this is why wwe sucks rear end, they have to do this kayfabe bending bullshit to get anyone to perk their ears up because they cant tell a compelling story with the characters they have.

Taker needs to be forcefully retired. He brings nothing anymore. At least the streak was something.

One time a guy stole some downhill skis out of my jeep and I was so mad I punched a mailbox. I'm against crime, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
If they really feel the need to have Taker on the card it seems it would make more sense to have him team with Black against the OC. You could have Black work most of the match and Taker just do his big moves.

If it were a 3-on-1 handicap match, with all three guys legal at the same time, I'd still expect Taker to dominate the match.

F4W recap posted:

Styles remembered seeing Taker get beat by Roman Reigns at Mania three years ago before taking off his hat and gloves and laying them down in the ring. Taker raised his arm in the air as if to signal he was done. Styles said Taker probably should have done that when Brock Lesnar ended his streak, “but whatever.”

It was a beautiful moment three years ago, but Taker ruined his own moment.


quote:

Ten or fifteen years ago, Styles might’ve been worried about calling out Taker, but now he’s just a broken-down old man named Mark Calaway.

Styles said Taker should have retired ten years ago.

quote:

I’m going to make sure you die in that ring at WrestleMania. I am gonna take the Undertaker's soul at WrestleMania. I’m gonna do exactly what his wife wants me to do at WrestleMania.

quote:

Styles said he would literally put the nail in Taker’s coffin.

Styles isn't retiring Taker, so chalk up one more predictable Mania match

After 2000-2001 Nitro, if I owned a wrestling company I'd fine everyone for any instance of breaking kayfabe on camera or social media. Any charity event or nice thing you do while heel, you gotta look miserable or roll your eyes in all the pictures. If you use any insider terms in any promos you get no mic time for 6 months.

Plz just turn him face next show. And don't do the Alexa Bliss fake face turn for crowd heat where you pretend to be sincere then go "JK LOL". Or I guess Sami literally did that last time he returned from injury so... don't do it again. Can we get a YOU PEOPLE face turn promo instead of a heel one for once?

Lol I was wondering how this was going. Sounds like the answer is not good. There's only a couple more weeks of the season isn't there?
