7 Things WWE Need To Stop Doing Every WrestleMania

3. Relying On The Undertaker

Every John Cena barb aimed at The Undertaker has some truth to it. Except one.

He is old and he is frail, but he's not selfish. No, WWE are the selfish ones for relying on such a beaten up, broken down legend to come out of a (soft) retirement last year and bolster the WrestleMania 34 card with one more marquee match.

It's unfair of WWE to ask this of 'Taker when he's already wrestled past his prime and toiled through the last few 'Mania matches he's starred in; against Shane McMahon and Roman Reigns, The Undertaker looked like he was finished. There's no reason to believe that the great man will look like the hero of old when he lines up against Cena in New Orleans either.

Let it go, WWE. You've already hinted at putting the character out to pasture. Even if 'Taker brings back the biker gimmick for one more run at 34, please let it be the last time you book yourselves into a corner and are forced to depend on someone who has more than earned the peaceful rest.
