Chyna sounds like she is more of a bargain. Hmmmmmmmmm
lol!
I'd hate this, big time.
I really enjoyed their match last year, but it was a complete match, there is nothing they can do in a second match that won't be a repeat.
HBK was different, he's skilled enough that he made it a different kind of match, not to mention the story changed.
Even Kane and Taker would be preferable, even if it's been done twice, it would be a final kind of story at least. There's no story in HHH vs. Taker other than "LOL HHH EVERYWHERE!"

HHH/Taker again would be super ultra turbo edition disappointing. It was a 4 Star Match™ at its best when Taker was, what, 85%? A year later after his surgery, all that time off, against a guy who could never go like HBK, the match will only be a downgrade. At least Shawn could still take big bumps and play up the "small guy vs. big guy" thing as good as ever, but what does HHH bring to the table? There isn't much more they can do after last WM.

They can do even more finishers and spend more time writhing in agony, so much so that a midcard match gets moved off the card, the sad thing is a genuinely see this as the actual approach they would go for to make it more "epic".

Look at all these lil Jimmy's thinking the WWE books any further ahead than the next TV show.
Seriously. Kane/Taker would be the end of a long, storied rivalry. HHH/Taker would just be so that HHH can say he faced Taker in his last match.

My choice would be, and I am entirely serious, this man:
Sure, Undertaker ends up with a bloody nose every time they wrestle, but that just adds to the fun.

I was pretty bummed when Mordecai didn't get over.
I liked his gimmick and always wanted to see him feud with Taker.
When he dropped that name I think he wasn't bad but I didn't watch a lot of ECDub

I've always wanted to see a face-grip chokeslam in real life. For now, they only exist in Smackdown.

I knew that jab HHH threw at Taker had some meaning behind it. 
I would like a Sting Undertaker match with a surprise appearance by Sting at RR. Then a 2 month program of mind games and craziness!!!
Sting to appear in the rafters as full on 100% crow. Sting.
Of course the WWE universe would have to be reminded of just who Sting is, since they are too young to know.
I am shocked by the under reactions legends get. My god just look at Monday!!!!

"WWE style" really sucks when guys start getting limited in what they can do. If these were 2 older Japanese wrestlers, I'd be 100% down for watching them beat the crap out of each other with chops and lariats. Unfortunately, it probably WILL just be a finisher fest where they try to create a bunch of artificial drama and both start doing that awful wobbly leg thing they love to do.

I wanna see Kane and Taker go at it one final time if only so they can retire together. Have them do the kneel pose to each other in the ring, acknowledge the crowd by saying something like "it's been a long road, but at last we can both REST...IN...PEAS" or whatever. A bolt of lightning and a ring full of fire later, and they are both gone, only to be remembered in the record books.

I'd actually be very okay with this, despite not being a huge fan of either guy.
Neither one of them can move like they used to, but I can see Rey still doing a few big spots, a lighter guy would mean less risk for Taker's big moves, and I'd love to see the 619 get shut down and kicked out of multiple times per match (as it should be).
Plus it's a relatively fresh match considering how stale most of the available feuds for Taker are

Lol, I can't get that out of my head. I know exactly what you are talking about
Taker only started overdoing it after he brought back the Dead man gimmick, but HHH has been doing it since like 1998. It looks goofy as hell :lol

Im J.R terms it's "spaghetti legs", added bonus with Undertaker is that you also get him doing that weakened striking pose where he starts rolling his fists in a manner that looks as if he's about to start channeling some drunken fist. Instead he gets forced into the corner for the obligatory 10 punch into last ride spot that I hate so very much, funnily enough I thought it was great the first time in the original HHH/Taker match.

:lol
Taker has a bunch of weird stuff in there. How about how he started going all MMA Festus once the bell rung in the last 5-6 years. It's hilarious to see this stoic guy just rush his opponent like he's about to go for a takedown in the blink of an eye. The best part is that once his super meter is used up and you stop him, he's just back to regular ol Taker then.

I hear he's the best pure striker in WWE history...
Those gloves he wears are pretty contrary to the rest of his getup, if it were truly up to him I have no doubt that his gimmick would throw in some more MMA stuff no matter how nonsensical it would be.

I wouldn't say so. I remember that Good Ol' J.R. was involuntarily inducted into a "very exclusive club" about a decade ago.

His opponents should be afraid when he throws those SOUP-BONE fists of his.

In some parallel universe, there's an Undertaker who evolved from the American Badass into a more fleshed out MMA/power guy without the whole "Dead Man" thing.

Rey's still one of the best in the company.
I agree even though the smarkies here hated him when he was running around overcoming them odds.
Some even tried to call him worse than Cena.

Rey is poop on the mic and he broke Taker's face.

Kevin Steen vs El Generico from PWG's 'Steen Wolf' show was soooo good, seriously one of the best ladder matches I've seen, just absolutely brutal and reckless action mixed with awesome counters as a result how well Steen & Generico know each other. I'd probably put this above their ROH match as Final Battle as it was just unbelievably well done, lots of clever stuff I've never seen done before in a ladder match, as well as some utterly sickening spots like Generico hitting Steen with a Blue Thunder Driver on an opened ladder laying on it's side.
.
Also, special mention for Willie Mack vs Davey Richards - great match that shows just how much Willie Mack has improved in such a short amount of time. He's so athletic for a guy his size and has a real sense of power to every move he does, he reminds me of 2003 era Samoa Joe. Davey did a good job putting him over, but it's Mack's awesome facial expressions and the way he feeds of the crowd that made the match.
The pop for Super Dragon post-match was fucking HUGE, also lol @ Generico, when he pulls the belt down, the vent that it's hanging from comes away with it

Oh come onnnn, there was a period where Rey was clearly the Cena of Smackdown. Made more annoying because he's the ONLY smaller guy they've pushed with any sort of consistency for YEARS now. It's also to the point now where Rey's only as good as his opponent cause he was phoning in a ton of matches before they actually started having him put guys over before he got injured.

I just fucking hate the 619. The set-up always looks so goddamn contrived.

Him and Cena had an excellent match on Raw for the title right before he left.

Rey Mysterio in a nutshell
Seraphis Cain
bad gameplay lol
Just as bad as Cena's "for some reason the opponent always does a wild swing after the second shoulder block" setup.
It is odd that Rey Mysterio is the only wrestler in the company with the ability to make his opponent fall on the middle rope. It would make more sense if it was intentional, which it sometimes is, but a lot of the time he just dazes his opponents and they wander along and plop on the middle rope.
Otherwise, THAT BOY MYSTERIO IS IN MY FAVE FIVE, DOG!

indeed.
Rey had 2 good matches that not... with a fucked up knee might I ad.
As much as Im not interested in these characters targeted towards little kids at least Rey can have a great match now and again.
