WWE WrestleMania 28: 4 Ways to Enhance the Feud of Triple H vs. Undertaker

A collective groan was heard across the cyber-realm when the famed IWC came to terms with the fact that bad-wig Undertaker was walking out to confront Triple H.

I was one of them, and you have reasons to blame me and reasons to not do so (I'd prefer it if you don't blame me though—just saying).

They are, after all, the remaining two big legends still wrestling in the Internet era and they surely know how stuff works around here.

No one has had the distinction of facing The Phenom at WrestleMania thrice, and if HHH does it twice despite not having rock-solid storylines and stipulations, then we need something else for this third run. 

Something else doesn't imply blindfold matches. Hunter might need it if the dead-wig flopping makes him chuckle.

Sorry, but I hate aesthetic aberrations on picture-perfect stars. Imagine a new and improved Dolph Ziggler without his trademark hair. Yeah, done and failed.

1. Hell in a Cell: Walking Around Makes Me Tired

Even though the increased rarity and molly-coddling of Hell in a Cell matches has nothing to do with prestige and everything to do with two hated initials (PG, jeez), this aforementioned rarity has further intensified the thirst of fans for intense wrestling.

Hell in a Cell matches speak for themselves. It's been a while since people climbed cells and then well, threw them down. Come on, climbing down is just anti-climax.

I'm not sure how many bumps these two can take anymore, but a final brawl on the top of the cell at WM 28 would definitely provide the picture of finality—of this stretched feud, of the streak and of the career of Undertaker.

In rematch, we need our "holy s***" moments. It's facing competition from CM Punk vs. Jericho and a possible Daniel Bryan main event. Big competition.

We need something more than broken announcers' tables and thrashed Coal Mines.

2. Triple H Heel: You Don't Walk out on the Phenom, Stupid

These stars managed to maintain an equilibrium in crowd support last year, and that was great to see.

Face vs. Face matches are hardly done, and that's a good thing because they might possibly end up marring babyface images. Given Creative's recent antics, that's almost a guarantee.

This however, didn't happen with the legends this piece is about. The feud was decent. The match was amazing. Both men left with awestruck fans and colossal respect.

I don't see that happening now. They've already done the face-to-face feud already. It's time one of them turns heel, and since Undertaker might rest in peace soon, HHH wins the contest. 

We know the streak will not end. But we need to be led into believing otherwise. Something like the HBK vs. Undertaker-Career vs. Streak. Or a moment in WM 27 when a tombstone was hit—not by Undertaker—but on Undertaker.  

A powerful corporate heel HHH has that tinge of conviction. Maybe a few bodyguards in the background, or just the authoritative power to play mind games gives him the upper hand and us the teasers.

We had a lot of people booing when HHH walked out on Phenom. People do want to see this again, but done differently.

3. An Aging Undertaker: When the Hands Go Up, but the Lights Don't Come on

Not a unique storyline by any means, but one that holds true. The scene of Undertaker being carried out of WrestleMania 27 was one of the scenes of the night. It finally woke the fans up to the fact that he's not a Rock and more of a Stone Cold in terms of age.

The dark scene of a glaring Phenom with 19-0 plastered in the background was replaced with a hushed silence and a stretcher of doom.

It's time to show this inhuman being is finally losing his touch. The control of arena lights fades away, the fires die down and all those magical powers slowly deteriorate.

The end of the Phenom is near, and the phrase that at WrestleMania he is untouchable will impact his swan song if he goes into it a weakened shell of the Deadman he used to be.

Since we're dealing with wigs anyway, can we gradually whiten the hair as the weeks go by until Triple H fights "Undertaker The White" (much like Gandalf The White) at WrestleMania?

No? Sigh. 

4. The Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels: Some Awesome Feuds Live on Forever

I love Shawn Michaels to death and respect the man for managing to stick to his word of retirement—while many of you might see this as a sneaky way to discredit himself, I don't.

He voiced a concern (along with all the other things) over honoring his word to the Undertaker...and it's time he breaks that honor for the Undertaker.

To me, Triple H vs. Undertaker was based on powerful segments. It started this way and ended so. One memorable segment was when HBK was asked whether Hunter could break the streak, and he walked out on his DX buddy.

Given their best-buddies history and HBK-Deadman animosity, that was powerful.

Get him ringside, or make him special guest referee. If you want a lot of interest in this feud again, Shawn Michaels is that extra element.

You see Stone Cold do that almost every WrestleMania (by the way, Stone Cold is my No. 1, just in case you're curious) and there's no harm in getting HBK too because he actually had a role to play in this feud.

A man who built his life around wrestling, forced to retire. His best friend in the world against the man who made him retire. This is the point the extremities of retribution will be tested.

And that, will provide compelling television. 

Conclusion

I believe we saw the best wrestling match these two legends could put up last year. If there's any way it can be surpassed, it's another match of similar wrestling quality but with some more dramatic "end of the world as you know it" stipulations. 

And I like the combo of Jericho vs. Punk and Triple H vs. Undertaker more than Triple H vs. Punk. Jericho-Punk is a dream match, and teasing it and snatching it away from us is just pure bullpucky, WWE, and you're never allowed to do it.
