Undertaker vs Triple H WrestleMania rematch planned for April 1 in Miami

I don’t want to see Taker’s streak end, and REALLY don’t want to see HHH be the guy to do it. HHH doesn’t need that win and Undertaker deserves to keep the record.

First off, I don’t think they’re going to end the streak. It took them 20 years to build, and I don’t think they’re not going to let it get to 20 years. 19 years is just as impressive as 20, realistically, but 20 is a nice, even number, and looks a lot better.

That said, I think I’m in the minority, but I thought the match they had at Wrestlemania was not very good. It was exciting because of a few false finishes, and a few spots here and there, but I thought it was pretty slow and boring overall. With everyone being a year older, especially the Undertaker, I’d imagine this second match will be weaker than the one last year. That doesn’t bode well, to me.

I don’t think Undertaker will retire for good before first fighting Cena at a future Wrestlemania. That seems like a no-brainer can’t-miss main event match. So I don’t think the streak will end before that eventual match.

But this is just another one of those problems that has arisen from the lack of main eventers in the company. Taker needs to fight a main event caliber opponent at each Wrestlemania, but WWE doesn’t really have many guys like that on the roster. Aside from Cena or HHH, which active roster member would be a worthy opponent for Taker?

Vince owes Taker big-time, and he might be the one guy in the locker room Trips would defer to.

Barring of course WWE pulling Sting out of its ass

The guy oughta (and I know that saying this about any aging wrestler is risky) have enough money that if he wanted to walk away he could walk away. He’s over enough that Vince would never totally cut him off, and he has enough juice that if he doesn’t want to break the streak to Trips, he could probably say no.

I do have to say that this “Taker only shows up once a year to keep the streak going” crap is pretty lame. I can get if he’s not gonna be full time, but there’s gotta be some sort of middle ground thing.

I think one thing they absolutely have to do in a Taker ‘Mania match is have the ref count Taker down for 3 after a huge finisher but have Taker’s foot on the rope at the same time. Announce the opponent won the match and play his music and the arena would go apeshit. Holy shit that would be insane. Then have a GM or whoever overturn the decision via replay and continue the match, and of course Taker eventually wins. I think my head would explode if Cena was announced as the winner over Taker, even if that victory just lasted for a few seconds.

Another tease they could have done, but never have, is have Taker win or defend the championship at ’Mania in a grueling match, only for the MITB guy to run down the aisle with his briefcase in hand looking to get a quick pin on an exhausted Taker. Imagine how much heel heat that guy would get on his way down to the ring?

Could Daniel Bryan be that guy this year? Ha, of course not.

as he is expected to take over the day to day operations of WWE after Wrestlemania. It will be career vs career and Taker will win. HHH will not be a full time wrestler ever again and he’s going out at Mania, which if anyone recalls, HHH was going to have his career ended at wrestlemania this year but they were smart enough to hold back on that. HHH cannot run the company and wrestle full time so this really is a non issue when you factor in the real life ramifications of this years wrestlemania. It is the final Wrestlemania with Vince running the show. The real changing of the guard.

Undertaker shouldn’t have ended Michaels’ career.. and Shawn shouldn’t have ended Flair’s.

And not to mention that this will be Undertaker v HHH 3 at Mania.. and why? Its not like its the rubber match. No one wants to see this again.. and what gimmick match will it be to help cover up the flaws? Personally, if Foley was in shape, it should be Foley v Taker & end Foley’s career that way. Just to get a pass to 20-0. I think Orton is the guy that should end his career… Maybe Punk.. but heel Punk. Not the guy we have today.

How many Mania matches are we going to have face v face? Are the heels even going to get any work or all of them going to be in the MITB.. oh wait.. they did away with that.

I don’t have a problem with them choosing this as the award, I remember during the match when HHH hit it that this might be the 1st time Taker would lose, thankfully that didn’t happen

I think he’d be a perfect opponent for ‘Taker, if it was done right (this is the WWE we’re talking about here)
Push him to the upper mid card, or better yet, into the title picture. The perfect scenario in my head is him in a triple threat match with Henry and whoever, he has the win sealed but walks out because he’s “too good” for that or something along those lines, and wants to be the one to break the streak. If they push him right he could definitely come off as a decent challenge to Taker.

He can push his “intelligent fighter” thing further, make it so he can feasibly beat the Dead Man at his own game, out psyche him. Then have him fight Taker to the absolute limit at Wrestlemania. Taker keeps his streak, Barrett gets elevated, they should be able to have a pretty decent match, everyone wins.

Wishful thinking
