Who should take on Taker?

[Moonlight Drive]

A feud with Undertaker would let Umaga show us how good he really is.

 

[The Rated R CMStar]

While I dream with an Umaga vs Taker feud, I disagree with what you're saying Moonlight.

A feud between Umaga and Taker, if anything, would bury Umaga even more.

We all know Umaga is not winning the feud in the end. If anything, he'll get to beat Taker badly and send him into his yearly spring injury break. But then, Umaga will be squashed.


And once that happens, Umaga would have lose any chance of ever becoming main eventer.





In another topic, as for Taker putting people over, the far he has gone is to give wrestlers a rub that more often than not (and I still wonder how they make it worked) WWE took that guy and pushed him further up the card, but Taker never put the guy over indeed. Kennedy was squashed by Taker, and the only reason he got pushed up the card was because of his OWN MIC SKILLS. The Great Khali got dominated by Taker, and the reason he is still around is for his size.

Triple H can say he made Batista and to some extent John Cena, Jeff Hardy and Randy Orton.

HBK can say he made Orton a credible champion, Y2J a credible main eventer, that he started the Legend Killer gimmick for Orton, among others.

What can Taker say about the people he "has put over"?

yep, I agree with CMS. If a Umaga/Taker feud is going to happen, it will be just to entertain the fans but it would not help Umaga get over, the feud will be great but at the end, he will just lose to Undertaker and maybe he'll just get a little benefit from it (lol, I just repeated what CMS said). He should do a program with Shawn Michaels to get some push imo.

Another thing that I really want to see in Wrestlemania is a VKM vs. Undertaker. It will be the Evil Boss vs. The man who he helped in having a name, the Undertaker. The match will be just a No Holds Barred match but the feud will definitely be an awesome in my eyes.

 

[noumenon]

Yeah wow, Vince vs. Taker? I'de sooner consider Santino a threat to Cena's title than Vince a threat to Taker's streak.

 

[LKP]

People are saying umaga vs taker will have taker bury umaga. No way yeah taker will win a match up and umaga probably will. Remember undertaker will be hanging up his boots very soon, so who's to say umaga wont take him out? Im saying summerslam time or maybe even survivor series. Have them feud through out the summer into the fall. With umaga taking out taker for good.

 

[Evil Austin]

Am I the only one who thinks that we might see a Show vs. Taker match to end thier feud. Cause we never really got the blow off match cause of the Rumble continuing their feud.

And they have already done a casket match and a cage match so I don't know what is left but I see some sort of Gimmick match. Who knows it may be HIAC cause there has been a HIAC match with Taker at WM before. Though I doubt it. It will most likely be some sort of LMS match.

 

[LKP]

No i think taker and show will end they're feud in the elimination chamber myself. Taker will prob do that choke hold on him and bloody him. Taker vs hbk at wm25, when taker said its like hell getting into heaven. That planted the seed for it.

 

[Boš]

HBK or Big Show

 

[Luke Flywalker]

Here's how I see it:

Shawn Michaels forced into a match vs. Undertaker at WrestleMania... JBL doesn't want Shawn to be the one known for ending Undertaker's streak, interferes, and causes Shawn to lose the match. This leads to Undertaker going nuts on JBL because he prefers his WM matches to be left the fuck alone, or Shawn goes off on JBL, quits, and decides to go through everything the hard way.

This leads to Shawn and JBL going back and forth over the next year, both men digging in at shots at the World Heavyweight Championship with Orton... costing each other the belt along the way, and Orton always sliding out successfully (because if he loses the belt, he's qualified for termination). His belt will be his insurance policy. Eventually this all culminates in a WrestleMania 26 Falls Count Anywhere or Ladder Match. The Ladder Match would be favored by this time, as Shawn's still in financial trouble, if he wins, he gains his desired funds, if JBL wins, Shawn's got to retire, or JBL gets a title shot.



But to be honest, with the way the WWE is about people knowing the Taker matchup months in advance, I'm still siding with yet another undertaker vs. Kane WrestleMania match. Kane's coming to the point of retirement, as he's mulled over it in recent years. Undertaker wants Kane to be the guy to end his streak, he's told Vince he wont have it any other way. Kane doesn't seem too keen on doing that, but it would be the perfect leave for the Big Red Machine, and even Undertaker if he's still mulling over retirement. Send both monsters to Hell, and have that be it for the both of 'em, ending the era of the Brothers of Destruction.

Otherwise, the Umaga/Undertaker feud that was hinted at in recent weeks, seems to play out most favorably, and the HIAC match would be the most deserving.

Or Undertaker could opt to elongate this feud with Shelton Benjamin (nobody can deny they've had some incredible matches of late). Shelton wants to prove he's worth the shot at the WWE title... lasting with the Undertaker at WrestleMania would sell him over. And you wont find anyone more athletic or fundamentally sound as a mat technician than Shelton Benjamin... it could do his career wonders.

^ I REEEEALLLY don't know where the fuck you're getting that from. "Taker wants Kane to end his streak." If that were the case he would have done so years and years ago when Kane was actually still going strong and not the Big Red Jobber. It's been proven in just about every single encounter they've ever had that Undertaker always goes over Kane.
What would the point be of Taker losing his streak to someone like Kane only for Kane to retire anyway?
IF his streak ever comes to an end (which I don't think it ever will) it would be far more beneficial for a younger up and coming talent to end it, rather than a washed up one at the end of his career.

It was suggested by Undertaker last year, and Kane turned the offer down because he's got too much respect for the history of Taker's streak. Undertaker said if anyone was going to do it, he'd prefer for it to be Kane. It wouldn't signify just the end of Kane's career, but Taker's as well... as if he lives off of WrestleMania.

It almost fits with him winning as well (if they keep the leaked storyline that Prichard sent out to random sites like an idiot)... but it would be against Shawn Michaels.

 

[The Rated R CMStar]

So let me get this straight...

Taker was denying his year long coming title win just so that he can put over a 42 year old jobber?

First, I never saw that report, and I check A LOT of news and rumors sites.

Besides the fact that it doesnt even make sense.

 

[Luke Flywalker]

It does make sense, because that would be the end of Undertaker's career... and thus the end of Kane's seeing as he did what he initially set out to do in the first place.

And I've caught myself, allow me to rephrase properly:

Undertaker said that the only person he would take the fall to would be Kane. He would be fine if they wanted to play the retirement storyline.

I didn't say it was suggested before WrestleMania 24 FOR WM24. I said it was suggested. It makes just as much sense as the fucknut storyline they had planned out for the Shawn Michaels/Kane thing... Undertaker calling it quits at WrestleMania.

I also saw a suggestion that Sim Snuka could play a part in the storyline because of Jimmy Snuka being the first "victim" as it were.

Kane is basically the Big Red Jobber now...he lost to Kofi Kingston *shakes head* I nowhere near think he is the right guy for the job. However, if it was him... atleast give him back the mask... Maybe he realizes that he needed to take out Taker...whatever it may be...as long as he gets the mask back...

oh and Yea Sim Snuka should play a role..... Undertaker beat Jimmy Snuka at his first Wrestlemania, so now he beats his son at the Wrestlemania Silver Anniversary lol

 

[noumenon]

Kane is NEVER going to beat Taker at Mania....NO ONE is.
WWE would never sacrfice something as legendary as Taker's streak to resolve a feud which started over 10 years ago....especially not anything involving Kane. The man who isn't even getting a title shot at NWO because he lost via rollup to Kofi Kingston.

SIM SNUKA!?? SIM FUCKING SNUKA!??! If Sim Snuka is anywhere near Taker at Mania it better be to wipe the sweat from his balls after he's done winning his match
