Wouldn’t it be amazing if at Wrestlemania 27 Undertaker can give Barrett what he gave to Masked Kane & Orton?

IWC Question&Answer:
Which is a star making performance?
And yes, I’m asking this to at least give Wade a chance, because 95% IWC have been labeling this possible match to be a failure in the making. But let’s try to be fair here, although personally I don’t really like the possibility of this match happening either as I see Wade as just a rookie unworthy of following Batista, Edge, and Shawn Michaels compared to John Cena and Chris Jericho.
After surfing in the wrestling forums I have this urge to quickly ask a question about this matter, I finally realized what makes so many people hate Taker vs Wade, because the fact that picking Giant Gonzales, King Kong Bundy, Big Boss Man, A-Train, and Mark Henry over people like Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, The Rock, Stone Cold, Brock Lesnar, Mankind, and Kurt Angle for The Undertaker to face at Wrestlemania has been proven as a horrible decision and worthless investment because The Undertaker failed to make them a star. And many people fear the same would happen to Wade.
Of course, there’s two sides in everything: the bad and the good.
The bad is Wade fails to capitalize his push, making the decision of picking him over John Cena and Chris Jericho to have a match with The Undertaker at Wrestlemania 27 be a horrendous choice for the rest of his life, and ends up being released before the year even ends like Giant Gonzales or jobbing till the end of time like Mark Henry.
But the good thing is Wade capitalizes his feud and further makes a name for him to be a WWE legend, just like what Masked Kane and Randy Orton did with their push. As we knew it, not only their Wrestlemania match with The Undertaker remains one of the best (if not the best) performances in their respective career, it also elevated them to the main event level, although Orton used his push better IMO seeing how Kane became a jobber for almost a decade once The Attitude Era ended in 2001, even though he returned to the main event scene last year (good for him). And of course in order for this to happen, this match has to be a classic no one will ever forget….or at least not for a long time.
Kane’s match with Undertaker at Wrestlemania is quite commonly regarded not only as their best match together, but Kane’s finest match in his hall of famer career. I never get tired of watching that match. I mean Kane and Taker were so unbelievable. If u saw somebody else who used to get up like Kane that would be like “this is bullsh*t” but Kane was so unreal and believable. When he tombstoned Pete Rose the ovation was amazing. I think Kane only got down for like 10 times in the whole match. The storyline was amazing and their feud was also cool. Taker also executed a sick dive at the event. And the match, regardless of it being big man vs big man, had a lot back and forth action with two giants flying all over the arena. It took 3 tombstones to pin Kane and Kane did kick out after the third tombstone I guess the ref counted fast. Still a classic match, a legendary feud Added to the Legacy of WM 14 where Austin 3:16 carried the company. And quite possibly, this match is a contender for the best giant vs giant match ever.
And the match with Orton at Wrestlemania 21 as well. Although some can argue Orton became a star when he faced Foley at Backlash 2004 and Benoit at Summerslam 2004, I think we can all agree that this match is what made him a main event stay even today, because even after facing Foley and Benoit, Orton still got kicked out from Evolution and went mid-carding until after Royal Rumble 2005. It happened during the peak of his Legend Killer days and it was the first time The Streak became a focal point of Wrestlemania (which lasted until now), propelling it’s credibility to the sky just like the match rocketed Orton’s status from upper mid-carder to permanent main eventer, living a career as one of WWE’s biggest names in the modern era of wrestling. And the fact that this feud was voted as 2005 WWE Feud of The Year didn’t hurt either. And while this may sound arrogant coming from me, I can definitely say his Wrestlemania match with Undertaker remains his best Wrestlemania match until today and also one of the most magnificent performances in his career, which I’m sure will last even until he retires.
Of course in order to make this push a success, this match should be at least as good as Undertaker vs Diesel or Undertaker vs Ric Flair (two ridiculously underrated gems for unknown reason). This much standard is difficult for Wade, but still possible.
Granted, Taker could cast his magic to Wade and gave him a legend making performance like he did to Batista at Wrestlemania 23, where he made Tista looked better than even HHH and owned the show as the best match of the year. Wow, I’d mark out like crazy if Wade vs Taker becomes as good as or close to Batista vs Undertaker. Man, who could argue that was Batista’s

That would be epic.
Lets take Barret out for a few weeks.
