Three Legends, One Cell, One Streak

For the third time, Triple H will face The Undertaker at Wrestlemania, attempting to end "The Streak". The fact that they made this a Hell in a Cell match was enough to raise the bar from the previous two matches these two had at the big PPV. Many people view Taker as the master of this kind of match. Triple H was undefeated in this kind of match for a while. Who is really king of the Cell? And with Undertaker's win streak on the line? Awesome match right there. On this week's Raw, however, they added even more. And it was not overkill. Shawn Michaels is the ref. Given that he was slightly involved in the build last year, and he has history with both men, adding him is perfect. It makes the storyline more interesting too.

Besides giving WWE credit for building this match well, I want to talk about it because I frequently don't get to talk about a feud like this. I'm usually talking about the WWE using one person to put over another, then demoting somebody back down. Sometimes, I may talk about feuds like the one Jinder Mahal and Ted DiBiase kind of had a few months ago, where neither man really benefited well. Taker/HHH is not that. Both of these guys can be considered WWE royalty. Both are legendary over, treated with about the same amount of legendary respect by the company, and I don't feel one is simply being used for the benefit of the other. No matter how the match is booked to go down at Wrestlemania, both will continue to be treated well by the company. Both will be in the Hall of Fame one day, and most likely at the top of the list of inductees. This is how the WWE is able to create an epic feud that will benefit everyone involved, including, hopefully, the fans. Even if you throw Shawn Michaels into the discussion, he is at the same level as these guys. All are legends the WWE has been very supportive of. Again, no matter the outcome, no one will really get hurt. The WWE is not going to want to screw any of these guys' legacies.

Just for the sake of mentioning it, Raw this week, which featured both Shawn Michaels and The Rock, got a 3.2 rating. I'll say no more on that.
