Does the Undertaker Owe the Warrior One?

Was thinking about this the other day; not sure if it's been covered before, but the Undertaker may have reason to kiss Jim Helwig's ass at least once. Clearly his Wrestlemania undefeated streak is more valuable to Taker than the title runs or specific feuds that he's had over the years. No, go back to Wrestlemania 8. It's Taker's 2nd Wrestlemania, and he defeats Jake Roberts. But, we know that after Warrior held Vince up and was given the boot, Taker was Warrior's replacement opponent for Roberts, and this was presumably responsible for Taker's face turn. The question being, were there plans to pair Taker with someone else in the run-up to Wrestlemania 8? Vince has clearly been high on the Undertaker since day one, so it's likely that he would have gone over a different opponent just the same, but surely things could have been different. Am I missing any essential info on this? Any thoughts from anyone?
