It is to the WWE's credit - the way they have been able to tweak story-lines when the Undertaker got injured.

I guess that year 2007 was planned to be his year, so that he gets a long title reign before retirement, in return to his contributions to the business as the most phenomenal wrestler on-stage, the longest tenuring athlete on the WWE roster, as well as his back-stage contributions in being the locker-room leader, holding the company on his shoulders during the 'lean' years, and mentoring other wrestlers, bringing them to popularity through rivalries and characters derived from his (e.g., Kane), etc - http://www.wwe.com/shows/raw/raw15/exclusives/raw15pollresults/.  A simple proof of the fact that the year was perhaps planned for him is that he won the Royal Rumble for the first time in his career, that too by defeating the other legend in the WWE roster right now, Shawn Michaels at his home-town. They made another record out of it, by making him the first entrant to win the Rumble by entering at # 30. If anybody watched the preview match of the Royal Rumble at Smackdown in the last week of March 2007, they would have known that Undertaker is going to win the Rumble, the way he interrupted the match and set the pace by cleaning house single-handedly. After that, it was too easy to predict that Undertaker will win the match against Batista (in what was my favourite match of 2007, and was voted so by the fans on WWE.com also), because if there is one thing which is the biggest truth of wrestling and the greatest record, it is that Undertaker has never lost at Wrestlemania, and I hope that he never will because if the WWE needs one name to enumerate in history which never lost at the grandest stage of them all, there is no better wrestler or character than the Dead-man, who cannot be hurt - http://www.wwe.com/inside/news/wwerecords/.

However, I guess the WWE made one slight mistake of giving Undertaker a lot of bloody matches immediately following his victory. Batista perhaps didn't perform very well according to the script in my estimation, and Undertaker ended up getting injured in their last-man-standing match. Now that Undertaker's long-title reign was not possible this time, it had to be taken out somehow. However, it will be against his character to forfeit the title or lose it 'cleanly'. So what does the WWE do now? Modify the story-line to make more story-lines. Enter Edge, challenging Kennedy for his money-in-the-bank title and winning it from him, and encashing it against Undertaker after his bloody steel-cage match with Batista, following which Mark Henry had also returned and assaulted the wounded Undertaker. This way, three Smackdown superstars - Batista, Mark Henry and Edge, got a chance to make a name for themselves and make themselves popular at the expense of the Undertaker, the way most other superstars also have in the past. Following this, when Undertaker was ready to return, it was obvious that he will finish off Mark Henry and turn his attention to the title again. Once again, Undertaker had delivered a tombstone piledriver to Batista (this time on the steel steps), but wait a second - the poster of "Survivor series" had featured Edge holding a chain-cutter or a saw - what does that mean? He was hidden inside the cell as a cameraman. He attacked the Undertaker and helped Batista win.

Why? Perhaps because the WWE thought it made sense that the Undertaker should win his next title at a Wrestlemania, and this would also give a chance to the Undertaker-Edge rivalry to gain some more momentum to help promote Edge. It was easy to predict that Edge will have some trick up his sleeve and win their triple-threat match at Armageddon to become the champion (though, perhaps because no better story-line was possible, they made Vickie the fiance of Edge and it made the whole thing look uglier than anything has in the past).

Heading upto Wrestlemania 24, the moment the Elimination chamber match for Smackdown was announced at No Way Out, it was obvious that the Undertaker will win it (because he did not win the Royal Rumble) so that he can avenge himself from Edge at Wrestlemania and win the title. That elimination chamber match was dominated by the Undertaker as he eliminated or helped eliminate all other 5 opponents, and it was my favourite match of 2008 looking at the brutality and wrestling-skill (the reversal of the head-bang to the cage into a tombstone to Batista was incomparable, and the choke-slam to MVP from the top of the chamber to the ring was memorable). It had to happen, and it happened. The streak became 16-0, and the Undertaker prevailed in Backlash as expected. However, you could make out that the Undertaker has become leaner and is not using the tombstone very often but true to his innovative nature, he has introduced a new submission move (gogoplata from mixed-martial arts). It was obvious that his knee is injured and he needs time off (I guess he had developed a cyst).

Once again, the Undertaker cannot be taken out cleanly. So what to do? The WWE made use of the Vickie-Edge relationship story-line to make a loser-leaves-town match, where Undertaker would fight Edge in a TLC (Edge's speciality), and that he will be banished from the WWE if he lost to Edge. That was sign enough that it is time for the Undertaker to take a vacation to heal his injuries, before being back with a bang. But as far as Undertaker goes, he has proved it in the past that any kind of match against any kind of opponent (regardless of how experienced the opponent is in that kind of match), the match eventually becomes dominated by the Undertaker and becomes his speciality. This time, Undertaker once again dominated and it was my second-favourite matche of 2008. However, they had to introduce outside interference and eventually make Edge win so that the Undertaker can take time off. While leaving, he had a depressed expression on his face to sell the banishment story-line to the fans.

But can the Undertaker be taken out that way? You must be kidding me. He is the most dominant force in the history of professional wrestling. When Edge dumped Vickie and made out with the wedding-planner, it was obvious that now the WWE is doing 2 things - 1) preparing for Undertaker's return because Edge/ Vickie were secondary players in the story-line who had come into it only to create chaos on Smackdown due to Undertaker's injury, until he is ready to come back and take his top-spot, 2) Vickie drew a lot of heat from the fans due to her bad acting skills and voice, so she was being turned "face" (good character).

The first thing which a lot of people asked was whether Undertaker will return in the same persona or a new persona? It is a question of high debate, because he has shown so many personas to the crowd, and he has maintained a link between all of them so well that it is by far the greatest and most recognizable gimmick of all time - http://wrestlingsgreatest.blogspot.com/2007/06/best-wrestling-gimmicks-of-all-time.html. The only reason why I feel that the persona will not change is that this current persona has not evolved out of just the last 1 or 2 personas but it has evolved out of "all" the earlier personas. It has traits of all the earlier personas including the wrestling moves (tombstone/ chokeslam from the mortician, last ride from the bad-a**), the attire (the big-evil vest attire inside with big-evil mark on the tights along with overcoat and hat from the mortician/ deadman), the mind-games from the ministry and lord of darkness, the entrance theme from the deadman and lord of darkness, the signature moves (cutting throat before the tombstone from the deadman and lord of darkness, raising the right hand after victory from the bad-a**).

That is why fans call this persona as the "Hybrid" persona. It is a very well thought-through persona and perhaps the Undertaker wanted to keep it as the last persona before retirement, that is why he made it as a culmination of all other personas. He is giving us a glimpse of all that we have seen of the Undertaker in the past. If you create a new persona now, what will happen to this one and the others? The link has to be maintained like it has been maintained over the last 18 years, and it cannot just be left out. I guess that is the reason why this persona has lasted the longest compared to all other personas. There were a lot of opportunities during this persona when he could have changed it. For example, when Randy Orton put him in a casket with fire or when Mark Henry/ Edge took him out last year when Edge cashed in his money-in-the-bank title. Those were opportunities which qualified for a persona-change considering the kinds of situations after which the Undertaker has changed his persona earlier (like Yokozuna and other heels putting him in a casket, Kane burying him alive, etc). However, in this case, nothing of that sort has happened and he did not "die" in the storyline, but he was just banished and is being brought back as he was. He should perhaps remain a fan-favourite until he retires instead of turning "heel" (evil character) like he did during the ministry to promote Stone Cold and Rock.

The WWE magazine also has Undertaker sitting on its cover and he seems to be in the same persona, however that is not proof enough. I guess we will have to wait and see, but due to the reasons I stated above, my guess is that his persona will not change. There could be slight changes in the attire and entrance, like there have been throughout in his present persona (the big-evil trousers with shoes changed to tights with boots, the big-evil mark came on his tights and its colour kept changing, the fire-effects were slowly added to his entrance).

Now that we have understood the Undertaker character and recent story-lines well, let us look at my predictions for the Hell in a Cell match. First of all, I think the WWE is at a great talent-crunch, that every Hell in a Cell match requires Undertaker. There is only one Hell in a Cell match every year, and Undertaker has already made the maximum number of entrances in them. This will add one more to his attendance in the same. It means there are very few wrestlers capable of managing inside the Hell in a Cell (Undertaker and HHH), and that in the recent past, every great rivalry has inevitably required Undertaker to be on one side of it (because the biggest rivalries are settled at Hell in a Cell). On a side note, so why didn't Stone Cold and Rock or Vince McMahon have a Hell in a Cell match? I don't call them rivalries - they were more of acting and showman-ship instead of real wrestling. If you want to see a real "wrestling" rivalry, see Undertaker vs Mankind - that Hell in a Cell match was unbelievable.

Undertaker has lost certain Hell in a Cell matches too, mostly through interference - he lost the first one to Shawn Michaels because Kane debuted and attacked him, he lost one to Brock Lesnar because he was injured and had a broken arm before starting the match, and he lost to Batista last year because Edge returned and attacked him, helping Batista win). Obviously, Undertaker will not lose two Hell in a Cell matches in a row, in 2 consecutive years. It is now time to take out Edge because he is done playing his role, which was assigned to him because Undertaker got injured and needed time off. Its obvious due to the break-up between Edge and Vickie, as they had been "related" only due to Undertaker's injury in the first place. Now it is time for these secondary characters to go home and let the real show-man, the Phenom, take center-stage once more.

There could have been a better way of announcing the match, though. Instead of Vickie stating on Smackdown to Edge that she has re-instated Undertaker to take revenge from him, she could have just told Edge that he will have to face a mystery opponent of her choice at Summerslam and it will be a Hell in a Cell match. During the match, she could've announced that here comes the mystery opponent - "THE UNDERTAKER". The reaction of fright on Edge's face would've sold the story-line to the fans, and the crowd would've gone wild when they would've heard the name of the Undertaker. Anyway, I guess its not so easy to just announce a Hell in a Cell match without telling the opponent because it is usually meant for settling big rivalries (so you know who the opponent is) and because it is the most brutal match in WWE history - http://www.wwe.com/inside/listthis/mostextremematches/.

I would be surprised if any other match is the main-event for Summerslam. There could be other title matches scheduled for Summerslam, but just the fact that this match signals the return of the Undertaker is enough to make it a main-event. Plus, everyone is looking forward to it in anticipation because this the Undertaker's chance to take out everything on Edge for all the wrong he has done to him in more than the last one year. This would be my scripting for the match:

* Undertaker will dominate the match.

* When Undertaker is about to win, Umaga (if he is not in a match at Summerslam against Big Show) or Vladimir Kozlov will come out and attack Taker. Edge has got sufficient notice to prepare for this match, so I am sure he will have some plan for protection. However, Undertaker cannot lose a hell in a cell match yet *again* due to interference, that too on his much-awaited return. But this could be a way to furnish new rivalries and promote Umaga/ Kozlov to some extent because when you attack the Undertaker, you instantly become famous.

* It will look like Undertaker is about to lose but then Kane will show up with the mask :-) and this time, unlike the first Hell in a Cell match, he will help Undertaker win.

[I guess Kane is holding his old mask in the sack/ bag that he was carrying at Raw, which he had snatched from the impostor Kane (which I guess, was Festus). And when he said "Is he alive or dead" on Raw, he was perhaps referring to himself - in his old persona. This will perhaps be the last way to give Kane a 'push' before he retires so that he now stays the way he had initially debuted - perhaps hereafter until the day he calls it quits, he will remain with the mask, much to the delight of the fans. And no - don't blame me for discussing retirement now, we are not discussing the Undertaker's or Kane's retirement :-) I just mean that hereafter for the rest of the career, Kane might remain with the "mask", and this match will be a good chance to re-debut the "masked" Kane.]

HHH will most probably survive against Khali, though it is unbelievable (so was John Cena beating Khali and Batista beating Khali). Thereafter, Undertaker will win his title from HHH (it could be either HHH or some other wrestler who wins it from HHH). I personally don't want to see Undertaker vs HHH be a long rivalry because we have seen it before and it has already resulted in a Wrestlemania match which Undertaker had won. So the case is closed :-) if there is another Undertaker vs HHH rivalry, it could not result in anything bigger than a Wrestlemania match, which has already happened.... so there is no point in seeing another such match between the two and no use in having HHH listed as a double-victim in Undertaker's Wrestlemania streak (so far he has had 16 victims in his 16-0 streak - yes, Kane is there twice in the list, but Undertaker also had a handicap match against Big Show and A-Train, so there are 16 victims altogether. I guess it is better to have 17 different victim-names when he reaches 17-0).

Instead, Undertaker might be better off improving his Wrestlemania streak with more different names as victims - how about Shawn Michaels? Shawn has got the better of Undertaker on several occasions due to outside interference (from the unforgetable Hell in a Cell match where Kane debuted, to the casket match where Kane put Undertaker in a casket and lit it with fire to the Royal Rumble 2008 where Shawn kicked out Undertaker) - it is time for revenge from Michaels. It might be the best way to put an end to the show of the 'show-stopper', that too this time at Undertaker's home-town of Houston. They are creating a lot of hype with how Shawn ended the career of Flair. This time, maybe Shawn will claim to end the show of Taker, just like Randy Orton, Mark Henry, Batista and Edge claimed, but once again the opponent will be wronged and Undertaker's streak will continue.

Everybody has their own opinion about this, depending upon their knowledge depending upon how much they have seen wrestling and depending upon their knowledge (or should I say, LACK of it).

Personally, I have watched wrestling through the golden, attitude and other eras from 1990 and I like to observe/ analyze beyond what is just shown on television, to understand the realities of it. A lot of wrestling moves are not included in the WWE.com ranking which deserve a place rather than the Stratusfaction or an elbow-drop, like the Chokeslam, the Last Ride, the Batista Bomb, the DDT, Hulk Hogan's leg-drop (personally I like the Undertaker's leg-drop off the side of the ring-apron much more due to its beauty of execution and because he is more agile despite his bigger size and jumps very high before executing it).

World Wrestling Entertainment is looked at by most fans in two means - "Wrestling" and "Entertainment". If you are a fan of "Entertainment" and you watched the attitude era the most, you are probably going to like the Stone Cold Stunner the most because I have to admit that it is very entertaining. Some of the Stunners in the past (like to Razor Ramon/ Scott Hall, Mark Henry and Jonathan Coachman) were very good because they were "sold" very well by those who received it.

However, if you are a fan of the "Wrestling" part, then the Stunner is not that notable a finisher at all. In pro-wrestling history, a lot more wrestlers have kicked out of the Stunner than compared to the Tombstone piledriver, and the Tombstone has taken down more athletes in history than any other wrestling-move.

A true wrestling "finisher" is not one which is entertaining to watch like the Stunner or the 619, but one after which the opponent is "finished" and does not get up.

Add to it the difficulty of execution, the Tombstone is much more difficult to execute and much more devastating. A real Stunner would result in the opponent having a broken jaw whereas a real Tombstone would result in a broken neck, maybe even death. That's why the execution of the Tombstone becomes very crucial. This is also why the Tombstone piledriver is also banned in many other forms of "real" wrestling at many locations world-wide.

I am sure Undertaker or any other wrestler can execute a Stunner on any opponent, however I am sure that Stone Cold cannot execute a Tombstone on big guys like Mark Henry. The Undertaker has delivered Tombstone piledrivers to even Mark Henry, and I could never believe that it was possible until I actually saw it happening. Those who have seen Summerslam in the past would remember that (ironically) Stone Cold had suffered a broken neck when Owen Hart tried a piledriver on him which was not executed properly. If you study the Undertaker's tombstones on big guys like Mark Henry, Kane, Batista, Mankind, you will realize what an amazing move it is. You need to lift the guy up and reverse him which takes a lot of effort if the guy is big, then hold him against gravity and then bring him down in the direction of gravity but at the same time make sure that his head does not touch the ground (so that his neck doesn't break) but the entire weight is taken on your own knees which is much much more difficult when the wrestler is big and heavy.

Turns out - obviously the Tombstone takes much more power, effort and skill for execution and looks more devastating (and can be, if executed in reality).

As far as other wrestling moves like Rock Bottom, People's Elbow, leg-drop, elbow-drop, DDT, FU, etc go - most of them are glorified body-slams because the wrestler was not skilled enough to execute anything better (the Rock bottom is a modified Chokeslam because the Rock was not strong enough to execute a Chokeslam like the Undertaker or Kane or Big Show, the five-knuckle shuckle is a modified people's elbow, the FU/ leg-drop/ elbow-drop/ DDT etc are all easy to execute by any wrestler).

Going as far as character-presentation gimmick and execution goes, obviously the Tombstone is also more innovative because it matches well with the "Undertaker" character of killing the opponent and burying him so that he can Rest-In-Peace, by planting a Tombstone on him. Some of the most memorable tombstones were when the Undertaker reversed a tombstone piledriver from the false Undertaker at Summerslam 1994, when he tombstoned Van Dam & Batista on the steel steps, when he tombstoned JBL and Kennedy on top of the car, when he tombstoned Mark Henry for the first time and left Kurt Angle staring in amazement, when he tombstoned Batista at Elimination Chamber 2008 (No Way Out) by reversing Batista's effort when Batista was trying to ram Undertaker's head into the steel-cage.

Perhaps the reason why the Tombstone was ranked 2 on WWE.com's ranking was that it lost some attention and mileage due to the fact that the Undertaker has introduced, always-innovated and executed many other finishers like the Chokeslam, the Last Ride, the dragon-sleeper submission move, the gogoplata-choke submission-move, the flying-clothesline (never saw any other wrestler with the other capabilities that he has too, like walking the top-rope or flying vertically over the top-rope to perform the suicide-dive for his size and age). But in reality, that stands as a credit to the Undertaker for his technical-ability as a "real" wrestler.

By far, the most successful, the best wrestling move ever and the most feared one of them all, a classic since 18 years and still going strong, and a beauty at its execution - the Tombstone piledriver.

Some people don't understand the reason why Undertaker is 16-0 at Wrestlemania, why he is called as the "Phenom" (phenomenal/ phenomenon), the Conscience of the WWE, the best-pure striker in the history of the game, the most respected athlete in the history of the business, the most dominant force in the history of pro-wrestling, the measuring-stick for all other superstars, the cover-page of the WWE history book (I made that nick-name after Jim Ross said on Raw that the Undertaker would appear on the first page if a WWE history book was written), etc.

His character is an avenger, a man who is from the dark-side/ dead/ who cannot be hurt - that's why he's not always been linked to many titles but he's been linked more with "dominance" and "destruction". There is no doubt that it is by far the most recognizable and popular gimmick of all time, starting from the Church gong to the darkness to the entrance music and the most astounding entrance to the mind-games and actions (rolling eye-balls, signalling the end by cutting the throat, the signature sit-ups in the match) to the phrases (Rest In Peace, This is My Yard)  to the wrestling moves like "Tombstone" piledriver to finish the opponent and hold his hands in a Rest in Peace position for the pin. It remains the gimmick which was selected as the 'Best Gimmick' by Wrestling Observer Newsletter for the maximum number of times, and is also widely regarded as the most effective one in common opinion - http://ezinearticles.com/?The-Best-Wrestling-Gimmicks-Of-All-Time&id=598096

While Flair and HHH might claim to have 16 or 12 titles, they all fell in front of Undertaker at Wrestlemania. His career-statistic will not read many titles but its highlight will be the fact that he never lost at Wrestlemania, and that all the other all-time greats would've fallen in front of him.

Undertaker never took drugs before any of the matches (not even the bloody ones) - that adds to his respect back-stage unlike others like whom I won't name. His wrestling-skills in terms of combination of strength/ speed cannot be matched - for such a huge body, he can walk the top rope, he can fly vertically over the top-rope (remember doing that when he flew over the top rope with the ring below on fire in the inferno match against Kane?), he has given single-handed choke-slams to guys as big as Khali, tombstone-piledrivers to guys as big as Mark Henry and double-chokeslam (one with each hand, simultaneously) to Bret Hart and Michaels. He's introduced more wrestling moves into the WWE than anyone else, some of which are the most difficult to execute safely like tombstone, choke-slam, last-ride, Gogoplata (submission choke-hold), and also the matches like Hell In A Cell, Casket Match, Last Ride match, Inferno match, Buried alive match, etc. He has shown us the most memorable wrestling moments (e.g., when he threw Mankind from the top of the cell 25 feet below to the Spanish announce table). He has made the maximum PPV appearances for WWE in history.

In short - he is the only one who has stood in the ring with opponents of all sizes/ skills in different types of matches and survived through all eras of wrestling.

He is the longest-tenuring superstar in the history of the WWE, he is the locker-room leader (nobody else has done this kind of leadership back-stage) because he is referred to as the "man who carried the WWE on his shoulders during the lean-years" (when others like Hogan/ Bret Hart/ Warrior/ Razor/ Kevin Nash went to WCW), and he has been a trainer/ mentor to many other superstars who have gained popularity through rivalries with him. His contributions to the pro-wrestling business are super-ceded by nobody else - that is what differentiates him from Hogan, Bret Hart, Stone Cold, Rock, Michaels, etc.

If we see any of the backstage interviews (check out the "Undertaker - This is My Yard" DVD), we learn that he is by far the most respected athlete in the history of the WWE, which is why he is also treated with so much respect on the stage apart from "fear for his character" which the wrestlers need to show. While fans have their own choice depending upon how much understanding and knowledge (or lack of it) they have about wrestling, one fact is clear that the WWE superstars themselves consider Undertaker to be the greatest of all time as per an interview by Kurt Angle.

Majority of the fans have the same opinion as per the voting done on WWE.com for Greatest Raw superstar in history during the 15th anniversary of Raw in which Undertaker was voted the greatest superstar in history by fans with a huge margin (also confirmed verbally by Jim Ross during the show, that in his estimation a lot of people would consider Undertaker as the greatest superstar in history and it cannot be debated) - http://www.wwe.com/shows/raw/raw15/exclusives/raw15pollresults/

Guys like Mankind, Kane, Kamala, Gonzales, Khali, Batista, Mark Henry, Orton, etc have made a living out of rivalries with Undertaker because he makes other people famous. He has also given a chance in between to other guys like Stone Cold and Rock to become popular by turning heel (evil/ bad-character) during the Ministry of Darkness days so that they get a chance to surface up as faces (heroes). Matches and rivalries with the Undertaker have been a springboard to instant success and visibility in the pro-wrestling world for many other superstars, and the ultimate test for a superstar's wrestling potential is always when he has to face the Undertaker. There is no doubt why the Undertaker is called as the "measuring stick for all other superstars". To think of it - so many characters have been derived out of the Undertaker's character (like Kane, Paul Bearer, the false Undertaker - Brian Lee the Underfaker).... many people made a career out of it. It couldn't have been done with any other character - if Kane was shown as a brother of Hogan or Stone Cold, would he have got the same popularity and attention? No.... its only Undertaker who is so effective that he can make other people famous. His character is so influential that even Indian movies have had characters derived from it.

A lot of people have talked about Michaels or Cena ending the Wrestlemania streak of the Undertaker next year. Well, such people talk about its ending every year, but it never happens. Forget it that any wrestler will ever end his Wrestlemania streak - nobody deserves to do it. The only person who can end the Undertaker's streak would be somebody who has a greater streak at Wrestlemania himself - and such a person does not exist. So it will never be broken, in my estimation. It would be the biggest let-down in the history of professional-wrestling, after which most of the veteran and current fans would perhaps stop watching it.

Orton claimed to be the legend-killer and tried to kill the legend but failed. Mark Henry stated that he is the world's strongest man so he will end the streak but he became weak in front of the dead-man. Batista claimed that he had never lost the title (he had only surrendered it once due to injury) and that he will end the streak but he lost to Taker. Edge claimed that (though he has not won all his Wrestlemania matches) he has never been pinned and has never submitted so he will end the streak, but he tapped out to Undertaker. Every time, the WWE makes a build-up in favour of the Undertaker's opponent for Wrestlemania to make it a highly anticipated and "watched" match, and then Undertaker comes for his revenge, ending victorious. This time, they will perhaps create a storyline involving Michaels as the show-stopper who stopped the show of Flair, and he will claim to shop the show of Undertaker at Wrestlemania (that too in Undertaker's home-town Houston) but will end up getting his own show stopped by Undertaker - that might perhaps be the best way to send-off Michaels from the WWE if he has chosen to retire now. It could be that Michaels wins next year's Royal Rumble and challenges Undertaker for his title. For the first time, Undertaker will defend a title at Wrestlemania but the significance of the streak is greater than the significance of the Rumble, so the streak will prevail.

In return to being the greatest athlete in terms of skill as well as attitude, in return of his contributions to the business both on-stage as well as back-stage, it seems that the WWE have perhaps decided never to end the streak at the grandest stage of them all - Wrestlemania, so let's forget about anybody coming even close to doing it. Anybody who saw Undertaker vs Batista at Wrestlemania 23 and noticed that 82% of the fans voted for Undertaker's victory and the amount of "boos" that a crowd-favourite like Batista got itself speaks for the amount of "yeahs" and respect that the Undertaker got. Why would WWE ever want to change it and lose on their fan-following by making so many fans disappointed? It is listed as the greatest record in the history of the WWE at WWE records - http://www.wwe.com/inside/news/wwerecords/ so even from a business-point of view, it makes sense for the WWE to keep it right up there otherwise he fans will be really outraged and the WWE will lose money.
