17-0?
Well, the month of February has already begun and I know for a fact that right now, most wrestling fans are probably thinking ahead. Probably gathering up their money and getting it ready for Wrestlemania XXV. The one thing on our minds as Wrestlemania XXV is constantly plugged is, Will The Undertaker retain his streak and move it up to 17? Who will he face and defend it against? Will he or will he not have a title or compete for one? Many speculate or possibly want the Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels to face The Undertaker at Wrestlemania XXV which would most definitely make it one hell of an epic match, the last and final HBK-Taker go-around for their careers.
Personally, I'd like to see CM Punk get himself a shot at that streak because Punk is one hell of an up and comer, he's most definitely going to stay within the WWE considering he is a Triple Crown winner. I know some haven't, but exactly how valued was Kurt Angle considering WWE really didn't fight to keep him? Some want Taker's streak to just end but in all honesty, I think that his streak, and to see if it extends to another double digit is why most fans pay to see Wrestlemania. Then, there are some who want his streak to just end because they feel it's getting ridiculous but you know what? Who cares what Taker haters have to say because in all likelihood, they are probably Gene Snitsky fans anyways.
If I had to name a few possible opponents, Here is how the list would go:
1. Shawn Michaels
HBK and Taker need one more epic match before their careers come to their ends. Back when Taker was choosing after his Rumble win, HBK had wanted to face Taker and I think that it would have been a great match. Those two would tear the house down easily in a Brand Supremacy match of some kind. Maybe a HBK-Taker HIAC one more time??? Well, we can only hope right?
2. CM Punk
I think it's time that Punk move up fast and head over to Smackdown! Because RAW is obviously given him everything he needs. Now it's time for Punk to head over to SD! And earn the WWE Championship or at least a few shots at it. Taking on The Undertaker would most definitely get him huge points especially if they had ever let Punk end his streak, which wouldn't happen but regardless, if he had lost to Taker, even at WM, it doesn't matter, points in Punks favor for hanging with the WWE Vet.
3. Chris Jericho
I think with both their heads and creativity, Jericho and Taker could most definitely tear the house down in any type of epic match even at WM. Both are very great athletes and could amaze the hell out of the crowd.
4. Jeff Hardy
This man has been on one hell of a road throughout his life and I think that if you pit Jeff against Taker again, especially after that ladder match they had once upon a time ago for the WWE championship, they tore down the house then, and I'm pretty sure they could do it again.
5. Vladimir Koslov
These two. Koslove vs. Taker at Wrestlemania XXV. Streak vs. Streak match. Though The Undertaker would win considering, well, his veteran status with the company and many riding on the Undertakers band wagon and WWE giving us fans what we want to see (Takers streak extension), Koslov would be a great opponent for Undertaker and it would be very interesting to see what goes down considering Taker is undefeated at Mania and Koslov is just plain old undefeated.
6. Ted Dibiase
This would definitely be a dream of mine considering I am a huge fan of his father, and Money, Inc. Though Ted Jr. is a bit new still, I am not so sure this could happen now or probably even ever but it would be interesting to see another "Old vs. New School" match and this time, with a newer superstar.
7. Sim Snuka
One word. PAY BACK! Hahaha! Well, Taker did put the nail in the coffin on Superfly and it gave The Undertaker his first Wrestlemania win and I think to see a mega huge feud with Sim and Taker would be a great thing for the both of them and could bring Sim way up as far as stardom goes.
8. Umaga
This was supposed to be something that was going to happen but I don't know how true it is anymore. But with Umaga's power, I would love to see both of these Super Heavyweights collide and throw down because Umaga is definitely one of those guys who could just pull it out and steal a win and make you get on the edge of your seat for something like ending Taker's streak.
So who will Undertaker face at WrestleMania XXV? Will he retain or will his streak end? In time, we will see what's going to happen from here and when it comes, we will see.
Now, your thoughts.
