Everyone knows Taker will retire undefeated at VM but each year his opponent should have something about him which makes you think he might be the one to end it. It should be someone he hasn't crossed paths with before and is a credible winner. I see that in Ziggler.

Yeah, Ziggler could be a decent shout. Would require the same sort of build as Bryan though as even though the guys pretty damn talented people don't really see it.
They could segue Ziggler's current gimmick quite easily into "I'm that damn good I should end the streak". The problem being though they need to build him like crazy after how often Ryder's pinned him recently.
Don't get me wrong getting the belt off him was by far the best thing to do (it was pretty much holding him back), but he hasn't exactly came out of it looking strong.
People keep saying CM Punk, but he's probably below HHH in my list of match choices. They've wrestled a fair few times and it's always lacked that connection and understanding that turns a good match into a great one. They don't seem to work well together.

Indeed. Christian can never really be more than a midcarder with the occasional main event run now. His chance of being an established main eventer of the status needed to take on the streak sailed a long time ago. Which is unfortunate because the guy is extremely talented. He deserves something more than he has which is why I was hoping his WHC run would have been better than the joke it was (and was pretty much just a case of "lets give Christian the title because it's what Edge wants"). Guys done nothing but put others over for a long time now. He makes everyone he works with look amazing.
Some of the matches he got out of Orton were crazy.
I'd love to see Christian built up to the stage where he could be a legitimate contender for ending the streak, he's been one of my favourites for a long long time, but it's just not going to happen.
Honestly I think it's more likely that the 2nd will see a Jericho return and he'll be built up to face Undertaker.
