That`s pretty much how Goldberg got over.

He would come out and demolish opponents, say nothing and head to the back.

A few weeks later WCW announcer Mike Tenay started making a big deal out of Goldberg`s winning streak during his matches.

This was turned into an angle that was going great until they started adding numbers to his streak for no reason, ie, one week he would be 55-0, the next he would be 66-0, numbers that made no sense.

With him going so over, Hogan agreed to drop the belt to him.

However, part of the deal was that Hogan would get to end the streak "when the time was right".

So Goldberg became the champ (on FREE TV!) and WCW was on fire.

Meanwhile, the top of the card guys at WCW started to get a bit pissed: here was a guy who was taking their spot.

So after much moaning and backstage politics, Kevin Nash cut a deal with Hogan that HE would end the streak.

So that`s what happened.

And it got the fans hot and Goldberg was never as big as he had been before.

I`m not saying that that`s what would happen to Taker, but he has had this "streak" going for a while (they been mentioning it as an angle since around WM12).

It would make no sense for him to lose it now, especially after facing HHH at WM17 (who could have ended it to get him over big at the time) and Randy Orton at XXI (whose legend killer gimmick would have got a huge lift out of it).

Also, the fans care about it. I hope Vince is smart enough to realize that.

I agree...best option is to give Undertaker the belt, let him ride with it for about a month and drop it to put somebody else over...Taker's not going to be around for much longer, and he's done a LOT to carry the WWE brand over the years.

Letting Batista walk away with it, while snapping Taker's WM streak, isn't a very honorable way to cap the twilight of Taker's ring career.

Undertaker winning the belt is for the best, I think.

[bueno bob]

On top of all that...I agree with the comparisons between Batista and Goldberg...

Batista's just another squash match specialist, and they all have limited sellability, anyway.

Ultimate Warrior...Goldberg...etc. Squash match specialists have a limited lifespan, and I'd imagine Batista will be no different.

There may be a little diference between Batista and all those other guys.

I'd bet HHH will try to keep him going for as long as he possibly can without endangering his own career.

Undertaker will win the World Title against Batista, IMO.

Also, I'd say Cena loses the WWE Title to HBK.

Give it to the two superstars who were basically holding up the company in 1997 to win it all in 2007!

That would be grate. Unfortuantely, I don't think it's very likely.

Here ya go:

Vince brings Umaga to Wrestlemania and begs Trump to find anyone that could take out the Samoan Bulldozer'..and Trump brings out Great Kahli, which is the PERECT person to turn face and a PERFECT way of doing it. People will want to pay big bucks to watch Vince get his head shaved. (and you know already that this is what will be the end result) So who better? It creates and accomplishes 2 major things, on a major stage with major media coverage.
Id probably throw Roddy Piper in there for a special outside ring enforcer to ensure civility between Vince and Trump, so the giants in the ring have a fair battle.

I miss the 90's, when they used to write backwards and give the fans at least some intrigue. Now it's written on the fly without any care or passion for what they want to be able to pull out of the vault in 25 years and be proud of it.

Thinking exactly the same: HBK and Taker will win at Wrestlemania.

cena has been champion for way too long. he is highly overated and i dont know why he is so popular. it is time for cena to lose the title and who better than hbk to take it from him. i wonder where dx would be right now if hunter never got injured

That`s the point of keeping the belt on him: to get him more over.

That`s why Angle,HBK and Undertaker never really need belts, because they`re popular enough without them.

I don`t know where Cena will go if he does lose to HBK (which I don`t think will happen).

It would be better if they turned him heel as he gets plenty of heat already and a heel champ is good for business (Flair, NWO Hogan, HHH etc.).

[Mr Badguy]

"Mr Perfect" Curt Henning will be inducted into the 2007 WWE Hall Of Fame.

It`s about time, I was always a big fan.

He was an amazing heel.

Hopefully a retrospective DVD will be on the way also.

So far Im half right. But last night when I watched it unfold, I had a weird Stone Cold vision of him coming back to fight and promote his movie...Problem is, Would they put Steve Austin in a ring, all rusty, with hard hitting 300lb guy?
