Brock vs The Undertaker Or Not?

[Studentmac]

The forum is fixed..... and full of random messages......

last year brock came back and day 1 until now I thought everything thats happened is a set up for brock vs taker but starting to think will it be this year.

I thought brock might have got involved with the CM punk fight at royal rumble but he turned up a day later, maybe this is a set up but for next year.

Bleacher report which has never been right suggests that taker vs brock wont happen as brock is too physical for taker to handle so if they say it wont happen then its going to happen.

If taker isnt brocks opponent this year then need to think who is. HHH could come back for a fight especially after attack to vince, possibly with HHH loosing again and a set up for Taker vs brock next year but not sure they will bring HHH back to loose yet again.

CM punk vs Brock has been talked about but seems like hayman vs haymen which isnt a great story.

Miz has been targeted so it may be him.

and ryback could do with a high profile and physical match, would be a good matchup, That would make sense if CM punk is going to be tied up with rock and or cena or if we maybe get CM punk vs Taker.

But if its not taker, its not taker vs CM punk who is the other options for taker at this point, will be see him in action at all.

I could see taker coming back for the elimination chamber match vs WHC however not sure how the dolph MITB will work with that, they dont want dolph having a very short run of champion assuming he cashes in MITB before WM and facing taker and loosing, they wont wont him to cash in and loose to taker on WM, they cant have him cash in after WM.

Of course there could be the scenario that taker wins the WHC at WM and a weak undertaker looses to dolph when he cashes in MITB, it would be a way to end the streak and launch a new star which is something thats been talked about for some time but if they end the streak before a taker vs lesner revenge match I wont be impressed

[img]Right now we know Taker's going to fight CM Punk [who will loose] But Brock is a tough oppenent and a match between him and the Deadman wouldnt be that bad

[Roy Arkon]

I predict Taker Vs. Lesnar for next year's Mania, that will be awesome!
And another thing, Taker's Streak will not end in any shape or form, you can count on that!

[soulcatcher]

Yoy got that right the streak wont end. If Taker retires the streak goes with him.....there will never be another one like it

[Ed Burns]

Not.

Reports suggest WWE's been discussing Taker vs Ryback, but feel Cena's gonna be the opponent.

Here's the report I posted on the main site:

Taker’s status for Wrestlemania 30

The Undertaker appears to have been written off WWE TV for the foreseeable future after being destroyed by The Shield on last Friday’s SmackDown.
WWE officials are interested in having The Undertaker wrestle a match at this year’s SummerSlam pay-per-view.
Regarding Taker defending The Streak at WrestleMania XXX in 2014, there is already talk of Ryback getting the shot but some feel that John Cena would get the best reaction as far as the match itself goes.

As for Taker vs Brock.....I don't know. I definitely don't see it at WM30. But the above report also states WWE's interested in Taker wrestling at Summerslam. It remains to be seen whether he wrestles at another PPV this year. But if he does, I can see Taker vs Brock happening since it'd take place before WM30.

Another thing. If he is to wrestle at only one of the top four shows, it should be Survivor Series IMO. It’s where he debuted and that event has been lacking in the last several years and could use the boost a Taker match would provide to increase buyrates. Summerslam will do better than Survivor Series with or without Taker. That’s been proven in recent years. Plus, Taker's been at Summerslam more than he's been at his Anniversary show, I think as he was at Summerslam 1997 and 2010. He missed Survivor Series in 97 and 2010.

Ryback wasn't long enough in WWE to take on the Streak, he could be in the future but that's too early, unless he wins either the WWE or World Title this year and dominates the WWE this year.

As for Lesnar, why that should happen at SummerSlam or Survivor Series instead of WrestleMania? Lesnar could be a great opponent for Taker there.

[Ed Burns]

That's because Summerslam's the WWE's #2 PPV of the year behind Wrestlemania... Taker wrestling at Summerslam = a much higher buyrate number. It's all about the money. Taker/Lesnar at Summerslam is guaranteed $$$$$$$.

[Roy Arkon]

I know that but that doesn't mean it can't happen at Mania. Taker could face someone else at SummerSlam and then face Lesnar at WM.

[Ed Burns]

I still think they're positioning Cena for a Mania match against Taker.

Taker wrestling ANYWHERE is a much higher buyrate number. WWE want The Rock to wrestle at Summerslam so he might face Brock there, That'll sell that show. Survivor Series means more to Taker's career as its his anniversary show. If they don't ever plan on having Taker there anymore, then they might as well replace it because its nothing without him.

Survivor Series is Taker's Anniversary, yet it's an afterthought PPV anymore... It's sad when you think about it. It was originally WWE's #2 "A" show of the year when it started in 1987.

The problem is, it's been around longer than Taker has in WWE. They were gonna scrap it a few years ago, but fans overwhelmingly voted to keep it as Survivor Series. They don't promote like they did in year's past, and they definitely don't throw the money at it like they do the Royal Rumble, Summerslam, or Wrestlemania either. For an "A" show, it's now more of an afterthought compared to the other 3.

[Roy Arkon]

Not to fo off topic here but I heard that Survivor Series 2009 had a low buyrate number, that's when WWE wanted to scrap it. So when you think about it, it was the fans fault that it was almost scarped, the same fans who voted for keeping it.
