Bray Wyatt vs Undertaker, Who Are You Rooting For

With that promo from Bray Wyatt and the leaks I think it's clear it's gonna be Undertaker vs Wyatt at WM31.
"How they used to fear you. Look what you done did, you let all that fear turn into love and admiration."
"The devil is real man, and he cannot wait to see you again."

So who are you rooting for to win this match if/when it happens.

I'm rooting for Sting in the rafters.

Bray Wyatt defeats and retires Undertaker in a passing of the torch moment. There is absolutely no need for Undertaker to win over an upcoming star. The ending of the Streak should have been one of the biggest game changing moments of all time. Instead, it was not even the biggest moment of Wrestlemania 30. I hope WWE does not screw up Taker vs Wyatt like the Streak ending. Undertaker is still a big name especially at Wrestlemania and a win could solidify Bray Wyatt as a top star. Undertaker defeated the biggest name in the industry, Hulk Hogan in his very first year and now Taker should give the same rub to Wyatt.

Anyone that says Undertaker will look weak with two defeats is clearly delusional.The Rock lost 3 consecutive Wrestlemania main-events at the peak of his career and no way did it make him less popular. Triple H lost 3 consecutive Wrestlemania main-events 10 years ago and a win over him even now is still a huge deal. Shawn Michaels lost more than he won at Wrestlemania and that did not stop him from being Mr.Wrestlemania.

This match should not even be done. But if it is, Bray winning is the only acceptable result.

Bray Wyatt.

Undertaker has a two decade plus long career, filled with memorable moments, dominant streaks, world title runs, classic feuds, and entertaining shades to what would otherwise be a failed gimmick in virtually anyone else's hands. I don't mind Undertaker being a "once a year" attraction anymore but now that the Streak is over, you have no reason for Taker to be going over any newer talent unless they are long term investments that cant shake up the business with a strong push and Bray Wyatt is that man. It's even better since he's basically the resident "supernatural" gimmick that will stick around long after Taker is gone. If you MUST have Taker's career end with a win, it should be against other part-timers that don't need a rub anymore like Sting or Triple H.

Wyatt should win. Anything else is bullshit.

Definitely Taker. It would be ridiculous to have him make a huge return to WM simply to lose again for the second straight year. However, the breaking of the streak provides an unpredictability we haven't seen in a long time and they can still play it off as if the outcome is entirely uncertain.

If he's healthy and in good shape I'd love to see Undertaker given a compelling and well-booked redemption storyline, where he shows Bray Wyatt who the "face of fear" really is. Bray can pick on him about being done, old, soft, etc. and Taker's goal will be to shut him (and everyone else) up.

Bray Wyatt has been fantastic lately and people must remember that he can still be put over HUGE even in a loss to Taker. A Taker win will not in any way bury Bray or slow him down but it will solidify Bray's status as a big-time player and give him a huge stamp of approval from Mark Calaway for simply coming back and working a program with him. This can only benefit Bray win or lose, but I'm a Taker mark at a heart and want to hear that GONG and see the salute to the darkside one more time at WM before he hangs it up.

It feels like a lose/lose situation sadly. If Bray loses, he's back to creative not knowing what to do with him and he'll have to be rebooted yet again. And if Taker loses, it's sort of pitiful going from being undefeated to beaten twice in a row at the end of his career.

I'll be pulling for Bray, though, because he's the future and he really needs a big win to make all his threats mean something. He really doesn't need his momentum deflated at yet another wrestlemania. He's too talented for that.

Wyatt beating Taker at Mania would permanently establish him in the main event. Even without the streak to beat, only one other guy has done it before and that is Brock fucking Lesnar. Some people are really underestimating what Wyatt beating Taker here would do for him; he would look like a fucking beast.

So my vote is for Bray Wyatt. The future is here and it is time to let go of the old guard.

Bray. From almost ever single perspective, the stories for both competitors are enhanced by Bray going over. Allow me to explain..

First off, let's clear something up. Taker's performance at Mania didn't prove that he's washed up by any stretch. The man was concussed from early on, and its what lead to the dip in quality. While I believe his bout with Brock was doomed to be a bit worse than his previous 5 outings with Punk, HHH, and HBK, honestly, who wouldn't expect that. Those 3 guys are world class in the ring. A match with Bray wouldn't be a technical masterpiece by any stretch, but they both know how to tell a hell of a story.

After the debacle that was last year's Mania matchup with Cena, Bray needs a signature win on the grandest stage. We're at the point with him where the next logical step is to give him a big win over someone like Taker. Failing to do so only results in the enhancement of former talent. He has all the tools to carry the momentum achieved from such an accomplishment. Establish your future monster while you have the chance. The torch should be passed.

On to the last point of contention for many: Should Taker drop two straight? Some argue that another L would diminish the streak further, but 21 straight wins stands on its on. Another loss also helps build the potential bout with Sting at WM 32, a match that you need on the card to help sellout Cowboy's stadium. A former WWE icon goes into that match looking vunerable as he takes on a Sting fresh off a Mania victory over Triple H. I think this matchup works best with Taker working as an underdog in what is likely to be his send of . More than wins and losses, wrestling is about the story, and this treads new ground for a character who, for the most part, has always seemed invincible. A big Taker win would be that much more gratifying after the heartbreak of the previous losses.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking any one else's opinion . You're certainly entitled to feel how you'd like about a character that's been extremely important to us all for so long. I just challenge the detractors to take a look at the pros and cons objectively. I'm confident that you'll find a lot more possibilities behind door number 1.

Wyatt HAS to win. He just has to.

Bray has HUGE potential in my opinion. 27 years old, and has the best character in the business. He really could be this generations monster.

Taker vs Wyatt is just a dream feud. I really hope Taker comes back in the next couple weeks and we see a solid month of build because the promos could be insane.

Wyatt really is the one guy who you just feel cannot be intimidated by any opponent. Not even The Undertaker.

It's unlikely, but just imagine. Wyatt beats him, Lesnar signs on for another 6 months and then at Summerslam we get Wyatt vs Lesnar and Lesnar puts over Wyatt before he leaves for good.

Build it as the 2 in 21-2. Lesnar brags about ending the streak but Wyatt brags about ending the Undertaker himself, and it could be booked briliantly because like I said Wyatt just has no fear. Not even Lesnar can intimidate Wyatt.

Anyone who really wants Undertaker to win is high on nostalgia, and nothing more. And nostalgia? Not conductive to a good wrestling show, I'm afraid.
From the nWo's debut in WWE, to Nash's feud with Punk, time and time again, we have been shown that bringing back these old acts, and putting them over at the expense of established talent does not work. And yet, so many here simply don't get it.
Want more proof? Well, just talk to a Kane fan, and just see how many of them want him to wear the mask again and get a monster heel push.
It never occurs to them that it's not 1997 anymore, and it clearly doesn't occur to Undertaker fans that his time is done, and it's best for him to bow out gracefully.

Bray Wyatt was white hot at last year's Wrestlemania, and all he needed was a clean win against Cena. Instead, he was buried, he had his stable disbanded for literally no reason, and has since been in meaningless feud after meaningless feud.
And yet, despite it all, despite being given nothing to work with, he busts his ass. Give him a meaningless match with Ziggler on Raw? He goes out there and tears the house down. Rambling promos that don't go anywhere? He delivers them with a confidence and conviction which puts most of the roster to shame.
He was squashed, buried and left for dead, but this guy has done absolutely every-fucking-thing possible to remain relevant.

His future is more important than you needing to feel like a little kid again.

I'm am so sick of this tainted legacy bullshit so what if taker loses at wrestlemania all of a sudden the LAST TWENTY FIVE FUCKING YEARS MEAN NONTHING. he has been a multiple time world champ he has wrestled any man who has mattered he has incredible matches and feuds
stone cold the rock, triple h, Shawn Michaels, ric flair, hulk Hogan, the ultimate warrior, Kane, Jake Roberts, Kevin Nash, and hundreds of others.

he is the greatest character EVER created in the WWE no one will ever come close except for one bray wyatt the modern day version of taker the creepy promos the dark entrance he has "followers" he's also seemingly impervious to pain remind you of any one?

look we heard it last night from triple h undertaker wants to give back and help others and the best way to do that at the moment is to put over bray because if he does he becomes a made man in the WWE and he will be seen as threat to everyone on the roster and it will help him in the long run.

and for those who are worried think about this next wrestlemania is in Dallas it's the perfect situation he gets inducted into the hall of fame he gets a retirement match with sting. so stop fucking naysaying

as far as the question goes i'm rooting for both because if this works out everyone wins us and them.

Because Undertaker apparently has to win to end his career with a win, because if he doesn't he's no longer a legend and nobody will take him seriously ever again and boo him out of the building during his Hall of Fame induction.

Something along those lines. Just absurd reasoning, there's no excuse for it. Really, it's just because these people are nostalgia marks who refuse to let go of the past and build new stars.

WM will be my first time seeing Taker in person, you can bet the 12 year old kid in me will be losing my mind for Undertaker. But the 35 year old fan in me is loving Bray's work and excited to see one of my favorites from growing up against one of my current favorites, there are no losers as far as I'm concerned. I know everybody's fears about how Taker can't suffer another loss at WM and worried about Bray being "buried" if he loses at WM again. To me, I don't think a loss is a nail in either man's coffin. I do think Taker should win but I won't be freaking out and hysterical if he loses either. As for Bray, it makes sense for him to win to carry his momentum going forward but if he loses it doesn't mean he's "buried" either because there's ways Taker can still make Bray look strong even if he does go over. Either way, I just can't wait for this feud to develop more and for Undertaker's eventual reply to Bray's invitation tonight.

If Wyatt loses his 2nd Mania match hes done.

A win for Wyatt with a passing of torch scenario would do wonders.

Win or lose Taker won't be affected.

He can retire next year with a win vs Sting. 22-2?

All this has to be considered IF they go through with this.

Not necessarily too fond of this happening though.

Hindsight makes you wonder:

1) Lesnar should not have beaten Taker. He could have easily recovered destroying Cena at SummerSlam

2) Wyatt should have beaten Cena @ WM XXX.

3) Wyatt defeats Taker for 22-1. Taker passes the torch to Wyatt, and he holds the streak. Or not - it'd be less predictable.


Anyway, I'm rooting for Wyatt. Post-match, the lights go out for a couple seconds. When the lights come back on, the Undertaker is gone and all is left is an urn while Wyatt stares at it laughing in his crab position.
