Undertaker's Final Opponent Discussion

If the Undertaker is going to wrestle someone he has already faced at WM, it should be no one else but Randy Orton.

Vs Kane has been done to death. Their build up to WM14 and WM20 were great, and had months of build up, so I doubt they could strike gold for a 3rd time.

Vs HHH just happened, and they spent almost 2 months trying to make us forget that it had already happened once, only to tell us about it the night after WM27

As for anyone new facing Undertaker, I would prefer one of the 4 people:

CM Punk - Given his comments last year when Undertaker came back "weaker" than before, Punk did a great job promo and wrestling wise to highlight this, and then also highlight the exact opposite 2 weeks later. Could easily see them build to..well....anything.

John Cena - Do I even need to give a reason? Money maker right here, but we all know where Cena will be that night. Beating the Rock.

Chris Jericho - I don't really feel like WWE ruined this by having them face a few times on Smackdown. I could see it easily being Jericho, wanting to cement his legacy forever. I just imagine a great match, great build up, even without any storylines in mind.

Randy Orton - HBK vs Ric Flair was built up around two good guys, simply trying to prove who really was the better man. HBK vs Undertaker was the same kind of built. Given Orton's maturity over the last few years as a real face of the company, a match and build up between the two, as they currently are, would be completely different. Plus Orton's already on Smackdown.

Final opponent should be Kane. Although I really wanna see Cena get his ass kicked at Mania, and become a victim.

I really do want to see Kane...But I guess with Foley being in TNA right now...I never really thought about it. I would honestly LOVE that! With Undertaker vs. Mick Foley...And The Rock already on the card, how could the event suck!

That's debatable. I'd say Mick Foley was his greatest rival.

And even if he is Taker's greatest rival, why does that mean we have to see it again? We've already seen it a thousand times before. Infact we just saw it last year!

the problem is that they built it up so much that his last opponent has to be epic.

I dont think his last opponent has to be epic rather the finish needs to be epic. Hes obviously going to win the match but how does he win yet still have an end to his career. The only way to beat the Undertaker is to kill the character, something right out of RR 94 but obiviously better and more final.

Like I've said before: against Chris Jericho and have him end the streak.

This is the entire reason I don't understand why the steak "has" to end.

Who want's their legacy years down the line to be "___ and 1" ?

That's why I went with a Randy Orton or CM Punk as people to face him. As popular as both of them are, they are going to be in the business for a good while, and could actually benefit from the Wrestlemania with Undertaker bump, even while losing.

If they have a major heel built up to be the destroyer of Undertaker, and Undertaker wins, people are going to be pissy. If they have two big faces, like they have the last 3 years, then even when one loses, they both win.
