I'm not sure your reading my post never did I say someone should defeat taker at mania.
What I said was you take some young guy put him in a match with taker and you make him look good. Then he can do the whole I almost had him at mania shtick that HHH is currently doing and bam new Main Event Superstar. He'd still lose you just make him look like a contender with the match.
MY bad. That said, I have spoke on that before. There isn't real youth who belong there.
Logically you would think Cody has to defend the IC belt and Dolph would be in MITB this year which he will win. That leaves Wade who simply can't work anywhere near the level required for a Streak match in recent years as they don't even let him work prolonged non-gimmick singles matches on TV because he is limited. I don't see the youth that is worthy or can bring it, as I think Cody and Dolph will be busy, either of them and I'm fine with it
