Honestly haven't cared for any of Taker's matches, bar the last one with Shawn, for years. I say pull the trigger & let him lose.

Nope. Not that I desire for it to happen, but Punk is the best candidate on the roster currently to do it. And part of me feels the streak ending is too big of a moment to pass up.

If Punk wins, at least we can be certain that there's zero chance Cena beats the streak next year. I'd absolutely love the heat that a Cena/Undertaker match would have because of people thinking Cena of all people could defeat Taker, but I'm not sure it's worth it given the probability of it happening. Never forget how much of a streak killer Cena is - ending JBL's long title reign, Muhammad Hassan/Great Khali/Umaga's undefeated streaks (not counting a DQ loss in Umaga's case), etc.

I thought WM30 was a perfect place to retire because of it being the 30th anniversary but instead, it could very well be the case where Taker is the main inductee for the HOF. When they bring out all the HOF inductees from the previous night, Taker could make a special entrance one final time for the audience by making the lights go off and suddenly appearing in some special fashion, just as he's done a bazillion times before (it never gets old for most people, it seems.)

I've had a lingering feeling for awhile that Punk will be ending the streak but most likely, he simply comes close and maybe turns face because of fans (and probably Taker) showing respect for him because of how close he comes to ending it. (Or perhaps just Heyman berating him and having Lesnar attack and break his arm like a twig with the Kimura.)

With his current health issues, I don't see him make it WrestleMania XXX, so my guess is that it's time for Taker's to hang the damn boots. If Punk wins it will make him the biggest heel in the company, which is good for business. But I don't really see that happening...

But please, someone, make Taker hang is damn boots and retire!

Wouldn't be mad per se, however I don't think it will happen. Punk has stated quite a few times he's going to retire in 2-3 years. If someone is going over Taker, I would have to imagine it's someone with a long term future.

If Punk were to be put over Taker, I'm sure he'd make the decision to stay. WWE would make very sure he intended on having a long term career with them before handing over a twenty year streak to him. Punk was also gonna leave in 2011, but then the MITB storyline convinced him to stay and sign a new contract and look at where he is now.

No! Personally I'd like to see him beat the Streak, in the long run it would be good for Business, just Like Cena will be beating Rock at WM. Punk beating Taker would be an actual shock moment and something that people will remember for a long time. It would also mean at Wrestlemania, two of the legends will essentially be passing the torch down to another Superstar, which again in the Long run would be good. I mean if Undertaker loses, it's not like suddenly he'll become terrible in the eyes of the fans. 20-1 is still a good number though.

Punk won't really be there in the long run. Apparently he wants to retire in the next five or so years so him ending the streak wouldn't really benefit in the long run.

Idk how I would react. It's too far fetched for me to even begin to process.

Well, given that he'll retire soon, it sounds like a bit of a waste. But if he's to stick around it'd be good. Wouldn't be mad though.

Fuck yeah...

Why would they give it to Punk? Or stop it right now?

If possible, let it get to a few matches after this.

Btw, Taker will even be healed better by the time.

I wouldn't be mad. In fact, Kane aside for a second, I can't think of anybody that deserves to more from the current roster.

Who's a better choice than Punk?
