--If rumors are true one of the matches at WrestleMania is yet another match between Triple H and The Undertaker and there is a very strong possibility that this will be The Undertakers last match. Troubling is the fact that fans have seen this match more than once and on this stage so it would be a disappointment given this is WrestleMania. Another worry is Triple H is looking to cement his legacy in professional wrestling before he steps away and fully takes the reigns of the WWE so The Undertaker could see his unbeaten streak at WrestleMania end next year. Triple H has made a number of blunders both in booking and in statements to the press and there is no secret that he often goes into business for himself if it means setting a record or having done something no one else has done. I have only missed one WrestleMania in my career and if this match does happen next year could be the second.
