Now that the streak is dead I'm down with Sting vs Undertaker as long as Undertaker is healthy and Sting can take his shirt off before getting in the pool.

I mean I'd really prefer Taker vs. Cena but I also can't think of a better opponent for Sting really.

I just think it'd be more interesting to see the build-up for Cena vs. Taker, as long as it's more in the vein of Taker stabbing Lesnar at the contract signing, etc. Making Taker back into an actually despicable heel again on his way out would be fantastic.

It still seems odd to me to have the finish involve Orton attacking Kane, the one guy he should be sucking up to because he's going to try and help you win the belt on Sunday. Add on to that the only thing the injury on Rollins really does is give kayfabe justification for having Ambrose vs. Rollins not happen and why would you ever want that?

Cena vs Undertaker was a really cool and intriguing streak match up because it was hard to believe even Cena would break the streak, but he's Cena. As just a match it doesn't have that kind of intrigue to me.

If Goldust can do hurricanranas in the year of our lord 2014, I'm sure Sting will take his shirt off before getting in the pool.

I'll be honest I think I'd die laughing if they turned Taker heel just to feed him to Cena.

"I'd like to see Cena vs Taker with Taker as the heel, that would be cool!" isn't fantasy booking.

"Okay here's the deal, so Cena comes out and he's cutting this promo about he's the champ and nobody can beat him, right? Then he goes through a series of matches and beats everybody, and no matter who he beats he just doesn't seem to be happy and he keeps cutting promos about how the champ is only as good as the competition. Finally he has this long drawn out feud with Bad News Barrett who is the only guy can give him pause - it's a great feud, all the matches are really great and the crowd loves them and merchandising is through the roof but Cena still doesn't seem happy. Finally he beats Barrett in the definitive blow-off match and the next night he comes out on Raw and is all,"I've beaten everybody there is and the fact is that it means nothing to me anymore, I no longer have the fire I need to be THE CHAMP, so it is with a heavy heart that I announced my retir-" but THEN the gong sounds and the lights go out. When they come back up, Cena is laid out in the ring and Undertaker is standing over him holding the title. "Not everybody, John!" declares Undertaker,"For you see I am the shepard of lost souls, and yours is a very lost soul indeed! I challenge you for your title, and once I have defeated you, then and only then will I allow you to retire, a beaten cur that I grind beneath my boots!" Taker drops the belt on Cena and leaves, but as the show is going off the air, Cena stirs and looks up and HE'S SMILING and now the crowd know he has refound the spark in his life, the passion to be the best. Thank me later for the idea, WWE :smug:" - THAT is fantasy booking.

Undertaker should still get one more moment in the sun, even if Vince sticks to the old "everyone has to go out on their back" adage. He's the motherfucking Undertaker.

Have him pop up through the ring at Wrestlemania and cost Lesnar the title or something.

The Miz would be a good guy to throw the IC title on for a bit, I think. He's definitely one of the several guys on the roster who could actually benefit from holding a midcard title. Throwing midcard titles on guys like Sheamus or Cesaro or whatever is pretty pointless.

And I've always liked that DDT.

I can think of maybe one guy in the company right now that uses a DDT as a regular move, who shouldn't be using it as his finisher, and that guy is Dean Ambrose. Dolph and The Miz both use DDT"s that vastly outshine their respective finishes.

Paige has that wicked Cradle DDT "The Ram-Paige" as a finisher (why are all her move names so good? Except PTO, which should remain the Scorpion Crosslock for all time), and if the one match he's won in the last two years is any indication Heath Slater's finisher is also a DDT.

Cena vs. Taker would have been a better build if the streak was still in tact, because Cena was the one guy who everyone thought could feasibly end it. I think without the streak, Taker vs. Sting is a more intriguing matchup.

Doesn't Taker vs. Sting have the opposite effect though? There's no way they'd have Taker lose two in a row, especially against someone primarily known for his WCW career. Taker vs. Cena...welllll.....I'm honestly not sure who would win that one.

Welp, my sincere apologies to all goons in the Raw thread that I was trying to correct who thought he was working the injury. Clearly you were right and I don't know anything and I'm a dope. So, my bad. :shobon:

That being said, him working an injury like that still served a dumb purpose.

Regardless of how good his career actually was, Sting is a huge draw. Personally, I think Taker would go over, but I'm not so sure it's that clear cut now that the streak is over.

The appeal of Taker and Sting (for me at least) would be seeing the over-the-top theatrics and incredible visuals that the WWE would come up with - the Undead Biker Demon Soul-Collector vs the Silent Avatar of Justice, two icons who for many absolutely represent the two biggest wrestling promotions of all time and have never met in the ring.
