I don't see the point of continuing to trot the Undertaker out there for just one match every year unless you are planning to give the rub to someone for ending The Streak. I think if anyone is hot enough right now and still early enough in his career to benefit from the win it would be Daniel Bryan. Anyone else I think is a slap in the face to wrestling fans, and cheapens The Streak. Especially if it were to be Batista or Brock.

Thing is, just losing to Taker at Mania is a big rub. Punk jobbing to Taker at Mania did more for him last year than anything else he did in 2013. Say Roman Reigns or Bray Wyatt or some other young guy were put in a feud with Taker, even when they inevitably lose the match it still would have helped boost their career in a big way.
Yeah, I won't argue with that. My thing is how much does he have left? One or two more big matches like that?
My biggest concern is him dropping The Streak to someone who doesn't even plan to wrestle beyond 2014. Call me old fashioned, but I firmly believe a guy should go out on his back. The Taker has been given an incredible honor in his career by having The Streak. I think he should pay it forward by passing on something to the next generation. I won't be mad if he doesn't. But I believe it will help the business going forward if he gives the rub to someone like Bryan. Giving it to a heel just won't feel like as big of an honor to me.

Bryan is over, but I still can't picture him as a guy to end the streak. I say push Reigns in 2014 (they obviously are) and if he catches fire let him end the streak as a babyface at WM 31
The Undertaker can do one match a year for awhile 
Idk when it will get stale but he's only like 48, so long as he doesn't have any further major damage to his body he'll be good for a few more WMs

I remember typing out Roman Reigns vs. The Undertaker for my BTB a while back. Imma try to find it.

If the WWE are unable to sign Sting then it should be Daniel Bryan, unless he's in the title picture at that time in which case in should be John Cena.

Brock Lesnar. What an awesome match it would be to see Undertaker survive a complete war against a beast like Brock, and plus, there's plenty of history between them already to make the build interesting. But with Lesnar going after the world championship, it doesn't seem likely (unless they somehow have Lesnar not be granted his title shot, or even worse, job him out in the chamber and then have him compensate for it by targeting the streak instead.)
If Brock ends up going after the title, then Daniel Bryan is a good alternative, although I absolutely would not want him to actually beat the streak. (A guy that size, no matter how popular, should not be ending the immortal Wrestlemania streak after Taker has already endured multiple finishers, sledgehammer shots, chair shots, etc., and still got up from it.)
