Kinda.

In a perfect world, I'd like to see an up and comer feud with Taker for a good 6 months and have it culminate with a win over Taker at Mania.

But that would require Taker to be around more and I don't think he wants that anymore. In which case, use the streak to elevate someone from a great to a legend.

It's also a very dangerous thing to do.

You don't want to waste a push like that on someone who will flame out and not live up to it. Suppose they would have put Jack Swagger over Taker at WrestleMania in 2010 back when Swagger was initially over. It would have been a huge mistake. He wasn't prepared to live up to a push like that. That's just one example. I can't think of an up-and-comer right now who could legitimately look like a threat to Taker's streak or be taken seriously after beating him. Not even Dolph Ziggler is on that level, as much as I like him.

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

I have MANY years of experience in trying to appreciate steaming piles of dogshit.

Good thoughts Kid.

I think all things considered Taker should win the next 2 Mania matches and ride off into the sunset with his perfect streak.

There really isn't anyone that could handle that push right now. Cena and Punk do not need it. You do not give it to someone just to give it to them.

It's kind of weird that one of Shawn's 50 nicknames is Mr. Wrestlemania considering 'Taker's streak, not to mention Taker's wins there over Shawn.

No, it's because Shawn is out of control and had to have 50 nicknames.

I would cover for SHARK, Drop In, Dave in Champaign, my Mom, and Urlacher's Missing Neck. After that, the list gets pretty thin. There are a few people about whom I would definitely fabricate charges.

No, it's because Shawn is the greatest there has ever been and he always shined brightest at Mania.

I never said I didn't recognize his greatness. I just said that I don't like him.

Do you not like him? Or his character? Or his work in the ring? I need a back story here. If you think he is a phony jerk, I at least kind of get that. HBK is one of my all-time faves though I swing back and forth on him as an actual person.

He is an above average performer but not in the top 5 top 10 maybe.

I have MANY years of experience in trying to appreciate steaming piles of dogshit.

Terrible thought.

You may not like HBK and how he did things in his career, but to be so blinded by your hate that you cannot see that he is clearly a top 5 guy of all time is just pathetic.

Sure he did some bad things, but every guy who made it big in this business has a long line of issues as well. And I find it sad that you would call his faith fake as well. I have heard him speak and write about his faith many times and it always comes across as real. And the testimony of many who were around him after his conversion speak about it being real as well.

I fall more in line with chas' thinking of Michaels.

He's a definite top 10, but I don't think he's top 5.

Hell,I rank HHH higher than Shawn.

Surely you do not just see him as an "above average" performer. That was the comment that really irked me.

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

I think these Top 5, Top 10 type lists really need to be more specific. The greater majority here really seem to value workrate, whereas it's not really even in my Top 3 of things I like about wrestling.

Shawn absolutely has to be Top 5 as a worker.

Now if you're going Top 5 Promo Guy, I have him nowhere near that list.

Just a thought.

See, I can't really do an overall list because of what I just said up there. I would severely devalue some things, like work rate for instance, because it just doesn't matter nearly as much to me as it does to others.
