ATH - First Round Match 8 - WinnieThePoo v TheBostonCrab

Firstly I’d like to congratulate everybody. A first round with phenomenal bouts. The standard has been through the roof and I hope to continue that with a coherent and structured contribution.

Wrestlemania 32 will be the biggest wrestlemania yet with an estimated attendance figure of up to 100,000 people in AT&T stadium in Arlington, Texas.

What a perfect stage for Mark Calaway to end his monumental wrestling career in his home state. So who would be the suitable opponent for The Undertaker to face?

I have been racking my brain hard for this. I personally did not want to go for the obvious choice and try something in my head that might seem fresh to you the reader.

Sting? The obvious money maker and dream match choice but as said above, I want to try something else.

John Cena? Whilst being a massive match. I think it should have happened a long time ago.

Bray Wyatt? Bray goes for revenge after last year?. Could work and I was thinking of The Undertaker and Sting going against The Wyatts, but I couldn’t really feel the angle out.

With Brock Lesnar leaving the company and doing it at least in a some what professional sense. We will have Undertaker v Brock 3 at Survivor Series in a Buried Alive Match. Have a nice long build for it. Of course the Undertaker Wins. At the TLC PPV Undertaker comes out and announces he will be entering the royal rumble match the following month. He says he wants one last shot at the title at his home town. On the same night a promo video appears on the titantron with the American flag and the word hero with no sound.

Raw the next night and the same video appears. After Jack Swagger comes down to the ring with Zeb Coulter. Jack swagger proclaims he represents the stars and the stripes, he is the true hero of America and he will win the Royal Rumble and go on to become the next great American WWE Champion.
The next raw the same video appears and once again. Jack Swagger accompanied by Coulter go through the same stick again but are interrupted by Bo Dallas. Who calls himself the true hero of the people and all they have to do is bolieve. Swagger and Dallas push each other around and both point at the Wrestlemania sign before the lights go out. The Undertaker appears and chokeslams both of them. The Undertaker takes a mic and reiterates that he will become the 2016 Royal Rumble winner and he will Main event in his homestate of Texas the biggest Wrestlemania of all time.

The same video appears on the following Smackdown and Raws with the superstars in the back all talking about the video and wondering who it could be. Could Brock be back?. What about Steve Austin? The Rock?.
We get to the Royal Rumble night and match. Superstar after Superstar enter and get thrown out and just for a bit of detail The Miz has a long and fine showing. When the buzzer finally sounds for the 24th competitor The Undertaker comes out. The ring is pretty full and the undertaker eliminates quite a few off the bat with Bo Dallas funnily eliminating himself because he’s terrified of The Undertaker.

We get to the 30 competitor to come out. The Buzzer sounds. The video plays again just for a moment silence then the words Intensity, Integrity and Intelligence flash up on the screen. ‘Medal’ Kurt Angles old theme sounds. Crowd go wild. Angle appears and stares down at the ring. The Undertaker, Kevin Owens, John Cena and Cesaro are all that are left. Angle runs in an eliminates Cesaro and Owens. Back to back moves and finishers happen. With eventually Angle and Undertaker eliminating themselves. John Cena wins Woohoo!.
The next night on raw. Angle appears. Bemoans his loss last night. Saying it won’t stop the Olympic gold medalist from getting his paws on the WWE Heavyweight championship again. He says he doesn’t care for The Undertaker. He has beaten the best in the business including The Undertaker and now the streak is over Undertaker is of no use to Angle. He continues to belittle the legacy of The Undertaker and as the fans start to boo he insults them. Angle wants gold again.

Triple H organises a number one contenders match for the WWE title. Angle is to face Roman Reigns. Winner goes to on face Sheamus at Fastlane for the WWE title(yea Sheamus is the champ after cashing in on Sting at the end of night of champions). Angle and Reigns face off in a physical battle with eventually Angle getting the upperhand. He gets Reigns in the ankle lock, as it looks like Reigns is gonna tap the lights go off. They turn back on and of course its The Undertaker. Angle’s not scared. He gets in Undertakers face shouting at him. Undertaker chokeslams him and then proceeds to tombestone him. Match ends with no winner.

Triple organizes a Fatal Four Way for the WWE title at fastlane between Sheamus, Reigns, Angle and Undertaker. Angle rips into his opponents on the go home show before Fastlane. He calls The Undertaker a coward for hiding in the dark. He says he’s more worried about his other opponents . He is full on heel and the crowds will hate him.
At the fastlane PPV The Undertaker does not appear during the title match to the crowds dismay. During a moment of dominance Kurt gets microphone and berates The Undertaker some more. Angle eventually loses the match to Reigns(Sheamus get pinned).
They next night on raw Angle during a promo blames everybody but himself for not winning the title. He even again insults The Undertaker calling him a coward who won’t even turn up for matches.

The Undertakers music goes off and he comes down to the ring. After a long stare. The Undertaker says he didn’t appear last night because he was afraid of what he would of done to Angle. He says Angle is a spoiled bitter man who never reached the level of greatness because he simply wasn’t good enough. He says he will give Angle a chance for greatness. By facing him at Wrestlemania 32. Angle says he’s not interested. He has already conquered the phenom. Undertaker teases ‘Brock may have ended the streak, but i’m giving you a chance to end me in a retirement match’.

After some humming and hawing Angle decides to accept and calls The Undertaker a footnote on his path glory. Angle trys to get Undertaker in an ankle lock before its switched into the gates of hell which angle escapes.he following few weeks Angle spouts promo’s and replays his greatest hits.

We get to Wrestlemania 32.

A fifteen minute match occurs with back to fort action. Towards the end Angle gets undertaker into his favourite submission breaking Callaways ankle in the process, but the undertaker doesn’t tap out and the referee doesn’t stop the match. Eventually Undertaker gets Angle into the gates of hell. Angle eventually taps out. The Undertaker wins.

Reasons for the undertaker winning. After Brock ended the streak the idea of Undertaker putting over a superstar again made little sense to me. He took his loss and made Brock Lesnar even more fierce. I also felt the whole Wyatt or any other young superstar going over didn’t have as big as match feel and getting Kurt Angle in again. Undertaker v Angle is money.

Please excuse grammitical(lol) mistakes etc.
