DISCUSSION - When is it 'acceptable' for a veteran to put over an up-and-coming wrestler?

The only one of these outcomes that didn't make sense was Wyatt/Taker. I was actually all for Taker winning as long as they somehow managed to make Wyatt come off as scary/superhuman in the process. They failed miserably. Especially that part where Taker sat up during the spider walk and Wyatt looked like he shit his pants. The opposite could have worked just as well in the moment and Wyatt could have at least taken the fact that he even even Taker was freaked out a little by him. The match was all about making Taker seem "back" at the expense of Wyatt and that was the ridiculous move. Despite his awesome promos, how long can you buy into it when the guy proves so often that he's all bark and no bite?
