The subject of Undertaker’s streak was discussed in booking this past week. The idea of someone beating Undertaker has always been talked of as a way to make a new superstar’s career, and not something you’d do for an established star. Generally the feeling had been that Undertaker would never lose at Mania. Vince said he wasn’t opposed to the idea but it has to be with a guy everyone agreed was a sure thing. He didn’t want to waste something big on a “maybe” guy. People will be leery because of Lesnar and Lashley, as Lesnar could have been a prime candidate if they were open-minded about it in, say, 2003 but that year was always built around Lesnar-Angle as the dream match and by 2004, they had the Goldberg dream match and then it was over. A lot of names were talked about, but nobody could agree on a guy. DiBiase was the most talked about and Vince came out very high on him, but it’s nothing they feel could be done by next year. It was brought up as a potential thing for years down the line, if DiBiase ends up as the next Orton (which is obviously the goal, but hopefully without the immaturity as well as injury prone nature Orton has demonstrated in the past). There is an idea of a long-term story bringing up that Ted’s father in storyline introduced Undertaker to WWF.

CBlog XXVIV- WWE Cyber Sunday Predictions By Cassidy Haslett on 22 October 2008 I realize I have been getting less frequent with the blogs, but do not lose faith, I just happened to notice that I was posting a lot more blogs than anyone else on W101 and I thought I should have fewer ones. Anyways, as the title says, I will provide my predictions for Cyber Sunday. [...]   CBlog XXVIII- No Mercy, RAW and Cyber Sunday By Cassidy Haslett on 8 October 2008 I know it’s been a little while since I’ve done a blog, but I’m back to give my thoughts on No Mercy, RAW, and the upcoming Cyber Sunday pay-per-view on October 26 (which, coincidentally, is CM Punk’s birthday and he is also the featured star on the poster). Let’s start with this past Sunday’s No Mercy [...]   CBlog XXVII- RAW, SmackDown and No Mercy By Cassidy Haslett on 18 September 2008 I did not post a blog last week because I did not feel that RAW was really worth posting a blog about. It was okay, but nothing much to discuss. This week, there is a bit more to discuss and I also wanted to provide my thoughts on SmackDown and the current line-up for No [...]   CBlog XXVI- Thoughts on WWE Unforgiven 2008 By Cassidy Haslett on 9 September 2008 The 10′th WWE Unforgiven in Cleveland was just awesome and worth the $39.95 I paid. Sure, every match was not great, but I look at the overall when I judge a pay-per-view. Here are my thoughts on Unforgiven:   CBlog XXV- WWE RAW, Rey and Unforgiven By Cassidy Haslett on 2 September 2008 RAW was average to me this week. Granted, it may have been better had there not been spoilers on every single wrestling site or in every wrestling email I got after RAW was taped this past Sunday. It was nice to see Randy Orton make an appearance on RAW, even though it would have been [...]
