Remember the days when it was well known way in advance what would happen. Like Edge/Taker and Shawn/Taker. Everyone knew those matches would happen at Wrestlemania.

Anyway, I’m all for Cena/Taker, odd yes, but it would be interesting.

Can WM26 be another triple threat??? (i hope not)…..just wondering….or Fatal four…heheh
hmmmmmm

It`s a done deal Cena will take the jobber deal in this match! And maybe take a heel turn ?

Cena R.I.P

lol …. The Undertaker could FART and whiff it towards HORNSWOGGLE & the wrestling community would start freaking out saying that Hornswoggle will be his opponent at Wrestlemania 26 …. Good lord … LMAO

Talk about momentum! The Undertaker has basically become Wrestlemania himself …. lol

Either way I’m excited to see 18-0 ……

It’s 18-0, baby!!!

now I am getting nervous abt this match since we all know that Cena lost last WM so I doubt whether WWE will let him to play jobbers role again or not.Also it doesn’t make any sense to put Super Cena over Phenom as he’s already a popular superstar and don’t need push like that so if he face our Deadman at WM then R.I.P Super Cena…18-0 is coming.

I think it’s a little too precipitated to talk about WM at this time of the year (we were absolutely clueless last year as to who Taker’s opponent would be for WM25), but if this is to be taken seriously then it makes me slightly happier. I couldn’t care less about Jericho to be honest. I know most of you guys approve of his feud against ‘Taker but to me Jericho represents most of the things I don’t like about professional wrestling (and I’m NOT talking about the man himself–I’m talking about his persona). I admit he is a good asset for the WWE, but, I don’t know, he annoys me. I don’t want to see ‘Taker taking on such a clownish character. Once again, I don’t have anything objective to say against Jericho–it’s just a personal aversion to the character.

Cena, on the other hand, doesn’t annoy me–I just plain don’t like him. And that’s why I would like to see ‘Taker beat the bejesus out of him. I don’t know if WM26 will be worth such an important bout, but one thing I know for sure is that ‘Taker can’t retire without giving the punk a lesson, at the grandest stage of ‘em all.

If it’s Cena vs Taker at WM 26, I’m all for it. Hopefully it’ll be for the WWE Championship.

It will be Cena or Jericho for sure and actually it was my prediction that it would one or the other in for WM 26 and 27 just didn’t know which in particualr would come first that would only leave one more victim before taker becomes 20-0 I believe that is how Vince got put into the equation seeing that there is so much specualtion that taker will retire after he becomes 20-0…what better people to beat and add on the long list of souls taker has laid to rest at WM. The self-proclaimed best at what he does, the superhero and Hulk Hogan of this generation, and the one and only man who could be as powerful as taker in his own right.

I don’t think Taker will face Cena at Mania 26. Here’s why:

* I see Taker holding the title till beyond Mania, looking at the way he’s being made to retain it. He should carry the title across at least 2 “major” PPVs including Mania, so there wouldn’t be any point in him losing it before or at Mania.

* If Taker is the champ at Mania, then his match with Cena has to be a title match, which means that Cena should get drafted to Smackdown before it or win the Rumble. He’s not getting drafted to Smackdown since he’s the top face of Raw, and since Smackdown already has enough main-eventers like Taker, Batista, Jericho, Mysterio. He’s definitely not winning the Rumble again so soon, because it could be Edge or Jeff Hardy who wins it. Moreover, this time, I see the Rumble winner winning the belt at Mania because that’s not happened since the last 2 years and if it does not happen again, then Rumble will not remain as significant as it was earlier. Cena can’t beat Taker at Mania because the streak can’t end.

* Cena might lose his belt to Michaels at Survivor series. Who knows Michaels might pin HHH for the win, which will then start a Michaels vs HHH feud culminating at Mania. At Mania, HHH will win the belt from Michaels for a short reign, after which he will drop it to Orton or Cena. Meanwhile, since Cena is removed from the title scene, he will focus on the brand-supremacy match between Raw and Smackdown, with Batista representing Smackdown. Since their feud was left unfinished after their Summerslam 2008 match, their fans want to see it culminate. This time, Cena might win.

Andres – while Jericho might not have a very respectable character right now, the WWE can definitely work on making him look strong in the next few months until Mania. A feud will Taker will ensure that happens. Rest assured Jericho will give a good match and might be able to create a good story also – in the last few Manias, Taker’s rivalries have had good stories and build-ups heading into the match. I don’t see that happening with Cena because in my estimation, his story-telling capability is zero.

I also believe that the tombstone had some significance, however it could simply be that the deal was – Cena gets the pin, but Taker takes out Cena, that way they both get big spots at the end of the match, it could well just all fade away. Taker is pretty much a tweener that leans towards being a face so anyone is fair game as far as the phenom is concerned

me persoanlly, i want taker vs mcmahon, so the phenom can get that win over vince that he as not done yet.

either way do, vince, jericho, cena….it doesn’t matter

18-0 baby!

undertaker is wrestlemania.

18-0.

And Mayank Shridhar, me personally i still think that Taker vs Cena should happen, and i think that their is a bigger chance of that happening because of what happened at RAW, and i think that if Vince and creative want that match to happen it will happen regardless if taker have the belt or not, or if cena won the rumble or is still on RAW…………but we have to wait and see if our prediction rings true. lol.

taker de immortal!!!

if its going to be Cena v Undertaker, then I imagine one of them would have to drop the title, they wont unify them and if they made it non title then there would be no other main title matches at wrestlemania. This is fine but with Cena being WWE’s golden boy i think it’d be taker that drops the title? if thats the case then cool, as long as Taker wins the rumble then challenges cena.

Actually, Cena won the world heavyweight championship at Wrestlemania 25. He lost at Wrestlemania 24.

I also like Mayanks theory behind why the two cannot face one another. I find it funny how you mention Jeff Hardy as a potential Rumble winner when he isn’t even with the company. I think there is one thing you may have overlooked.

The royal rumble winner could challenge the Raw champion, which means if Cena actually lost the title to say Shawn Michaels, that leaves him free to do whatever and somebody else like CM Punk could win the rumble and challenge the Raw champion, or even Jericho could challenge the Raw champion if he would win the rumble.

But either way, it’s nearly impossible to predict Taker’s wrestlemania opponent on actions now because it would be silly for Cena to put off being angry until seven weeks before the big ppv. With Edge it was a different story because Taker had to overcome obsticles to get to him. Taker is the champ now so people have to chase after him. Taker would have to do something to Cena after No Way Out to provoke their rivalry assuming Cena is not champion and Taker is.

With Jericho is might not be as hard to predict because he had his match with Taker now, faces Big Show next month to break their partnership, Jericho wins the rumble, has some filler feud at No Way Out, then off to wrestlemania against Taker. But in the WWE anything can happen so we shall see.

You got four points there, so:
1. Angle won at No Mercy 2000 and kept the title in a weird way but lost it to Rock at No Way Out 2001. We still don’t know how the feud will be played out, even in face vs face costing each other something actually happens.

2. That’s why it is more than likely for Taker to lose his title rather than Cena losing his title. And don’t worry, at Wrestlemania, brands mean nothing. If not, how did Taker vs HBK, Orton vs HHH, and Cena vs Edge vs Show happen this year?

3. We haven’t seen Survivor Series yet. The feud could also start with Rey-Batista fashion, no? HHH and HBK costed each other their opportunity and the rest of the story goes downhill.

4. I’m not against Taker vs Jericho at WM 26, but since their singles match has been done before, I hope it will be a gimmick match where their feud ends, whether title is involved or not..

All in all, whether it’s Cena or Jericho be sure of two things:
1. It would be epic.
2. It would be eighteen and zero.

Hey I would like to see Undertaker face Cena more than see Taker face Jericho.

i think that cena wil be undertaker’s opponent at mania26 but it will not be the main event!!edge will win the rumble and he will face jericko for a title at main event!!the other title match will be undertaker vs cena….and i think that the undertaker will drop his title to jericho this sunday and he will go for cena’s title..then edge will return and we have edge vs jericko and taker vs cena!!hahaha i am very very clever!! ;)

I’m all for Jerico vs Taker at Mainia because i think it will bring the better match but i would like to see cena get his ass beat and loose for once

Taker vs HBK was non-title – it was the regular brand supremacy match (which I’m saying will be between Cena and Batista next year). Orton vs HHH happened because HHH had kind of moved to Raw anyways. Taker will not move to Raw, so I don’t see him winning the Rumble and challenging Cena. If one of them have the title during Mania, it has to be a title match – that is why I don’t see it happening unless Cena moves to Smackdown. But then who will be the Raw top face?

Does no one remember Vengeance several years ago. Cena got stomped by Taker then. I’m all for a Cena Taker match at WM, but personally I’d prefer a Jericho Taker match.

I think the storytelling for the Taker/Jericho has already started and it looks promising as well. Jericho’s comments like “Undertaker, you’ve been brainwashing these parasites (the crowd) for twenty years … I am the true phenom (etc.),” Stealing away his title etc. It would be interesting to see how this storyline progresses.

Adding to your point Kingpin, remember during 2007, the match between Taker/Cena/Batista/Michaels vs MVP

/Mr. Kennedy/Randy Orton/Edge before No Way Out 2007. Shawn Michaels made a tag without Taker’s consent and after the end of the match, Taker chokeslammed Michaels. But the actual Michaels/Taker WM match took place two years later. Probably, this Cena/Taker angle might frutify in a WM match in 2011. Or it may also be teaser for WM 26. We will know in the following weeks after Survivor Series.

I think the long title reign of Taker is right now. So he will be the WHC atleast till WM 26. Edge has personally in an interview has said that he might be able to make it only after WM 26, so my money is on Chris Jericho as far as the Royal Rumble winner is concerned. There are two reasons for this. 1. Chris Jericho’s gimmick is more of a bragger. So a victory at Rumble would enable him to flaunt more about himself. This might lead to an intense rivalry between Jericho and Taker. 2. After our Taker won RR at 2007 and Rey Mysterio the previous year (2006) there has been no wrestler from the Smackdown Roster who had won the Rumble for the past two years. So I think this time it will be Chris Jericho.

Therefore, Taker’s Tombstone to Cena on this episode’s Raw 80% was meant for Taker to get the last laugh in this big match. Plus he maintains his keyfabe of whopping a** of those who mess with him. Although I don’t count out the possibility of a Taker/Cena rivalry. It has a 30% chance as well. As of the near future, Taker and Jericho rivalry might momentarily deviate. JeriShow might break up and at meanwhile Taker might successfuly defend his title against Kane and Batista in TLC 09 and RR 2010 respectively. Jericho might win the Rumble, and Taker and Jericho might continue a new feud that would make Jericho say words like “I am the best in the world ….. bla bla bla …… When I beat you, you must retire for good and accept that you have brainwashed these hypocrites (the crowd)” Although at WM 26 Taker will emerge victorious.

alex remember last year a heel wrestler won the rumble…so this year a face superstar (i think)will win the rumble!!i don’t know but i think a cena vs taker match is better than chris vs taker!!

SLow can keep switching brands. My point is that Cena or Taker will probably not switch brands. So doing a title match between them is difficult. Edge can also win the title of another brand for a few days – it suits his opportunistic character. But it doesn’t suit Cena or Taker if you want to give them a longer reign.

Taker and Michaels have had much more history than that – remember their first hell in a cell, remember the casket match where Michaels got injured and out of the ring for 4 years, then their physical and verbal confrontations in the 2007/08/09 Rumbles – I don’t think Taker and Cena have anything going in that sense. Its just that Taker makes rare Raw appearances, and so whenever he does it, he will get his due respect and will be the last/ only man standing. Moreover Cena tagged himself in when Taker was on fire in the ring, so that would’ve made Taker angry. I think that’s end of story.

YOU GUYS ARE LIKE LITTLE GIRLS, OHHHHH THE UNDERTAKERS PRECIOUS PRECIOUS STREAK CANT END BOOOHOOOHOO. END THE DARN STREAK ALREADY!!!

Yeah, didn’t you know that all these guys are wrong and Taker is actually going to face Ted Dibiase who is going to end the streak? Or how about Santino Marella or Beth Phoenix ending the streak? Dummy.

Do not believe dirt sheets!!!

Wait till they come out on RAW or SD! and say: I want to end the streak!!

I agree Cena could be the one and with the RAW special next week something could start there, but don’t believe these guys please!!!

Here’s an example about how they work:

“Taker vs Hornswoggle at WM 26 !!!

The latest rumour among creatives is that due to Taker’s health his match at WM should be an easy one, some sources report that Vince is high on a Taker/Hornswoggle feud that could start right after the leprechaun destroys DX at the Rumble. HOWEVER, nothing is 100% secure at the moment AND PLANS CAN ALWAYS CHANGE BETWEEN NOW AND THEN.”

That’s a typical report about who could be Mr number 18.

yould all be shocked if taker faced dibiase wouldnt you, to be fair if dibiase ended takers career it would be so cool and quite fitting, you know ted dibiase sr brought him in dibiase jr took him out would be a great feud if you think about it, been saying it would be cena at mania tho, cenas only lost once at wrestlemania

And that sounds like a superb rivalry for wm26 I would definately like to see that happen for wm 26, Who agrees with me.?

Hombre Muerto wrote:

Here’s how I put it to my friend earlier in the week. Amongst all the rumors that get circulated about who Taker is going to face at Wrestlemania one of them is true. Of all the rumors where Taker will face Jericho, Cena, Dibiasi (never count it out), Cena, or Vince….one of them will be Taker’s wrestlemania opponent. Only time will tell.

If this match does happen one of them will have to become heel because cena was a pretty good heel when he had the rivalry with the undertaker back in 2002 or 2003 and we all remember undertakers heel days back when he was with the ministry and the biker gimick. Another suggestion could be heel hhh again.

Mayank, Jen, Andres. I would like to know do you all believe that Cena will eventually be on the list of superstars Taker has defeated at Wrestlemania?

I hope to see Taker against whiever who can make another epic fight, so it could be better Cena, althoght thinking Taker vs Hardy returning at Royal Rumble could be even better.

Well I thought it would be Jericho against our man Taker at WM, but still the same fate will be held for John Cena he will Rest in Peace!

prototonic wrote:

alex remember last year a heel wrestler won the rumble…so this year a face superstar (i think)will win the rumble!!i don’t know but i think a cena vs taker match is better than chris vs taker!!

Yes I agree with your logic Prototonic. But the problem is if the winner is going to be a babyface then who would it be? Let’s take Raw and Smackdown together. Raw has — Cena, Michaels, Triple H as the main event baby faces. They have all won it once.

FYI apart from rarities like Michaels, Hogan, and Austin, WWE maintains this tradition of pusing one wrestler per year to win the Royal Rumble.

Take the Smackdown Roster, Taker, Mysterio, errr…. there is no other person else right now who are main-event face wrestlers in the Smackdown Roster. Moreover, both men have won the Rumble once. Therefore chances are, if a Smackdown superstar is to win the RR 2010 then it should either be a returning face superstar or a mid-carder pushed to the main event or a heel main eventer who has never won the Royal Rumble before.

Take John Morrison, he has just been given a push so it would atleast take 6 months for him to compete at the main event. Finlay, absolutely no chance although he is a fine wrestler. Dolf Ziggler! Who in the blue hell is Dolf Ziggler (lol!). That leaves with Batista or Chris Jericho. Batista already won it once. Hence it can only be Chris Jericho.

If you talk about some returning superstar. Edge will return only after WM 26 around the time when Batista returned this year. So that leaves with only one option, which is Jeff Hardy!

Therefore, in case if WWE considers a combination of both your logic and my logic then it must be Taker vs Hardy at WM 26, which in my opinion won’t be a bad match. In case the WWE is going to go by your logic, which is to push a face wrestler, who knows it might be even ECW’s Christian! Don’t count out Kane as well, in case the WWE wants to push a wrestler who the audience would have least expected it. But it case if WWE go by my logic then it must be none other than Chris Jericho.

It’s either Cena or Jericho that’s for sure.
This could maybe lead to a triple threat between the three?
It all depends on where the unified tag team is heading.. Jerishow if you don’t know. We’ll see Sunday.

The Undertaker vs. Chris Jericho!

or The Undertaker vs. John Cena.

is the WWE that sure that Edge will be returning in time for Wrestlemania? i’m not complaining. i’m eager for his return, but i really, really have my heart set on Taker and Jericho.

i think they could pull off a better match then Taker and Cena could.

Jericho would be something completely fresh and new.

It would be a waste because the streak can never be created again. The only person who can end the streak is somebody who has a greater streak at Mania or who “can have” a greater streak in the future. Such a person does not exist because there is no guarantee that Dibiase wil last 20 years in the business and that he will stick to WWE for 20 years instead of moving on to TNA or any other. So the bottom-line is that the streak will never end – it will NOT be fitting for Dibiase or any other to end it. Why waste something that you spent 2 decades to create? The WWE needs one name in history to be quoted as the most “dominant”, which “always delivered when it mattered the most” and there is no better character for it than the dead-man who cannot be hurt, and he also deserves this respect for his locker-room leadership. I don’t think he will ever lose at Mania.

To me it is like this. Mcmahon 35 % Jericho 15 % Cena 50 % chance.

I mean come on guys Andre vs Hogan 2! Andre has to win this time. Plus this time Andre will be cheered :)

And Taker will probably face Jericho at TLC or the Rumble one on one in a big time match.

I think you guys forget Elimination chamber ppv. And of course, i want cena vs taker at wm26 rather than jericho vs taker at wm26. And i think cena vs taker at wm26 can be happening in these ways:

1. Cena wins the rumble and challenge taker for whc title at mania.

2. Cena wins no1 contender elimination chamber match and challenge taker for whc title at mania.

About you people that cena should turn heel in order to make takes vs cena at wm26: i think cena should turn heel after he faces taker at wm 26. Because a heel is meant to be booed. And it will reduce the thrill and excitement if cena turns heel before he faces taker at wm 26.

Who is to say that he can’t get a contract signed again and return ;-) ? But that is the last name on my list. I think Edge will return and win it. Hardy was a potential winner too. And if he ever comes back in the future, he might be pushed to win it.

alex you are very clever!!hmmm maybe jericko wil win the rumble…but what do you think about the big show….or edge(if he return)????

SLow will not win the Rumble. His losing streak at Mania and in triple threat championship matches ensures he is not winning the title anytime soon.

WHC The Undertaker Vs WWE Champion John Cena at WM26? Sounds like something but I don’t know.

I have been saying Cena Vs. Taker @ WM 26 Since WM 25. I knew when Cena tagged himself into the match there was going to be consequences. I’m sure they will come up with some storyline that will eventually pit Taker Vs. Cena for WM 26. It will definatley be a great match, but not as good as Taker vs. Shawn.

Agree with Mayank on this one.

Some people have been saying that the honor to end The Streak should go to a young upcoming superstar who will be big in the future like John Morrison, CM Punk, Ted DiBiase Jr, Cody Rhodes, Evan Bourne, The Miz, Dolph Ziggler, or Kofi Kingston…but is it right to do so?

How do you know the young upcoming superstar would last longer than Undertaker in WWE? A lot of fans believed Kennedy would be a future HOF-er and legend, but look where he is now. There’s no guara*damn*tee at all that the young upcoming superstar would be that great. Not to mention they got no credibility at the moment, and defeating Taker’s Streak will always overshadow every damn thing they did in their career.

And I believe, no matter how people cheer for it, Ted DiBiase Jr isn’t nowhere near the class on ending The Streak after a match for ages.

That would waste one title match. Ideally the WWE would want to put both titles for both brands in 2 different matches to draw more money and viewership. Even if these 2 fight at Mania, only one of them will be holding the title at max.

Sounds like some of SML’s misinformation. G-d only knows, but the fans want to see Jericho-Undertaker. The two have never feuded despite being in the WWE together for the last 10-years. Hopefully, JR will get better soon, and he can clear up all the confusion surrounding WM 26?

the tombstone to cena was simply because he tagged himself in the match and taker never got the tag back because chewbacca was to busy distracting him, how about this we let the wwe decide because we cant make the decision anyways and leave it to a surprise because it could be a number of people that taker fights at wrestlemania and whos to say he makes it, look at edge all he did was jump and he took a nasty injury just leave it to a surprise and dont ruin it for yourselfs :)

Yet again sounds like another WWE attempt to re hash a feud thats already happened in the past………….please do something different and give Taker a new face to wrestle.

See, my problem with Jericho is essentially this: who the hell is he to claim that he is the true Phenom? I know, I know, that’s pretty much the point of this feud, but what kind of character claims, on no grounds, that he is the true Phenom? One that doesn’t deserve to take on the Undertaker. If he were something besides a big-mouthed clown, if he didn’t pretend to be all grand and intimidating, I would like him. But not only does he talk way too much, he pretends he has to be taken seriously. I really liked his older personas, but this “heel” attitude of his just doesn’t suit him. Especially since he doesn’t really mean business.

At least Edge had the decency to show, in a subtle way, that he knew he was nothing but a big fat loser. But Jericho, every time he comes out, he makes this “I’m big and serious and scary” face that pisses me off a bit.

Anyway, that’s my two cents. I don’t mean to persuade anyone. I would like to like Jericho’s current persona, but I just can’t.

Mayank, Jen, Andres. I would like to know do you all believe that Cena will eventually be on the list of superstars Taker has defeated at Wrestlemania?

It’s bound to happen. It really has to occur at some point. I would be really pissed if Cena didn’t get to learn the greatest lesson of humbleness a wrestler can be taught. That is, of course, being obliterated by the Undertaker at WrestleMania.

its time to unify the tittles again and undertaker to hold both titles that would be awesome

Very good points from lot of views, But yes we all want to see Jericho-Taker but i still think hes not enough for them have at WM. Yes at say Armageddon or Rumble fine. Taker has been giving biger names & stacks of bigger stars like Batista or Shawn do the job. Hes streak geting bigger so draws more higher level stars. Sorry Jericho great atichtle but hes stardom isn’t enough. So yea i think Cena should work. We all wanted Austin to the Rock or even Bret Hart face Taker during the 90’s so yea i diffenetly sould have Cena-Taker…thats no brainer but if not, why not (Rey Mysterio). yea i undertstand try have story between then but come on. They can tihnk of something. be sides why do they alawya half to have bad vs good. like mixture ofm both bad vs bad to good vs dood. besides little though ass Rey. I really really think be sweet like david vs giants. but whatever…

its only best for me to ask all my true undertaker fans since we know best :WHAT IS UNDERTAKERS BEST MATCH OF ALL TIME AND GREAATEST RIVAL EVER

alex you are very clever!!hmmm maybe jericko wil win the rumble…but what do you think about the big show….or edge(if he return)????

Prototonic,

Well, Big Show has been a main-event embarrassment. He is just included in big matches to intimidate people and throw people around with his strength advantage. But he will never be given the push as a main-event winner. He might be shown as the stronger opponent by KO Punching everyone but he never wins big matches.

Whether Edge would win the Rumble if he returns, well … there are two sides. Edge has some scores to settle with Jericho for Jericho’s hurting comments on Edge’s Injury. So one possibility is, Jericho vs Edge for the WHC. If this is to happen, then for sure Edge will make a surprize return at the Rumble and win the match. On the other hand, Taker might drop the title to Jericho at Royal Rumble or at Elimination Chamber 2010. The other possibility is Jericho vs Edge in a normal revenge match like Jeff Hardy vs Matt Hardy. If this is the possibility then it means that Taker might put his WHC and the Streak on the line against Cena or John Morrison.

An Edge vs Taker is not possible, even if Edge wins the Rumble and Taker retains the WHC till Tables, Ladders, and Chairs, because as per Taker’s WM streak record it is one wrestler per Wrestle Mania. It’s a count of the number of victims per WM match for the undertaker. If Taker’s streak is 17-0, then it means (as per storyline) that Taker has taken 17 souls at WM. Edge has already lost to Taker at WM 24, so the possibility of an Edge vs Taker is impossible even if Taker turns heel in the forthcomming weeks.

Ok two things : Calm Down!..secondly,I don’t quite Co-Exist with Some of the above Statements. You all Don’t See Cena in Taker’s list at mania. Well Cena is a major wrestler in wwe…ppl who don’t watch it know about him, whether you like him, hate him or obsessed to death with him.

Then how on Earth!…did Batista get on the list…to be very honest i find Cena better than Batista(imp, Batista’s just a freak…just take a look at his real life…and his in ring abilities these days…total Crap..good thing Matt hardy did a good sell job on SD, cause if not, it would’ve been an utter Failure!!). I’ve been guessing taker’s opponents at mania since 2004 and i always guessed right, even from 5 months before the event…like 2005, and 2007 and this as for this year..wow i’ve been telling it to myself for years!. Well you all have your points…some i like and some i don’t like. Like For example The Mayank Theory about HBK feuding with HHH and loosing at mania….Man if all the Tag teams in wrestling have to dissolve…it would then obviously seem that with every new tag formed…one might say ”ahh in about 5 years time they’ll fight against each other”..it gets boring after some while trust me….not with all tags..but just plain boring. Yeah i do believe michaels will win the title but his feud with hhh will definitely be a face vs face….but i do also believe that hhh will loose at him at mania if it happens( even though i prefer HHH over HBK).

Why do i see a Cena Taker match?..I’ll tell you all why…Things always start with a small dose. Does anyone own a TV here…does anyone go watch Monday nights?!???..Well if you saw the Triple Tag match last monday and obviously you all know that Undertaker Tombstoned the Oils out of Cena’s Head after the match..That signifies something…After he’s done with JeriShow …Cena
s Next!. Cena fought taker really just a number of times and I think it would be cool to have these two fight at mania. Why not?!.. The guy beat HHH and HBK at Mania, even though they’re 100 times better than him. WWE will pull out this match I’m certain of it. Now this is just my opinion..but i get the impression you all underestimate cena..yeah yeah he does suck and YESS He has a Story Telling Capability resultant of A ZEROOOO!..But good god. look at his merchandise..look at his fans and haters…look at the good match these two can do!. They Give Vince hahahahahaha Vince to face Taker at mania…now that’s where you all need to get fired to. Not a Cena vs Taker match..but this is just plain simple me..anyone who can convince me that it’s not reality..step ahead, I’ll be more than happy to Read your comments :)

Well he was the superstar of the year 2008 (Slammy), so that’s enough for a start ;-) ? He had the feud of the year last year with Michaels (although I preferred Taker vs Edge as the best feud).

Its interesting that you bring John Morrison into the picture. Although I think he’s not ready to face Taker at Mania yet. I think Jericho would be better than him. As for Edge – the question remains – would he be face or heel when he returns? He could return as face but the crowd boos might turn him to heel in a few weeks ;-)

Mayank, it was Taker vs Edge which was voted as Feud of The Year, not HBK vs Jericho!

I’m talking about PWI – they ranked Jericho vs HBK as feud of the year.

Listen folks, Undertaker’s opponent as WM is neither Jericho, or Cena. there were several people who made good observations in regard to the tombstone to Cena,. That doesn’t neccesitate an immediate storyline. Just like the HBK/Undertaker glimpse at the RR a few years back. I have posted on this site who Undertaker will face at WM and that being the ROCK!!!! Like the point someone made has ANYONE BEEN paying attention? When THE ROCK did the promo for the SMACKDOWN Anniversery he said there will be a NEW ERA on Smackdown, and virtually said he was afraid of the Undertaker!!!! Now, The Rock has something in the works for Smackdown, and is working with McMahon. The Rock is still a hugely popular and a ROCK v Undertaker WM would be off the CHARTS. The Rock turning heel and working with Mr. McMahon against the Undertaker as a possible storyline.

These DirtSheets that come out really piss me off. The latest mentions that Undertaker will lose the Title at the Rumble to Batista to all people, and lose it cleanly. That would make it twice that Taker would lose cleanly to Batista and gives Batista the upper hand. Unless Jericho or The Rock somehow interferes.

But, I predict that the Rock will be the last one to enter in the Rumble and win. Taker still being Champion at the Rumble. There are no real superstars in the WWE that are of Undertakers caliber, and I just don’t see Undertaker losing at the Rumble, in argument to those how can undertaker lose at the rumble then challenge cena for the championship at WM? Unless Undertaker wins the elimination chamber, and whoever wins the rumble picks the raw champion. They aren’t going to have Undertaker in another elimination chamber so soon after coming back from injury. Plus, Undertaker has not been champion for very long and the championship matches he has been in have been 3 way’s, doing this to protect him for WM.

Last years elimination match in which Undertaker destroyed all the others and even gave HHH all his finishers and still couldn’t win, and loses to the worst finishing move ever in wrestling. I sill say it is the Rock, and I still say that Orton will come to Smackdown and face the Undertaker and be put out by the Hell’s Gate and leave for awhile. Anyhow, don’t count on a Cena/Undertaker or Jericho/Undertaker WM. On one last not, they need to at least before Taker retires bring Kurt Angle back and have Angle/Undertaker WM as there has never been any finality between those two, and has never face the dark persona personality.

They should just make it a handicap match; ‘Taker vs. Vince, Jericho, and Cena. An easy 18-0 imo. ;)

Yeah, I knew that. But WWE voted Taker vs Edge as FOTY at their magazine. PWI have been Shawn Michaels’ mark his entire career.

I doubt if the Rock is coming back only to lose when he’s not working full time with the WWE. I thought he had a full-time acting schedule. Moreover, if he comes, then he will probably have a match with John Cena or Shawn Michaels because he had said earlier that he wanted to face them once. But, I don’t think he’s coming in the ring for action. As for his promos – he always keeps doing promos for the WWE when required – they don’t signify that he is returning.

Yes Mayank, I too agree this idea is crazy on my part. Yes he still needs more push to really focus on the title. But I wrote this because I had this crazy idea. John Morrison is often being compared with Shawn Michaels by announcers. Plus, the way in which Dolf Ziggler continues to assault Morrison, I wouldn’t be surprized if Morrison drops the title to Ziggler at TLC 09. Following Smackdown matches might also have Morrisson losing to Ziggler. Then comes the Rumble, with Morrison on a losing streak, but he wins the Rumble by surprize.

Then a storyline might start with Morrison making promos like how he had been a Shawn Michaels fan from his childhood, and how he was upset to see Taker beat Michaels at WM 25. Then Taker might start bullying Morrison as a Tweener. Then Morrison might retaliate.

Hence at WM 26, Taker vs Morrison. Morrison would give it all, he would give his best shots to Taker but Taker would emerge victorious and retain the streak. This might give Morrison a push, just as it has been in the cases of Orton or Edge.

My other problem with Cena being Taker’s opponent is this – what claim will he put as to why he can end the streak?

Each year, Taker’s opponents have been guys who have made some kind of “believable” claim as to why they can end the streak (based on statistics or something similar) to create the story and build-up so that a lot of fans genuinely start thinking that the streak will end.

* Randy Orton claimed to be the legend killer and so he will kill the biggest legend
* Mark Henry claimed to be the world’s strongest man and said that Taker will be weak in front of him
* Batista claimed that he had never lost the title (he had dropped it once due to injury but never lost in a match)
* Edge claimed that he had never been pinned at Mania and that he had never lost to Taker in singles’ competition
* Shawn claimed that he had never lost to Taker in singles’ competition

What will Cena claim? That he sells more merchandize than Taker, or that he has a lot of kiddie-fans and girl-fans, or that he has been pinned at Mania before by Orton (in the triple-threat match with Orton and HHH, both of whom Taker has defeated at Mania) or that he has lost to Taker before in singles’ competition multiple times earlier? I don’t see any genuine claim that Cena can put forth as to why he can end the streak. Jericho might be able to put a claim though, saying that Taker has never defeated him in singles’ competition. I don’t remember if Taker has faced him in singles’ matches before, but if it was years ago in his bad-a** or big evil persona, then the WWE can forget it (true to their nature) and say that it has never happened.

Fine if you think that go on rajah and there’s a headling on Early Wrestlemania 26 plans and it says that they’re planning for a Cena-Taker match which was seeded one week ago when Taker Tombstoned Cena, and btw…maybe Cena won’t Bring up anything to Taker..who knows. But Tell me this…we’ve seen undertaker Jericho on SD, Survivor Series(including Big Show) and we’ll be seeing Taker vs jericho Again…When was the last time we saw a Cena-Taker match? :2006! and on ppv..: 200 and Damn 3!. Idk if you get it but i’d Rather see a match that hasn’t been done for some time, rather than a match that has already been done 2 or 3 times just 4 months before wrestlemania(excuse my English cause i know how Stingy things get around here about the language :P).

So yeah I Agree with your opinion but I’d rather see Taker/Cena. Now as always you’ll insist on your point but let’s say for the benefit of the doubt you’re right..Ok it’s Y2J-Taker at mania..if it happens, I’ll be the first one to come here and say you were right!..but it’s Cena-Taker…then i guess some people might have to gobble their opinion back…Mayank i think it’s the reason why WWE made Taker have a little feud with Jericho at this time of the year and not Wrestlemania, and why do you think they booked Taker Tombstoning Cena on Raw?….I think wwe wants to send a message to the fans and leaves that message boiling into their minds until wrestlemania comes, Remember In WWE alll the questions are answered in the end..but i value your opinion and it made alot of sense, Hell Y2J is my 9th Favourite Wrestler…but it’s how i want things and it’s how things will probably go..but that’s me..you know :)..

There are many websites which have reported it, not just Rajah – that is why we have put this article on this website too. And all of them are claiming that the seeds for it were sown when Taker tombstoned Cena. But it is far from possible right now. A lot of websites have also reported Taker vs Jericho, Taker vs Vince – how many of them will you believe? They are the same websites which predicted that Taker or HHH will win the 2008 Rumble but it was a returning Cena who won it, and the same websites which predicted that Taker will not lose to Edge in the TLC match but he did lose and he did get banished.

I don’t think you realize that there are too many things which need to fall in place for Taker vs Cena at Mania 26 – 1) if they both stay on their brands, then both of them have to lose their titles and do a brand supremacy match – I don’t think both of them will drop their belts by Mania (at least one of them would hold on to his belt until Mania), 2) if they both stay on their brands and stay as champions, then there is no way the match is happening because the WWE would want to book separate title matches for both the belts to draw more, 3) if one of them stays as champion till Mania, then the other one perhaps has to win the Rumble and switch brands – something which I don’t see happening (Taker is definitely not leaving Smackdown, and Cena is not coming to Smackdown otherwise he would’ve lost to Orton in the iron man match – moreover, since they have recently won the Rumble, I don’t think they will win it immediately again).

Blame me for insisting on my point now.

Lastly, why wouldn’t Cena bring up something to Taker with regards to why he should end the streak? The streak is a major part of the business and money-making/ booking for Mania. Of course he would have to put at least one claim, but he doesn’t have any such claims to make as to why he can end the streak.

i think it’s the reason why WWE made Taker have a little feud with Jericho at this time of the year and not Wrestlemania, and why do you think they booked Taker Tombstoning Cena on Raw?….

The tombstone was delivered because Cena tagged himself in without Taker’s permission when Taker was in control of the match in the ring. Taker showed him who is the boss and he had to be the last man standing, considering that he makes only rare Raw appearances.

I don’t think the feud with Jericho is a filler because he has not yet had a singles’ match with Jericho on PPV, and I think the filler for the time being is the feud with Batista because it has surfaced up. The feud with Jericho is still pending. All said and done, Jericho has better wrestling skill than Cena so I expect him to give a better match with Taker at Mania. Yeah Taker vs Cena will be a bigger match but I would be disappointed if Cena doesn’t wrestle well in it – and if he gives that stupid 5 knuckle shuckle to Taker, that’s it I’m turning off my TV!

Hmm you always manage to convince me loool..Just don’t turn of your TV, Well there’s only way to find out!..Well if they won’t find Cena an opponent for mania…They can ask me :P….would you root for me :D ? lool

Apart joking ok fine…you’re right but, something tells me Y2J isn’t gonna be taker’s opponent..even though i prefer him..

And no i’m not insisting my point since i stopped insisting on it at this moment lol :D, thanks for your comments though XD

Really my head is xploded.. i need to see taker vs >>> sting , goldberg , will it happen someday????
