Taker randomly picking someone wouldn't make sense either. That's where some writing comes into play. He's had these intense builds the past few years now at WrestleMania. They've set a standard. Punk wants to end the streak. What's Taker's motivation? A guy wins a fatal fourway and Taker's like "Hi! That time on the month! Just gonna wrassle a match!" Like STD said, it was like a lame, lazy video game storyline.
Punk coming out when Taker appears on old school Raw and complaining about Taker being just a worse version of The Rock, only appearing on the big shows, saying he wants to end the streak, degrading Taker and getting under his skin enough to get Taker to agree to the match. Would have been simple but at least there would have been some heat behind the feud.
