He needed to get a Rumble win before he retired. The only thing left is for him to win a KOTR. Just have him get the title off Batista. I still don't get why he deserves it just because he hasn't gotten it before. The guys legacy is written in stone as legendary with or without a Rumble win. The guy has arguably the most notable win streak ever, and is just generally a legendary figure in the business. Who cares if he didn't win a Rumble? I agree. There are plenty of legends that haven't won the Rumble yet. Let's have Dusty Rhodes win the Rumble next year! Or Terry Funk, or somebody. Winning the Rumble didn't establish Taker, cause he's already been established a thousand times over.

Same here, that was the crap, when Michaels hit the ground I lost it you can all say what you want about it, but I loved it I second that. But I think at Wrestlemania, he should win the title, and retire with it. Then after he is gone, they could have a tournament of some sort to crown a new champion. It would forever cement Taker's status as a top dog in the business, and the WWF/E (since he is probablly the longest-running most consistently active wrestler on their roster). And also, it would breathe new life into the world title picture. It's a win/win situation IMO. Also, as a side note, he should show up at 'Mania with the gray gloves, gray stirrups, black tights, trench coat, hat, and the infamous GIANT tie! Great idea sir...let 'Taker go out 15-0 and with the title. He deserves it

Undertaker is 6'9".
I've had a theory for a lomg time, and that's this. Whatever year that The Undertaker finally won the Royal Rumble, that was the year he would loose at Wrestlemania. Since this year there were two firsts in one, Undertaker winning, and #30 winning, I'm thinking that this is the year that in front of 80'000 people, we're going to see something that we haven't seen before. it's possible, that like Wrestlemania 3, we may see a 15+ year legacy come to an end, and a new one begin.
Also, everyone keeps crapping on the WWE for sopposedly trying too hard to re-create Wrestlemania 3. I think It'll be more like a combination of Wrestlemania's 3 and 13. The only other time Undertaker ever wrestled a face vs face match at Wrestlemania was at wrestlemania 13, and it was in the main event for the world title against Sid, Undertaker's one and only main event, which Undertaker won. Now, If he faces Batista, It'll be his second face vs face match at Wrestlemania, and It'll be for the title in the main event. So I don't know.

That was the single best moment in the history of the WWE. Taker deserves to win that rumble after all he has done for the WWE. Even though i am a Micheals fan letting him win for the third would have just been wrong.

What are the chances that he will switch brands? Having Cena end the streak seems like something they would do nowadays.

That's it, I'm starting the campaign now. FOLEY FOR RR 08!! HE HASN'T WON IT BEFORE, SO HE NEEDS IT!!!!!!!!!!!! But will it be Mankind, Dude Love, Cactus Jack, or just plain Foley?! Cactus Jack draws #1. Before he enters the ring, Terry Funk grabs a mic and calls Dewey Foley a gutless yellow dog. As Cactus runs back to attack Funk, he's jumped by Abdullah the Butcher. Cactus is labeled a "no-show". Mankind draws #24. At some point he gets hot, takes the mask off, and becomes Mick Foley. Stevie Richards playing the part of Dude Love enters #29. StevieDude and Foley bloody and eliminate Carlito, Randy Orton, Shelton Benjamin, Batista and several other wrestlers I'm not very fond of. As StevieDude and MankindFoley get ready to square off, they instead shake hands, merge into a being of pure light, pop whatever it is in McMahon's brain that's giving us stuff like Rosie/Donald and "New" ECW, end the war, feed the homeless, house the hungry, and win the WCW TV Title. Mark it down.

I was gutted, I drew Edge, CM Punk and Big Vis's numbers outta hat and if any of them had won I would have been 60 pound richer.

Congrats to Taker.
Hopefully this doesn't mean he loses at WM.

IIRC though, wasn't Sid heel at WM 13?
