To me that's the same thing only 7 years earlier. Warrior was the fresher star by far and a new commodity

It may as well have happened though, since Warrior ultimately went nowhere after that because of his bullshit, and within a matter of months Hogan was right back where he was going into that match.
By Wrestlemania 7 he was the top guy by a mile again. He basically passed the torch and got it back before anyone even knew it happened. |

It's semantics. What I'm saying is that Cena is an established star here to the point that he does not need anything of this caliber as a face, and the way they'd end the streak (and make it work) would likely be totally unacceptable.

That's because I honestly think it'd be more of a curse than a gift to someone who isn't very established though. I don't think anyone needs it. That's why it's better left intact, but I'd rather see it go to a peer than a rookie. |

And I'm not saying Cena is a peer to The Undertaker as a performer or anything, just to clarify. Just in terms of other things. They're both top guys

Even someone as awesome and relatively established as Punk snapping the streak would be dangerous, I think.
He's great, but he'd probably stop being CM Punk and start being "that guy who broke Undertaker's streak" almost overnight, in the eyes of people who don't watch the product weekly and future generations. |

I agree on the Punk assessment. I just don't see anyone who, in the long run, could use it. Either they're to the point where it'd get lost in the shuffle (Hunter, Cena), not on the level of being a threat to Taker (Orton, Kane, Jericho) or too risky (Punk, Orton [injury prone], laundry list of other guys).
To me, there's no one really worthy of ending it in WWE right now and very, VERY few who could POSSIBLY step up within two years to that level. |

Well then we're in overall agreement, because I don't think anyone in the current scene or forseeable future should snap it. Even if there was I'd probably rather them not. We just differ on what we think should happen IF it happens, which hopefully doesn't have to come up beyond our hypothetical |

This thread seems awful familiay I agree that Jericho should face Taker at WM28 and then face Cena at WM29 or vice versa is fine too but Cena has the better record afterall.

Im regards to Kane facing Undertaker, to be honest I really wouldn't care about this as I really don't care about Kane anymore, UNLESS, they can do this in a realistic, worked-shoot kinda way. I dunno, have Kane be all like:
"My whole career, I've been a second-rate Undertaker clone, whilst Mark has always gone and got all the glory, I've been stuck with this lame 'burned brother' gimmick!" I dunno, I just don't care about Kane anymore, and he's jobbed to so many people, the idea of him beating Undertaker is a joke, unless they introduce this more realistic approach to it. |

Jericho & Punk would be insanely entertaining but we all know that ain't happening... Jericho a close possible 2nd... I think it will inevitably be Cena/Taker to end the Deadman's career... Do I think Taker will lose... After the great build up of this past years WM... Who knows if it stays intact... |

Hopefully the writers are this logical when trying to answer this question themselves. I would think maybe a triple threat match next year since he won't have to do so much work and still look good at WM. He might not even make it to 20-0.
This would be a good chance for John Morrison to get a good feud under his belt and take Taker to the limit like Orton did. That pairing seems odd after typing it down... Last edited by ImpactPlayer365; 05-28-2010 at 03:55 AM. Reason: Punctuation |

I know they've already had one feud, but Taker vs. CM Punk at Mania would be so easy to book, and you're almost guaranteed to get a good one out of it. Plus, this current incarnation of Punk has evolved quite a bit from the one that the Undertaker faced in their previous encounter.

Currently, the only people I can see worth putting against Taker at Mania are CM Punk, Edge, Orton, Jericho, Batista and Triple H. And those are essentially all rehashes save for Punk and Jericho. Also you have to think that at this stage of his career, the Undertaker will want the best matches possible for him at Mania; anyone suggesting that he face a midcard guy like Dibiase/Kingston/Morrison isn't thinking straight. Problem is, all the current options for the Undertaker are been there/done that.
It'll either be Taker vs. Jericho, Taker vs. Punk, or maybe he'll be involved in some sort of gimmick match (Triple Threat/Fatal Four Way). Also fuck John Cena. That is all. |

jericho wil be a ryt choice..
but i rather choose john cena.. it a better way to make cena a heal.. besides! cena is victorious in wrestlemania since on his debut at WXX except W24.. i would love to see that match on W27 vs taker streak.. maybe they can do it a submission match.. since cena never quit! and no one in history that make undertkaer tap out! hir are some matches that i want to see at WM27.. undertaker vs john cena submission match (or vs goldberg undeafed and mania vs undefeated in single matches) HHH vs HBK (i would love to see HBK back at WM vs on his buddy HHH) |

I feel like the best way to establish a mania threat against Taker, is have the guy who's gonna face him at mania, go over him, strong and clean a few months before and play off that big time.

Even later in his career, Cena tapped to the Ankle Lock on numerous occasions i'm pretty sure.

I would put Taker in a handicap matchagainst several of his past Mania opponents, and have them organize it as "We couldnt beat them alone so we will beat him together!"

While we're thinking of terrible ideas, maybe some famous celebrity could "piss off" Taker and they could have it out at Mania!

![]() I pretty much agree that not many people are a credible threat to ending the streak anymore. That said, with the Hall of Fame rumours about Goldberg there's always that incredibly slight chance they could throw that one at us next year. They would obviously need Goldberg to come back and squash the midcard during the build up so newer fans know who he is, which would do nothing for anybody in the long run. I wouldn't like to see it personally, but both guys are famous for their streaks so it would make sense in theory. If I had to pick anyone I would say Jericho. |
