Would you create another PPV streak?

[Red Rain]

The Undertaker's WM streak seem to come about almost upon accident. He was booked to overcome his opponent each year until they realized the dude had never lost. Part of his success at WM seemed to stem from his popularity but also from the fact he wasn't in a huge angle each year. It wasn't obvious they were giving him the W until later.

My question to you would be can WWE duplicate a streak at another PPV? Which superstar should it be?

My first answer would be Bray Wyatt for Summerslam but if he's the #2 guy in the company it might seem too obvious that they're just handing him a W. It could be too predictable unless Daniel Bryan, Devitt or Dean Ambrose took the official #2 spot, which are all plausible.

It can be any PPV with a superstar of your choosing.

Maybe not a PPV one right now, unless it comes about by fluke.

I would love a general one at some point! Kinda hoped Bo would have this one but he lost. But it'd be cool if someone had a debut and went on one for awhile via RAW, SD etc...

A fluke sounds like the best methodology to employ.

Well, I really don't think they should try to go for a streak. If they stumble upon one such as they did with Taker and go with it as an angle, it'd be alright, but if they suddenly decided that Wyatt would never job at SS, you know, it kinda locks their booking, forces them to every year put Wyatt in a winning situation (and when it's not a big angle in itself such as the Streak came to be, it isn't very compelling), and thus it may keep him out of storylines that would be more suitable, I don't know. Just don't think it would work well (plus we'd have to hear Michael Cole make a big deal of how the guy is 1-0 or 2-0 at Summerslam or something, which wouldn't be annoying but funny that the guy is making a big deal out of a new streak).

I agree with your rationale. WWE would have to avoid making it obvious. He couldn't exactly be involved in a huge angle at that particular PPV.
Taker had the advantage of never being the main guy or even the #2 guy. With Wyatt it would be a matter of involving him in a smaller match so it isn't obvious that they are building a streak.
Cole would have to avoid mentioning anything until it grew to something substantial or when Wyatt grew to the point where mentioning the streak wouldn't hurt his character.

Wyatt and Taker are both similar in that they are both ego-centric; Neither superstar is particularly interested in changing who they are to suit the audience.

I think a SummerSlam streak could be good for Daniel Bryan. He's already 3-0 at the event (he missed 2011)

Nice tidbit. It's a good thing he missed this year; He certainly would've jobbed to Lesnar for the title this year.
Sticking Bryan in a tag match here and there with an occasional singles win and before you knew it, Bryan would have a streak going.
I'm not sure how believable or how much mystique it would carry given his size, but the option is there.

Haha, as was said before the best thing they can do is to accidentally stumble across one, to make it less obvious... like the Miz at Wrestlemania before this year.

Another cool thing could be a losing streak at a PPV, especially Wrestlemania, where the guy gives it all he has for a few years but just can't quite get there. Like he has some stroke of bad luck and something goes wrong for him at the last moment, it would be cool to see an underdog story come out of that.

Sadly the perfect guy to do this with is loving life in TNA. Jeff Hardy is 0-5 at both Wrestlemania and Summerslam.

Didn't he lose to Barrett in 2011?

Ironically enough he was written to win MITB at WM 24, but he found a way to dou*** that up.
He was even protected at WM 23 with that wicked bump from atop the ladder onto Edge. Edge ended up walking into WM24 'undefeated' against Undertaker.
Leave it to Jeff Hardy to allow his drug of choice to ruin the biggest moments of his life.

He sure did, bro. Good call.

Oh yeah thought it was Darren Young. Whips.
