WWE: 7 Reasons Triple H vs. Undertaker 2 Is the Right Move
Whether we like it or not, The Undertaker is going to face Triple H at WrestleMania for the second straight year.
I will admit that, when the seeds of a rematch were first planted, I was one of those fans who was completely against it. But I've changed my mind.
Yeah, there are still feuds that could be better and more entertaining than Undertaker vs. Triple H: Part Two, but those are only happening in dream land.
While you may not see it now, there are plenty of reasons why the WWE creative team is making the right move with the rematch between Triple H and The Undertaker.
And here are seven of them.
7. A Lack of Other Options
1 of 7The WWE roster is thinner now than I can ever recall it being.
Whereas in the past there were big-time names in the World Title, Intercontinental Championship and Tag Team Title scenes, that just isn't the case anymore. The mid-card is virtually nonexistent, and there are more jobbers than there are main-eventers.
And going into WrestleMania, the big-time main-eventers not named Triple H or The Undertaker are busy with someone else.
Chris Jericho's feuding with CM Punk, John Cena's battling it out with The Rock, Daniel Bryan is now going at it with Sheamus and so on and so forth. So when you really think about it, who would Triple H and Taker face if they weren't facing each other?
Outside of Randy Orton, there is no major WWE star who does not have a clear-cut WrestleMania feud at the moment, and the Punk-Jericho, Cena-Rock and Sheamus-Bryan feuds all make too much sense to change.
Guess what? That leaves Undertaker and Triple H with only each other.
6. It Makes Sense
2 of 7The best feuds are the kind that make sense, and this one actually does.
At WrestleMania 27, Triple H pushed The Undertaker to a place that none of Taker's previous 'Mania opponents had ever pushed him. When Triple H says that he walked out of the arena under his own power and Taker didn't, he's right.
Triple H made The Undertaker look human for once, and for the last year, this has absolutely tormented the Deadman, who wants to prove that he can beat Triple H and then walk out of the stadium without any help.
Makes sense, right?
If someone fought me and I won but didn't walk away from it, I know that I'd be looking to fight that guy again, beat him and still have my pride intact.
The Undertaker may have beat Triple H last year, but he left without his pride. This year, he wants to take it back.
5. Some Fans Will Believe That Triple H Can Actually Win
3 of 7Chances are that anyone reading this is a "smarter" fan who knows that there isn't a chance in hell that Triple H will beat The Undertaker at WrestleMania 28.
But with the way this feud has been portrayed on TV and the fact that Triple H was "the last man standing" at WrestleMania 27, some of the younger and more casual fans will believe that Triple H might actually win.
The Game is being made to look like a legitimate threat to Taker's undefeated streak, and when people watch the interaction between the two or hear Triple H speak, many of them will be convinced that Triple H will indeed be victorious at WrestleMania 28.
We all know better, but we are just a very small portion of the WWE's audience.
The women, children and non-Internet fans are looking at Taker vs. Triple H and saying, "Hey, I think Triple H might really end the streak."
That'll make for a crazy atmosphere at 'Mania, with the fans undoubtedly into the match and many of them behind Triple H.
4. It May Be the Last Time 2 Stars from Their Generations Ever Face off
4 of 7I'm a sucker for the Attitude Era. I grew up during that period, and it's what has turned me into a lifelong wrestling fan.
The fact that there are literally only two Attitude stars left (excluding The Rock) is a bit depressing, and it makes me really appreciate that The Undertaker and Triple H are still around, even if they are just part-timers.
They are two of the biggest stars in wrestling history, truly the last two of a dying breed.
We will probably never see two Attitude Era stars face each other one-on-one ever again, and in fact, we may never see an Attitude Era star even compete after WrestleMania 28 if Taker, The Rock and Triple H all hang up their boots for good.
I wouldn't be writing this slideshow here today if Undertaker and Triple H didn't create such a big wrestling boom in the late 1990s, so I'm going to enjoy the final stretch of what's been one hell of a ride.
3. It Will Draw
5 of 7The Rock vs. John Cena will be the biggest draw on the WrestleMania 28 card, but the No. 2 match on the show will undoubtedly be Triple H vs. The Undertaker.
The WWE and World Heavyweight Championship matches will be good and certainly intriguing, but all you have to do is watch an episode of Raw to know how heavily the WWE is promoting Triple H vs. Taker: Part Two.
And I can't blame the company for doing so, either.
CM Punk vs. Chris Jericho and Daniel Bryan vs. Sheamus will certainly appeal to a ton of wrestling fans, but Undertaker and Triple H are two legends and future Hall of Famers who have more drawing power than any of those guys I've mentioned.
Not only do you have two huge names wrestling what could possibly be the last match of their careers, but they're doing so inside Hell in a Cell and possibly with Shawn Michaels as the special guest referee.
That's a lot of reasons to tune into one match.
2. The Match Itself Will Be Great
6 of 7The Undertaker vs. Triple H at WrestleMania 27 was one of the best WWE matches in recent memory.
The only matches in the last few years that have topped it are CM Punk vs. John Cena at Money in the Bank in 2011 and Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels at WrestleManias 25 and 26. That's it.
Why should we expect anything less than another great match between Taker and Triple H at WrestleMania 28?
Their bodies are well-rested, and they are competing in a Hell in a Cell match, a bout that has helped define their careers and make them who are they today.
We also have the always great WrestleMania atmosphere and the (likely) added element of Shawn Michaels serving as the special guest referee.
In other words, everything is shaping up perfectly for The Undertaker and Triple H to tear the house down for the second straight year in what will likely be the best match on the card.
I'm down with that.
1. It Will Prevent Either Star from Burying Future Talent
7 of 7One common complaint about the rematch between The Undertaker and Triple H is that it takes away the opportunity for up-and-coming talent to end "The Streak."
That might be the case...if any rising star really had any chance of doing that. I just don't see it happening.
The Undertaker's undefeated streak at WrestleMania should never and will never end, so why have him face a young stud like Cody Rhodes only to beat him?
Sure, it might slightly help someone such as Rhodes to "hang with" The Undertaker, but a loss is going to do more damage to his current push than anything else. By doing Triple H vs Taker: Part Two, though, the WWE takes away that problem.
We don't have to worry about either Triple H or The Undertaker burying future talent.
Instead, we can watch a really great match, in which the obvious outcome (Taker winning) isn't going to have a negative effect on the WWE's future.
