^^ That's bogus to say Hogan, Angle and Rock did more to make Lesnar than Taker, they laid down once, Taker like twice and put Lesnar over HUGE in a HIAC, with a broken hand. Had he not wanted to make Brock, he could have half assed that match and had a legitimate reason to have done so, instead he put on the best match of Brock's career to that point.That match cemented Brock as the top dude on SD! MONTHS before Angle would even touch the guy. So I really don't understand what Angle did to make Brock besides having a great Iron Man match with him when he was already established.
Taker played a huge role in making Orton. Orton was over, indeed, but Evolution put him on the map, they didn't make him, if anything they killed his momentum with Trips squashing him for the WHC, then he floundered for a bit. Foley was his best "Legend Killer" feud, but he was still viewed as a mid card threat at best. His feud with Taker finally got him to that upper-mid card status they wanted to get him a year before. Taker did alot there. And Cena???!! Taker was the cat who put Orton in the position to be a threat to Cena.

I don't think you know what you're talking about. Did you see Kane's entrance into the WWF in 97? People were legit scared of this guy, not just because he was squashing fucks left and right, but because of how Taker was bowing out to him at every turn. It was the fear that Taker showed to him that really made him a legit threat, as Taker had never showed any sort of fear.
Taker should stick around as long as his body allows him, he's someone the WWE won't be able to replace and it would be a huge loss if he left. With that said, I only think Taker has 2 years max left in him, if thats true, I only hope his retirement match is as good as both his Mania matches with HBK
Rofl. He didn't MOLD any of those stars. Lesnar was already 'molded' and got the ultimate put over and send off from the one of the greatest stars of all time. Orton? Are you serious? No one has hurt Orton's more career more than Undertaker except possibly Hogan. Cena, he gave somewhat of a rub, didn't 'mold' him though, basically AirFixx already covered it. How exactly did he do anything for Kane except bury him further down the card each time he lost to him? Sure, in his debut he had some good momentum, but that was for a good nice few months. You know last time Kane was relevant? Oh, when he was jobbing to Undertaker at Wrestlemania. After that he fell into complete obscurity to what we see now, JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER OPPONENT UNDERTAKER FACES AT WRESTLEMANIA WHO ISN'T ALREADY IN THE MAIN EVENT/HOLDING THE TITLE (aside from the obvious Triple H and Shawn Michaels).
My thoughts exactly. Kennedy was actually looking fucking GREAT vs. Taker. No 'broken hand' bullshit or anything involved to protect him. Btw, Undertaker did fine to not like completely unstoppable back in the ABA days. It was only after he returned in 2004 that he's been a piece of shit that hasn't done anything for anyone and is by far the most protected and unstoppable force in the WWE. He's not as annoying as Cena because he's not around as much.
