Obviously, HBK is out of the picture, but he would have been a logical choice just because he's Mr. Wrestlemania and I also thought it was clever how they did that thing where he was a warrior of God fighting Satan's helper in the Undertaker.

Kane makes sense to me because his character should know Undertaker better than anyone. Plus, he's got the whole supernatural power thing. I think that big feud he had with Taker that led to Kane's last run as champ would have been the perfect storyline to build up to a Wrestlemania and have him end the streak. That didn't happen unfortunately. I know that Kane isn't a guy who needs to add that to his resume, but him beating the streak would make sense from a storyline point of view, especially with Paul Bearer helping him

Realistically though, if someone ends the streak it'll probably be Cena as much as I would absolutely HATE seeing that happen, or maybe Orton. He is the Legend Killer. They could actually build a decent story around that actually. Personally, I'd love to see Punk end it. Punk doesn't have that one history making moment in his career yet like Jericho does with his first ever Undisputed Champ who beat the Rock and Austin in one night thing. I would also love to see Taker versus Henry, simply because the build up to it could be awesome. The unstoppable force versus the immovable object. Two monsters going at it. Unfortunately, I don't think those two could pull off a four to five star match together. I love Henry, but he is limited in the ring compared to a lot of other guys
Very good thought's but Here would be another thought though it will never happen... Having hogan defeat undertaker. Since hogan gave the taker the ball by winning the belt from him what a way to end taker streak and retire hulkamania on a strong note. Besides dark matches hogan always lost to taker on ppv except tuesday in texas. Wishfull thinking, but I will be almost sure that taker will retire this year as undefeated.

Actually, I'd say they're both on par with each other. They're both slow and lethargic in their old age.

We never saw Hogan doing this in his 40's.

That whole match was mindlbowing. If that were Hogan vs Shawn, it would've been boring as hell.

Definitely impressive. But that's the exception, not the norm for Undertaker. Even when he was young you never saw him taking dives off the apron.

Crazy stuff. Also the SCARIEST jump I've ever seen, the way he landed, looks like he could've been inches away from breaking his neck.

He also had a great promo at Summerslam 2001 when they were in San Jose (Silicon Valley) before his match with Rhyno (w/Stephanie) :mrgreen:

I know it would be horrible if hogan and taker would be at wrestlemania 1. hogan can't walk and 2. taker can't go like he used to. I was just saying if you can take hogan from 87 or 88 and taker from 93 or 94 then that would be a great match. Not now it would loose alot of wwe fans. It's bad enough we see ric flair in action. Thank god hogan is out of the spotlight and giving the youth in tna a chance.
