Rematch between Undertaker and Triple H, why?

At wrestlemania 28, most likely there will be a rematch between Undertaker and Triple H. Many fans and bloggers are questioning why the company would choose to make a rematch. Because of the reason that their last match was so great, and it's a big risk that their rematch will not be as legendary as their match at Wrestemania 27. History shows that a making a big rematch become a "hit" after a successful first match is extremely hard, because the match ends up being a "poor" copy of their successful first match.



Here you have some examples of rematches who failed:

1) The Rock vs Hulk Hogan Wrestlemania 18 rematch!
Hogan and Rock had a legendary match at Wrestlemania, and their "part 2" of the match at No Way Out in 2003 never became a successes. Many would say that their last match was a "cheap" copy of their epic bout at Wrestlemania 18.



2)  Randy Orton vs Christian 2011 feud!
Christian and Orton had a epic fight at over The Limit 2011,, but their rematches at Money in The bank and Extreme rules became poor copies of their epic match at Over The Limit. Their feud started with a great title-match at Smack-down 5 days after Orton was drafted to the show.
Watch their "worst" match here:



3) Kane vs Undertaker Wrestlemania 20 rematch!
Kane faced Undertaker at Wrestlemania 20, and this match was so poor compared to their epic Wrestlemania 14 match!





Conclusion:

Why does the company risk to destroy the memory of the epic match between Triple H and Undertaker, with a rematch at Wrestlemania 28?

Here you have som reasons:

1) No other "great" wrestlers available?
Many would say that the Company was forced to make this rematch that many fans don't wan't to see. Why?
Because at the moment Triple H is the only wrestler in the roster big enough for a fight against Undertaker at Wrestlemania 28. Cm Punk, Chris Jericho, The Rock, John Cena and Kane ain't available to face Undertaker at the grandest stage of them all, only because their booked in other matches at this years Wrestlemania. Shawn Michaels, Brock Lesnar and other great wrestlers aren't in the roster anymore. This means that only Triple H is "big" enough for facing Undertaker at one of his last matches.

2) Taking a risk that their rematch becomes a hit?
Think about it, if the company manages to make this rematch a big hit, then it would be good publisity for the  company, and the ratings on their shows might get up again. If their match becomes a hit, it would sell a lot of merchandise later that year, just like in 2010 after Shawn Michaels vs Undertaker.

3) Finishing the feud of Undertaker and Triple H?
The way Undertaker was carried out after their last match kind of made him look weak. The scripters has already made the main focus of their promo before their match about how "weak" Undertaker looked after the match. To end the feud, Undertaker must either loose the streak to Triple H or "rise" again as the powerhouse he has always been, by defeating Triple H with a 1,2,3 count!


My feelings is mixed about this match, but anyway I love their last two Wrestlemania matches, and I believe they could make a third epic match!


Tune in for more blogs later this week! :)
