Can the streak be inherited?

There's nothing wrong with retiring undefeated at WM.

I know, I'd personally love to see that, but you said it'd be over and it'll be if he loses but if he doesn't it won't die because it'd be a part of the history

Which is why connecting it to someone else wouldn't make sense cause they could never live up to it.

Yeah, sounds like a good idea. It'd be interesting.

The Undertaker's streak is so iconic and unique that any offshoot of it would be an obvious, pathetic attempt to piggyback off of his success. As I said, if they want to start a new streak that doesn't have anything to do with the Undertaker then it would have a much better chance to succeed. Being constantly compared to one of the greatest wrestlers/accomplishments ever is a no win situation for whomever would be burdened with it.

It depends on how it was worked. I like my Goldberg idea, though it's entirely fantasy booking (but the mere thread title encouraged that.) In another situation, the person who defeated Undertaker wouldn't have to remain undefeated for just as long or longer than Taker. It could be someone who had two or three wins before defeating Taker (just as a rough starting point), and then afterwards, they go on to have maybe five or six more wins after the big victory, which puts them around 10-0 or something when someone else finally defeats them. Hell, they could have as many wins as someone like Edge had (8-0) when he lost his streak, but the fact that one of those wins was ending Undertaker's streak would maximize their streak's legitimacy big time.

This could work. It wouldn't have to be someone who kept winning match after match after match for the next twenty years or something.

Perhaps in the future when the Undertaker has been all but forgotten. I realize everything gets recycled, but in this case it shouldn't for a long while.
