I mean, if you want to get bonkers with it... You have a guy who decides he's looking for these relics of a wrestler long past. He travels to Death Valley in search of the rumored items. There's a warning that when worn, will then have to carry the burden of the Undertaker for at least 27 years. f*** it, lets go full on WCW mini movie

I don't completely hate the idea, but what if we tweaked it?
The only thing I could realistically see being passed down would be the urn. Undertaker could pass it on to a younger wrestler and suddenly he/she develops 'Taker-like abilities. However I wouldn't make it identical.

Making a new Undertaker would be like making other new legends to replace legends we already have. Most of the time, it wouldn't work.
What they could do is make another Undertaker/Kane-like character and by that another supernatural character but these days in 2017 it's so hard to do.

Somewhere down the line , Taker introduces a new supernatural character . Who adapts his theme & entrance only. Because Taker no doubt had the best entrance ever, Nothing will ever top it IMO . I had the absolute pleasure of seeing his entrance live at wm 20,28 ,29 one Raw , one SD and once at summerslam . The feeling was incredible , that should live on.

Roman should've started Raw by putting on the coat and hat, becoming Reigns, The Undertaker. You don't think the fans hat him enough already?

Reigns should do a Jericho or Portia Perez and start collecting his defeated foe's ring gear as trophies!

The idea of another Undertaker didn't exactly work in 1994 and it's even less chance now

So what is Brian Lee doing these days? NWA, where careers go to refuse to die.

No.
The style can be duplicated - Jake Roberts before, Bray Wyatt and Finn Balor now, but Taker was so unique a gimmick on a once in a lifetime mix of talent, booking and pure luck, you'd be nuts to try and do it again. Besides, it really would weaken the legacy. Agree with the first post - the gimmick was laid to rest on Sunday night at roughly the stroke of midnight. Let it go and leave the memories alone.

Bray is probably the closest thing they've got to a new Undertaker, and he only works because he isn't aping him.
I can't fathom getting much closer than that without it getting shit on hard.

As been said countless times in this thread, not a replica, but some sort of legacy character would be nice. I like a bit of supernatural in my wrestling Roman should've started Raw by putting on the coat and hat, becoming Reigns, The Undertaker. You don't think the fans hat him enough already? Hatters gonna hat

Absolutely not, not in a million and one years. Never recast such an iconic character. It never works

I think Reigns should be the new Undertaker, complete with hat and coat. Im on board. He's the guy who killed Taker, he should become Taker. He'll grow into it like Taker did.

I heard someone suggest Luke Harper being the new Taker too.

WWE have had decades to expand upon the "lore" of the Undertaker and create a successor. Kane was a massive success as such. They could've introduced "the son of Kane" or something like that, connecting him to the Undertaker (and Kane) and setting him up play a similar role once Taker inevitably retired. But that never happened.
But, you know what? **** it. Bring Kane back for a few appearances. Have him reveal a few unknown facts about his and Taker's family.
Chief among them, that Kane and Taker's mother's name was Abigail.
Or, if that stretches credibility too much, that Kane and Taker had a sister. A sister named Abigail.
