What if the Undertaker retires with his streak intact? Instead of wondering who will beat his streak, what if no one defeats him? I think that would be even more awesome.

It seems that's the direction they are going.
I mean if HBK couldn't do it in two of the greatest WWE matches of all time, there is no way anyone else could be believable. Not even Cena.

I'm pretty sure that Taker retires undefeated at WM.

Wouldn't it make sense to put someone over?

Wouldn't it make sense to put someone over? But you dont wanna pull a Brock Lesnar, in putting over some younger guy...and then he leaves. A risk they aren't willing to take, and I don't blame them. Besides there is NO ONE in the company right now that is at that level who is believable enough to beat him after HBK could not. |

Isn't that kinda WWE's fault that they do not push people to that caliber? Also they gotta learn to take risks again and not play it safe. |

Well, I'm not defending it, but it seems like every time they take a risk lately someone gets hurt or fails Wellness or screws something else up. |

Wouldn't it make sense to put someone over? Yes, and that's always my argument against Undertaker. It's common practice in wrestling to put someone over on your way out the door, yet everyone thinks Undertaker should get a free pass for whatever reason. I think it's a crock. |

Yeah. I think retiring at 20-0 would be the best choice.

The guy that they acknowledge as the greatest in ring talent of all time lost clean twice in a row to the Undertaker. There is no-one else that could logically become the guy to beat Undertaker after that. I personally believe there is no logical option other than leaving the Streak unbroken.

I agree, but note that putting someone over on your way out doesn't necessarily coincide with ending the streak. We have no evidence that 'Taker will retire at a Mania. |

Not saying I disagree... but it's the way he's been booked for the past 20 years. Excluding Biker-Taker era, when was the last time he was beaten cleanly? Hell, it's a miracle Kane has done it, lately. Honestly, the only star that gets booked enough like a Superman (no pun intended) to do it at Mania is Cena. And he certainly doesn't need the rub. Or, alternatively, Kane, who is almost as old as the Undertaker and probably in not much better shape. Not to say I wouldn't mark hard to see Taker tap to the LeBell lock, though... |

But as WWE is without serious competition (and even snagging the guy who beat 'Taker won't make TNA into such), the only thing they'd be risking would be the ability to market a bunch of X-0 blu-rays and maybe a one-off return somewhere down the road. That may or may not be worth it, but the decision is closer then you think. |

Anyone who could believably do it doesn't need the rub.

I dont see what they have to gain by letting someone beat the streak. I mean, if you were going to be serious about it, then the program for it shouldve started a LONG time ago, somewhere between after Wrestlemania 26 and Summerslam 2010. If you are going to push a guy to THAT point, you need to do it properly.
Having the streak last as part of Undertaker's myth and aura is perfect. I'd like to see his last match against someone who he can combine with to pull out one last top quality match. I think him and Cena are something special waiting to happen. Not every match has to be a vet putting a young guy over. Who got over through the WM 25 match? No-one, it was a match created purely for its purpose as a wrestling match, and turned out to be an absolute mind blower. I'd have Taker vs Cena. It wont be HBK/Taker good, but definitely Wrestlemania worthy. And I'd finish it with Cena being choked out by Hell's Gate. Cena doesn't tap, Cena knows exactly what will happen, and he takes it anyway.
The Streak remains intact, Cena proves that he will Never Give Up.

How long was Edge's streak before he lost to Taker?
