No bashing please. And if you do bashing anyone or anything around here, u’ll be reported. U can take that to the bank, ladies and gentlemen.
This here below is my own personal list of Top 10 Undertaker’s Wrestlemania match. I’ll also give my POV but no worries it won’t affect your chance to get BA even if your opinion is different from mine….as long as your opinion is reasonable on my account. And relax, I’m a pretty reasonable guy.
Usually, most people agree with my list (although some don’t, but it’s rare). Either way let’s use this as the model and here goes:
1. Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels (Wrestlemania XXV)
2. Undertaker vs Edge (Wrestlemania XXIV)
3. Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels (Wrestlemania XXVI)
4. Undertaker vs Batista (Wrestlemania 23)
5. Undertaker vs Triple H (Wrestlemania X-7)
6. Undertaker vs Kane (Wrestlemania XIV)
7. Undertaker vs Diesel (Wrestlemania 12)
8. Undertaker vs Ric Flair (Wrestlemania X-8)
9. Undertaker vs Randy Orton (Wrestlemania 21)
10. Undertaker vs Sycho Sid (Wrestlemania 13)
What do u think? Where will it rank and why?
My POV:
For a start, I think we can agree there’s no way in effing hell Taker vs Wade would even begin to touch the top 5, seeing how Taker won’t be totally fit for the match and Wade has zero ability to carry someone to a legendary match. And yes, I’m saying Taker’s match with Wade won’t be as good as his match with Batista. Because before Batista had a WM match with Taker he had a series of great matches with legit main eventers in the form of HHH, JBL, great tag matches with Rey against Kane and Big Show, and Booker T. And he was damn over the crowd, and he wasn’t as talentless as IWC”s made him up to be. He was at his PEAK of his main event run and he was more experienced (no matter how much IWC would hate this fact) than Barrett, seeing how Wade basically stuck with dull matches against either Orton or Cena. So no, I believe Taker vs Wade won’t even lick the top 5.
On to bottom 5, a legendary match with Kane at WM 14. This has one of the, if not, finest storyline and most memorable build up of all time. Combine that with Kane’s and Taker’s astronomical chemistry at their first outings, and there u go. Not taking anything away from Wade, but I don’t think he can top this one either. After all, Wade is known for his mic skills not his wrestling skills. The fact that he is yet to put a legendary match despite constantly facing Randy Orton and John Cena, two of the biggest names in PG Era WWE, is an undisputed proof of this statement.
The next is two overlooked gems with Diesel and Ric Flair. His match with Diesel is one of the finest example how The Undertaker carried someone with so-so wrestling talent to an underrated classic. Watch the match if u don’t believe me. Too bad he couldn’t have done the same with Giant Gonzales, King Kong Bundy, Big Boss Man, A-Train, and Mark Henry. But maybe that’s also due the fact Nash was over as Diesel after a year long world title reign and no one could deny at the time he faced Taker, he was perhaps the finest monster heel in WWE.
And Taker had a wild under-appreciated brawl with Flair…a bloody one, too. Add the fact that Flair could actually move and wrestle around 2002, and he was over with the fans, and he had this legendary in-ring psychology Wade definitely lacks, not to mention his ability to sell any kind of move. So basically, the match was of guaranteed quality.
Sorry, but me thinks Taker vs Wade won’t touch any of these two either.
That leaves us with Randy Orton and Sid. Taker’s match with Sid was kinda his match with Diesel, but to a very lesser extent. Then again, Sid was built up strongly in the main event scene for years as an unstoppable monster heel equaled only by Diesel, not to mention winning a couple world titles on his run. And his match with Orton is on the list not only because it was Orton’s best Wrestlemania match to date, but also the match which rocketed the credibility of The Streak to the seventh lovely heaven.
Regardless, I can tell Taker vs Wade won’t touch any of the top 8, but has the possibility to either best Taker vs Orton or Taker vs Sid. Dunno which, tho. Of course the match can also be worse than either of those two.
So, thoughts?
Flow, I don’t get why so many people hate Taker vs Sid. It contained good back and forth action with two big men flying all over the arena.
Did we even see this kind of action in Orton vs Triple H?
Answer by Evenflow DDT – The Raven Effect
honestly i dont rate Wade Barrett as a wrestler at all. So the match fo rme, especially as Taker wont be 100%, will suck. On top of that Barrett isn’t a genuine threat at all. I guess you could say that maybe Barrett can have a breakout match here but honestly i dont see it. This match will not rank high and the only reason it could make your top ten is cause Sid sucks.
