BTW, Taker/Cena isn't a dream match. It has happened before (e.g: Vengeance 2003).

There is so much difference between Taker of 2003 and Taker 2012.Back then,Cena was a rookie.Now,he is one of the biggest superstars of all time.I personally prefer to see Cena vs Taker over Cena vs Rock.

Taker/Cena would accomplish nothing... either you have Taker go over again or you end the streak for someone that doesn't need it. But this is the WWE so that's probably what's going to happen. Just can't escape the stupid with this company right now.

But in literal sense, it can no longer be called a dream match due to it happening before.

And I think everybody (except Vince) prefers Taker/Cena over Cena/Rock.

Hey guys I don't know if you heard, but Vince wants to do Punk vs. Undertaker at WM 29 and then follow it up by doing a rematch of Punk vs. Undertaker at WM 30. But on to the topic of the question. Under normal circumstances I would say Cena vs. Undertaker is a bigger drawing match than Punk vs. Austin if we operated under the assumption that Austin was not coming out of retirement. But I think Austin coming out of retirement in a match against Punk would be considered a big deal by fans and the major reason people would buy wrestlemania not Undertaker vs. Cena unless it was Undertaker's last match then there could be some debate there.

Source?

And about Taker/Cena & Austin/Punk....well, of course Vince can book Austin/Punk as main event, but if Cena/Taker goes before Austin/Punk then, at best, Austin/Punk will receive a similar crowd reaction to Orton/HHH at WM 25.

no not all. they can put cena and taker in the middle of the card just like hhh vs taker at 28 and then have diva matches hof ceremony,world title matches after that to really rest up then have Punk vs Austin with a crowd just like they had with cena vs rock only 10 times better

Punk/Austin would actually be bigger and probalby drain the crowd more. And really, I don't think you want to end a WM with last thing you see is Cena standing tall and hearing Cole and Lawler shit themselves with "Cena has done it! He's ended the streak! He has got to be thre greatest wrestler that will ever live!". Of course... WM might not be able to continue if it was in the middle of the show because of the riot...

This is not the year 1999. Stone Cold is not a bigger draw than The Undertaker, especially at Wrestlemania.

His first match back would be pretty big. But I'm not just basing it on that, but the fact that you people are highly overrating the appeal of Cena v Taker. It doesn't sound like a match that could even be all that good, even not taking into the account the riot inducing ending sure to happen. There is at least an aura of possibility around Punk/Austin.

But in all fairness, at this point I wouldn't mind a Punk/Taker. Or maybe by WM30 someone like Ziggler or Bryan will be a big enough name to make a believable opponent. But for Cena... that ship has passed. He doesn't need the win and to break the streak. And on the unlikely chance he loses, most likely we'd have gotten a pretty mediocre match that accomplished nothing. Cena/Taker is pretty much as lose/lose as a match can get.
