In the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter (dated November 27th), Dave Meltzer is reporting that Vince McMahon has already agreed to a Batista vs Undertaker match, in a 'world title vs WM streak' match at Wrestlemania 23. Probably the most significant thing written is that Batista is the one planned to get the win, at this point.

Why should the Undertaker put over a guy who is only about 3 1/2 years younger than he is?

Why should the Undertaker put over a guy who is only about 3 1/2 years younger than he is?

Taker is hopefully stubborn enough to not give it up to Batista. Surely? There are many better choices to end Taker's streak than Batista. Ken Doane comes to mind. The guy is so young, and he's already got so much talent. Bring him back up, call him "Ken Doane", and push the bastard.

Hell, give it Lashley and get him over as an uber heel.

I'm telling you with proper direction Lashley can be a major heel.

I don't like the idea of Taker/Batista.

El Fangel
11-28-2006, 12:43 AM
I don't like the idea of his streak being broken, a 14-0 Streak is something that isn't likely to happen again, in the next 20 years, the only chance likely is Edge (4-0 I think) and Mankind (0-8 I think)

Plus who is going to carry who to a good match?

Jordan

I think Undertaker will win.

Shadow

Oh this shall only end in tears and fire.

Seriouslly...use that streak on someone who's a lot younger. Like CM Punk for example.

El Fangel
11-28-2006, 01:28 AM
Or not break it at all, and leave a legacy worthy of rememberance.

Jeritron
11-28-2006, 02:00 AM
At this point its not even breakable. Why break it now, in the final years of his career. They should just keep pitting him against guys I don't mind seeing buried, like Mark Henry and Umaga. Seriously, if you're gonna end it now after all these years why would you have it be an ol, injury-prone batista. If they were planning on breaking it at some point it should have gone to Orton at WM21. Now it should remain intact, with one exception: Edge. The undefeated Edge should make a push for his streak, at least for a while and hes younger and more deserving to go over. Other than that I say he stay perfect at WM.
If this match happens (which I hope it doesnt), I'm rooting for Taker to go over and win the title. Might not be the best thing for the company but its what I want, especially if its his last wrestlemania.

Why not have Batista face off against Edge or Orton jumping brands after a Rumble win.

Actually I have always believed that if the streak should ever be broken it should be Kane, and it makes sense, and the little "brother" gets elevated to new heights, hell maybe a world title shot, but don't get too hopefu, and the legacy ending would make sense, and I agree with Skippord.

Jeritron
11-28-2006, 03:39 AM
I dont think the legacy ending does make sense. If you end it now, then what did it ever mean. If he loses to Batista, then why didn't he job to Orton? Why didnt he job to Kane at 14? Why didn't Flair win his big match back in 02?
Its just stupid to me to come this far and have it broken by a guy who doesn't need to get over, and isn't going anywhere but down or onto the injured list until his eventual retirement only years into his late career stint at the top.
What is gained from this match? Nothing is gained, and a lot is lost.
Under the scenario that Taker in fact wins the title, which I'd prefer of the two outcomes, its still shitty. He has nothing to prove as a champion and he has his wrestlemania title win. Undertaker is one of few guys who is actually more interesting without the belt, and unless its part of a final run before retirement he shouldnt hold the belt again when theres a bunch of wiser choices.

Mercury Bullet
11-28-2006, 11:59 AM
If this is the matchup then I hope Taker wins, has little glory run with the title, and then drops the belt to someone who is on the rise and preferably never been champ before. Then Undertaker can retire fresh off a title run and put over someone who maybe can be the future of the business.

It is being reported that The Undertaker's WrestleMania winning streak is coming to an end next year at the hands of Batista.

Of all the potential people I had in mind to end the streak, Batista wasn't even on the list.

But is this neccessarily a bad thing? If so, who would you guys prefer to see take Taker's streak, considering the chances are that he is losing at WrestleMania 23?

NeanderCarl
11-28-2006, 05:02 PM
I think if Taker is going to lose at Mania, they should pull him off SmackDown ASAP, or at least have him lose a cross-brand match. The fans may resent a guy like a C.M. Punk or a Lashley if they beat the 'Taker so soon into their careers, though. I think a guy like Edge is perfect (and it would be undefeated streak vs undefeated streak).

Kane Knight
11-28-2006, 05:15 PM
If it was cross brand, it'd be MAKE IT OR BREAK IT for both Smackdown and Raw or ECW. I don't think we can afford to risk that much potential BREAK IT.

Caged Heat18

I certainly like Kane. Everyone does. He still manages to draw and remain interesting when used right, and hes a great go to guy when you need a fresh face in the main event scene. Unfortunately, he never goes over and its a shame that he never got his due and his ship has likely sailed.

I'm just pointing out how remarkable it is that he remains so well liked and still works as a "dominant monster/unstoppable force" when hes been jobbed out in virtually every fued or title shot hes been involved in.

Someone else already said it, if Orton didn't beat him for it 2 years ago, Taker shouldn't lose. Put him in there against Umaga and do that Undefeated vs Undefeated match. Have him get DQed or someting against Cena that way he still is going into that match. Yes the match will suck but will kill two birds with one stone..


Send Umaga back where he belongs to Midcard Hell and Takers streak continues.

It's not about young vs. old but rather fresh vs. stale. Despite his age, Batista's one of the hottest commodities they've had over the past few years. I'm not saying he should be ending the streak or anything just pointing out something.

And Brock whacked the crap out of Taker with a chair several times and busted him open with the steps and just about broke every rule in the business. It's a Hell in a Cell match; everything's legal.

11-29-2006, 01:43 AM
The Undertaker better not lose to Batista at Wrestlemania, it'll be such a waste of an instantanious to put someone over huge. I hate Batista and I think that he's a lazy wrestler that doesn't care much for the buisness. Not only that but he doesn't even have a good sense for the buisness. That all being said Batista is over like no one else in the WWE. He doesn't need this, their are only like three people in the WWE that deserve that Wrestlemania win over Undertaker.

1. Kane: Because he has gone his entire career doing everything the WWE ever wanted him to do, and he deserves to have a big moment in the sun.

2. Carlito: A guy who is on the cusp of greatness and if he gets that big victory he could always use it to get more over.

3. Shelton Benjamin: Very similar to Carlito.

But then again we all know The Undertaker will use his pull to get the victory at Wrestlemania so all will be right with the world.

They should so have Kenny help Mr. Kennedy win his alleged Last Ride Match with The Undertaker at Armageddon. Have him stat calling himself "Ken Doane" and working some great matches with Chris Benoit, etc. Everyone admits Doane has talent, but when he challenges The Undertaker to a match at WrestleMania, people talk about how crazy he is.

Basically make it WrestleMania 21, done right. Ken Doane gets the pinfall, and ends the streak of The Undertaker. You have a new icon.

You know, 10 years ago, if there was an internet used by marks, I bet Smarks would have been saying the same thing, just replace Undertaker with Andre and Batista with Hulk Hogan.

The issue here is: Batista is a big star, like him or not. He is only one win away from what many would picture as "Immortality." That win? The Undertaker at Wrestlemania. I've actually remembered seeing the Orton feud and thinking "Orton isn't a big enough name to pull this off. If it were Batista at Wrestlemania Next Year..."

Yeah, my opinion means shit, but I actually think that maybe not from a wrestling standpoint, but from a business standpoint, this is a good idea. Streaks like these are made to be ended. It puts over the guy who ends the streak. You could say it should be Carlito or Shelton or Doug Basham until you're blue in the face. The things is, the casual fan can't see Carlito beating the Undertaker at Wrestlemania. The casual fan can't see Shelton Benjamin beating the Undertaker at Wrestlemania. The casual fan CAN see Batista beating the Undertaker at Wrestlemania.

For the record, I'm saying that as a Carlito fan. He should have the Intercontinental Title by then, though.

I don't know why they don't do a DX - Brothers Of Destruction feud heading into Mania. Something that hasn't been done before.

After DX defeat Orton & Edge eventually, DX come out after on Raw and announce that they are the most dominant team in the WWE, ever. So many teams (Trips could list them) have tried to keep them down, but no-one could ever end DX.

The lights go out, the fire pyro goes and out come the Brothers. Taker gets on the mic and says that there is one team they have never faced. One team that has been through life & death together. Triple H is one of the many members of the streak, and it's time to add Michaels to it.

Michaels and Trips could do their funny faces, run away when they come to the ring. They could run off saying they aren't facing them, 'we aren't crazy'. They could then show up on SD to cost them a match or something. Build up the cowardly nature of them. Have them feud across the Royal Rumble, where Triple H is dominating, and Kane followed by Taker come out. Keep the Brothers chasing DX and never really catching them, while DX don't do anything particularly BAD to them, until say, a month before Mania.

Have a contract signing on Raw, have DX, still playing up the scared act, and during the signing they jump the brothers, busting them both open with sledgehammers and baseball bats. Have DX turn nasty at that single point, the crowd would be all over them. Have them say that Takers 'legacy' will dengerate in front of everyones eyes, as people have forgotten who they are.

Have them mock the Brothers for the weeks running up to Mania, with Taker doing his normal 'smoke around the ring/video package thing' that they always do.

Then have the match at Mania, have Taker pin Michaels.

This gives Kane a main event match at Mania, the match will sell on its own, gives DX something fresh and an ACTUAL team to go up against and eliminates the huge problem that there just isn't any mid-to-upper carder on any show that currently deserves to take Takers streak.

It's hard to know what you mean, Destor, when you quote the whole post. :p

If you mean Batista, I suppose you're right. But I would like the Kennedy/Taker feud to go there instead of create a totally new feud between Batista and Taker. Just me though.

I've already echoed my sentiments in the other thread. At this point, I hope they change their minds (it happens).

Altho I'm shocked they've actually booked that far in advance. WWE + advanced booking??? :???:

I don't know why they don't do a DX - Brothers Of Destruction feud heading into Mania. Something that hasn't been done before.

After DX defeat Orton & Edge eventually, DX come out after on Raw and announce that they are the most dominant team in the WWE, ever. So many teams (Trips could list them) have tried to keep them down, but no-one could ever end DX.

The lights go out, the fire pyro goes and out come the Brothers. Taker gets on the mic and says that there is one team they have never faced. One team that has been through life & death together. Triple H is one of the many members of the streak, and it's time to add Michaels to it.

Michaels and Trips could do their funny faces, run away when they come to the ring. They could run off saying they aren't facing them, 'we aren't crazy'. They could then show up on SD to cost them a match or something. Build up the cowardly nature of them. Have them feud across the Royal Rumble, where Triple H is dominating, and Kane followed by Taker come out. Keep the Brothers chasing DX and never really catching them, while DX don't do anything particularly BAD to them, until say, a month before Mania.

Have a contract signing on Raw, have DX, still playing up the scared act, and during the signing they jump the brothers, busting them both open with sledgehammers and baseball bats. Have DX turn nasty at that single point, the crowd would be all over them. Have them say that Takers 'legacy' will dengerate in front of everyones eyes, as people have forgotten who they are.

Have them mock the Brothers for the weeks running up to Mania, with Taker doing his normal 'smoke around the ring/video package thing' that they always do.

Then have the match at Mania, have Taker pin Michaels.

This gives Kane a main event match at Mania, the match will sell on its own, gives DX something fresh and an ACTUAL team to go up against and eliminates the huge problem that there just isn't any mid-to-upper carder on any show that currently deserves to take Takers streak.


That's a great idea actually. The only thing I'd do is turn Undertaker and Kane heel rather then DX. It would work out better if DX were the face because then you get the fans rooting for DX to do the impossible, end Undertaker's streak, would make for a better build. That and it'd be cool for DX to kid around and do childish pranks while the Brothers of Destruction try to teach them a lesson.

You just made up the best possible thing tp happen at wrestlemania, unlikely to happen but you gave me something to hope to happen. Thanks.

Actually I have always believed that if the streak should ever be broken it should be Kane, and it makes sense, and the little "brother" gets elevated to new heights, hell maybe a world title shot, but don't get too hopefu, and the legacy ending would make sense, and I agree with Skippord.



I heard that the Undertaker wanted to have Glen "Kane" Jacobs to break his streak but Glen didnt want it. Jacobs said he would rather Mark keep it or havea younger guy break it

If that is true, I have more respect for Kane then I ever had before, for not taking one of the biggest legacies in sports entertainment.

I never thought of Kane/Undertaker vs DX.
It could be a good idea, simply because it puts the 4 of those superstars in a high profile match. This simplifies booking the title matches.
You could pit Benoit against Batista, making one of them a heel of course.
And on the Raw side of things you could focus on the younger main eventers, pitting Orton Edge and Cena against eachother in a triple threat.
