Undertaker officially out of WM34

[TheManTheyCalledNorCal]

According to WONL and SI, The Undertaker is officially out of Wrestlemania 34.

Thank God. I truly hope he never goes near a ring again...not because I don't like him, but because I DO like him and he absolutely embarrassed himself last year. I don't want people's last images being that of someone so deteriorated. Had I known they did never use the streak to get someone over id have wished he walked away after the sseries with triple H.

Hmm...

This may be the smark in me but it seems all too convenient that this is coming to light now. It all makes sense too but why would Cena even mention Taker on Monday night if they had no interest in making the match actually happen? It might be a tease or it might have been an explanation but it seems ridiculous to me that WWE would tease us with the Taker match, out and out reference it, and then not do it. Throughout all of the talk, I had a feeling that it was all a work to get us off the trail and this latest rumours has only just begun to sway my opinion.

Call me a cynic Dave, but I think they had Cena mention Undertaker to get fans thinking that when Cena showed up on Smackdown, that Undertaker might show up to his old stomping grounds, saying something about how SD doesn't play by the same rules as Raw. Plus, you know how they kind of have Cena do the whole "I'm in on what the smarks want." thing from time to time.

I'm with Norcs on this. I like Undertaker too much to see him putting on piss poor performances. A few years back, when Rey had gotten all fat and started wearing a shirt and messing up his knee every other week, I was ready for him to hang it up because he wasn't the same guy I used to enjoy. Rey got better working a lighter schedule, getting into better shape, roiding up, and not being 50+ with shot hips. Taker isn't going to have that happen, bar him being an actual servant of the Dark and performing some ritualistic shit where he steals the youth of children....and I'd pay to see that.

Guess the two biggest Undertaker dream matches will never happen. Cena & Sting. Wasted opportunities through the years.

Never mind, he gave us huge moments throughout the years.

His last four Mania matches have been underwhelming, so yeah, he better stay out and not continue to leave us a bitter taste, if he can't go any more.

Good, now we won't have to witness the guy get hurt in the ring and escorted out by paramedics...but before they all walk under the tron, he'll raise his fist one more time?

['Ravishing' Ned Flanders]

All i can say is good.

He hasn't been up to snuff in yeats and hopefully this is true as no one wants to see him hurt himself. He's done enough for the fans, he doesn't need to get back in the ring.

[Bill Lesnar]

Bill Lesnar said he might have done enough for the fans, but he does need to get back in the ring and face John Cena. Bill Lesnar said it's a dream match that needs to happen. The match will be worth it no doubt.

[Slyfox696]

I hope this is true. The Undertaker match has been a waste of time for years. The last time the Undertaker match was at all interesting was when Lesnar broke the streak. Undertaker needs to be done for good and just show up when it is time for his HOF induction.

[FunKay]

The Observer is now reporting that Taker is still in frame to be Cena's opponent and that the Mysterio stuff is a smokescreen...these boys flip flop more than that Ricochet/Ospray match Vader hates...

Normally I give Uncle Dave a pass on his false reports because he has a better record than most about correcting his mistakes or saying his report ended up false, but lately he has been off a lot. Maybe this is just him having people throw out everyone possible angle as a report so he technically right when it happens.
