I can't at all. As talented as Danielson is, it would be an insult to all the other men, some of them legit HOF'ers, who tried to dethrone the winning streak. Of all talent currently on the WWE roster, I can only see John Cena and Triple H being the men worthy of pulling off the task. However, this is Triple H's second attempt, and Cena has hardly wrestled the man in recently years, so I think Cena going against 'Taker would be a much bigger deal. But Daniel Bryan has just hit the one year mark on his WWE career and he's further along than Triple H was and slightly below where Cena was in their first years. I definitely agree it wouldn't work now but if Bryan gets a push like Triple H or Cena have gotten then there's no reason why he wouldn't be able to end the streak. |

Yes, Bryan Danielson could be booked to credibly end the Undertaker's streak. No, it isn't going to happen, and no, I don't think it should happen.

...Although I fail to see how someone who loves wrestling, and puts his all into his craft breaking Undertaker's streak in what would probably be a five or more star match'd be an insult to everyone else who lost.

Yeah of course. If they booked him strongly, and had it turn into an MMA* style match (maybe Taker wanting to make the submission expert tap?) and Danielson would have the talent to run with it, I don't see why not.
I don't necessarily want him to do it, but could I believe it? Hell yes.
*Not an actual MMA fight, but in a psychological aspect.

No because Taker isn't going to submit to end it, a small package victory would be cheap and his kicks are setup moves not finishers generally.

Give Bryan a long feud with CM Punk first to establish himself more, and give him the time he needs to establish himself with a strong push and I could see it in two years.

People expect Bryan to play the mechanic role (Like Jericho, Benoit, Guerrero etc...), not to be the great destroyer of all mankind.
He's just too small to beat The Undertaker. If anything, DBD is the perfect argument for either A) A strong midcard title scene or B) A new cruiserweight division.

Next year? Not a chance.
A few years from now? Still not feeling it.

For all the reasons people say no, I would love to see him do it with his patented Small Package.
I'd be 1000 times the Bryan mark than I am now if he destroyed the legendary all powerful and hallowed streak.

It would be neat they booked it as Daniel Bryan being beaten down to the point of almost unconsciousness and Undertaker reaches down to deliver a tombstone or whatever and gets rolled up for a three. It would mirror Bret Hart Diesel match from IYH but I think it would be worth a try if they do want UT to lose at Wrestlemania at some point.
Oh, and it should be promoted as David vs. Goliath and that Daniel Bryan has virtually no chance of winning.

Hell no. 2 reasons:
1. Taker should be facing Cena next year at 'Mania. It's 'Takers chance to get to 20-0, and he should do it against the face of the company
2. Taker should NEVER LOSE AT WRESTLEMANIA!!!!! Ever!!!! Why in the hell would we want to take that away from him?? He's been around for 20 freakin' years!!!! Let him keep the streak
EDIT: Other then maybe against Orton, I've yet to see a convincing argument as to why someone should end the streak.

Done properly, a ham sandwich could be booked to look like a real and credible threat. And DBD does have the skill to put on a great match -- IMO to carry an aging Taker to a great match -- but as for winning, the reasons above make sense to me as why it would be impossible for me to buy it. |
