This is regarding your survey on who Taker should face at WrestleMania. I know this is somewhat of a rhetorical question because I think we know the answer. With the limited number of dates Undertaker has left in him, wouldn’t it be wise to have him put one of the young guys over. Whoever it is would be getting a Monster Push if handled correctly.  I’m not sure if he’s ready yet, but someone like Kevin Owens could move to the next level with that win on his resume.  I know he could handle the spotlight, but he would have to be positioned properly prior to the match for the fans to buy in. What do you think?

I have proposed the same thing, with Kevin Owens being the guy I picked, weeks ago on one of our shows  I don't even think Owens has to win, he just has to look strong.  But Vince thinks he needs more star power out of Taker's match, and I see his line of thinking.

Regarding Taker vs. Shane at Mania, is there any chance that Sting will appear during the match for some kind of face off with Taker, since he's being inducted into the Hall of Fame the previous night? Even if they never have a match, it would make a cool WrestleMania Moment -- more so than NWO and DX crashing the party last year, in my opinion (and OK, so I'm a total Sting mark lol.. Just thought I'd ask) Thoughts?

Is there a chance?  Sure, there's a chance.  As I have said before, if WWE goes ahead with Taker vs. Shane, I expect a lot of bells and whistles in the match.  Bringing Sting out would definitely fall in line with that.

Brie Bella had a far better match at Fast Lane than I imagined she could have, given the way she has been presented over the last several years.  Adopting Daniel Bryan's  Yes chants, ring boots, and finishing move was a nice touch as well.  Do you think she should be continued to be pushed this way as a singles competitor, using Bryan's mannerisms and moves, or do you think she will be once again relegated to second fiddle if and when Nikki returns?

I think it was more of a tribute to Bryan than anything else.  Brie has pretty much said that it's a given that she will retire in the summer.  If that was her last big match, she represented well.

I'm a new Elite subscriber. Great job, first of all, with the site. My question is regarding the Shane McMahon angle from Monday night. Thought it was an amazing surprise and I'm excited to see where it goes...but doesn't the WWE need to carefully explain the Undertaker component of this? Undertaker seems way past the point in his career to be Vince's "hired gun" or little do boy to just show up and fight Shane on Vince's command. Especially at WrestleMania considering how sacred that annual event is to the Undertaker. Thoughts?

First off, thanks for supporting the Elite site!  We appreciate.  Yes, as I type this Monday morning, an explanation is definitely needed as to what is in it for Undertaker.  I hope they give us a good one!

With Low Ki stating that he was actually fired by the WWE, why was he?

They didn't see a lot in him for the product that they present.  They weren't going to let a guy his size do the warrior type of gimmick he likes to do.  Vince would only put that on someone much bigger.
