#4 Ignoring younger talent in favour of The Undertaker

The Undertaker's entrance at WrestleMania

The Undertaker is arguably the important Superstar in WrestleMania history and his undefeated streak was one of the most famous runs in sports entertainment history. However Taker, now in his 50's, has certainly seen better days and yet the WWE continues to put him in prominent matches in the card.

WWE could give The Undertaker's spot to an upcoming mid-card level talent rather than resort to shipping 'Taker in every year to compete with other established stars. The Undertaker's rumoured match with John Cena at this year's 'Mania, for example, could be better used to give a chance to younger Superstars to make a name for themselves against Cena, instead of using an older and part-time talent.

It's unfair of WWE to ask this of The Deadman 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.

In a WrestleMania already stacked with top names and talent, it seems bringing back 'Taker for another match is an attempt to appeal to lapsed-fans. The time has come for WWE to focus on the future and not older stars past their prime.
