Or was Undertaker vs CM Punk average at best? Maybe need to go rewatch it, but Lesnar vs Punk should def be on that list.

I thought it was really good. Probably the weakest Taker WM match in 5 years but considering its competition, that's nothing to be ashamed of. It was easily the highlight of a poopy Wrestlemania.
And yes, Lesnar vs. Punk should have been on the list.

I like how dominant Punk got to look. Obviously he wasn't going to win, but Taker took a licking from him.

It did nothing for me. Atmosphere is huge and I don't mean to dismiss either of them, but if you watch this on mute, then it looks very weak.

I recently rewatched it for a Tumblr series I'm doing. It had good moments, mostly nearfalls and whenever Punk was on offense mocking Taker.

I loved it. Doesnt compare to the Cell from 28, or Shawn at 25, but it definitely belongs as one of the best Streak matches.
That being said, Punk/Lesnar is a MUCH better match.

considering Punk was in total "half-ass this" mode at the time, you wouldn't be the only one.

Punk/Lesnar is superior in every way outside of being a streak match at Mania. That match is off the charts good.

It was a good match, but it was obvious that Undertaker doesn't really have the speed for non-gimmick matches anymore.

Punk/Lesnar was way better, but Punk/Taker was also great.

Was it good? Yes.
Was it match of the year good? Hell no.

Punk vs Taker was ok. Punk clearly had better matches with better opponents. It was probably the most he could get from someone old & limited like Taker.
I liked it more than Triple H matches vs Taker at WM 27 & 28. Those just sucked, 175 chair shots & 25 finishers, your default WWE 2K14 online match.

Any other year it would be a MOTYC but it is merely a very good match in a sea of fantastic ones. It's not fair really, although amusingly Punk has been in lots of the other MOTYCs...

I loved the punk v taker match, but as I was at that show my judgement may be clouded.

I'm sure it wasn't just you.
But it's still my pick for best match of the year, and it single-handedly saved Wrestlemania 29 from being the worst of all time.

Can Taker wrestle these days? Whenever we see him it seems like it's just a near-fall clustermuster
