I got into wrestling in the late 2000s before the two Shawn Michaels matches. I only watched for a few years, but got back into wrestling because of Undertaker\u2019s loss to Brock Lesnar. All this being said, I think it\u2019s time for Undertaker to ride off into the sunset.<\/p>\n<p>If this is to be the Undertaker&#8217;s last match, I think he should go out losing to Drew McIntyre. Undertaker has taken two high profile losses already at WrestleMania, so if he\u2019s going to lose again I think it should be for the last time. I don\u2019t think I need to convince anyone that Drew is the kind of guy you can build a company around. \u00a0He seemed to play second fiddle throughout most of 2018, and if 2019 is really going to be his year I can\u2019t think of a better way to start that year off by retiring the Undertaker.<\/p>\n<p>If Undertaker is still going to keep going for a few more years, I think Baron Corbin is the best choice. I think Corbin is quickly proving his worth as an upper-mid-card heel who can take a loss to Undertaker and not lose much credibility.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2162895607\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Now it&#8217;s your turn.
