January 4, 20169 yr comment_5718699 I'm more curious about what The Undertaker will do after he does retire from in-ring work. I can't imagine him having any sort of talking role, or doing things out of gimmick... but I also can't see him completely walking away from pro-wrestling entirely. Maybe he does go back to the talking biker 'Taker & becomes an authority figure or something down the road.
January 5, 20169 yr comment_5718731 If Taker stays involved with WWE after he officially retires, it would most likely be in a backstage role rather than on camera. Perhaps a guy who works a bit at the Performance Center or someone who does some work with creative or maybe serve as an ambassador of some kind. He probably would retain his character the few times he comes back on camera (saving someone from a horrible fate or intimidate a heel) would most likely be used to push things along or add gravity to the angle.
January 5, 20169 yr comment_5718902 I've been trying to think of an Undertaker match I would like to see at Mania and I think it needs to be a tag of some sort. It would be easier to mix him up with some younger guys who may need the rub more. Plus you can hide him easier. Something like Dean Ambrose & Undertaker versus ???
January 5, 20169 yr comment_5718920 I could see them doing an all star match with something like Taker/Austin vs. Rock/Cena or something, but I honestly don't see them doing anything like that using most of the main roster. I don't know why people always get hung up on old guys putting a bunch of young guys over when we all know that isn't going to happen and it's not how wrestling has ever worked.
January 7, 20169 yr comment_5719313 Jericho is the safe/dumb/terrible choice. Unless they're dumb enough to do Reigns-Taker, I feel it has to be either Ambrose or Owens. No one else makes sense. Del Rio's not over enough. I could see them mistakenly thinking that Sheamus is over enough, but that would tank even harder than Wyatt did. Big Show or Kane is the kind of thing that I'm sure that they'll at least consider, but that would get booed out of the stadium. With better booking, there are many guys you could go to: Harper, Titus, Braun, Ryback, Rusev. None of them are even close right now. If it's Ambrose, it becomes the make-or-break match of his career. Top star who saves the show, or dismissed midcarder for life. If it's Owens, I feel he might have a couple extra chances, but it's got similar stakes for him as well.
January 7, 20169 yr comment_5719325 Not that the WWE would do it but IIRC Jericho was one of the guys Undertaker wanted to work a Wrestlemania with when he started to feel like he had to start producing good matches instead of his formerly typical diet of monsters. Undertaker is too old to go back to the monster match because he isn't going to be able to lift them with any consistency but I think his focus should be a spectacle match instead of "show stealer" like he was doing the last 10 years.
January 7, 20169 yr comment_5719326 Well, Cena's out. Now what do they do? Take a good long look in the mirror, realize that this day was always going to come in some form or another, and that - bad luck with injuries aside - they have no one to blame for their problems but themselves. It's a new day.
January 7, 20169 yr Author comment_5719327 I could see them thinking that an Undertaker feud with Gallows would be a way to make Gallows a top guy right off the bat and that he'd get over in losing at Wrestlemania. They'd be wrong, but I could see them thinking that.
January 7, 20169 yr comment_5719329 Been thinking about this, but they really should push A New Day to the top. What better than The Undertaker & someone like Dean Ambrose vs A New Day at WrestleMania.
January 7, 20169 yr Author comment_5719331 I could see them running New Day-Jericho as an issue to Wrestlemania. Jericho has to find two tag team partners from his era to team with him to take them all on. He finds RVD and ... someone else, I have no idea who. Maybe Booker T? Anyway, that part isn't important. They lose.
January 7, 20169 yr comment_5719338 Call me crazy but it feels like New Day lost all their steam the past few weeks with the Nickelodeon humor. Cringeworthy now.
January 8, 20169 yr comment_5719432 With Cena and Sting out, I wouldn't mind seeing Undertaker and Kurt Angle one more time if he's done with TNA by that point.
January 8, 20169 yr comment_5719462 man I fucking *loved* their No Way Out '06 match but I can't imagine them having a good match in 2015. Would be nice to see Angle get a proper sendoff from WWE though.

At least makes for potentially entertaining promos between the sides.
