Kurt angle and Taker had one of the best matches of all time at No Way Out 2006 and should have without a doubt been at Mania.
Yeah
Yeah but then undertaker would have had to win but he wanted to put Kurt over
@@chery5818 losing to the Undertaker at wrestlemania would not have derailed his career in the slightest
@@GuardianApe1224 I know i’m saying undertaker wanted kurt to win but Vince and Kurt didn’t want the streak to end there
I keep forgetting that he technically did face John Cena at WM34, but if that match had happened about 5-10 years earlier, they could've had an unforgettable classic.
Mannnnnnn 2006 -2009 variations of Cena n Undertaker were gods
John Cena in an actual match before he got to old?
Bonus: Undertaker vs Steve Austin WrestleMania 18
I've been thinking about this, Taker has had some amazing mania matches and the streak is great, but replacing some of those duds would make it all the better. Taker vs Savage at Mania 9 works as well, Taker vs Angle Mania 22 definitely should have happened, and if Sting had to lose at Mania 31 then it should have been against the deadman.
If Sting’s timeline had worked out differently, he would’ve lost to Taker at 27 instead of HHH’s second loss. Those vignettes in 2011 were meant for him if he jumped from TNA, rather than being for The Undertaker.
The streak would have been way more prestigious if they booked it as a streak to begin with.
I know they accidentally happened upon it but if they could do it again, they really should book Austin/Jericho/Rock/Guerrero/Rey/Angle/Bret/Hogan/Savage in there.
The streak started becoming a thing of legend when he started facing Edge/Orton/Batista/HHH/HBK, other top wrestlers.
Crazy that with the way Taker & Mankind’s careers crossed paths so much they never had a Mania match
I don't know where it could have slotted in but I really wish we got Undertaker vs Chris Jericho at WrestleMania.
Facts it should have been taker vs Jericho at wm30 not brock
29 maybe but that would’ve taken away the amazing Punk match. Only other one I could think of is 32
@@radiantnakashima I'm saying 30 for many reasons
18 would have worked too.
@@MrDarylPhoenix yeah
It’s been almost 10 years and I am still fumed for how WWE mistreated Sting. While it looked like his WWE run was very promising upon his phenomenal debut but unfortunately, much like Bret Hart’s entire WCW run, it was completely sabotaged from the get-go. It’s very clear that Vince McMahon brought in Sting to make his run all about WCW vs. WWE which made no sense considering the fact that at that point WCW had been dead for 14 years. Undertaker vs Sting with something that wrestling fans had been anticipating for so long but nope Vince decided against that because he likes to suck the fun out of everything. I’m so glad he’s gone now.
100% agree with you
No shit Sherlock. Why make a lengthy post about what the majority feels? It's not you're going out on a limb, or having an unpopular take.
The worst part is that he could have done WCW vs WWE using Sting vs Undertaker …
As brilliant as Vince had been at times, he should've known when to let go of being a villain.
@@timothygraham4304Hey, let the guy talk. Even if it's a common take, he's entitled to express it, and 5 sentences is hardly "lengthy" for anyone with an attention span of more than a few seconds, let alone screen clutter.
7:53 "followed by a good old fashioned hanging" 🤣
I'm so glad someone finally agrees with me that Elias and Taker should've faced at Mania 35. Especially since Taker was in a great condition at Extreme Rules 2019
We Should have had Taker vs Sting at 1 mania
Unfortunately,The Undertaker will takes on against Sting With New World Order and D Generation X at WrestleMania 31 San Francisco
i thought taker vs jericho wouldve been great too
@@muhammadwahyuhidayat21498 uh, what?
@@muhammadwahyuhidayat21498 Meh, since it's The Undertaker, they would probably replace D-X and Shawn Michaels with whatever members of Undertaker's Attitude Era group, The Ministry of Darkness, they can get, with Kane taking Michaels' place to help Undertaker get the win over Sting.
Should’ve been 31 or 18 (if Sting had made that jump). No one wanted HHH vs Sting.
I believe Sting vs Taker was also penciled for Mania 27, the thunderstorm cabin in the woods vignettes was originally meant to signal the arrival of Sting, but WWE "counted their chickens before they hatched" and were unable to get Sting who renewed with TNA who in turn parodied the vignettes to signal Stings Return. WWE diverted course and turned their vignettes into a return of the Undertaker who would be interrupted during his grand return by the return of Triple H who himself had been on a sabbatical
You’re correct: those were for Sting and pivoted to Taker when they failed to sign Sting. Had they done their diligence it would’ve been Taker at the tail of a prime streak of matches + Sting coming off his last major full-time run. Match would’ve been glorious.
My ideal replacement opponents for Undertaker's worst streak matches
WM 7 : Earthquake
WM 8: Rick Martel
WM 9: Matt Borne Doink
WM 11: Bam Bam Bigelow
WM 13: Vader
WM 15: Cactus Jack (Hardcore Match)
WM 19: Big Show (falls count anywhere or last man standing)
WM 22: Kurt Angle (two out of three falls)
WM 30: John Cena
WM 32: Sting (personal headcannon would of been to have Sting avoid the Seth Rollins match and win the HHH match)
WM 33: The Miz
WM 34: teams up with Kane vs The Bludgeon Brothers
WM 35: squashes Elias
Rock/Taker was a planned match for Mania 2000 but then Taker's injuries in 1999 threw those plans out
Eddie guerrero at wrestlemania 21 would be awesome
Naa Mania 21 had the right matches
Nah
with the exception of Mark henry from 2005 -2013,every single matches of the streak are really top notch
Orton,batista,edge,Hbk,hhh,Punk
All of them pretty much stole the show at wm with taker
So i wouldnt touch any of those match
@@tribalchief91567now looking at it
Mark Henry seems like filler n I like Henry
Just a shame he lost to Brock. Should have been Bray Wyatt 😢
he should of kept his streak alive. he should of went 29-0
then retiired
I feel like Elias would have been such a pointless match that it would have been a mark against his streak than for it. The streak became not just the number but who he was fighting as well, so to see him fighting basically the best of the best at that point then fight Elias just for a squash extra number would have felt like one of those matches we don't actually acknowledge.
True, but this was a year removed from them throwing away Cena vs. Taker by having John getting squashed under the assertion that he wasn’t planning to have to compete. And with the right build Elias could’ve been a competent opponent for The Undertaker. The aging outlaw is a trademark of country/western music, so Elias wouldn’t have been hurting for a good story. Let him run through some aging veterans and then set his eyes on slaying the most revered of the “Western gunslingers”. Even if Taker dispatched him handily it would’ve been a unique story.
@@gabepollock1641 Sure with the point about squashing Cena and it wasn't the match we wanted...but it's still Taker beating Cena at WM, a big name value regardless of the match. With Elias they could have built him and did in stages get him over but it was never that Taker level of opponent especially when it became essentially a HoF spot with Shawn, HHH, Punk, Brock, Shane, Reigns Cena, Styles, you can build Elias up but that's crazy level company he'd never reach. Daniel Bryan would potentially be a better name at that point than Elias.
I think Sheamus vs Undertaker would have actually been a good match.
yes that def should of happened at wm 27
Taker was involved in an AEW promotional weekend in 2019 that's why he was cut from the card at Mania 35
I ENJOYED THE MARK HENRY MATCH BECAUSE SEEING ‘TAKER THROW UP UP WAS AWESOME
▪️Stone Cold
▪️Bret Hart
▪️Chris Jericho
▪️Chris Benoit
▪️Eddie Guerrero
▪️The Miz
▪️Seth Rollins
▪️Daniel Bryan
▪️Kevin Owens
▪️Braun Strowman
Undertaker vs Sting
2:37 Undertaker's rapper name : MC Deadman😂 get it? MC(Mark Callaway) huh?
I'll see myself out 😅
😂😂😂
I’m convinced Sting vs Taker was supposed to be at WM32 if Sting never got hurt… Vince vs Shane storyline, Vince calls Taker, Shane calls Sting, last remnants of the Invasion storyline 😂
Rick: 'Sting, stingerino...'
good video
Need that Teddy Long, Undertaker line
Thanks 🎉
Undertaker Vs. Chris Jericho at WM 28.
WM 32 Undertaker vs Jericho should have happened rather than boring HIAC with Shanemcman
Taker vs sting is the number 1 dream but it would’ve never lived up to the hype in 2014.. obviously we really watching this match in 97-98.. but had sting signed in the early 00s that would’ve been good too
Undertaker vs. Golddust
Easier said in hindsight
Pretty easily said at the time, too.
As far as the Angle Match, I'd heard Vince didn't want Undertaker as World Champ, but also didn't want Undertaker to lose at Mania.
Wrestlemania 31 always should’ve been Sting vs Undertaker and I’ll always die on that hill. A damn shame we didn’t get the dream match the only time it was ever possible.
I'm not sure how true it is
But I'd read somewhere that takers original opponent for mania 11 was crush before they released him
It’s amazing how his streak has no value anymore since he lost
And then made it worse by making him lose AGAIN
Hulk Hogan being told he's losing to the younger Undertaker at Wrestlemania: that doesn't work for me brother
I think Wrestlemania 15(1999) should actually have been Austin vs undertaker… the rock should have faced mankind for the title there.. Austin would be screwed in the match by Vince so the steak would still continue but it would have been a memorable match in my opinion
I’ve always wanted Bret, Austin, Rock, Angle and Sting apart of the streak.
Jericho (WM25 or 26… I know, I know), Andre (WM7), Bryan (WM29; Punk in triple threat WWE title match), Finn (WM35).
I think that the Razor-Undertaker match at Wrestlemania IX would have been better. A Foley-Undertaker match at Wrestlemania would have been a let fown after their Hell in a Cell match. A squash match between the Undertaker and Elias would have been great - but people complained about the Cena-Undertaker match (which I thought was the right way to handle the match.)
But the Undertaker beating Sting at Wrestlemania XXX would have been better than ending the streak to a part timer.
These are my picks for Undertaker at Wrestlemania, & if he & these opponents were booked in a What If situation:
WM 9: Hulk Hogan - ending Hulkamania
WM 10: Bret Hart
WM 11: Ted Dibiase, King Mabel & King Kong Bundy - 3 on 1 Handicap match - Taker adding the man that introduced him at Survivor Series
WM 15: Vince & Shane McMahon & Big Boss Man - 3 on 1 Handicap Hell in a Cell match
WM 16: Stone Cold Steve Austin - No Holds Barred - if they both weren't out with injuries
WM 32: The Rock - Last Man Standing Hell in a Cell match - with Stone Cold as guest referee
WM 35: Bobby Lashley
Other picks are: Kurt Angle, Sting, Dean Ambrose: Extreme Rules match, Seth Rollins: Inferno match
😂😂
The WrestleMania 35 WAS NOT the first WrestleMania that undertaker missed, je missed 10 and 16 due to injuries i believe
Vs. Chris Jericho at Wrestlemania 18.
As much as I love Taker, Bret Hart is my all time favorite wrestler and i wouldn't trade him vs Austin at WM13 for any alternative match.
Drew vs taker could've been a banger ❤
Bam Bam Bigelow at WM 9, Kurt Angle WM 22, Sting at WM 27 or 31
What about Stone Cold Steve Austin!? I mean him and rock did have three Gary wrestlemania matches at 1517 and 19 but in between any one of those they could have faced off at one point in time
The Granddaddy of them all was Starrcade.
Austin vs Undertaker at 16 woudve been dope if they weren’t out on injury, streak wasn’t a thing yet at that time tho
Mike Awesome vs Undertaker would have been great
The Rock
Finn Baylor
Dean Ambrose
Roddy Piper
Sting
Vampiro
Jeff Hardy
Scott hall
Hulk Hogan
Kurt Angle
P.s John Cena I would have put for an actual match but it was a 3mim so it counts lol
Ambrose would’ve sucked
Vampiro? lol
I'm surprised that Taker VS Mankind never happened at WM. Every match they had was gold and it would have been perfect for any Wrestlemania from 13 through to 16. Personally, I think Taker did a great job at getting a good match out of Sid which was no easy task, but when you consider that this was at the height of his feud with Mankind, maybe there could have been a way for them to face off at WM13 instead. Vince was never going to put the belt on Mick at that point, but maybe the belt could have been vacated due to Sid being injured or perhaps Sid could have lost it to Taker at the previous PPV. Or maybe have Taker win the belt from HBK at the Royal Rumble then have Mankind replace Taker in the weird ending of the Royal Rumble match and lead to having him face Taker at WM13. They would face off for the title soon after at Revenge Of The Taker so they could simply move that story line forward a bit. Mankind was Taker's greatest rival and the person with whom he had his best matches so it's a shame that they never got to face off at Wrestlemania.
To be fair, Hell in a Cell created so many complications of raised bars, 'Taker and Mick would've had to have damn near killed each other (again)
However, that run of 'Manias from '98 to '02 were literally perfect for a final Mankind vs. Undertaker match, or for an utterly batshit crazy Cactus Jack vs. Undertaker match. Mick wouldn't have even needed to move that much, just hit 'Taker with his normal move-set accentuated by foreign objects in the spots. '01 'Taker that sold a lot would've really shined for Mick's craziest ideas for submission holds using foreign objects
It wasn't at Wrestlemania, but we've already seen Rock vs Undertaker.
1 - Sting interferes at Survivor Series
2 - Sting defeats Triple H at the Royal Rumble
3 - The Undertaker defeats Sting at WrestleMania 31
It was right there.
Agree on: Dusty at VII, Jeff Hardy at XIX, Razor at IX, Vader at XIII, Mankind at XV.
Disagree on: Elias at 35 (Taker vs KO works more for me), Kama at XI (rather have Taker vs DiBiase as the latter's official final match), Hogan at VIII (Taker being the first to defeat Piper by pinfall clean looks and sounds a lot better, Bret and Jake would have been my IC Title match) and Sting at 31 (Taker vs Ambrose sounds better)
Dream scenarios: Taker vs Bray at XXX (Taker never faces Lesnar and The Streak is still alive), Taker vs Sting at 32 (instead of Shane), Taker vs Cena for the WWE Title at 33, Taker vs Braun or Elias at 34 (probably Elias, don't want to kill Braun's momentum at the time any further by losing), Taker vs Aleister Black at 37 (2 year Spiritual level Master vs Apprentice storyline comes to a culmination) and Taker vs Tribal Chief Roman at 38 for the Title (Roman defeats Taker, breaks The Streak and Taker retires in Texas).
FWIW Ted couldn’t wrestle by 95. When he first left the WWF in the fall of 93 he was working in Japan (I believe AJPW but I may be wrong), and he injured his back. The corporation was an on screen way to avoid him having to wrestle because his body couldn’t handle it at that point.
@@gabepollock1641 Yeah, I didn't express myself well in that one, should have put it as a dream type of scenario, but you can't disregard the fact that a lot of cool storyline options could have been executed with Taker wrestling and retiring the guy who introduced him to WWE fans in kayfabe, his menthor so to speak.
Alternate WM30 opponent for The Undertaker: Bray Wyatt.
Wyatt was still undefeated. Why not make him the new final boss of WWE by being the one to out psych The Undertaker and break the streak?
Be a better result than Cena and Lesnar getting wins they didn't need.
Obviously Sting vs taker was everybody's dream match mine too, but i feel like wwe could have made two more matches , taker vs stone cold and taker vs rock, none of these ever happened at mania, both matches would have made huge draw and ratings.
Streak NEVER should have been broken!!
Here’s my alternative opponents for The Phenom at WrestleMania:
1. WrestleMania VII: Dusty Rhodes (1-0)
2. WrestleMania VIII: Sid Justice (2-0)
3. WrestleMania IX: Papa Shango (3-0)
4. WrestleMania XI: Yokozuna (4-0)
5. WrestleMania 13: Vader or Mankind (WWF Championship Match) (6-0)
6. WrestleMania XV: Kane (8-0)
7. WrestleMania XIX: Chris Benoit (11-0)
8. WrestleMania 22: Kurt Angle (14-0) (Randy Orton would win the vacant World Heavyweight Championship in the Battle Royal & would defend the title against Rey Mysterio who won the 2006 Royal Rumble Match to get this match)
9. WrestleMania XXIX: Chris Jericho (21-0)
10. WrestleMania XXX: John Cena (22-0)
13. WrestleMania 31: Sting (23-0)
14. WrestleMania 32: Brock Lesnar (Move their HIAC 2015 match up to here & have Taker go over) (24-0)
15. WrestleMania 33: Bray Wyatt (In a perfect world, The Undertaker wins the 2017 Royal Rumble Match & chooses to fight Bray Wyatt for the WWE Championship in the main event of WM 33. Wyatt ends The Streak at 24-1 & Taker leaves his stuff in the ring, seemingly announces his retirement.) (24-1)
Despite Hulk hogan, Mick Foley, the Rock, Kurt Angle, and of course Sting being on this list, here's mine anyway.
Goldberg at wrestlemania 20
Bret Hart at wrestlemania 11
Stone cold at wrestlemania 13
Chris Jericho at wrestlemania 19
Ultimate warrior at wrestlemania 5
Randy Savage at wrestlemania 7
Seth Rollins at wrestlemania 33
Rey Mysterio at wrestlemania 24
Jbl at wrestlemania 22
Demon Finn Baylor at wrestlemania 32
I loved Taker's match with Batista at WM23, but it should have been Cena. Both of them in their prime
My 10 picks would be
Sting
Mankind
Bret hart
The Rock
Stone Cold
Hulk Hogan
Chris Jericho
Kurt Angle
Eddie Guerrero
Vader
Even tho Punk & Taker had a great match at WM 29, I forever stand on the idea of adding Punk to the main event, and doing Taker vs Jericho
It was way better than the rock vs cena match
What is "problematic" about Snuka being the first guy of Taker's streak?
In the 2002 rumble. Maven wasn’t supposed to eliminate undertaker instead it was a botched attack resulted in takers elimination so if it maven hadn’t fcked it up. And taker eliminated him instead if taker had won we could’ve gotten the rock vs taker match. Which was actually almost foreshadowed before the rumble match began
Sucks that by the time taker was ready to go for 31, the triple h - Sting ball was already rolling and it was too late to back out of it by then.
Crazy triple h faced him 3 times
The Snuka and Giant Gonzalez matches were the worst with Taker vs Big Show & A-Train when Jokes couldn’t be trusted to do more than a big boot. Definitely could’ve done better at the booking table than those 3 matches
Rock vs Undertaker was discussed at wrestlemania 29
Well we should all thank Vince McMahon for depriving us Undertaker vs Sting. Every wrestling fan wanted to see that dream match happen but unfortunately Vince didn’t want it.
Thank GOD that man isn’t around anymore 💯👍🏾
Sting
Taker should have taken Hulk Hogan at mania 19, 22 Kurt Angle, 27 Wade Barrett full nexus leader mode, 30 john Cena full length, 31 Sting,32 Rusev full russian blood mode, 33 Dean Ambrose hell in a cell, 34 Seth rollins, 35 scottish psyco drew McIntyre, 36 phenomenal Aj Styles, 37 the fiend, 38 roman Reigns
Before I get to the end, number 1 is sting, isn't it
Haven’t watched yet, but #1 should be The Undertaker from another WWE Universe
To hell with Career Vs. Streak, we need Streak vs. Streak and Reality Vs. Reality.
The problem with Hogan is he wouldn’t have taken a pin. Taker has voiced his opinion on Hogan and let’s just say he’s not fond of the bloke.
I'm sorry I've never looked at Elias and said oh I want to see him face the undertaker at mania
Undertaker vs Earthquake
He could've also retired Angle at WM35. Wouldn't of been a pretty match, but a short 5-minute finisher-fest would've sufficed.
Vader-Yokozuna-BretHart-Sting-Mankind-BokerT-JBL-Goldberg-Rock-Austin.. My list is Better.. 😆
Not getting Sting up against Taker HURTS. We could've had someone who wasn't a complete douche end the streak, and it could've legitimized his wins over Hogan. As a bonus, Sting could've been his more colorful classic self for that match only. But I guess one never just _plays_ the Big Bad of one's wrestling outfit if they want to make that ""role"" work, so f••• us.
Will always be disappointed that we never had Sting/Taker at Mania…we all bit so hard at that fake Joker poster years before Sting joined WWE, and then when he got there…and we got Sting/HHH instead…ugggh
Love you Cultaholic but don’t be pretending the casket match at WM22 wasn’t far better than it should’ve been. That match rules.
Maven!
I think we could've had Rock vs Undertaker at Wrestlemania 32. Think about it they both wrestled on that night and they had crap opponents
I was trying to figure out what these would be in my head before the video.
Could not have predicted Jeff Hardy for WM19 and yet it makes so much sense! That would have been brilliant at the time
It wouldn't have been brilliant. Jeff was at his lowest in WWE at this point and was unreliable and sloppy in ring.
If he was over his demons, different story, but he wasn't. The match would have suffered greatly.
Undertaker vs Kurt Angle 2006
Undertaker Vs John Cena 2009
Would’ve cooked
I disagree with WM19. The botch was making it a tag match, it should have just been Taker vs Big Show in a singles
Haa! 3:22
Is this the most intense head pat Ever?
😆👍
unpopular opinion Undertaker didn't need to fight the same people he beat at Wrestlemania back to back (HHH-HBK) 🤷🏾
Why not Beth Phoenix, or Asuka, or Charlotte Flair?
Kama VS Taker happened at several In Your House shows and it was never that great of a match. If I were to pick someone from Ted's group to face Taker though, I'd probably go with Tatanka.
Wrestlemania IX Bam bam Bigelow vs undertaker sounds better
*Remembers Giant Gonzalez match*
😑😑
10:44 sting fighting triple H actually makes sense. He cost the authority their authority. I doubt triple H would've taken that lying down. Sting def should've gone over tho
Bringing in the NWO to help Sting in that match with Triple H made zero sense to anyone not named Vince McMahon!
Honestly Taker could've had possibly amazing classics in his early years it he had the right opponents during that time to work with Taker's slow style at the time. Like how we never had Bret vs Taker at Mania or we could've had Mania 13 Taker vs HBK but again someone lost their smile. Also I know I know that this has already been said like 1000 times already but Taker should've never lost to Brock at Mania 30.
Undertaker could have faced Kurt Angle or Chris Benoit at WrestleMania 2006.
Mordecai better be in the list
Ricky steamboat wm 9
Yokozuna wm 10
razor Ramon wm 12
Austin wm 16
Hollywood rock wm 19
Eddie Guerrero wm 22
John Cena wm 30
Seth Rollins wm 32
Seth Rollins would have been a good opponent for the Undertaker considering he's this generation's Mr Wrestlemania.
