You can only spill his ashes one time, man.

His entire career?

Damn that was a good promo but I wish they'd have given us more answers this week. No answer for Braun or Taker. And we also have the anxiety with the Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon diverticulitis issue... aye...

Probably the most character development we've seen from Cena since Cena vs Rock

Did Taker ever show up in person during the Bray feud prior to Mania?

If not, this Cena feud might already be the 2nd latest ever for a Taker appearance during his yearly Road to Mania.

I can't take this name seriously, though (insert comments about yourselves not being able to take "Rockstar Spud" seriously...). The problem I have with it is that is sounds like some alter ego for a C-rank superhero. That or an action hero protagonist for a very 80's action flick with lots of explosions and lots of ninjas.

I want taker to not even show up at Mania. Everyone expects it it'll be refreshing

He looks less like a pimp and more like a mook muscle for some mafia underboss. And Axel always looks like he just got finished going door to door with a small child clutching a stack of pamphlets asking if folks "believe in the coming of Jesus Christ?"

Quite the uneventful Raw. Not pumped for mania at all yet. Really hoping Reigns loses at Mania for a swerve, nothing else from Raw is exciting me

Cena should show up at his house tonight and AA Michelle through a coffee table in front of their kid

The undertaker character retired last year at Mania. But Mark Calloway? Nope. And I hope that’s the angle they shoot for

You want the announcer to call him Mark Calloway?

I see the good in your idea just wondering how far it goes.

If they brought WWE cameras, would it still be considered a "HOUSE SHOW"?

:wave:

Kane's new attire is so bad.

Kane should switch to trunks and kneepads

Trunks Kneepads Kane ONLY

He's looked shit ever since he took the mask off the first time. IN FACT, he's looked shit ever since he removed the sleeves while he was wearing the mask. They slowly but surely made an effort to ruin everything good and cool about Kane. Character had pretty much run its course in 2001. AND YET almost 20 years fucking later, here we are. And he literally looks like a fucking mongoloid with a an actual mop on his head.

Nah...

Then we'll know he's been moonlighting as Beer City Bruiser and I already don't want to see that.

Surfer Cena vs Bruiser Kane ONLY

Sorry. Had to type my thought really quick. The Deadman character is dead. But Undertaker as a person is alive. That’s the angle I am hoping they go. Like when Cena comes out next week, I want him to completely break kayfabe before he comes out. He did it a little bit that first promo. But call him a bitch. Tell him that Michelle holds his balls and wears the pants of the relationship. I don’t care. But I’ve been convinced since the announcement that Kid Rock is performing American Badass live at Mania for Taker to come out too

It's def gonna be Biker Taker.

Whoa I didn't know about this Kid Rock deal, interesting. Hopefully it's not full biker Taker just regular Taker coming to wrestle his last match.

Honestly, face biker taker stank to high heaves--a low point of his career, even when compared to feuding with mabel and giant gonzalez.

BUT, when he became Big Evil, he found his groove as biker taker.

And honestly, I don't want to see Deadman Taker after last year. He was retired. At least this way, it could make sense.

Has Cena addressed the fact that he's calling out a retired guy? Or is he just calling him a coward repeatedly?

He's never retired

Lebron: "Jordan you are a coward if you don't get on the court and face me now!"

No but then again doubt WWE realizes how dumb the storyline has gotten.

They probably wouldn't even let Taker address it since only the Miz in recent years got to have meaningful counter "shoots" to Cena's promos and character attacks.

They should do a Rocky V where Undertaker never fights Cena in the ring, but Cena picks a fight with him on the street and gets his ass kicked.

This is what I’m expecting. Or he grabs Cole off commentary. Then we get JR for the rest of the night.

Tbf, he usually loses at WM, it’s the booking the rest of the year that leaves his opponent no better off.

Usually, but not usually enough. Let's just go back 10 years. He lost to Randy Orton in the Triple Threat, but John Cena took the pin. He beat Orton the next year. He beat Sheamus the next year. He did lose to The Undertaker twice, but those matches were ego strokes of their own. Triple H has wrestled Taker more at Mania than anyone else. He beat Brock. He lost to Bryan, but the match happening at all was an ego stroke -- Bryan should have been in the main event. He beat Sting. He did lose to Roman, but he put himself in the main event of the biggest show they've ever done, and got to win another Royal Rumble. He lost to Seth, but look at their respective positions now.

Going back to 2008 he's at 4-6. In maybe 1 of those cases has someone beaten him and ended up higher on the card than him. Roman Reigns is probably the only one you can make that case for. 25 had Orton against Triple H (and losing) after 24, Taker wrestled Triple H again at 28, Triple H and Brock got higher placement at 29 than Taker/Punk, Bryan was opening at 31 and Rollins is in the mid-card title picture this year while Triple H wrestles Angle and Ronda.

Triple H also has the propensity for putting himself over talents that have been around for a while and are seen as legends. If this were Angle vs. Triple H one-on-one, my money would be on Triple H winning. In fact, I'm not entirely sure that Angle & Ronda are winning this year, to be honest. It seems like a foregone conclusion, but don't be surprised if they do that backwards stuff where they think they are helping Ronda by having her lose her first match. Angle might be there to eat the fall. Look at Survivor Series. Fucking this up is not beyond them.

A possible out they might take: Jason Jordan throws in the towel for his daddy when Triple H has him in a submission predicament. Jordan screws over Angle and Rousey -- look at what a heel we'll have when he comes back. Imagine the bragging rights we can give Stephanie and Triple H. If this becomes about the ego of Triple H and Steph, don't be surprised. Even if the faces win, it's still ego that they're even in this position.

But then what would Billy Gunn's long lost brother Tommy do for the final scene? :(
