Re: How can they make it seem like The Streak is in jepody again?
The WWE would need to keep telling the story that Undertaker's body is breaking down, and make people believe that his opponent could capitalize on this weakness. They can go the easy route and throw Rock and Cena as his opponent, but everyone knows that both Cena and Rock wouldnt benefit from the win as much as a young talent. For me to believe that someone could beat Taker, it would have to be a guy like Ryback, someone on the rise that would legitimately benefit huge from the win. I don't want to see Ryback defeat Taker, but it's someone with his type of progression that could eventually reach a level where Taker "passes the torch". If the WWE doesn't sell me on the threat, and the opponent isnt a guy that has potential to be the backbone of the WWE for years to come, I just don't see Taker ever losing at Wrestlemania. Taker's streak is what defines him, but I do think that he loves the business enough to give that all up if it would "make" someone, though that someone would have to be something special.

They could have set up the perfect opportunity for another streak-threatening run if Lesnar had beat Cena. He comes in, beats Cena, destroys HHH at Summer Slam, plows through whoever else and dominates the WWE. Taker gets sick of Lesnar fucking with everyone and everything and makes their WM match a career vs. career match.
But that won't happen, because it would be awesome.

A triple threat match would be pretty good, I think. That would make me nervous. Or some kind of Elimination Match: maybe an elimination fatal four way, like at Wrestlemania 16.

Re: How can they make it seem like The Streak is in jepody again?
The only way I can see The Streak being in jeopardy is if he faces an opponent with a lot of credibility and is consider a huge star among his peers, and currently the only people who fit that description is Cena, Rock and Brock (but Brock may lose his credibility if he loses to HHH at SS), but those three are the only people who could convince me that the streak is in danger, especially John Cena since he's still a full-time active wrestler compared to the others who are just part-timers.
But seeing how WrestleMania Undertaker can survive 20+ chair shots, 3 or 4 Pedigree, a Superkick, A Tombstone Piledriver, 2 shots to the head from a sledgehammer, and being slammed into the ring steps. I starting to believe that not even Super Cena in all his colorful glory could put him down, well convincingly that is.

Taker fights Brock Lesnar in an Iron Man Hell In A Cell match for the WWE Championship. After being beaten to a pulp, Taker emerges victorious, but Lesnar gets up and F5's Taker through the announce table, off the stage, and then back in the ring, onto a stack of chairs. He then proceeds to put Taker in 2 Kimura Locks, "breaking" both of his arms.
Then RyBack comes out with MITB...
