From a personal stand-point, I'd love to see HHH end it, just to watch the Internet smarks who think Taker is the greatest thing ever to happen to the WWE, it's DVD sales, and Wrestlemania, collectively freak out...but that's me.
Edge would be my second choice, as he needs to be pushed as the future, and Takers streak can make Vince a whole helluva lot more money by ending now, than keep going even one more year after this...

I think that Taker should lose at WrestleMania, but not to any of the choices listed... mainly because I don't like any of them and would rather see his streak ended to someone more deserving. I'm not saying he should lose at THIS WrestleMania, but before he retires it would make the mose sense from a business standpoint to have him put someone over at WrestleMania.
I'd save it for WWE's next monster. It's only fitting that the dead man's streak be ended by another monster.

I wish it would be Edge, personally, but I voted for "other" because there's only 3 guys I can see him jobbing to at WM, and that is Kurt Angle, Chris Benoit, or Kane.
I'm sure he'd job top HHH as well but I don't see them fighting again at WM.

I like things like the Undertaker's WM streak, so I say he shouldn't lose at the show. That said, after the upcoming debacle with Mark Henry, I think he should take his unbeaten WM record and go home. If not imediately following the show, then sometime before next year's card.
In regards to Tafkaga's comment about none of the wrestlers on the list being "deserving," who do you suggest?
If Triple H isn't deserving of a win over Undertaker at WM, then no one is.

Any of the guys Gatekeeper said would be better IMO. Sorry but Triple H will always be overrated in my book. |

If he wouldn't have been injured, I would've liked to have seen Batista end the streak this year.

Taker is an egomaniac! He will never put anyone over at Wrestlemania! He should have started to lose years ago.  |

I'm with Big Bri...Batista-UT and HHH/Cena should have been the main events, amd I would have bought WM on the merits of that...
Hell, I would have bought it on the merits of Batista-UT, just like I did Batista-HHH last year.

It's hard to say who would be the "most deserving" to finally end the streak. It should be someone who needs/justifies the amazing push that would accompany this, and I don't think anyone listed in the poll qualifies. Most of them are already over enough without that kind of help, and a couple have already "had their chance".
I'm going with "other", but I can't pin down a name. Really, it will probably be whichever lucky guy happens to be in line when Taker decides it's time, like Cal Ripkin Jr.

Tough call there. I originally wanted to say that he shouldn't lose at WM. But then again, why should any one person have that much of a legacy at the sport's premire event. I think he should lose next year and Edge should be the guy to beat him, so he can further build he Wrestlemania legacy.

Even though Benoit is my favorite wrestler, what would he gain by ending "The Streak"? He has nothing left to prove in the business. Batista or Edge could do it to cement themselves as top guys forever. |

Batista or Edge could do it to cement themselves as top guys forever. You're absolutely right. Ending the Undertaker's streak could be pretty big for whoever UT put over. It's like winning the King of the Ring, or even better... because it can only happen one time by one person. That's why I said that they should save it to put over the next big WWE monster. Batista or someone like that who they're trying to establish. It would be rather pointless to let Benoit, Triple H, Angle, or Kane do it. Those guys are already over and have very little to gain from it. It should go to one of the younger less established talents. |

Actually, I'd like to see Burchill do it. If he's pushed properly, and he can hit Taker with the
c-4 / Walk-the-plank, that would be really cool. However, Burchill needs to be pushed properly before he beats him.

I really thought they should have done it with Randy Orton last year. And if Orton hadn't been injured going into WM, I think they might have.
Orton, at that time to me, was in the perfect spot for it...Just coming off a disasterous face turn and failed title run a few months back....turning back into a heel....the egotistical legend killer gimmick...had he beat Undertaker clean with the RKO, 123, he would have been the most over heel the company has had in the last five years.
Now...I don't know. I don't see any particular guy on the roster who is in that perfect position. Unless that person comes up, I say let the Taker retire with it. He'll never be remembered as a great WWE champion, but he can have that accolade.
And calling WAY back to Swarm's original post...most of the internet smarks who hate HHH hate the Undertaker just as much. I don't think there would be much outrage.
Now, if the RVD/HHH one night stand rumors are true...and Hunter goes in there and beats RVD clean...ohhhhhh man.....people will be after his head. And THAT will be entertaining.
