If Undertaker's truly gone, then he's left behind a library of high quality stuff that any man would be happy to stand beside and say "that's my life's work." That 4 year run with HBK/HHH at WM was sport-entertainment at its most sports-entertainment-y; nothing will demonstrate how great a creation 'Taker and The Streak was than that Sweet Chin/Pedigree combo that had millions of people collectively shit themselves in just shy of 3 seconds.
Intrigued by the story potential with Reigns. He wanted the yard, but the whole "is he ready to become the 'conscience of the WWE'?" should be fun. Imagine they could start that immediately with someone being bitter than Reigns ended 'Taker, similar to Batista wanting to deck HBK for ending Flair's career.

If this is the end (which it looks like) then I want to see him go to into the Hall of Fame but more importantly I want that documentary about him. The guy is held at such a high standard by all who speak about him, I'd love to hear about everything he's done backstage and his views on his career.
I know many are pissed that he lost to Roman but at least he went out losing to a guy the company want to get behind, even if we don't right now. Although with this and the rumour of him beating Lesnar for the title at next years Mania, it will probably hurt him more than help him.

Thanks indeed. Top 3 of all time for me.
The first wrestling show I ever saw as a kid was Survivor Series 1990, on VHS, about 3 months after the event. I could have never imagined the guy I saw debut there would still be around 27 years later.
A true legend in every sense of the word, and if they had a HOF ceremony just for him, I'd be okay with that. Speeches from Stone Cold, Vince, Brett and a few others along with Taker would be great.

I was 5 years old when he debuted. It is one of the oldest memories of my life. We were watching the Survivor Series live at a Moose Lodge, there were probably close to 200 people packed in there watching it on projectors. When he came down the aisle I clutched my mom's arm, lol.
It would be cool if Taker and Kane went into the Hall together, maybe have DiBiase induct Taker, as he originally introduced him to the "Universe". Dutch Mantel and Brother Love are both a little tied up at the moment. Not sure who would induct Kane. Lita, X-Pac, Foley, Daniel Bryan all come to mind.

I think Vince should induct Undertaker to convey the impact he has had on the company. Assuming it's not the same year, Kane should be inducted by Taker.

I'm agree that Kane should really be the one to induct him, he makes the most sense since Bearer is no longer with us. But I guess you could do Foley or HBK, with them having legendary feuds with each other. But DiBiase would also be cool as a "He introduced him to the company and now he's sending him out" kind of way. Although can't imagine he'd have as many stories to tell as the other 3 I've mentioned.
