a case of "I like you, Shane, but it's WrestleMania..." or "I've always hated you, you little prick -- now I get to make oprhans of your children."

CSL brings up a good point about the cell and the WWE probably not wanting guys to go off it anymore. But I do think that if anyone does it it will be Shane.

[Mr. Nerfect]

If John Cena returns in time for WrestleMania, which I don't think is advisable but whatever, I think he might team with The New Day against The League of Nations. The New Day are basically faces anyway and might give Cena something fun to do and show off that "cool guy" side. It takes a lot of pressure off Cena to perform and addresses his history with Del Rio.

HOW DARE YOU, SIR?! :mad:

lol

I booked this out in my head

Taker refuses to wrestle Shane doesnt want to be responsible for a murder in front of 100000 people. Vince forces Cena to wrestle him. Durring the match Taker comes out and helps Shane win (call back to Corporate Ministry). Sets up Taker vs Cena for next year's WM.

[Theo Dious]

I'd like to see interference by some of the victims of the streak; some trying to help Shane, some trying to help Taker. Most are still alive - The Big Bossman & Giant Gonzalez being the only deceased, and Snuka unavailable for various reasons. Quite a few are with the company in some capacity - Kane, Lesnar, Big Show, Mark Henry, Edge, Albert, Flair, Michaels, HHH, and surely getting Nash, Sid, and Jake to participate wouldn't be a huge effort. Not sure what Batista's credit with the company is at the moment given his anti-WWE comments regarding Titus-gate. Throwing a few of those guys at the match would certainly spice thinga up.

[Theo Dious]

And I didn't leave out King Kong Bundy by accident - I'd rather they exhumed El Gigante's corpse and use it as set deoration.

SOMETHING like this, with all past Mania victims would have been fucking amazing for the match that "broke the streak". Might be decent for a "final match" too. It would added to the "mystique".

Yeah I always thought that when he finally loat, a host of druids should come to the ring, then lower their hoods to reveal that they were all Taker's previous Mania opponents, who would then escort him to the back.
