>>13088903Yeah that's the timing, or maybe 32.
WM31 Taker/Bray, might put Bray over to establish him as the heir, might put Taker over but barely scrapes it.
Either way, Kane comes out on the Raw after and tells Taker "it's time", sets the next Mania after whichever you pick as the end date. For that last year Taker shows up a little more, the reaper of WWE trying to prove it's NOT time for his end just yet, starting to seem a little more human bit by bit, never quite going full Bikertaker but as if the power of the Undertaker is draining and he's not ready to let go. The GONG starts going during his matches or appearances, each time Taker seems a bit weaker afterwards.
Kane keeps telling him it's time, but when someone else (Probably Bray) decides THEY want to be the one to hurry it along, Kane gets involved on Taker's behalf because no it HAS to be him who ends it. Brothers of Destruction get one last short tag title reign at the end of the year which ends with Kane flat out telling Taker he will abandon him the next match, he does, Taker fights 2 on 1 but can't quite survive, enters the Rumble for a last chance to extend the power of the Undertaker, makes the final 4 but gets tossed and finally agrees to face Kane in the Buried Alive, then the double-buried retirement.
Ten years too late but oh well.
