You will miss him when he is gone....
Ah WWE, you
just love to throw us a curveball every once in a while don't you? Shane
Mcmahon is back in the WWE and everyone's been losing their mind with the
announcement that he will be fighting for control of the company. There is just
one problem, he is fighting The Undertaker for control of the company.
Ok.........
To be fair,
it is easy to understand why Vince would want to stack the deck against his son
by placing him in a match against The Undertaker. The Undertaker has lost once
at Wrestlemania to the beast incarnate Brock Lesnar, this is the only blemish
on his amazing record at Wrestlemania as he simply does not lose when it comes
to this pay per view. Shane's match against Undertaker will take place inside a
hell in a cell, a match which has become synonymous with the Undertaker, a
match where The Undertaker has made 14 appearances in, emerging victorious in 6
of those matches. Logically, choosing The Undertaker as an opponent for Shane
based off of Undertaker's record at Wrestlemania makes sense but unfortunately,
not a whole lot else makes sense about this match.
Why
would Undertaker do the bidding of Vince Mcmahon? For many years now,
Undertaker's path to Wrestlemania consists of him targeting a wrestler for a
specific reason i.e. CM Punk or Brock Lesnar or being provoked into a match
i.e. Shawn Michaels, Triple H and Bray Wyatt. For what reason would Undertaker
accept Vince's invitation to beat the snot out of his son? Following the
conclusion of yesterday's raw, I cannot give you an answer! We were not treated
to any information, we were not given reasons and clarification is surely
needed in this situation as I see no reason as to why Undertaker is agreeing to
this match. Perhaps the writers are frantically scrambling to come up for a
reason for this match? We will just have to wait and see.
Who do we cheer for? Well, Shane Mcmahon is being portrayed as the hero,
the prodigal son hath returned to reek havoc upon the father and we want
change, god we want change, I cannot stand another year's worth of the
authority. However, does that make Undertaker the bad guy in this situation?
Does that mean we want Undertaker to lose at Wrestlemania? Of course we don't
so that leaves us in a very tricky situation. Having Shane lose will be a waste
of his return because we want to see a change from the authority and there are
rumors of a possible brand split which is a very interesting idea to many of us
fans but there is not a chance in hell(pun intended) that the fans are going to
boo Undertaker. He is a legend in the business so even if WWE were to turn him
into a fully fledged heel, it would not work as the fans have too much
admiration and respect for the Deadman. It is a somewhat reckless decision upon
WWE's part as regardless of the result of this match, the fans will simply not
be happy.
Overall,
WWE has peaked a lot of people's interest with the announcement of this match.
The fans loved Shane's return it was a breathe of fresh air and was unexpected.
Undertaker's match at Wrestlemania is more often than not the match of the
night and is a main selling point of the show. Placing Shane against Undertaker
is an interesting idea, the execution so far has not been great but there is
still time before the pay per view to get the fans interested. The real
question is: Will the fans be happy when this match is over?
