The Undertaker Not Out Of The Plans For Wrestlemania 29

I still think he should sit this year out and they should focus on what they should do next year. I feel there is not enough time from now to Mania to build they hype around Takers streak. If I was Taker Id be pissed too about taking a backseat to Brock and Rock. The streak to me should be second main event.

The only downside I see to a Taker/Punk match is that would put Punk at three losses in a row at PPVs. Unless Taker was going to put Punk over, but I don’t even want to get into that mess of worms.

Taker/Punk would be cool to see, but with given The Undertaker’s health, he might be better suited for a brawling type of match to mask his deficiencies a little. Not taking anything away from CM Punk’s tremendous in-ring ability, but I’m a little concerned with how believable it would look with those two. For that type of contest the first name that comes to mind is Brock Lesnar. It doesn’t look like they’re headed in the direction of Brock/Taker, but a lot can happen in 2 months. And they might not need as much time to set up the feud, since there’s already a built-in storyline between the two. If they went the way of Punk/Taker, I feel the match would need a bit more of a setup. Undertaker would have to return by next week to get the ball rolling, otherwise Punk would have nothing to do and appear a bit less important with everything else that’s going on with the ‘Mania build.
At this point it might be easier not to have The Undertaker compete. But he should still make an appearance. It can’t be WrestleMania without The Deadman. Maybe then they can plant the seeds for his final(?) match next year.
