WWE: 10 Reasons The Undertaker Vs Brock Lesnar Will Rule WrestleMania 30

7. They Can Finally Have It Out After UFC 121

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjHtxPew5Os The Internet Wrestling Community collectively dangled on the precipice of Bonkers Mountain when a clip aired from UFC 121. Report Ariel Helwani scored an interview with Taker at the event. Being a regular at these fights, Taker's presence wasn't as surprising as was his agreement to a somewhat out-of-character interview. Helwani starts by eliciting Taker's opinions about Lesnar's match against Velasquez. He shares a few educated thoughts about the fight, then seems to trail off. "You almost seem like you're at a loss for words here", says Helwani, but the thing is, he's lost Taker's interest altogether. As Taker stares off camera, we see the shadow of Brock Lesnar approach, and Taker asks him with an almost amused intensity, "You wanna do it?" Lesnar barely pauses for a staredown, and wisely keeps walking. "Just a personal thing... I think maybe he needs to... train a little harder... um..." You can see that Taker isn't at a loss for words, as much as he is being careful with them. Ariel Helwani interjects with, "Are you two cool?" meaning of course, do you get along with Lesnar. Taker pauses in thought, thinks better of it, and says again, "It's personal." If Vince doesn't use that clip to help build this match, he is a fool. This isn't The Undertaker in a cloak and makeup, fog and druids on hand. He wasn't using his deep, theatrical voice reserved for WWE. He was Mark Calaway, probably feeling the pangs of a man whose time had passed. How unbelievably fortunate are we that Brock came back, and they can sort out their differences right before our eyes?
