Will Undertaker get a bigger retirement than Flair?
 

Does he deserve a bigger retirement than Flair? Will he get one? What would YOU do?

Yeah, both Taker and Michaels do for never jumping ship once they got to the WWF. McMahon owes them big time.

Agreed. Michaels' send-off this year I'm sure will be just as emotional as Flair's was the night after Mania XXIV on RAW. And 'Taker deserves no less than a huge send-off for putting 20 years of his life into WWE itself.

When The Undertaker retires, the wrestling world will have truly lost the most irreplaceable figure they've ever had.

How do you top Flair though? They already built Flair up to be the best ever and neither man has the 16 World Championships. Maybe it's just a question of being the best of a certain era. I wonder how they'll get around Taker's kayfabe issues. I don't want to see a bunch of lightning bolts coming down and having him ascending the sky or something.

Someone (or many people) have brought up the idea of him being "summoned home" by Paul Bearer with the urn, disappearing into smoke or something like that. I think that would be cool.

Or do you mean his "RAW send off" where people come out and thank him?

Either one. They've killed him so many times that you always expect him to come back and if he's actually retiring I would want something that is relevant to the character but also befitting of the man.

I think one of the two WILL retire holding either the WWE Championship or the World Heavyweight Championship.

This. Not to mention going undefeated at Wrestlemania against all top tier opponents could really be made out to rival multiple championship reigns. Maybe not as many as Flair, but still. Taker is home grown and has been the most loyal guy they've ever had. Give the devil his due.

Ehhh, I want to agree with you but:

Well, I suppose not from a smark standpoint, YOU PIECE OF SHIT.

haha.

I wonder if he will RETIRE..IN...PEACE

I know who will get a bigger retirement than Ric Flair:

Goddamit Steele, that's not fucking funny any more. :mad:

he's right though

Did you actually click the spoiler tag damninator? Seriously?

HHH is truly above everyone else when it comes to honour, integrity, and passion towards the business. A class act all around...

Didn't he wrestle A-Train once too?

He deserves it more and it will mean more but sometimes in life you don't get what you deserve.

I'd like to see him get jumped by a bunch of foes that he thought he had vanquished in the past. Could you imagine a stable consisting of Giant Gonzalez, King King Bundy, "The Supreme Fighting Machine" Kama, Ted DiBiase's Undertaker, Muhammad Hassan, etc. coming back and just decimating The Deadman?

I think Ric Flair is proof that nobody ever 'retires'.

Terry Funk is the original proof of that.

no

:lol:

Undertaker/Nathan Jones v A-Train/Big Show, WM 19

Beautiful match.

Easily Top 5 all-time.

Yes mostly for never leaving the company or being unable to wrestle during the Attitude Era and for being one of the very few people Vince gave backstage power to control any problems.

In a way if it wasn't for the fact of Vince listening to Undertaker and not HBK during a pre-Wrestlemania meeting, Stone Cold probably doesn't win the title the way he did at Wrestlemania 14 and help jump start the Attitude Era.

The Nathan Jones roundhouse kick in the aisle was a masterpiece, Leonardo Da Vinci couldn't have created anything of equal value

Plus he literally married the business.

On an unrelated note, is Giant Gonzalez still alive?

Indeed he is.

interesting, he seemed like someone who should be be dead now

According to his wiki, he's in a wheelchair these days.

that's sad, poor guy

I'd actually quite like to see Leonardo Da Vinci execute a roundhouse kick.

Do you have details on this story? Sounds good.
