ya me too. The Undertaker is the reason i still watch WWE. In fact i have liked all his gimmicks. especially the American Badass gimmick. i just hope that he doesnt retire any sooner.

Im sure they would find another person to play him, the character is too vital

The character may just be left to be a memory since the era he was popular has passed, we are entering a new era of wrestling now. The fact they tried to make the Taker popular again by having him ride a bike showed the fans are ready to move on.

No! You don't want Taker to remain undefeated at Mania! Why you ask? Well, it has been 20 years of build of the fact he is undefeated, imagine if there was a young heel (I have had Mr. Kennedy in mind) who ended the streak. They would be hated so much and become a solid main eventer for life. The streak has to end to build the next generation.

And for the love of all things good, if Kane ends it I will kill Vince. What a waste

 

[satishmania]

atleast Edge wont end it this year.. Taker will probably remain champ till next WM

The Undertaker was the one that decided he wanted Kane to beat him, Kane said he didn't want to be the one to end the streak. This was either last year or the year before, the WWE was also considering a Title reign for him, but he turned that down as well.

Although they are not really brothers, Taker almost feels that Kane is one, which was the gesture he was making when he wanted Kane to win the match against him at a Wrestlemania I am guessing the plan was for him to retire at Wrestlemania when he decided on this.

Well I think it would be good to leave his legacy as the only superstar to go undefeated at Wrestlemania and 20 times, but thats my opinion, you know.

Perfect! There hasn't been a superstar like The Undertaker, and he should surely have some kind of record, and the unbeaten streak is surely going to be a great record!

I doubt if the 'Taker will be around in 4 years time to reach 20 appearances, let alone 20 wins.

He has been cutting down on the amount of matches he has, he could possibly have a one night return each year at Wrestlemania. But I think once 'Taker gives it away that's it I cannot see him hanging around like other wrestlers who have given it up and decided to un-retire.

He is just 42 now. Why do you think he won't have 20 appearances??

If you watch The Undertaker you can see he has trouble moving around at times during a match. He has also cut down dramatically on the amount of matches he works in an average month. He spent a long time out with an injury, and at his age they are taking longer to heal.

Talk was, last year's 'Mania was going to be his last, some around wrestling believe that he will pull the pin on his career within the next two years.

My bad then. I don't watch Smackdown. I only watch him at PPVs.

No biggy mate, I just remember reading a year or so he was going to be cutting down on working matches, he won't be doing house shows regularly and will save himself for big matches.

Or something like that.
