Man, it just did not feel like WrestleMania without him. While I never want to see him wrestle again, I think that they made a mistake by not putting him in the Hall of Fame this year. There is no guarantee that he will be around next year and I think it would have been nice to have him come out and wave to the crowd or something. Forget WrestleMania 28. Forget the end of the streak. THIS was the end of the era.

Not at all, honestly. Can't think of where I would have wanted him on the show. I was kind of expecting him to challenge Kurt or something but I wasn't particularly excited about it.

Honestly didn’t miss him at all. And totally forgot about Cena’s absense until he appeared. I thought it was refreshing to have new faces in the big spots. At some point, it’s time to move on.

The thought of him doing his 30 minute entrance was terrifying me the longer the night went on.
The show already felt like it lasted several months, it didn't need Undertaker taking his sweet time limping to the ring.

Absolutely not, the show was 100 years long anyway and Taker can't. do. anything. any more.

I sort of hope he is there next year just so they can do some sort of ghost pirate ship entrance with fog billowing out of that pirate ship at the stadium.
Don't care to see him in a match though.

Nope, he's getting older and older, just have him headline HOF and I'd be happy with that.

I’m good. Felt weird not to at least see him, but there is nothing left to prove. And to be honest, aside from two matches I’d tweek, his run from Manias 20 to 33 was enough to hang the hat on. He doesn’t need to be The Undertaker anymore and we have memories to last forever. And while he is in twilight, Becky, Kofi and others are at Dawn. Such is the cycle, as it should be.

I mean...I was OK with him not wrestling a match. I wouldn't have minded, selfishly, seeing his entrance live one last time to come out and beat up Elias (although Cena was the better option) or something like that.
But I'm also glad that they didn't force it.

No. I bet it would have been an awesome surprise for those in attendance though.

No, because if he were there it would just be sad.

I did not miss him during the event but marked for him the next night. He essentially turned a shitty Elias segment into a entertaining one, as did Classic Cena the night before.

I will admit, I'm curious what the rationale was for keeping him off Mania but putting him on Raw the next night. That was just weird.

Give that entrance to the sky pirates and then Taker can do an imitation of Bret doing an imitation of Lacey like Bret did this year where he literally just comes out at the top of the ramp, wishes the team good luck then walks to the back.

Also, at this point, I'm ready for no Taker. I'm also ready for no HHH. His match this year should have been 10-15 minutes shorter.

No, not at all. He's given me plenty of happy memories, I just want him to enjoy retirement and shill shit on Instagram.

If he wants it, I'd like for them to give him one last match, one last retirement blow out. Preferably vs. Kane and it ends with them both never appearing again afterward.
But, if he wants to be there, I still want to see him.
He still entertains me when I see him come out and do his thing.

No. Not as a criticism, but as people have said, he cant do anything any more and its been time to press on with new main eventers for a LONG time. He'll always be a legend but in life you have to move on.
