Taker's Next

[CSL]

It's a MUCH better business move at this point to use one of his last appearances to make another younger guy big. Someone like Orton gains NOTHING by fighting Taker at Mania again. Someone like Jericho gains nothing by fighting Taker at Mania. For someone like Zeke or Ryan, it's a huge step up, and instantly builds their credibility. It may not result in the best match, but it's smart booking.

Triple H vs. The Undertaker was the definition of an epic professional wrestling match. It was the professional wrestling equivalent of a Hollywood summer blockbuster with a $300m budget.
