HBK pitches to wrestle Taker at WM 25

[Faces rule!]

-- Shawn Michaels has pitched to wrestle Undertaker at WrestleMania 25 in Houston, Texas.


That should be awesome!

[ilggant]

I recently had an idea. Have CM Punk get a huge winning streak, but always gets overlooked for title shots. Then just before Wrestlemania, have him stand in the ring with the Undertaker (either have them in a tag match or something) and have him turn on him in a brutal way. Have him then explain that it was the only way that he could get noticed, and once he breaks the Undertaker's streak at Wrestlemania then there is no option but to put him in the title picture.

Even if he doesn't win, have him put up a hell of a fight, and not only do you have a great match but also a young wrestler getting a huge rub and establishing himself in the main event.

Punk has enough charisma to pull it off.

Have HBK drag a great match out of somebody else.

But can HBK afford to wrestle Taker?

Must.....resist.......

[KingPopper]

Everyone wants to see this match since Royal Rumble 07, Triple H can cry all he wants but he already jobbed to Taker at Mania, and no one should ever wrestle Taker twice besides Kane. If not HBK, I would throw Umaga in there, just cause.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet



EDIT Hey wait Andy Stevens of the Naturals?

[Baixo Astral]

I always saw HBK as more of a catcher.

I'll say it again:

HBK and Taker have had FIVE singles matches. HBK is 5-0.

This match writes itself, damnit.

I like how you randomly threw Umaga in there. It's like the episode of the Simpsons when the kids got stranded on the island.

"And eventually the children were rescued by.....oh.....let's say.....Moe."

Meh.

Seen it before, when both guys were younger and fitter, and at 'Mania the result isn't going to be in doubt either.

How bout we have Punk be a jobber instead to everyone in the company. I like that a lot better.

No thanks, I want to see taker mania matches where the result is actually in doubt.

Orton/Taker. Made good by the fact that Taker's streak actually was at believable risk.

Batista/Taker. Same reason. I was "pretty sure" Taker would win, but it wasn't a lock.



Never actually end the streak, but make it believable that it could end.

That's more or less what they did with Orton at WM 21. Beating the Undertaker to "make an impact".

Well we have to have Punk in every story line cause he is so awesome...................... Ya Im having a hard time keeping a straight face typing this.

[Agent P]

They could have a helluva buildup to the match, since Michaels did what no one else in the company could do last year and retire Flair.

[spacepope316]

I think Michaels and Morrison should be involved in a match together at Mania.

Maybe they can do an angle where Vickie Guerrero offers up the secret code Batista uses to the guy who breaks Taker's winning streak at Mania. They have a tournament and Michaels uses some slightly heelish tactics to beat Morrison and goes onto Mania. Then at Mania have Morrison and Miz bring a casket down to the ring and put Michaels in it and set it on fire on the ramp.

[nealo]

thisd is a good idea as they are both form Texas and WM is going to be in Texas.

I'm sure the pitch involved a storyline where HBK becomes downtrodden and does a sad puppy expression as he slowly exits the arena. But what could make him sad? Taker takes away his straw hat and won't give it back? Taker tells HBK that everybody knows about the receeding hairline? Taker steals HBK's parking spot?

Undertaker and Shawn will fight over the rights to a shampoo commercial.
