As opposed to Kane ending the streak as I am, Batista ending it makes no more sense. Batista is nearly 40 and common sense says that he only has a few good years left in the business. He is not a long term company-carrier. If they are going to have Batista end it, it may as well have been Kane who got the big win. |

So who is left? Batista. I see why he's going to be facing him. Sadly, Batista lacks just about everything needed to make the match huge in the run-up. No charisma, no ability on the mic, and I doubt he can even portray being 'afraid'. For Taker to face Cena would probably end up better than against Batista. Cena would be booed off the face of the planet at the event, and he could use it as a platform to turn heel. He could return to his 'bad' side in an attempt to be good enough to beat the Deadman. Either way, Taker should win. Taker's streak should mean as much as a title match to a lot of the card. If he's still around next year, I'd like to see a couple of guys go after the oppotunity to face him. Had Orton not faced him last year, it would have been excellent to see a Rated RKO split based around that oppotunity. |

This year's WrestleMania is MAKE IT OR BREAK IT for The Undertaker's streak.

That would be quite the shitfest match, but you have a point with what you are setting up. I wouldn't stretch it out over two or three years of wrestling though. 1) Taker beats Cena at this years WM and wins the belt. 2) Defends title vs. Hogan at this years Summerslam. 3) Drops title to Edge shortly afterwards 4) Taker wins next years rumble and announces he is going after WWE Champion Edge at 'Mania. Edge tries to get out of facing him and has the match made into a Title vs. Career Buried Alive match with both of their streaks on the line as well. 5) Edge goes over at next years Mania after a memorable and symbolic spot of putting Taker in the ground. Its like 5 steps to success..... ![]() |

I wouldn't have Undertaker win the Royal Rumble AGAIN next year. I'm still getting over the fact he won it this year. Okay, put him in the main event against Edge for the WWE title, but let somebody else win the Rumble.
And not Doug Basham. |

Has to be Edge to end the streak if anyone. Then anyone can beat Edge to end his streak as it is more believable than beating Taker.

Edge should, but he won't. We're looking at a situtation where the most likely person to do it, if anyone, is either Cena or Batista.
That's the problem with the manufactured star. I've heard everyone from RVD, to JR, to Triple H talk about it in shoots. Guys like Cena and Orton get these nods, and Lashley and Lesnars. But they're still learning to wrestle and their rise is too soon. A guy like Edge has risen up and is ready to go, but he doesn't get the nod. Edge should snap the streak if anyone, and Edge should be winning the title and royal rumbles. But we see these situations and honors bestowed upon guys who've only been wrestling for a couple years. |

I have no problem with cena ending the streak, but why can't Taker just come back next year at WM as a one off and put someone over when they have more wrestlers ready to take the spot? Keep the streak alive for this year, I really can't name anyone that deserving other than Edge, and that's not going to happen.

I just thought of the perfect way to finish Undertaker's streak. It doesn't matter who beats him, but for the sake of argument let's say Orton. Orton vs. Taker. Taker is just DOMINATING him when suddenly, every wrestler who he beat at Mania, in succession, who is still alive and able to, comes down and beats on Taker. Jake Roberts, Triple H, Bundy, Nash, Sid etc. They each hit their finisher but even they can't do it. Finally, Kane's music hits and he just plants him with five Tombstones and Orton wins.
So it took every wrestler (still living/able) who lost to him to end the streak. Granted, Orton (or whoever beats him) doesn't get as much credit as he should, but it would still go down as a win and at least a rub. |

I think just Kane coming down and costing him it would be enough in that scenario.

Yeah, but it doesn't send home the fact that it took x amount of men to finally beat him.

Nash would tear his quad on the way down. Sid would break his leg. Jake Roberts would have a relapse.
