Re: Professional Wrestling Thread: Sign It Before The Stock Plummets Some More
If someone is going to beat Undertaker to end the streak, it has to be someone who could get a rub from it and advance their career. Kane is over 40 years old. A young guy like Rhodes or Bryan would make a lot more sense than Kane. And I love Kane! But he's old and doesn't need that win.
Anyone who ends the streak is going to be viewed as hand-picked by the Undertaker, so it better be good. Plus they'd have to accept (several wrestlers have allegedly been offered the opportunity to end the streak, but they've all declined.)
If Bryan does it, you know those charisma problems he has? Moot. He's the new *wince* Chris Benoit overnight. And the enigma story writes itself. That awkward looking vegan nerd who's only known by the smarks, doesn't talk a lot, and isn't even recognized by the arena staff as a wrestler? HE JUST WALKED INTO WRESTLEMANIA AND BEAT THE FREAKING UNDERTAKER.
Ziggler would deserve it too - he's the hardest **** worker in the company, and sells like no one's business. That match would be epic. But now that I think about it, he wouldn't need the win, he'd just need a solid hour of Taker making him look like a freaking god.
Punk would basically become the new Austin on the spot, but he's got juuuuust enough momentum to not need it, and I think he'd probably have too much respect for the guy to go through with it if asked.
Just please don't turn this into the Triple H Ego Stroking Hour again. Unless Taker genuinely wants him for his finale. I'd rather see Taker retire with the streak intact than Triple H beat him.
