Hall of Justice No. 6: Deadman, Chris Benoit, and Future Leaders

2) Much talk has been made about The Undertaker's impending retirement. The debate has been raging whether or not the WrestleMania streak should be broken. What is your thoughts on the illustrious streak? To break or not to break?

Dub: "On one hand, ending The Streak would be a huge push for a young up and comer. On the other hand Undertaker has done so much for the business, and even more for the WWE itself, it is hard to justify ending The Streak.

Honestly, I have to say no, let The Streak stand. It is probably the biggest part of the Deadman's legacy, it would be a shame to see it end, also I don't have faith in the WWE to continue the push of whoever would end The Streak.

It would be a shame to see someone end The Streak, then subsequently be buried, or forgotten about. Leave The Streak alone; the man has earned at least that much, and deserves more than what he has got."

Nefatiri: "I want his streak broken. Streaks are made to be broken and this is one streak I'd love to see killed. Call me harsh, but it is what it is.

I am a huge fan of The Undertaker. Growing up, he was probably my third or fourth favorite star behind Shawn [Michaels], Bret [Hart] and [Steve] Austin. It was cool watching him defend that illustrious streak year after year but now I want to see it end. And not because I want to see the angry faces of his marks. I want it used to make someone a big star.

I'm all about making the WWE a better company and this could certainly help someone get way over in a good...or bad way. As long as it's not Cena, I don't really care who they choose to push. Be it DiBiase, JoMo (my first pick), Ziggler, Truth, Smith...doesn't matter to me.

Hell, I wouldn't care if Orton did it. Say what you want, but he IS supposed to be The Legend Killer and it would put him way over Edge or Jericho in the heel dept. Ha Ha.

And before people start jumping down my throat about it, I'm going to state that I'm sure The Undertaker has enough pull in the company to keep his streak if he so chooses. However, I'd be willing to bet that if The Undertaker thought ending his streak would benefit the company, he'd do it. I'm also pretty sure he'd get some say so over who gets to end it, too. So, hell yeah. End the streak."

Kevin: "If The Undertaker was anything less than 8-0 at WrestleMania, then I would say that it would be OK to end his streak to get a younger talent over, or against a guy like Shawn Michaels.

As it is, the 'Taker is 17-0, and I think a loss to Jesus himself would taint the Deadman's WrestleMania streak. Now, that we have seen Undertaker versus Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania, I don't think there is any veteran in the locker room worthy enough of snapping The Undertaker's unbeaten streak.

Then there's the talk of having him lose to an up-and-coming talent to put them over big time. I also think this would be a huge mistake. I hear Ted DiBiase Jr.'s name is being tossed around to someday end the streak. The thing about using The Undertaker's streak to put a younger talent over is that you never know how long that superstar is going to last, and what their legacy will be when it is all said and done.

Upon his return, Ken Kennedy looked as though he was about to get a huge WWE Title push, only to be released soon after his return. The wrestling business is so unpredictable that I wouldn't risk having any young talent beat The Undertaker at WrestleMania. 

Wrestling is different from other sports where the writers choose the outcome of the match. It would be a different story of the Undertaker was 17-0 as say, an MMA fighter, and then lost because the other guy was better than him in that particular match.

The fact that wrestling's outcomes are predetermined means that whether or not the Deadman remains undefeated at WrestleMania is in the hands of the writers. It would be the ultimate sign of respect and appreciation to The Undertaker, the WWE's most loyal and respected employee, if he is allowed to retire undefeated at WrestleMania."
