Idea for Taker v Michaels

[RealMattKozza91]

Would a Draw hurt Streak? being 17-0-1 Hurt? 17 Wins 0 Loss and 1 Draw?

that way HBK does not have to retire and Taker didnt beat him, Its just a little idea that many of you will hate but ill post it anyway

A match that has had a year of build-up does not end in a draw. Your input is appreciated nonetheless.

[Kris Kobain]

There was a rumor that it could end in a draw.
I don't know if that was backed up by facts or not.
A lot of people would be really really unhappy with a draw in my opinion.
I for one wish both guys would retire all ready.

DX vs BOD was the only thing I was interested in seeing. I don't know what they're going to do to top last year and I doubt they can. Seems like an uninspired cash in. The build for this has been horrible (from Taker's perspective. Obsessed Shawn was ok)

What if they do a sort of take on the Flair/Michaels match? Same kind of set-up, Michaels knows the end is coming and Taker delivers the finisher. Then... Taker (completely out of character, mind) decides that continuing The Streak isn't worth ending the career of a wrestler like Shawn Michaels. Taker leaves the ring, thinking he'd let the streak end by count-out. Michaels isn't having any of it, and super-kicks the ref to trigger the DQ finish.

Then, I dunno, Kane comes out, burns somebody's clothes and gives them a suit or something.

HHH will ruin the match.

This is how i felt, how can they top the WM 25 match? Uninpsired cash in seems like a great description for it. But they're both world class performers who have delivered on the grandest stage of them all time and time again so maybe they can capture that lightning in a bottle again.

I quite like this idea. But anything other than a clean victory one way or the other in a bout of this magnitude always feels like a non-decisive cop-out. The challenge is for them to have a great match but not repeat themselves completely and do some new and creative things that work well.

i can see trips either costing or helping hbk. Personally i want shawn to win clean but there is no way thats happening. Triple h interfering would set up a feud with taker or hbk down the road

This is what I mean. How can they not repeat themselves? They used every move in their arsenals, some of them multiple times. If it's a straight one on one match with a clean finish, the only thing they can do is switch around the order of the big moves. I'm sure they have something planned. Some twist at the end to make it different.

I'm sorry Shawn. I love you. (rolls eyes to back of head)

Seriously, a Flair type of ending would work. HBK throws everything at him. SCM after SCM and Taker just keeps raising up. Finally HBK just loses it during the match and goes apesh*t berserk. He now knows he can't do it, so he just gives up in the middle of the ring, tells Taker to get it over with and takes a tombstone.

[Hobby Drifter]

I think that HHH costing HBK the match and possibly setting up a match at Summerslam is the way that it's going to play out. There are any number of great twists they can put on it, though.

HHH turns on Shawn because of HBK's actions as of late.
HHH tries to help HBK, but accidentally costs him the match. HBK's pissed and demands a match as SS.
HHH tries for the suggested, "punch out HBK and hand him the streak via DQ" attempt. HBK "doesn't want to win that way," super-kicks HHH (to set up the (in my mind) inevitable Summerslam match) out of anger, demands the match be re-started, then loses with a clear conscience.

There is SO much that could be done with it.

then they do them in different ways. Maybe this time around Shawn tries to hurt Taker he's so desparate to win.

[Matt Dunn]

Heres an idea: do something else.

[Dr. Bunsen Honeydew]

Here's a better idea(for the poster above you). Don't necro threads without a reason.
