send the Undertaker off in a way befitting a legend, then perhaps this is the only viable option."
Unfortunately for wrestling fans, however, it doesn't sound like Mark Calaway is demanding an industry giant like Randy Orton to end the streak. Calaway wants to close the curtain on his career by lighting a fire under a new, promising talent - not someone who has already touched the gold or main-evented a WrestleMania.
"It may seem laughable to suggest," one source admits, "but if given the choice, I think Calaway who much rather have his streak ended at the hands of a rookie than a Triple H, John Cena, or even Randy Orton. Those guys have less to gain from ending the streak. They're already headed for the hall of fame. Mark wants to help someone new get to the hall. And the fact that he's gracious and generous enough to feel this way is exactly why he's the greatest superstar who's ever worked for WWE, bar none."
Regardless of the manner in which he ultimately departs from the WWE Universe, there's an excellent possibility if not probability that the Deadman won't conclusively close the door - or, maybe, the casket lid - on his career. But if he does, look for Randy Orton to be the man who finally slams it shut.
Part 5: HOF Bound
Randy Orton will have an amazing 2012 and 2013, say WWE sources close to the superstar and the storyline trajectories in the works.
But that much may not be apparent to WWE fans immediately.
According to the inside speculation, should Orton get a crack at Brock Lesnar for SummerSlam this year, expect Lesnar to win convincingly.
Although no one wants to see Orton - the future of the WWE - "job" to Brock Lesnar, Lesnar will need to build steam heading into WrestleMania 29 after suffering a startling defeat at the hands of John Cena at WWE Extreme Rules in April 2012.
Nonetheless, simply having Randy Orton in the main event at a "major four" WWE pay-per-view will help to re-establish the superstar on a level he hasn't touched since losing the WWE Championship to The Miz following the November 2010 Survivor Series.
"A strong booking of a feud between Orton and Lesnar is exactly what the WWE would need to continue their hot streak," writes WWE columnist Sammy Sucu. "This feud may also bring Orton back into the light because as of late, he has not been talked about very much. In one way, it's a good thing because he was becoming very stale, but leaving him in the mid-card has not done much good for him lately."
"This is why he so desperately needs a match with Lesnar at this PPV," Sucu continues. "He put over Wade Barrett, has not had the title for months, was on the bottom of the card at WrestleMania and he is having a very odd feud with Kane at the moment. For the purposes of the match, these two have fought before, but never on a stage like SummerSlam. Considering it is one of the three or four biggest PPVs in the WWE, the card needs a very strong match that is not a third or fourth rematch for a title. Lesnar and Orton would be a perfect way to sell a card to any fan that is willing to fork up the money to purchase the PPV at home or buy tickets to watch it live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles."
Rodney Southern, a celebrated journalist with the Yahoo! Contributor Network and a lifelong WWE fan, agrees. "I am very concerned with the lack of direction his character has suffered from over the past year or so," Southern admits. "He has suffered some injuries and even had to spend some time away from WWE Television to recover, but short of that he has simply suffered from horrible booking. His current feud with Kane is a perfect example. It seems to be one of those feuds that simply starts up from out of nowhere every so often with little rhyme or reason. Orton has spent nearly a year putting guys over and I
