Yeah, it's too bad that Orton hadn't beaten HHH instead; they could've passed off Cena as not really winning, but not losing either, since he wasn't pinned. That easily could've been done if Cena was a heel.

LoL, yeah I remember when the talk was that Edge would build a streak of his own to rival Undertaker at some point, and then beat him. I mean talk amongst other fans, not inside WWF/WWE.

If HBK has indeed wrestled his last match (meaning no HHH/HBK), I could see HHH taking one more crack at the streak next year as he did 10 years prior. That'd be a great match I'm sure.

Taker would probably win, and that could set up Taker vs. Cena at WM 28 with 20-0 on the line.

Mind, I don't think Taker will be wrestling too much until January the next couple of years. He can still go but he's obviously really banged up at this point.

There should be some sort of heel GM obsessed with ending Taker's streak and puts him in a triple threat match, handicap match or 50 man gauntlet match at Wrestlemania.

After two incredibly built matches with HBK, it's going to be to find an opponent that people can actually buy beating Taker at Wrestlemania. I honestly think Cena is the only person that can pull it off (the match, not beating Taker). I'd like to see Undertaker go 20-0 and then retire, but I'd want his last match to be against Cena, just because that's the "biggest" match-up left for Undertaker.

Dunno who to put in against him next year then. Probably Jericho or maybe even Batista, for a Wrestlemania 23 rematch or Randy Orton for a Mania 21 rematch. It'd be cool to see him against a younger guy, but I just think it would be hard to buy into that coming off of HBK/Taker for two years.

You know how there is always talk that Sting will leave TNA when his contract expires, and that the WWE will snatch him up for the Hall of Fame? That usually leads to talk of The Undertaker vs. Sting at WrestleMania. To see that match take place next year would be pretty epic. Taker wins that, and then goes 19-0 heading into WrestleMania 28 against John Cena.

And I am still of the opinion that Taker should drop the streak off to someone. Even if he does it to Kane, and they use that to give Kane just a year or two of epic dominance before he himself retires. Hell, let Vince McMahon end it if you have to. The streak makes no money by standing unbroken.

I think the best case scenario is that Cena ends it (as much as we all love to hate him, this would take Cena to a level no one else has been on), or that The Undertaker finds a young guy on the roster that he is a fan of and wants to groom. Taker then puts that guy over at WrestleMania, and then there's a lot of pressure on that kid to really deliver as the new Phenom of the WWE.

Noid, I agree 100%

Edge/Taker was a damn good match. Just watched it again and I think it was better than his match with Triple H at Wrestlemania 17, which puts it at #3 for me for Taker Mania matches after the back-to-back ones with Shawn.

I remember being shocked that match closed WrestleMania. It didn't seem to get the main focus heading into Mania, and there was a lot of criticism from both inside the company and out about Jonathan Coachman's commentary. But I do remember really enjoying the match, and I think this may have been the moment where talk shifted from The Undertaker "being able to have great matches when he needs to" to "he's looking the best he's ever looked."

I mean, the landmarks for Taker's career recently, in my opinion, have been against Kurt Angle at No Way Out that year he faced him; against Edge at WrestleMania; and his matches against Shawn Michaels.

Just a random thought about who could end Taker's streak. I've said this before, and it's such a smarky thing to say, but I do have my reasons: Shelton Benjamin. Last year around WrestleMania (I think a few were before and one was after), The Undertaker worked a few matches with Shelton Benjamin. All were competitive, great showings for both men. Taker won every match (as expected), but given his stature in the company, I don't think Taker would go out there with a dodge knee and face anyone. My theory is that The Undertaker loves working with Shelton Benjamin.

Maybe The Undertaker would consider dropping the streak to him? It would seem so weird, given that Shelton is not a major star or anything -- but one thing about Shelton is that he is a wrestler. He's not the sort of guy who will leave the WWE to go do movies or whatever. Shelton is in the business because (I assume) he loves wrestling, and it's one thing he does really well.

Just a suggestion. Hell, Shelton may never win a World Title even if he were to break the streak -- but it'd be a defining career moment for anybody, and it would put him on that level where he would be a credible guy to challenge whenever the WWE wanted it. As a story, they could just have Benjamin cut a promo about how he is sick of being in Ladder Matches and trying to grab the brass ring. He's going higher this year, and he wants to do what he does best -- wrestle. He then sets out to wrestle The Undertaker's streak away from him.

That is a dirty word in the WWE these days -- but they can call it whatever they want. Just have Benjamin change his goal from "winning Money in the Bank...finally" to "doing something bigger."

Did anyone realize as soon as WWE figured out that Edge was like 6 or 7 and 0 at wrestlemania they had taker smash on him? They didn't plan it, it just kinda happened. When they realized they capitalized on it.

Sometimes wrestling fans don't know how to leave well enough alone. They want to see Sting in the WWF, they want to see Undertaker lose. People realize that when everything happens, nothing has value. 2001 is the perfect example of this. Having wrestlers jump ship meant something, then overnight every single WCW came to the WWF, and suddenly the surprise element of wrestling was completely gone. What's the point of watching every week if you know that every single possible feud is eventually going to happen anyway?

The WM25 is the superior match imho i'd even rank their 2nd encounter as maybe the 3rd on my list. Anywho i'd say it's been in the works for Taker to go 20-0 for a long time now so his last 2 will have to be against 2 other guys whom have had formidable records of their own. With that said I believe next year it's Cena and then maybe Ted DiBiase since his father was the one responsible from bringing him into the company.

So the WWE should just not even bother breaking the streak because they might mess it up? That's ridiculous. The Undertaker's WrestleMania streak is more valuable than any title right now and has the ability to create a star. It would put someone over huge. Why waste almost 2 decades of build-up? Where is the value in the Undertaker retiring with the streak? Who does that benefit?

It would be an absolute waste not to have someone break the streak. And it shouldn't be someone that's already made - like Cena or Orton or something like that.

The user "The Franchise" said it wouldn't benefit anyone to break the streak but that couldn't be further from the truth.

Exactly!

I remember watching the Undertaker debut back at Survivor Series '90 and now watch him thinking to myself that he's a strong reliable wrestler who can either choose to go over certain wrestlers or put over certain wrestlers. I mean CM Punk opened his mouth last year during their European leg of the WWE tour and then all of a sudden he lost and Undertaker is champion. I highly doubt it was because creative was creating a storyline for the Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels match at Wrestlemania 26. Though, who knows. Could be.

The streak is something that I don't ever see the WWE duplicating because it will take a lot of planning on creative to establish that I just don't think it can be done.

Like HTrain said, with 3 programs a week and a pay per view every month, I don't see the streak ever being duplicated.

I mean, is it not just luck that the Taker has won every Wrestlemania match before the WWE ever mentioned the streak?

Also, I don't really count his match against the Giant Gonzalaz as a win because it was short, lame and a disqualification by Gonzalaz.

The Undertaker's streak is the reason (kayfabe) why HBK is gone.

Retiring with titles (or in this case the streak) isn't good for wrestling. The goal is to create new stars. That involves risks (such as risking the fact that it might not work). I don't see how having 3-4 shows a week is relevant to this argument at all. Having Undertaker retire with the streak does nothing for anybody except Undertaker himself.

Fully agree, but who on the WWE roster deserves it?

I remember last year reading a lot of rumors about how Cena or Jericho might end the Undertakers streak and I think that's a poor choice on the WWE to have someone big to end his streak.

If the streak is broken it will be one of those passing the torch match.

How about Ted Dibiase Jr. in a couple of years? Obviously, he is too low on the card right now. But it would make sense considering it was Ted Dibiase Sr. that brought Undertaker to WWE.

Wasn't that one of the names that came up to end his streak for Wrestlemania26? I think he's a good contender. I like Ted Dibiase Jr. He has major potential. It's too bad Cody Rhodes is holding him down.

its fuckin unbelievable.. im kinda surprised he was never booked to lose in his first couple manias, and i doubt vince or creative were like "we're gonna have this guy win every mania he's at" so he's kinda lucky he was booked to win at first... then atfter he probly won 5 of his mania matches they started booking him for the streak....

also i feel like if hbk wasnt the one to break the streak last year, let alone this year, than it should never EVER be broken... right now there is nobody worthy of it, and there is def. no way anybody can come close to that streak anyway..

is there even anyone right now who has won everytime at mania and has a little streak goin???

The Miz is 1-0. You'd know that if you watched RAW the night after WM26.

If they do decide to break it you know it's going to be Cena or Edge or some body else who really doesn't need it.

I agree with whoever said it'll probably end at 20-0 and be one of those untouchable records.

Taker can put over people without having someone break the streak. I say let him keep it until he retires. There isn't anyone I could possibly see that can live up to it.

And I don't get the argument of "The Streak won't do the business any good unless it's broken". The Streak has been drawing interest in WWE's biggest show of the year for about 6 years now, and has been a main event draw for the past 4. Just because someone doesn't defeat Taker, doesn't mean that they didn't further their career by having a program with him for WrestleMania.

That's not what I said. I said it wouldn't benefit any main-eventer to break the streak. It would benefit a young star but no one is really good enough right now. Maybe in a couple years DiBease or Miz or someone might be but I doubt it.
