9 Problems With Shane McMahon vs. The Undertaker Match At WrestleMania 32

9. Why Is The Undertaker A Pawn?

I thought only Theodore Long had the power to enlist Undertaker as his avatar against insubordinates? Instead, Vince McMahon wields the authority to say, "Alright, pal, I choose The Undertaker to represent me in a match with high stakes!" Naturally, it doesn't sound right if you say Undertaker's name without, "Playa" afterward. The problem here is that Undertaker is an omnipotent character, one not bound to the same laws and regulations that 'mortal' wrestlers adhere to. Ever since his 'Streak' expanded to otherworldly levels, Undertaker comes and goes on his own terms, only arriving to accept the challenge of a foolish iconoclast. It diminishes Undertaker to a degree to have him take the match on McMahon's orders.
