For some odd reason, I could see it happening...
...I mean, so much has been made of Undertaker's streak, and so many people feel he will never lose it, that for a lot of fans, it's almost a forgone conclusion that Undertaker will win any match he has at WrestleMania, no matter who it's against, thereby taking away the "surprise" factor from his matches... ...so, no better way to do away with that, than to have Undertaker lose. Would it REALLY take away from his legacy to be 18-1, rather than 19-0? Not really. So I could see it happening. |

I doubt it will happen but I think Taker will 'offer up' his streak to a young guy who can make something of it in a year or two's time.
Maybe Miz or JoMo. Either of those two and I'd be happy to see the streak broken. Nobody makes a gain by HHH breaking the streak aside from HHH who has said recently that he's retiring soon? |

I don't see it happening. There are a few reasons why:
1: Having someone break the streak really seems like a silly thing. Because it is taken for granted that Taker will win, having him lose would be unlikely to create the greatest mark out moment, and more likely to create a 'wtf' moment. And not in a particularly good way. Granted a scenario could be built in which Taker losing would be a genuine mark out moment - say him facing a younger star, who has his own streak going (and not just a 1-0 streak). That would require a few years of getting someone built up to it - and with Taker I doubt there's enough years left. 2: Having HHH win it would just be stupid. First off, he doesn't need it at all. Not only is he over decently, he is as close to in bed with his boss as he can get. There's just no reason for giving it up to HHH. 3: It would leave a gap for next Mania - where Taker will prolly still fight - that couldn't be filled with "Will the Undertaker remain (almost) undefeated at Wrestlemania - or can John Cena break the Deadmans streak?". There's not really much prestige in defeating Taker 2. at Mania - it would make Cena the Buzz Aldrin of the WWE. (And I'm not saying that Cena is gonna defeat Taker next year. He's not... well prolly not...) Summing up the above: No - HHH wont win. To answer the question actually asked by the OP: I would initially be like - WTF! *facepalm* - then I would go here and read post after post about how HHH is a self-serving asshole and how Taker was prolly threatened into giving his streak up for HHH. After that I would just continue to think that it was a stupid move. |

It wouldn't bother me much, but it wouldn't make much sense when "The Streak" could be used to propel one of those guys on the cusp to that next level.

I agree. Yeah, a young lion can get the rub, but at the same time, it can be one of those nigh-unreachable streaks that solidifies the Deadman as legendary like the "HONK-A-METER". Quote:
The streak is about as important as those Royal Rumble statistics: not really, but still fun. Goldberg's streak would be less BS if it weren't swollen by house show wins, local enhancement talent, and repeated victores over the laundry list of WorldWide jobbers (Glacier, Smiley, DisQo, Silver King, all of nWo Black & White...) |

That depended on what Saturday it was you were watching. Much like Glacier. Or pre-Filthy Animals Konnan. They'll get a win one week against another mid-carder, then job out to "Joe Nobody-We'll-Push". That gives the unknown guy enough clout to lose to another enhancement talent. And that guy loses to another. Etc. The only people I remember virtually unscathed were Jericho and La Parka... maybe Vampiro to an extent.

They can't have someone like Triple H end the streak.
I don't believe Triple H is 'that' selfish at this stage in his career. He's a smart guy and he will know that whoever ends the Undertakers streak must benefit from it big time. Not just short term but it should make a guy. Something as monumental as breaking Takers streak can't be given to just anyone it must be someone special who can use it as a foundation on which to build or re-build a career. Defeating the Undertaker on the grandest stage of them all would spring board someone to main event level this really can't be downplayed because in the eyes of the wrestling world the streak is one of the most historic achievements in the business and rightfully so. You could even use the moment as a way to pass the torch much like Hogan passed the torch to Warrior at Wrestlemania 6. Just some wild scenarios but if they ever brought back Muhammed Hassan for the long term it would be an amazing way to give him the ultimate revenge on Taker. Or more realistically they could give it to someone like Punk, Swagger,The Miz, perhaps even John Morrisson someone who will become the future of the WWE. Personally I quite like the idea of someone gaining revenge on Taker taking the streak. I feel it has to end at some point otherwise you lose the ability to springboard someone to main event level and beyond in one match, that's a very rare opportunity these days. |

Honestly what I would like to see would be for HBK to be the special referee, and at some point in the match he delivers Sweet Chin Music to Taker who then gets Pedigreed by Triple H. Then HBK counts the 3 and Triple H wins. They celebrate, with HBK having gotten a little bit of pay back on Taker. Maybe even bring out Nash for the celebration. Then have the anonymous GM or Teddy Long come out and restart the match with a new, impartial ref. Then have Taker beat Triple H. That way the streak is safe, but we still get a huge shocking moment that makes Taker look beatable at WrestleMania, which would then lead to next year with everyone talking about how the streak almost came to an end and asking if this will be the year it is broken once and for all. I just want to see it because I am tired of Undertaker matches at Mania being a "sure thing," and I would get a kick out of seeing the dumbfounded look on everyone's face in the crowd, but by the close of the show the streak would still be safe so that someone more deserving could break it.
I doubt this will happen, but I would book it. |

Like everyone else had said. It shouldn't happen..
Undertaker has earned the right to keep this streak. But if HHH was to win this and end the streak. I'd be all like yeah well he only won this because he's banging the bosses's daughter..... |

Just like it takes away from every angle, that we know Cena will eventually win it - yes even the angles he's not involved in!

I would be ok with just about any one else doing it. This reminds me of back in WCW when Nash booked himself to end Goldbergs streak. Just shows how selfishness and a position of authority comes together. If Triple H wasn't banging the bosses daughter and had absolutely no pull in the company, I prolly wouldn't have that much of an issue with this.

A lot of what I was going to say has been said already so I'll keep it short.
I don't think Triple H will end the streak. I'm not really looking forward to the match at this moment. (Afterall, it was only officially announced two days ago) I don't think the streak should end. Ever. And I get the feeling Undertaker's last WrestleMania is next year, so he can go out with a rounded 20-0 record. |

That would be the best way to celebrate his legacy, I agree. 26 years in the business (started in WCCW in '84), only to lose at the biggest event of the year and then retire? No way.

I hope he does just to stop threads about the streak every year AND the sheer hatred HHH would get when people assume that HHH made him.

He shouldn't end it for the simple reason that Taker should be able to head into WM 28 with 20-0 at stake. Win or lose, WM 28 should be his final Mania.
