I was also disheartened when i saw that taker had lost a lot of the muscle tone he had.

However, I think that's a result due to his surgeries since WM 27, and I'm guessing he probably made some lifestyle changes since then, and heeding a saying from one of the posters on here of "taker(ing) it easy."

I'd guess that if he got back into his routine, he could get at least some of it back by SSeries or w.e hes set to return.

He had new gloves on too. Caused a wardrobe malfunction. Couldn't get his jacket off at the start of the match. The camera actually cut away from him so people at home wouldn't see it.

To be fair, those jackets can be quite tricky.

Yeah, you got to remember, he has been wrestling for nearly 30 years (it will be 30 in 2014), so it's normal that the wear and tear is going to show.

He will be the Raw Legend that Heath Slater inevitably beats to start his 7 year undefeated streak.

By submission?

Guitar shot, he's a one man baaaaand bebe.

That does make more sense.

I saw it.

It's the Undertaker's new super-shredder gimmick.

If we assume in the OP (as trollish as it seems) that The Rock is the WWE champion going into Wrestlemania, which is a possibility, why would he face The Undertaker? The match would be great. No doubt, it'd make some people happy. You have The Undertaker and this "streak," which has demonstrated a shelf life, and The Rock, one of the most popular guys ever.

Problem is, one of them has to lose. If The Rock loses, he passes the title to... The Undertaker? Doesn't make sense. If Taker loses, I think people are just going to scratch their heads while they watch the Rock celebrate with the WWE title after ending the streak. The Rock would have beaten the game and you'd see credits on the Titan Tron.

Not to be rude, it just doesn't make much sense to me, especially when you consider what the WWE has invested in The Rock since his return. He practically bulldozed Miz and R-Truth (who had a good deal of steam at the time) on his way to John Cena, then beat him too, no problem. I think the WWE has different plans for The Rock.

He may become WWE champion as previously speculated, but if he loses it at Wrestlemania, it will probably be to someone else, whom the WWE feels is their next big flag bearer for the future. I believe the WWE's reasons for wanting The Rock to get the strap, if they even do, wouldn't really need much explanation, for obvious reasons. However, one of the obvious things that really sticks out is the media exposure that would come with such a big movie star "making his big return" and winning the championship. It'd put a big focus on the WWE championship meaning something.

But, for that matter, The Rock might not be in line to get the title at all. They might simply need an open-ended reason, like him wanting a title shot, to explain why they're slapping him up against an opponent they haven't even decided on yet for the Royal Rumble.

Anyway, short version, I'm not exactly sure how The Rock will be handled come Wrestlemania, but I'm fairly sure he isn't going to be having a match with the Undertaker for the WWE title.

I really think the WWE has no idea what they're even doing at this point so I'm not going to pretend like I do.

I know Mark Callaway is a legitimate badass and all, and is definitely considered a stud to be married to K2, but his face looked like an aging David Bowie due to the makeup. I would like him better with the makeup-less biker look for his face while maintaining his Druid robes so that he looks like an ancient warlock, which would totally be aligned with his overall gimmick.

I believe it could pass in PG WWE because it's not far off from Harry Potter. Taker could even Tombstone Voldemort as part of an HP film crossover promotion. :shifty:

Undertaker Vs Kane.

If you don't think that intense stare down between them at RAW1000 meant this is inevitable then you are smoking way better chronic than I am.

I wouldn't be surprised if the E did nothing in regards to ending that unfinished business feud between kane and taker from i think it was late 2010.

I understand why they went with the possibly 1 time reuniting of the B.O.D, but I was disappointed that taker didn't take out kane at the end of that squash segment for what happened way back when.

:nono:

I couldn't agree more. He's just not the same Undertaker, grow it out!

I've been thinking for a good while that he also ought to let his hair grow in white. That would look seriously kickass with this whole setup.

Undertaker should come out and say that he is tired of being an undertaker and is making a career change. He is now DJ at a titty bar and he changes his character accordingly.

:rofl:

Wait, why is he hanging out with McCool then? She has no tits...

Undertaker will be in a triple threat match vs Kane and Big Show and Kane will pin big show and undertakers streak will end w/out ever being pinned. Then he'll say one more match and will lose to Ryback.

Cena ain't fighting Rock at WM for the title. Damn man. Think this thing through!

The only way I'd get into another Rock/Cena feud is if Rock is heel.

We had a "heel Rock" in 2003, but we haven't had a "heel WWE Champion Rock" in a long ass time.

As Smackdown GM

Yeah, I'm not sure what intentions are with regard to his current visual style, but it definitely leans toward that direction; I half-expected him to start handing out bizarre potions as he made his way to the ring.


I agree, with that lazy mohawk it just looks as though someone pranked him while he was drunk.

All of that aside, I'm not sure he should come back.
He looked really sallow and skinny (for him anyway) on RAW, and I could tell he was gassed midway through the match. Not only that, but his movements and punches, etc. just seemed to lack the energy they used to have.

It could be that he was just going through the motions because it was only RAW and not a big PPV, but in my opinion it was not a good showing.

Imagine the heel heat someone could get from cheating to end the streak.... Heath Slater is that man baaaaaaaaby

John Cena vs Undertaker is the best choice for WrestleMania, although maybe Taker will veto that to keep up his streak of great Mania matches from the past few years...

I agree with Rock Bottom that there is not much gained from Rock vs Undertaker, but the same could be said of HBK and HHH's matches with Taker too. The main thing gained would, of course, be money.

Undertaker has much bigger mainstream appeal than C.M. Punk, Daniel Bryan, Sheamus, Kane and pretty much any other opponent you could visualize being the one to end his streak.

And that's assuming that his streak will ever end.

I say Taker vs. Ryback, streak vs. streak. Very likely this isn't gonna happen, and if those bastards have any regard for my respect, they would NOT NOT NOT have the streak end with Cena winning. They are better off letting Taker keep something he can hold to his name.

HOLY FUCK I'VE FOUND SHEAMUS
