I know a lot of you are foaming at the mouth over it, but all the talk of the possibility of this match happening just has me flashing back to their feud in 2009, where Punk was buried. Unfortunately, I don't see things changing at all.
Thoughts?

Undertaker should never lose at Wrestlemania, period the end.
If Undertaker and CM Punk actually do end up wrestling at Wrestlemania, there are a TON of ways to make CM Punk look good without winning, and also without burying him.
It all boils down the to the booking of the angle and the way the match is choreographed. Nobody is saying HBK got buried or HHH got buried and they BOTH lost to Undertaker 2 years in a row. But the angles were good and the matches were good.
If the only reason some people don't want to see it happen is because they'll be butthurt when CM Punk loses, then they are missing the big picture.

I'm looking forward to it, however I think Punk/Cena/Rock and Brock/Taker (with Brock/Punk following after Mania) would be a hell of a lot better.
And I agree that just because Punk would loose, does not mean he'd be buried, it's loosing to Undertaker at Mania.

I am worried they will make Punk look like a b****. I don't want ANYONE to interfere in this match. No shield, no Lesnar, nobody. Make Punk look badass. |

I have pretty much no interest unless Punk ends the streak, honestly. And I simply don't see that happening.
I've said for months that Punk deserves to be in the main event with Rock and Cena, and that's still exactly how I feel.

The majority of this board doesn't want to see it because they are so set on a triple threat match that won't happen. I guarantee a lot of people will be crying on Monday when Punk loses about how "we had the perfect set up for a triple threat and didn't get it". People are setting themselves up to be disappointing.
Taker draws at Mania and that's that. Punk is a completely different wrestler now. People will say they don't want to see it but they will watch anyway and afterwards say how it was better than they thought it was. Just because Punk loses doesn't mean he's "buried" but I don't expect many people on here to "get it".
Rock/Cena, Taker/Punk, Trips/Lesnar it isn't changing so stop setting yourselves up for disappointment kiddos. Don't like it don't watch, but you will watch anyway. I'm going and personally I'm excited. It'll be my first WrestleMania and of course I want to see The Undertaker compete.
EDIT: As far as your triple threat The Rock is competing at Extreme Rules so I'm sure that match WILL happen but it won't be at WrestleMania which is made for one on one main events. If you want that match wait and order it at Extreme Rules because I'm sure it'll happen then.

WWE could allow Punk to look stronger than Triple H or Shawn Michaels ever did against Taker and people would still complain that he got buried. |

I think one of the most amazing things is that the internet essentially arrived at a Punk/Taker match by process of elimination. If any dirtsheet reported it, it was long after people started clamoring about it online. I'm not saying it's not going to happen, but it's just funny that people have been talking about this match like it's been set in stone for months when in reality we haven't seen a single shred of reliable evidence to even suggest that the match is on the table.
Rock/Cena was obvious. Lesnar/Triple H is obvious. Punk/Taker is something that was conceived out of nothing.
Also, I think it's worth noting that while Wrestlemania may traditionally be built for one on one main events, one of the greatest Wrestlemania main events of all time was a triple threat match. Not to mention, the main event of Wrestlemania deserves a real heel, not (just) a babyface John Cena continuing to act like a good guy while getting booed out of the building.

I don't want this to happen over the potential WWE Title Triple Threat Match however I expect it to.  |

Could anyone really be booked to look stronger against Taker than Triple H did at Wrestlemania 27? Punk annoying the higher ups in WWE is what cost him in their previous feud too.

The funny thing is everyone loves HBK/Triple H/Benoit now but I was on this board during those days and there was just as much if not more bitching then about HBK being added and how it should be Beniot/Triple H(which I'm sorry that one on one isn't a WrestleMania draw) and were complaining how WrestleMania wasn't made for triple threat matches.
Now everyone wants a triple threat match? While I do think Rock/Cena/Punk would be a good match I wouldn't expect it to be as good as HBK/Triple H/Benoit.

I guess I should have used the word "buried" a little bit better. I more so meant he was destroyed in their first feud, & I know WWE logic, I'm not suppose to remember that. Problem is I do, & I can't forget it. I admit, I have had my heart set on a Punk/Rock/Cena match for WM since Raw 1000.
I truly believe Taker's streak won't ever be broken. I guess I don't think he'll look weak in the match, but I don't think he'll have a prayer. I'd prefer Lesnar/Taker, but if Taker isn't anywhere near 100% healthy, a match with Punk would probably be a lot safer on his body.

I definitely don't think it would be better than WM20's triple threat, but I LOVE that these 3 men have all been intertwined essentially since Punk's first pipebomb, when he took a shot at the Rock for already being in the main event of WM28 a year out. The story is more so what I'm after. I know people are talking about the possibility of this happening at Extreme Rules now, & I could see it. WWE saved Lesnar for that PPV to spike another PPV buy rate, so maybe they'll try that again. Still, I would rather have it at WM. |

id rather see Undertaker vs. Brock.
if Punk was booked lile HHH and HBK have been against him, that's fine. Punk needs to be a force to be reckoned with, not jobbed out.

I personally would love to see Taker/Brock myself but it isn't gonna happen. At least not this year. I don't know if it's because Taker can't handle his style which is very possible or if it's the fact that Triple H gets what he wants.
I think the reason WWE will save it for Extreme Rules is while maybe a lot of us might not care to see Rock/Cena II, personally I don't mind it cause I knew we were bound to get it when Rock pinned Cena last year, we only make up a very small portion of WWE's audience.
The Rock vs John Cena and Undertaker vs CM Punk will draw more than the three way. Personally I think WWE is doing it this way because everyone knows Taker won't wrestle at Extreme Rules so who cares? Cena will get his win back and then The Rock will get his rematch at Extreme Rules only with Punk added somehow.
Seriously who really expects WWE to do Rock/Cena/Punk at WrestleMania and Cena/Rock II at Extreme Rules? There is another opportunity to see Rock/Cena/Punk but not another one to see Taker/Punk, at least not for another year if Taker were to even work next year's show.
Also even if Punk was added and the triple threat happened at WrestleMania people would complain when Punk didn't win anyway and still claim WWE buried Punk.

It's all going to depend on whether Taker can get his cardio back and Punk can stay injury-free.

CM Punk losing to the Undertaker @ WresleMania would be an honor in my eyes. Going up against the Undertaker @ Mania is a pretty huge deal. Undertaker is essentially the guy that the locker room looks up to and he gets to hand pick who he wants to work with come WrestleMania.
I am a huge CM Punk fan and I personally think that Taker and Punk are both great creative minds and would come up with one hell of a match that would elevate both the streak and Punk...

I dont mind the match itself. I have a problem with the build up to the match. Realistically, it doesnt make sense at all. CM Punk is in a fued with the Rock at the moment and a triple threat for the WWE title makes sense a whole lot more than Undertaker and Punk.

I don't really want to see Undertaker versus anyone at WrestleMania. His time has come and gone, it's time to let others shine.
