I don't get why everyone thinks they're going to wrestle. When i saw that the first thing i thought was that they were going to smoke weed together or something and Taker didn't want to say it in front of a camera.

So...work or shoot Kev?

I don't see a Lesnar return at all in the near future but there's no doubt it would draw money.

Never say never I suppose, a year ago who would have thought we'd see Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels hugging and back slapping like old chums in a WWE ring?

If a deal could be done with Lesnar and UFC it could work out very profitable for all concerned. It would also be a great excuse to have Taker revert to a more realistic gimmick. I think it's time for a change, particularly if this is his last run. I would be nice for him to end his career without the hocus pocus.

I really dont want to see Taker in a black stetson or a bondage leather ankle length hoodie, telling us to 'rest in peace' and summoning the power of extreme weather during his Hall of Fame induction speech!

Brock could be in the corner of Undertaker's opponent at Wrestlemania. Maybe he would agree to take a Tombstone after the match, if the price were right.

Great post. The idea of The Undertaker and Brock Lesnar going at it at Wrestlemania XXVII is fantastic. I'm sure this (along with my self) has gotten everybody curious about The Undertakers question...

We all know how astute a businessman Mark Calloway is so i've no doubt that it's all an elaborate work in the hope that if Lesnar can get out of his contract, the seed has already been planted for 'Taker's final fling.

As an aside, i can't understand the obsession in the US with this caged fighting thing.
Brutal, brutal "sport".

Work or shoot with the staredown, I really don't care. I just really enjoyed seeing the Undertaker out of character. I really think fans would eat it up if he would incorporate some of that into his on-screen character. Then again, maybe I'm in the minority. But I loved seeing him talking like a normal person.

I think Lesnar threw the fight at UFC. Before you dispute this, just keep in mind that he's done the "acting" version of fighting long before UFC came about. I watched all his other fights twice along side with the UFC 121 and his style just didn't potray his work ethic with the Velasquez fight. He didn't have the excitement of being there. Throwing wild punches being left open (right before he spun around on the ground for instance). It's like he knew what was going to happen before hand even as you watch him come out from the dressing room right on to the end. That's just my two cents.

Yeah, I agree with you; there just doesn't seem to be any benefit for Lesnar (besides the obvious big payday) so why would he want to do it? He didn't care for wrestling the first time around, and I don't see why he would have changed his mind. But you watch, he'll be revealed as both the Raw GM and the secret leader of Nexus....

It is rather interesting that he looked like he'd never been in the cage before. Not only did he not look like himself, he also submitted verbally. Come on, you expect me to think that Brock Lesnar cried uncle because he got hit too many times? How about the little ballet move he did in the middle of the ring? How about the ''waiting for Cain to hit him in the face while his hands were down and he was LOOKING at Cain'' ? I mean that did NOT look like Brock Lesnar. I truly wonder how much the UFC is somewhat staged. They hype up a Mexican fighter to grab more attention (money) sounds about right to me. It's just rather interesting is all. Anyone have comments about that? Share opinion? Disagree?

I'm fully under the belief that it is a work. Undertaker perfectly played the media in an attempt to sell a storyline with Lesnar. Normally, he wouldn't even do interviews out of character like that.

You just believe any bull**** Meltzer says, don't you? Talk about gullible...

RESPONSIBLE FROM KE: Meltzer is a legit journalist. No one has better sources in the wrestling/MMA worlds than he does.

And on the WM undercard - the winners - Cain vs. Kane!

Both fighters obviously have huge egos, that's expected. What can overcome that, other than the opponent beats you on merit? You "throw" the contest because betting syndicates will clean up if you do. Cash the great persuader.

Why would anyobody want to see a fake corepgraphed dance anyway? Let them fight MMA, now that would be something worth watching!

RESPONSE FROM KE: Taker would get destroyed in a real fight with Brock.

I agree with some of the other comments - Undertaker needs a more "real" gimmick...he's been tacking steps down the MMA route, but all this "hocus pocus" really diminishes his character. But at the end of the day, if the kids like it that's all that matters - WWE isn't produced just for our market anymore, fair play to them for getting so mainstream...ROH is for us "smart" wrestling fans who enjoy the art.

But anyway, I think the really worrying thing is that Taker said he'd do MMA over wrestling if it was an option back then. Undertaker - one of the biggest wrestling icons ever, would have rather been an MMA fighter...the whole wrestling business needs to take note of this before we lose the next generation of wrestlers to MMA.

This could quite possibly be the most dumbest thing I've seen written on the Internet in a long time.

Loved hearing him outta character, but he still is horrible on the stick

Funniest thing? This is just the type of media/blog buzz that TNA so desperately tries to create. I'm sure Russo will counter with a Tiger Woods impersonator or something.

I agree with Bill Drain, I also love seeing Taker out of character. His gimmick is so cheesy now, that anyone who ridiculed the American Badass/Big Evil era must have egg on their face.

He needs to turn heel, he needs to demand respect, and he needs to lose the makeup.

When Jim Ross was seen at a UFC event, the WWE took him out of their tv intro. I wonder if the WWE will remove the Undertaker from their tv intro? Of course we know the answer to that question is a resounding NO.

I don't care about MMA very much but only someone extremely naive wouldn't believe UFC fights are worked, thrown or predetermined... unless you think boxing is clean too...

It's all about the money. How many people for how many decades didn't accept or believe that elements of pro wrestling were predetermined?

"How dare you suggest Lou Thesz would EVER accept payola to lose to that arrogant jerk Buddy Rogers? It would never happen!!"

The only way Brock would come back is if that stomach injury came back, or he was too beaten to work UFC matches. If he was too done in for UFC but could handle WWE then McMahon could get him back on big bucks. The storylines would write thmselves too.
