INJURY BUG BITES WWE YET AGAIN

Seth Rollins, John Cena, Randy Orton, Neville, Luke Harper, and now Bray Wyatt. Cesaro was on there, but came back the night after RAW. I may have even forgotten some, but that is a pretty big number. Nothing beyond confirmation that there is an injury has been released yet, but the acknowledgment indicates it is bad. The level of bad is the question. Can he still walk on it, but can't compete? Bray of course could still work the mic while Rowan and Strowman unleash hell. Or is it bad enough that there is yet another void to fill?

To make things worse, this was a freak accident with Bray slipping and falling while walking backwards from the corner. The opponent was Roman Reigns, who did absolutely nothing to cause this.Regardless of the how, if Bray Wyatt is out of action for a period of time, how does this effect...everything? On television we were witnessing The Wyatt Family turning baby face, with Bray even teaming with Reigns in a tag match against the League Of Nations. A part of me senses this was maybe part of a bigger story involving Wyatt and Reigns, how does this effect that?
And lets not forget about The Wyatt Family as a whole? It has been cut in half, leaving the two who aren't as strong on a mic as the fallen members. Bray is the leader of course, where do Braun Strowman and Erick Rowan go from here? Remain as a tag team? Split up and go the singles route? The latter would benefit Strowman more, given reports of being a fav of Vince McMahon's. I am still wondering why the white sheep left and returned to the flock, so not sure what they would do with him. Sheamus' cousin? haha
If Bray is out for awhile, will we see another NXT call-up? The Balor Club (Bullet Club) members signed by WWE are a Finn away from completion. And of course there is Samoa Joe, interesting to see what Vince does with him when it happens. Or will a different NXT star make their way onto the main roster?

I guess we will find everything out as it happens. We still don't know anything beyond that there is an injury, and it is the right calf. It is ironic that there are so many questions surrounding this, for me at least, being so fitting of a character like Bray.

UNDERTAKERS LAST MATCH

In the world of professional wrestling and sports entertainment, we as fans never really know until we are told when it is an official last match.  There may be a final WWE match, ie Ric Flair, but the list of people who would be finished with the business after that is pretty low. Even now with WWE being the only big promotion right now (sorry indy peeps), a lot of WWE's roster would simply go back to the independents, even TNA if they are desperate for a late pay cheque haha Names on that list would be John Cena or  Randy Orton. Top of that list though would be, The Undertaker. Sure, Kevin Nash reference him coming to WCW at one  point, but that could have possibly been simply bullsh!t (which Nash likes do to mess with the IWC haha) or possibly that WWE was in rough shape at that time. There was almost a chance we'd be watching WCW right now. With Taker, there isn't going to be independent shows like Scott Steiner and other legends. And it isn't because WWE owns the name. Mark Calaway would still draw without it at this point.

So, how would my non-geeky nerd butt book Underaker's final WWE match and moment? As always, I am so happy that you asked haha Many people would have the match come at the grandest stage of them all, Wrestlemania. Understandable, given the spectacle the event is and how much the Deadman has been a major part of that.  Taker was and is much more than his Wrestlemania streak. It hadn't even become a "thing" until late into the streak. His greatest matches came with Triple H and HBK at Wrestlemania, but he still had great and just as memorable moments outside of Wrestlemania. Ya, we're getting Hell In A Cell at Wrestlemania 32, but the best Undertaker HIAC matches were Badd Blodd and King Of The Ring (obviously). Buried Alive matches, Casket matches, etc. He won his first WWE Championship (against Hogan of all people) at Tuesday In Texas. And of course, his origins that stem from Survivor Series.
That is where I would have it happen, Survivor Series, his opponent and type of match that is the hard part for me. A Casket and Buried Alive matches are the choices for me, being the almost soul Taker matches. However, with these options I would have the Phenom lose his final match (which is almost the norm in the business). In a straight up match, I would prefer Taker get the win. My choices for the opponent are Bray Wyatt, Kane, and John Cena. If Taker is losing, then Bray. If winning, then why not one last time with his "brother" (who wouldn't be effected at all character wise). Why is Cena an option? Just one of the many things he could do as a heel to garner heat. Beat Undertaker in his last match, almost especially cleanly, fans would garner even more hate. But, that was covered before (and likly again).
It almost all falls onto how Taker exits things post match. Does he walk out of the arena through the massive gratitude  and applause of the crowd? He's earned it. It could be the one time we saw him "crack". If I am sticking with the character, going classic with new day upgrades. Lights cut, lightening strikes (ring, casket, or headstone, smoke, sound effects, etc. If a Casket or Buried Alive match, druids or Kane come out to reveal an empty casket or grave. Steal from the Wyatts and have the lights cut again, everything disappears. If in the ring, then Taker doing his trademark kneel, lights cut out, lightening strike, spotlight on the center of the ring. The ring would be empty, with only an urn in the middle. Done. If I am being honest, that would be better. Taker doesn't need to put anyone over on his way out, and it would be a thank you to both fans and the man behind the legend that is Undertaker.

Survivors Series. Possibly against Kane. Win. Trademark kneel. Lights out. Lightening and smoke. Spotlight. Urn. End of the greatest WWE career of all time. Hogan, Stone Cold, Cena, anyone. Always be second in comparison. And will be an emotional moment for everyone wrestlers and fans alike. I am similar to that of Big Show, and not afraid to show some tears haha Yes, he always has more reason to do so, but still he's my "save" for ridicule. "Oh ya? Would you make fun of Show for this? Look at him. Ya, that's what I thought" haha
