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.

I actually view it as just the opposite - I feel it shows how much faith management has in Wyatt and his abilities to keep people intrigued that they would leave it entirely up to him to carry the feud on his own until Wrestlemania gets here.

It doesn't matter what the management thinks. Having only Rusev build his feud with Cena will show Cena's superiority over him. Having Wyatt cut promos on a guy who isn't showing up is throwing rocks into a gun fight, it's pretty dumb.

It actually makes perfect sense for the story they're trying to tell, but OK.

The only negative thing for me about Taker not showing until Mania is that it practically guarantees that he'll win since I doubt they're gonna have him let all of Wyatt's taunts and threats go unanswered until Wrestlemania only to have him show up there and lose anyway. I mean, it was already kind of obvious that Bray was gonna lose, but still.

Whether Bray wins or loses is irrelevant to me. Seeing the legend return at Mania and seeing him wrestle Bray in a classic is all I care about.

Who gives a fuck if Taker doesn't show up? That only makes his appearance more special at Mania. Get over yourselves, children.

Baby boy knows the business better than Vince and Taker. Hilarious.

Exactly what did I say that implemented the idea that I know the business better than the professionals? I said that it's going to make Wyatt seem like a jobber, in my opinion, due to the fact that his opponent is not showing up.

Now I know why I got tired of posting here in the wrestling sections; assholes trying to downgrade your opinion by throwing the "smart mark" allegation.

A lot of time, Vince's decisions make it seem like he doesn't know the business as well as a man in his position should.

Totally.

I've stopped caring about the Streak after he was 20-0, so now that it's broken, they can do whatever the hell they want with it. I'm perfectly fine with Taker losing to Wyatt.

As far as Taker defeating Wyatt goes, can't say I'd love it, even though Taker's a legend who's done it all, but it wouldn't be fair to Bray, considering he's been built up to look strong only to be fed to Taker, who won't even be at work the next day and who'll disappear for another year once more. Oh, well...

While the "End Of An Era" match would have been a fitting end for Undertaker if they had let him retire undefeated at Wrestlemania, the Streak ending was just too big of a moment to pass up imo. Even if they did end up giving it to the guy who needed it the least.

As for Taker/Wyatt, I hope they have Bray Wyatt kick out of three Tombstones before he finally stays down for the three count. Imagine that shit. When Undertaker and Kane fought for the first time at Wrestlemania 14, Taker had to hit three Tombstone Piledrivers in a row to finally put Kane down, which was an effective way of showing that Kane wasn't like any other adversary that Undertaker had ever faced before (this was back when Kane was fresh and still a legitimate monster.) They should go the same route with Bray Wyatt this year.

Bray Wyatt can't survive 1 AA but he can survive 3 Tombstones? lol.
