No, no, no! Goddamit. (may just be rumours) (Spoilers?)

So as I said potential spoilers (??) so be warned. According to Cageside seats...



Brock vs Taker at Summerslam...


...may have a retirement stipulation added to it.

According to Cageside Seats, WWE is potentially going to add an interesting stipulation to their SummerSlam match. The loser of the match will have to retire.£

"There's some word going around that the Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar match at SummerSlam may get a retirement stipulation added to it."


A) That makes no sense, Lesnar isn't even old. I suppose it could be like the shitty Mania match with HHH where the retirement stip was only on HHH and not Bork, but still it sucked. It telegraphed H's victory because we all know he'll be wrestling at mania for another ten years.

B) To further that point, if there's a retirement stip and it's just the Undertaker's career on the line, then it's freakin telegraphed that Taker will win. And I don't want that.

Man, I really hope this isn't true. Although maybe I should stop being such a Lesnar mark.

Anyway, carry on.

So, double count out or a DQ then

[Emmet Russell]

It that means Taker retires, I'm all for it.

He should've been done once the Streak ended. Now it just feels he's prolonging the inevitable.

[Magic knows Black Lives Matter]

...What's bad about that?

Taker, it's time to call it a day, brah.

Honestly if we're not getting Taker vs. Sting, than what's the point of The Undertaker anymore. I know it's harsh and it feels dirty since The Undertaker was my favorite growing up but what's left of him to do?

[mcstoklasa]

But Taker isn't going to retire at Summerslam is he? He'll be wrestling at Mania next year. Taker has house shows to wrestle in Mexico this year, might be at Surivor Series. He's a dead cert to wrestle mania 32. In other words, Bork gets Borked.

I once beat Terry Funk in a retirement match.....we all did.

[Jeff Mangum PI]

Brock signed a multi-year contract, Undertaker's advertised for WM32. I'm calling bullshit on all of this.

You're most likely right, but they could easily have Heyman challenge Taker for his career if he loses, and then naturally, have Taker win.

[Deleted]

Taker wins at Summerslam so they have the rudder match at Survivor Series with the retirement stipulation and Brock sends the deadman packing at the same PPV he debuted at. HOF for WM then Taker can mess around with his bikes for the next 30 years or so (and hopefully write a book, he'd have a few good stories to tell).

[Professor Chaos]

If it's for both of them then great because it means Brock wins. If it's just for Taker then ugh he'll probably win.

Abe Lincoln once beat Terry Funk in a retirement match

[CATCH_US IS the Conversation]

Honestly, I could watch Taker wrestle for another decade if they just let him work more with younger talents rather than "dream matches" with other old farts that do nothing for anyone.

[Juice]

Man Brock has always been Takers boy, and if this is true then it is no doubt Takers choice. Sting is only a dream match to us.

[Can you afford to pay me, Gah]

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised is Taker does win because when you look back on there careers, Brock is the ONLY major star that he never beaten. Everyone else at one time or another he has but Brock. I don't see Taker ending it at SummerSlam and I know Brock isn't going anywhere just yet after signing for several years earlier this year..

[Soultastic]

Isn't Mania in Texas this time around? Maybe they wanna get him in the Hall of Fame there.

Then again, this is all speculation.

[Mochi Lone Wolf]

I don't see the point in having the Undertaker's last match in a match that we've already seen on any PPV that's not Survivor Series or Wrestlemana but, what the f*** do I know?


And if Brock loses a retirement match, I will rage. Resign him to a two year deal, only for it to last 6 goddamned months. Woo hoo. That would be totally worth it, no?

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

I don't see a reason for this as the match has been pretty well built and this won't add that much to it in two weeks. I could see Taker winning and Brock retiring him at Survivor Series as the WWE can once again make that show a big deal like it was last year and it would make sense poetically since that is where he debuted in 1990.

[Lancers]

If he were to retire before WM, it should be the Survivor Series. 25th anniversary of his debut.

[Hobby Drifter]

Taker can't beat Lesnar. It'd ruin like a decades worth of story.
