The Undertaker Will Be Kept Off TV Until WM?

[The GOAT]

Worst RTWM ftw.

Can't really see it being any worse than 29's was.

 

[KITT]

Armchair bookers can always do it better! Amazing how that works

 

[Farooq]

Damien Sandow will appear as the Sandtaker, I'm calling this shit!!

Thought I'd put this here. Damn, wish I saw those videos today.

- WWE briefly posted a pair of WrestleMania promos on their YouTube channel this afternoon that listed the Undertaker vs. Bray Wyatt for the event. Both videos have since been removed.

Worst RTWM ftw.

WrestleMania 27 would like to say hi.

So, how is WWE going to build up the bout? Surely there should be a presence by Deadman before Wrestlemania?

Yeah, there should be at least one or two TV appearances by Taker.
But given how they did the same thing with Taker/Lesnar build-up for last year's WM (with Taker being present on TV) and it was still a total lackluster, it's kind of better to keep Taker off TV till Mania.

Yeah know what this news says to me........

Vince: You wanna actually see the Undertaker? In person? Buy the WWE Network! Bwahahahaha!

I'd rather see Taker appear, because either he appears at 'Mania, loses and looks like he's completely lost it. Or Bray Wyatt loses, and looks like he's an idiot for spending 2 months doing this and then when Taker appears once, he loses. If they're both on TV before 'Mania, we can see more of a storyline beyond Bray Wyatt thinks Taker's lost it and wants to... well, I don't know, his promos are too long and metaphorical for me to pay attention nowadays.

Which is actually a good pitch for people to buy the Network. :dawg:

 

[Vicka]

Well, you don't have to buy WWE Network to see WM or other PPV's .. BTW I think that it will be the last Undertaker's match because he is so old.

Hmmm. I waffled over whether I thought this was a good idea or not. Undertaker usually appears on some Raws before and after Wrestlemania, so it's been really weird to neither see nor hear from him at all. In my mind, it only amplifies Lesnar's defeat of him. I mean, even Heyman has been saying that Lesnar beat him and he hasn't been seen or heard from since.

At first, I thought it was bad to go that road because it was done for the sake of their Lesnar and Reigns story line. But the more I think about it, it makes sense to keep him off TV. It plays well with Bray Wyatt's promos about there being no reason to fear the Undertaker anymore. However, it would severely backfire, in my opinion, if they play the match up in this way and then have Undertaker lose again.

Eh, I don't know. I'm not a big enough of a Undertaker fan to really be very concerned about what they do with him, but I really don't like the idea of having him lose twice at Wrestlemania. And I don't like the idea of having Bray Wyatt lose to him. I am more concerned about both guys not losing more than I am concerned about both guys not winning. That's a headache waiting to happen.

Why exactly would you keep your biggest star off of TV, letting the more inexperience rookie do the work? Great way to make Wyatt sound like a total jobber, challenging a guy who's too cool to show up.

He should have let the boots hang after WrestleMania 30.

Nah, Taker should keep wrestling. To hell with his well-being. Gotta lure in the new WWEN subscribers, bro.
