How would you book Taker's retirement?

I agree he's under rated in the ring, but I don't see anything beyond that tbh.

Is all booking and giving him an opportunity. They saw greatness in him once and they seem to be decently high on him for his return. A year or two to establish himself as a top mid card face with a good gimmick and he is set if he is allowed to fly freely.

I did see that idea thrown around in a discussion somewhere else before I came here, DiBiase Jr. to retire Taker. It would be nice, if they were able to build him up well in the time they have I'd really like it.

Could you imagine if the person who took over for him completely failed though?

 

[Leo C]

Yes, people have talked about it. It's the big problem with some young guy going over Undertaker at WM, if he flopped, started jobbing, or even left for TNA it would look really bad. It's a risk.

Ted is nowhere near to being worthy of going over Undertaker. He has zero charisma, poor mic skills and isn't really believable as any sort of a threat to Taker. He could be the half decent low carder who can wrestle but that's as far as he will go IMO.

Besides, Undertaker's streak has to stay intact. I actually think it could damage the person who beats him due to crowd backlash.

Barrett to end the streak, he's young enough to give them a long career, a great heel, i doubt he'd leave, seems to not be overly injury prone and is very close to being the complete package. Who else is viable?

 

[Farooq]

David Otunga or CM Punk?

 

[Matt]

OTUNGA

 

[Rysenberg]

Agree with Seabs, if there is anyone who should do it it should be Barrett.

 

[Hermes]

Get a lot of people,And make them all beat him untill he had enough.:win:

lol @ Barrett ending the streak!

 

[seabs]

lol @ Barrett ending the streak!

Care to elaborate, what is he missing exactly?

I find him ok at best, plus I think Taker should always keep the streak intact, not just give it up to put another guy over (there's plenty of other ways to get people over than just using Taker's streak), especially someone I can easily see not being anything other than a generic heel for years to come. As already mentioned, people might not buy into it anyway and the guy who beats Taker might not pan out in the long run.
