Question by The Clown Prince of Crime

Don’t give me Batista at Wrestlemania 23. Batista was never as bad as IWC made him out to be. If his matches with Kane, Triple H, Big Show, Booker T, John Cena, and JBL were entertaining of course his match with Undertaker would be entertaining. Undertaker is better than all his opponents I mentioned, anyway.

And I ask this solely cause the fear of seeing Undertaker vs Sheamus at Wrestlemania 27. The Undertaker’s knee are too banged up to carry someone completely talentless to a half-decent match. Even when his knees were still good, he still failed to do the deed. Not his fault of course, but you can always ask King Kong Bundy, A-Train, and Mark Henry since Giant Gonzales and Big Boss Man are six feet under at the moment.

In case anyone doesn’t know:

There goes Vince’s wet dream and most IWC’s dream.

Again and again, I say this match should have happened years ago at either Wrestlemania 19 or 20 when Lesnar was actually around. That’s better than seeing Undertaker facing Big Show & A-Train at WM 19 or Unmasked Kane at WM 20. Vince McMahon really knew to screw up chances when he actually had one.

The blow must have felt bitter when your plan fell flat on your face eh, Vinnie?

In all honesty, if they grow some balls and book Taker vs Cena already they won’t have to meet this problem. And the ticket sales are looking more pathetic than WM 26 too…

I knew it probably wouldn’t happen, because Lesnar would be too busy with MMA to even attempt to return to a wrestling ring for one night, especially at WM.

Question by The Clown Prince of Crime

Let’s face it, Taker vs Cena will never happen at any Wrestlemania in this lifetime. Vince has made it clear he and the board directors don’t want Cena to receive heel reaction and lose his credibility by losing a match at Wrestlemania (which will happen if he ever goes against Taker). Seeing how this Wrestlemania 27 has been shaping to be horrible since last year but WWE still refused to book Cena vs Taker (just like they booked HHH vs Taker somehow), I think it’s pretty much a given that we will never see Undertaker vs John Cena at any Wrestlemania in this lifetime.

And I don’t understand this IWC delusion that The Undertaker will definitely retire after going 20-0. Mark Calaway himself said last year he’s not retiring in the near future. Even Jr mentioned Taker is able to go until WM 30.

There will be no retirement whatsoever next year at WM 28 expect for Edge. And I’m dying to see Undertaker vs Jericho at Wrestlemania as I don’t want to see yet another rematch at The Streak against, say, Orton or Big Show.
@Alberto Del Rio:

Well, altho u may say so Taker never had a Wrestlemania match with Hogan, Bret, Mankind, Angle, Rock, Austin, and Lesnar for the sake of doing Vince a favor and pushed Gonzales, Bundy, Boss Man, A-Train, and Henry to the main event scene (which ironically, always ended up in oblivion not main event scene). And I think we can agree matches like Taker vs Mankind or Taker vs Rock was too big not too happen at Wrestlemania.

Fact: Those matches didn’t happen at Wrestlemania despite being a guaranteed one for the ages.

Well maybe Vince said no Cena vs Undertaker but Triple H will own the WWE soon

Question by The Clown Prince of Crime

I’m sorry, I heard this from several high profiled users in this section and some other sites so I feel the need to ask. I realized IWC will always cherish any new talent possible, especially the heel ones.

The question is, who in their right mind would believe Undertaker vs Sheamus would be the right follow up of Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels? I’m not trying to offend anyone, but I don’t think Undertaker vs Sheamus would get ‘This is awesome!’ from the crowd or make the crowds stood from start to finish. And by all means, be it status wise or ability wise, Sheamus is nowhere near Shawn Michaels. Not in this lifetime, or the next.

Not to mention, I think we all knew who’s going to win the match. Because if HHH’s best buddy for life couldn’t end The Streak twice, I don’t think his mere workout buddy would.

The Streak lacks big names and credibility thanks to the six nobodies (Giant Gonzales, King Kong Bundy, Big Boss Man, Big Show, A-Train, and Mark Henry), I don’t think we need another no namers to be included on it. The least of all, although the match may not be able to follow Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels TWICE, big name like Jericho would give a bigger credibility.
See? LP23 believe Sheamus vs Undertaker could follow Shawn Michaels vs Undertaker TWICE!

By the time Taker won the match, IWC will accuse him of not putting over Sheamus.
True LP23, The Undertaker has carried so many talents before, but he succeeded on carrying them all?

Undertaker vs Giant Gonzales at WM IX was The Undertaker’s worst match ever.

Undertaker vs King Kong Bundy at WM XI was one of the worst booked matches ever.

Undertaker vs Big Boss Man at WM XV was the worst Hell In A Cell Match ever.

Undertaker vs Big Show & A-Train at WM XIX was one of the worst booked matches ever.

Undertaker vs Mark Henry at WM XXII was the worst casket match ever.

See? No guarantee at all, dude.

And for Red, I have stated Sheamus lacks the ‘big name’ factor.
@Red: Bigger than Jericho?

@LP23: That still counts as failure, 300 pounds or not. Those matches I mentioned are still the living proof of Taker not being able to carry some guys into great matches.
@sharpshooter: I agree with what you’re trying to say. I admit Sheamus got the talent, but what I hate from the possible matchup is he doesn’t have the ‘big name’ factor like I stated.

And more, if Taker does defeat Sheamus, The Undertaker hating bandwagon in IWC will rise again and start cursing Taker for not putting someone over (again). U know, just like what happened after he defeated Punk last year.
@Red: No, but I did.
@Red: OK, if u want it I’ll clarify it for u why I said ‘bigger than Jericho’.

At this point, The Streak isn’t only about the quality of the match, but also the name inside it.

Giant Gonzales over Hulk Hogan, King Kong Bundy over Bret Hart, Big Boss Man over Mankind, Big Show & A-Train over Eddie Guerrero & Rey Mysterio, and Mark Henry over Kurt Angle or Chris Benoit.

I think we all knew Hogan, Bret, Mankind, Eddie, Rey, Benoit, or Angle will ALWAYS be the bigger legends than the six nobodies. But Taker never got the chance to fight them at WM because Vince has always been crazy of giants. Sheamus is the same, at this point his name isn’t bigger than Jericho. Jericho IS a big name, Sheamus’ name isn’t as big as his. And there’s no guarantee Sheamus’ name will ever be as big as his.

Simply put, I want a ‘legit’ big name than a ‘possible’ ones. A-Train was released 6 months after his WM match with Taker, who said Sheamus won’t suffer the same fate as Kennedy?
(Continuation from above):

Or who can guarantee Sheamus will not suffer the same fate as A-Train?

If the honor goes to Sheamus, the another legit big name (Jericho) would miss his chance to be included on The Streak.

It’s not only about the quality, but also the name. Legit ones are always more credible than the possible ones. Not every wrestler is Randy Orton, u know?
@sharpshooter: Eh, I don’t think Jericho would refuse to be a part of The Streak. Before Shawn Michaels wanting to retire, he original plan for WM 26 was for Jericho to face Taker, remember?

BTW, Gonzales, Bundy, and Boss Man are still a waste, whether they go out peacefully or not. The same can be said about Big Show & Mark Henry.
@Red: You want names, here I’ll give you some:

1. Christian (see their match on youtube at RAW on 2001, a damn great match!)

2. Swagger (see their match at RAW last month? Better booking means we could see a greater match. Same as Sheamus, his name isn’t as big as other legit ones, but since we knew how well he worked with Taker so why not? Legit ones over possible ones, dude)

3. Danielson (HBK’s protege. And we all knew how well Taker would work with technical wrestlers. See Summerslam 1997, No Way Out 2006, Wrestlemania XXIV, Wrestlemania XXV, and Wrestlemania XXVI for fruther information).

4. Rey Mysterio (see Royal Rumble 2010. And remember? Legit big name over possible big name).
@sharpshooter: Fast powerhouses? Maybe u might want to watch Diesel vs Taker at WM 12 or Sid vs Taker at WM 13 as well, those 2 matches are really underrated it’s not even funny.

And I catch your drift. The only think I’m inclined to disagree is ‘the big name’ factor. I will always prefer legit ones over possible ones.

And about the variety on The Streak, I think The Streak has enough variety. From legends, youngsters, veterans, to nobodies, The Streak got them all. Let’s add more ‘legends’ to it, no?
@Red: I stated it clear enough on number 2.

Didn’t you believe Sheamus name will be bigger in one year? Why couldn’t Swagger be the same?
@sharpshooter: Wow, this conversation is really tiring yet amusing (^^).

Yeah, we can’t see the future. I can’t deny that, we’re no fortune tellers. That’s why the ‘legit ones’ are better than the ‘possible ones’. You’re right, maybe no one can change my mind for the time being, but I’m pretty open for things.

I don’t hate Sheamus by all means. I admit he’s talented and I don’t mind Taker feuding with him, but just not at Wrestlemania. There was one hit (Orton) alright, but there was also five misses (the six nobodies). I don’t want to see Taker taking the risk and slot for another victim only to see the sixth miss.

I mean, why can’t we have Taker vs legends at WM but Taker vs Sheamus at somewhere else? Look at Mankind, Lesnar, and Kennedy. Taker never faced any of them at WM (and never will) yet look how far he pushed them.

If anything, I’m all for Sheamus vs Taker at Survivor Series or Summerslam. But definitely not at WM.

Legit ones over the possible ones.

Best answer:

Answer by |Y|onkers |R|oyal |V|iper
Undertaker/Sheamus? Eww, Hell no.

I would like to see Undertaker/HHH next year. I feel that Taker’s last few WM Matches should be really high profile and have the potential to follow up both HBK/Takers.

I don’t think Sheamus should be added to the list because it’s too obvious and too early.

Question by The Clown Prince of Crime

I think by now the whole IWC has learned Undertaker personally handpicked Wade Barrett to face him at Wrestlemania 27:

http://www.wrestlezone.com/news/article/injured-wwe-star-backstage-at-smackdown-this-week-120977

From Batista, Edge, and Shawn Michaels (twice) to Wade Barrett…..as of now I can’t decide whether this is foolishness or kindness on Mr. Calaway’s side. Sometimes, I really can’t understand how his mind works -_-

Either way, when the time comes, I think I can respect his choice.

But personally, what three things u expect from the match if the match happens? Name only three and tell a detailed why for each. Best expectations will win 10 points.

My personal hope:

1. 19-0 (obvious)
2. The match can be a Wrestlemania classic, at the very least on the level of Taker vs Diesel (WM 12) or Taker vs Flair (WM 18). Better if it can reach the level of Taker vs HHH (WM 17) or Taker vs Batista (WM 23). Any lower than that then Y/A will never hear the end of it from me.
3. Wade Barrett uses his push like Randy Orton did at 2005, which means winning multiple world titles, winning Royal Rumble once, winning a Feud of The Year award once, main eventing Wrestlemania, and becoming one of the biggest names in his generation all in the span of the next 5 years. I’d curse him till the day he retires if he dares to use his push like Kane did (spending 2/3 of his career jobbing) or like Mark Henry did in 2006 (admitting he didn’t care about his push cause he only did it for money and went lower mid-carding till the day he retires)….or worse, like Giant Gonzales did in 1993 (quitting the company before the year even ended).

Question by The Clown Prince of Crime

This is the current theme song, which is lame but love by a bunch of blind weirdos:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VX6tYF88EVI

These entrances below are his entrances from Wrestlemania 14, 20, and 23:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUR_YxaESUc

If Taker had used that theme song in the very first place, would those 3 of his most memorable Wrestlemania entrances of his be as phenomenal? Or it’s about time WWE, Mark Callaway, and whoever likes the current theme admit there’s no way Ain’t No Grave is going to hold a candle to RIP and change it back to RIP come Wrestlemania 27 before we see Undertaker’s worst Wrestlemania entrance ever?

Unlike most IWC who believe Taker/HHH will suck or be decent at best, I believe Taker & HHH will school the whole roster come Wrestlemania 27. This match has been incredibly hurt by the zero build up and no hype from WWE, do we really need another downfall in the form of an incredibly uninspiring entrance from one of the performers?

Question by The Clown Prince of Crime

WARNING, LONG READ AHEAD!!!

In a recent interview, although he doesn’t know if he is fit and whether or not he’s a top priority for The Streak (he implied there would be 5 potential match ups and he’s one of them), Mick Foley has admitted he would like to be considered to face The Undertaker at Wrestlemania 28 next year, presumably following the promise Vince McMahon had given to him that if he returned to WWE this year (which he already did), he’d not only be granted a position backstage but also one last huge retirement match at Wrestlemania 28 next year. And if Wrestlemania 26 is any indication, a retirement match can’t be any bigger and better than a Wrestlemania match against The Undertaker like Shawn Michaels had experienced.

But as u guys might have known it, Vince also considered a Wrestlemania rematch against Mark Henry after concluding Henry’s recent run is the best run in his career and he might be the fittest man to give The Undertaker the biggest victory of his career in Undertaker’s fourth Wrestlemania rematch (after Kane, HBK, and HHH).

Needless to say, this consideration has been met with horrid reaction not only from IWC but also backstage in WWE themselves, from fellow wrestlers and officials alike, believing it would practically be a joke if after defeating Batista, Edge, Shawn Michaels twice, and Triple H the second time, The Undertaker’s 20th Wrestlemania victory, which is supposed to be the biggest victory in his career (and some may speculate even the last) would be against Mark Henry (which IMO, not only far less credible than Foley, but also historically less significant with Taker than Foley).

It has been concluded that the biggest reason why so many people object to this potential rematch is the fact that the last time Taker & Henry met at Wrestlemania 22, the result of the bout is often cited to be the worst Casket match ever held in the history of the company, which is why a rematch will definitely not attract good things. And not to mention the last time Undertaker & Henry worked together at Unforgiven 2007 after months of build up, the result ended in one of the worst PPV main events in the last decade.

Now, from Foley’s perspective, I think by saying there would be 5 match ups for The Streak match at WM 28, originally there would be 4 other people than him to face Taker at WM 28. And I assume those 4 people would be Cena, Orton, HHH, and Jericho. But as we know it, Cena will face The Rock.

And with how things go by, Triple H vs CM Punk at Wrestlemania 28 seems likelier and likelier as days go by. Some even speculated HHH will somehow cost Punk the title and claim it for himself, leading to Punk winning Royal Rumble 2012 and challenge HHH at WM 28 for the WWE title (almost similar to Edge/Taker feud in 2007 & 2008, resulting in their WM 24 match).

Chris Jericho has stated he’s not going to return to WWE in the near future, so fat chance in there.

And since Orton’s current role in SD! is practically the same with Cena’s in RAW, I think it would really be hard to imagine him not being in a WHC match at WM 28, more than likely against Daniel Bryan for an obvious reason.

On a side not, Rey Mysterio will probably face Sin Cara & Big Show is being planned to face Shaq in a celebrity match.

And that leaves Mark Henry & Mick Foley to go against Taker at WM 28. I’d personally pick Foley. Yes, he is not fit but WM 28 is 7 months away, he can get ready. Add to it he’s one of Taker’s 3 fiercest opponents (the other two being Kane & HBK) yet to face Taker at Mania. And the rest of the reason why I favor Foley has been said by other people above. And some matches, regardless of the quality, just have to happen at WM for the sake of history (e.g: Shane/Vince at WM 17, Hogan/Vince at WM 19, Goldberg/Lesnar at WM 20, Bret/Vince at WM 26, and Cole/Lawler at WM 27). Not to mention Taker’s biggest victory in his career can’t be any bigger than a victory against a longtime rival he hasn’t defeated at WM before, but I also can’t fathom who’d be the perfect last opponent for Foley than a man who by feuding with him, made both men legends.

If it were u, who u’d be u’r pick and why?

Of course, this is if the match does happen. Although, I’m sure IWC will abhor Undertaker even more for defeating Sheamus cause there’s no way Sheamus will win against Undertaker at Wrestlemania.

BTW, the example of Undertaker’s:

Epic Fail = Undertaker vs Mark Henry (Wrestlemania 22. In case u don’t know, Henry gave Vince a blow job for a chance to join the victim list)

Surprising Classic = Undertaker vs Batista (Wrestlemania 23. Come on, who would have thought Taker could carry Boretista and stole the show?)
