Really don't see the logic in 'Taker losing the streak, it's his selling point for Wrestlemania and there is nobody who is going to be there long term that would deserve the heat for ending the streak. And the whole idea that Undertaker is at the end of his career and should lose to pass the torch doesn't make it right, he could defend the streak against Hornswoggle and it'd get buys, he's got a year between matches to decide if he's capable/motivated enough to have another.

Streak vs. Streak is the most important match that could happen in WWE though really. At the most important and biggest event of the year. I just don't see what they gain from Rock-CenaII for the belt that they can't gain from Streak vs. Streak. Obviously no one really agrees, and I know it's not gonna happen. I just think Streak vs. Streak is bigger than Cena vs. Rock WWE Title on the line. WrestleMania should be about big matches and making stars and building up stories for the new year. The card I made makes a whole lot of stars and let's a whole lot of talent shine. This could easily be the year to start making talent that can possibly be as big as Stone Cold or The Rock. If CM Punk is champion for 500 days and ends the streak? That won't make him huge? Or if Undertaker wins, and ends Punks reign of terror that won't be huge? Only to get trainwrecked at the next PPV by Lesnar, And Taker sits out until the next Mania. It's not really asking that much of him to wrestle two matches that people WANT to see. Over Cena-Rock II for the belt that nobody really wants. Why doesn't Cena-Rock II sell itself without the title?

I don't think Punk ending the streak would make him any bigger, he doesn't need it. He won something like 2 matches on PPV in 2011 and never lost any heat, he's a multiple worlds champ, he has the longest reign in 20 years etc., him ending the streak would be a waste.

Just having a guy feud with 'Taker at wrestlemania is a big enough rub if they're treated as a threat in the build. I'm honestly more shocked they haven't turned it into a yearly angle, guys competing for the right to challenge the streak.

Well, the last 4 years have been "built-in" feuds with lots of ready-made hype. I think the year of WM25, HBK did win a match to fight the Undertaker. Jericho/HBK/etc. all wanted to fight him.

It's essentially a title match, it's promoted as one almost, why not make use of it on tv and give a few guys an angle for 3 or 4 weeks, bit late now of course.

Those guys are gonna be Rock and Cena. I'd rather see Streak vs. Streak or something else with the title than Rock and Cena.

I'm the voice of the WWE Universe and Rock Vs Cena for the title sells more ppv's than Taker vs Punk. End of discussion. The Universe has spoken.

I remember seeing Punk vs Cabana open for an IWF show in Dearborn at the probable terrorist center Al-Matta hall in 2002. Never thought for a moment Punk would have made it as far as he did. He was a decent heel back then playing up his straightedge lifestyle. I remember thinking back then if he was only bigger he'd be a big time player. I thought Yukon Braxton would have made it but he died. However, I don't think Punk/Taker wouldn't be a good Rasslemania match. Undertaker would be way better off fighting Brock for mainstream appeal. Punk should rassle Daniel Bryan in a loser shaves their beard match.

HBK was better than HHH. Nobody has claimed he is. Shawn Michaels is the greatest wrestler of all time.

He hadn't officially announced as much though. Also, he was a mutli-time WWE Champion before he even started the storyline with Stephanie let alone actually started dating her.

Gertner proposes an interesting question. If Val Venis had got in with the boss and got HHH's push, would we see a different outcome in the fandom? Would Jimmy Steele masturbate to Val Venis while Noid bitched about how awful he was and how the title should be put on the under-appreciated Triple H?

James Steele, you don't have to defend HHH to anyone with a semblance of appreciaton for wrestling history.

I think that's a perfect match, but what would make it even better is having the match for the WWE championship, give Taker one last run with it. Ratings would improve as well

I don't think Taker's body could stand that. He's an old guy and I don't think he has any desire to rassle more than once a year.

I doubt Undertaker wants a run as Champion, him winning the belt does absolutely nothing for his career, his legacy is already set. He's not around anyway, so there's no point in even thinking that's possible.
That being said, I have no idea who Undertaker will wrestle at WM. I can't see him wrestling Triple H, I mean, I don't think they'd do it three WM's in a row. Unless a miracle happens and we see Taker vs HHH vs HBK in a three-way match, I don't see it happening. I could see Taker going at it with Punk. I could see Taker going at it with Ryback. I could see Taker going at it with Lesnar. However, in my book, the "money match" would be Taker vs Cena. But I doubt we'll see it. |

A couple of things: one, too many old guys coming back. They need to push new stars. and two, I take it this Gertner fellow is not a fan of CM Punk?

How would people feel about Taker beating Punk for the Title (and retaining The Streak), posing for the crowd, then disappearing, leaving the title in the ring. Retiring as champ would be a great "sign of respect" to a guy that has stuck by the WWE for so many years.
You could even have Punk grab the belt afterwards and leave in possession of the belt. Have him be in denial ov his loss or something. Then tournament to crown a new champion. Love a good tournament. |
