I was enjoying Brock starting to face the younger guys.
I'm worried he'll end up facing Cena and HHH and god forbid the Big Local Show again during his limited dates.

No. WWE have finally managed to turn me against a guy who has been one of my favourites for over two decades, although to be fair I've been heading that way since before WM30. I hated the way the streak ended but was willing to go along with putting everything into Brock so whoever beat him cleanly would be a made man. Undertaker getting his win back would seriously undermine that yet I don't want him to lose to Brock (and certainly don't want that to be his last match). Hell their last match was f***ing awful so I don't even want to see them wrestle. They've created a situation which doesn't appear to have a positive outcome. I probably would have been happy to see Undertaker under different circumstances, a feud with a disrespectful Owens may have worked well. Agreed on all of this, the problem being that WWE would tell you that a Brock-Taker match for their second biggest show of the year is the positive outcome as the fallout doesn't matter- both will be off TV right after SS. I hope they keep Seth a hundred miles from this match as he will be overshadowed by everything else in it. I also agree on something like Owens, but Owens has to go over in something like that.

Definitely happy to see 'Taker. Brought a great hook for Raw and he looked great. Them plot holes though...

Since they were never going to let Seth Rollins have any impact on Lesnar (because hey, why treat your main champion as competent?), at least this was a way to stop Lesnar winning the belt. And now Lesnar and Taker can go off into their own little parallel 'we used tobe relevant' universe and let Rollins get on with an actual championship feud with someone he can wrestle.

I like Taker but he wasn't my dude like Bryan is too me right now and Jericho when I was growing up. Taker was just there because he is the damn Undertaker.

No.
Taker looks a lot older than he is, and doesn't have the smug Bikertaker swag that actually made me a fan of his back in the "Big Evil" days.
The man has finally caught up to the gimmick, and "The Deadman" looks well and truly like he WAS dead, just somehow resurrected, and is just confused and alarmed at the whole situation.
I did appreciate him bringing back the old Greco-Roman Kick to the Nuts, though.

No.
1: Because they're going to force a heel turn out of Lesnar who's been the hottest guy since Bryan has been out. 2: Just simply...why now?
Showed complete laziness.
And it's a damn shame. On paper, this was most likely the most complete PPV the WWE could put together with the current roster they have, and this was just another death nail to why this company just gets nothing at the present moment.

I hate these desperation oldtimer returns
Plus I haven't cared for Taker since the HBK feud (2010?)
Give me Owens, Ambrose, Cesaro, Reigns rematch or Rusev against Brock at SS and I'd be hyped as hell

Yes, because it creates interesting TV. WWE can't book the new talent anymore, they haven't been able to for about 8 years. The nostalgia acts are the only guys who are given anything interesting these days. And you don't see anything wrong with that?

That was one of the all time worst PPV endings I have ever seen. When they did a close up on Undertaker's face he looked like an old guy in a retirement home who was getting impatient waiting for his medication. Plus, what exactly is the motivation here? It's been over a year and he has wrestled someone else during that time. What's he gonna say? "You beat my streak and I stayed home for a year just letting it haunt me so then I came back and beat Bray Wyatt because.... Umm, reasons, and then I could have attacked you in the main event I guess but I was a bit tired after the said Bray beating so I rested another 3 months or so and NOW IS THE TIME!"
Seriously, I can suspend disbelief for a lot of things in wrestling, but an old man beating someone with the aura that Brock Lesnar has now is not one of them.

The nostalgia acts are the only guys who are given anything interesting these days. And you don't see anything wrong with that? Well yeah, obviously. I'd much prefer it to be Rollins/Ambrose/Owens/Rusev/Cesaro/Ziggler etc. getting the good storylines. But they're not. Rollins is just a pawn. Ambrose is doing nothing now. Owens, Rusev and Cesaro are having good matches but storyline wise the latter two don't have a lot going on. The Ziggler/Rusev feud when it does resume is terrible. Ziggler will probably end up getting booed he's been booked that badly.

Yeah one of the worst PPV finishes I've ever seen as well
Somehow I see slight Hogan/WM9 parallels

f*** no. I couldn't believe they had him run in on Lesnar like that. I still can't.

Honestly for the most part I am. Huge fan of his, even with all the rumors I still didn't think he'd actually show up, and it puts the two "part timers" together in one match. Win win situation with Taker looking better than he has in years.

I'm always happy to see undertaker he's still incredibly over He's still a draw And he can still have good matches when need be. I will never not be happy to see the undertaker.

This is exactly why Stephanie should not be head of WWE creative. She doesn't get the business, these 2 week booking cycles are ridiculous, this feud is completely unnecessary, and unwanted. Vince, wake up you old fool, your daughter is ruining your company!
