'The Undertaker's "end of an era" match from this year's WrestleMania against Triple H may really have been the end for a big time WrestleMania match featuring The Deadman. PWInsider.com is reporting that The Undertaker is not in good shape and the hip replacement he had a few years ago is badly damaged which has left him back at square one with the possibility of more surgical work down the line. Currently he is seeing specialists in New York but he is so beat up now that WWE has been flying the doctors to his home in Texas instead.
WWE would like to use Taker at January Royal Rumble, as a surprise entrant and perform a few memorable spot before being eliminated but that is far from being set in stone. As it stands there are no plans for Taker to work WrestleMania 29 and he may choose to skip the event however, WWE will make room for him should he wish to wrestle.'
If given the choice I, along with most other fans, would much rather see Taker at WrestleMania than the Royal Rumble. But of course if he's in as bad a shape as their saying then I don't believe it's worth risking his poor condition for either event. But if he is than I'd personally like to see him maybe win the Rumble match and go on to WrestleMania to obtain the World Title and retire there and then.
... and then Dolph cashes-in his "Money in the Bank" before Taker can leave the ring, wins the World championship and ends the streak. A star is born! ...
ReplyDeleteAnd what a HUGE way to make a star that would be! Ziggler will become the 'man who ended the streak' and become a very important player. Although I can't see it happening, Ziggler does need something to elevate him that bit further before cashing in.
DeleteI agree, and I know it's wishful thinking. I also agree with you that Dolph needs to be elevated more before cashing-in, which is why I'd like to see that be held off at least until WrestleMania. Maybe the feud against Cena that seems to be brewing will do that for him (I know, I can hear you laughing already!) One can dream can't he?
DeleteWell if they won't allow him to go over Orton cleanly (as he really should have) then I can't see a feud with Cena doing him any favours. If anything it'll just bury him more. He's a great talent so I hope he pulls through.
