Re: Am I the only one who thinks Undertaker doesn't wanna face CM Punk?
The Streak isn't that great when you see that Undertaker never faced Hogan, Hart, Austin, Rock or Cena for the streak. All these guys were top dogs and never went toe to toe with Taker in Wrestlemania. Also the dream match between him and Sting and much talked about Lesnar/Taker, will probably never happen.
Personally I do not want to see Punk and Taker, it doesn't work for me, especially when they can hold a big money match of Lesnar/Taker. Punk needs to main event in WM and Punk/Cena/Rock should happen instead

It's not Taker's fault Vince never intended to book him with WWE Icons. It's Vince's fault.
Besides, Taker/Sting didn't happen cause Sting preferred to face Jeff (in the worst match of the early 21st century), so it's also hardly Taker's fault.
And Taker/Lesnar doesn't happen because Hunter wants a rematch after being crushed by the crowds at Summerslam last year. Again, not Taker's fault.

Re: Am I the only one who thinks Undertaker doesn't wanna face CM Punk?
I can´t see Punk being a threat right now. If Punk would have some successfull years from now he would be, but then Taker already for sure retired.
Jericho would be a great opponent if he was back full time.
Lesnar is a great threat against the streak because of his viciousness. Cena is the face of the company and one of the biggest names in the business of all time(marks don´t come with youst stupid shit that he´s not because he is either we like it or not). Rock is one of the goats.
Also remember that the streak wasn´t that relevant until HBK wm25.

Undertaker never faced those guys at WM because when they were around the streak wasn’t a big selling point for WM yet. Back when Hogan was full time when Taker was there Undertaker was only 2-0 the streak didn’t mean jack shit then. Taker wasn’t really a big main eventer until 1997 after WM 13. The streak didn’t become a selling point for WM until WM 21 and by that time Austin was retired and Rock left for Hollywood. Im pretty sure if Austin didn’t retire and Rock stayed that they would have had their shot at the streak. Also Brock Lesnar probably could have faced Taker at WM but they faced eachother so many times in the fall of 2002 and 2003 so having them face eachother again at WM 19 or WM 20 people would be like this match again. And John Cena has even said it himself that he would like to face Undertaker at WM 30. The match is gonna happen it’s a big money match that both Taker, Cena, and Vince knows about. It will happen WM 30 bank on it

The streak was huge after Mania 18 when he was 10-0. So they had the chance to do a match against Austin or Hogan at 19, against Rock at 19, 20, 27 and 28, aginst Lesnar at 19 and 20 and against Cena from 22-28. Only Bret vs Taker was never possible to be streak match.

Re: Official Undertaker WM Streak Thread - No Other Threads
If Jericho stayed for the whole year, and built up a HUGE feud with Taker? Well, ir'd be interesting to see the ending to that. Would be one hell of a nice pat on the back to Jericho for all he's done, right?
As for Punk, I don't see that going over very well. People will have a HUGE issue with Punk taking it. Than again, most people will have an issue with anyone taking the streak. I don't know how they could build up a decent match in such short time either.

Doubt that, Vince has left it up to Taker who wants to break it, so really he has no need to fear.

Re: Official Undertaker WM Streak Thread - No Other Threads
I believe Taker literally has one last match left in him. Cena is tied up with Rock. I think CM Punk shocks the entire world at Wrestlemania XXIX by ending the streak and that the WM 30 Double Main Event is Cena vs. Orton and Punk vs. Austin.

Re: Official Undertaker WM Streak Thread - No Other Threads
When you think about it, streaks aren't really legendary until they end. In all of sports history, you can only really say Rocky Marciano went undefeated in his career. Everyone else lost. The Lakers lost the 34th game. Hersheisher gave up a run eventually. Cal Ripken sat out a game, and was given one hell of a send off in celebration. Douglas knocked out Tyson. The Miami Dolphins were only perfect for one season.
The streak HAS to end for there to be finality. A Punk win shocks the world, firmly establishes him as one of the greatest of all time, and probably pushes him away from a premature retirement. It's the equivalent of Jericho saying he beat Rock and Austin in the same night. Punk would always be "The Guy Who Ended The Streak", and the rub he gives to the next generation as they dethrone him will be what allows the streak to live forever.
I think it would be cool to see the guy who eventually ends the streak immediately go on a streak of their own (say 4 or 5 Wrestlemanias), making fans wonder if the streak is sort of like the evil being in "Fallen".
