Punk was a great selection because of his safe style... it preserved the Undertaker in such a way he was willing to work a match with the Shield (whom he is very high on)

Physical workers like Brock, Triple H and Ryback put a grind on Undertaker's health so it would really have to be worth it for him... I see no payoff with a Brock feud, particularly with the deadman incarnaation... ABA Taker is a different feud altogether


If its $ you want, do Brock.... otherwise pick the most deserving guy... guys like Cesaro (who needs better build... starting now), Ziggler, Ambrose or Bray Wyatt... guys who deserve that kind of rub whether they win or not

I like Ryback and all, but there's no way he's at the caliber to get the coveted Mania match with Taker.

I like Ryback and all, especially bully Ryback, but he is not at the level where he should be the guy facing Undertaker, and to be honest, by the time he gets there Taker may already be retired.

Ryback is good as a comedy character (intentional or not) but he's just lame as a serious "monster", I can't get into him unless he's doing silly backstage promos and/or making hilarious autistic faces. No way in hell should this even be considered.

The match would be huge for Ryback's career, even with him losing the match... but there is far more money in either John Cena or Brock Lesnar. To make the big 30th Wrestlemania the biggest draw possible, he needs to be put with one of those guys. IMO, because his time is very limited, he should only face the big names at Wrestlemania at this point (to make his match feel as epic as possible) UNLESS he's gonna lose, which he isn't.

That to me is a.discrace , Undertaker is at the point to where only the best that hasnt faced him before at wm should do it. I think hes last few matches should be with cena,rock,brock,sting or d-bry! Maybe a shield member with proper build up!

I say hell no. Ryback is not at that level yet, and may never be.

Im sure its the goal of many guys to get in the ring with Taker at any WM. There is a loooong list of guys who just didn't make the grade.

Ryback is a shit wrestler, Shit talker and has little charisma. There is no way this would be a good match, Not even Taker can carry him.

Totally agree with Lockard. There's only a few more years left of Taker so you may as well make them count... and, um, Ryback... I'm sorry, but you're not exactly what we're looking for as a challenger. But it's okay, there's an Axxess match with your name on it!

Want nothing to do with Brock/Taker, love JC's idea of Bray Wyatt going against the Deadman but there's no way they can build him up in time (I'd argue that Bray hasn't been disproven yet, but w/e)... Isn't Cena/Taker a dream match at this point?

Also a good point on Taker's body being a mess. No way you want Ryback's reckless ass anywhere near him.

I would like Ambrose to face him, Nice brawling match, The storytelling and build would be fantastic imo.

I wouldn't pick Ryback. He's been booked into looking too bad these days, wish they'd build Wyatt up for it.
