I guess the good news is this guarantees another taker wrestlemania, cause no way he goes out wrestling Shane

I mean, we can all agree that this match isn't actually happening, right?
Shane coming back was a great surprise, but having him face Taker just doesn't work. Your talking about a 50-year-old who can barely move against a 40-something non-wrestler. The match would be awful, and we'd all just be waiting for Shane to pull off some ridiculous stunt that would have a decent chance of legit injuring one or both of them.
Plus, the whole thing makes no sense, even by WWE standards. Taker isn't a bad guy, so why would he help Vince? And considering he's almost unbeatable at Mania, he should destroy Shane easily, except that they're both good guys, so he can't. And if Shane loses, the stipulation was pointless, but if he wins, then Taker's Mania aura is basically dead forever, and it ended at the hands of the boss's kid.
Luckily we have six weeks or whatever for them to bait-and-switch to something else. My guess is they do something where Shane gets to pick Taker's opponent, maybe even as a surprise at the PPV, since that gives Cena time to make his miracle comeback (or, if he can't go, you can go get Angle or whoever). Or maybe we find out Shane and Taker were already aligned and Vince finds the opponent, which would explain why Shane basically had no reaction to the idea of facing him.
Or maybe the message here is that WWE stars are so scary that middle aged executives aren't remotely afraid of fighting them. I guess that works too.
