If You're Pissed About Taker Vs. Lesnar Come Scream Out A Lung

[therockiswwf]

Well I like some believability in wrestling for a change, so I think that was the proper ending. Taker looked terrible out there.

Do you have proof that that Facebook page is not Taker's?

Well he spelled vintage wrong. Plus Foley has said numerous times (including recently) he hopes Taker never gets a social media thing as the world can't handle a hashtag from him. Plus it is obviously not him.

Wrestling is entertainment. Therefore believability means nothing. If we had more believability, Lesnar would just maul everyone in under a minute.

Yes, first of all his posts remind me of a teenage nerd sharing ever D&D picture online but most importantly Facebook and Twitter have this thing that is like a certificate of authenticity by the Owners name if they are legit. There is a legit mark calaway undertaker page and that's not it

Legitimately the most shocking thing i've ever seen in wrestling. I was watching at a movie theatre and let out a loud "NOOOOO!" when the three count came down. Absolutely stunned, still am really.

I was even making myself believe they were pulling a dusty finish and they would reverse the decision because they would find Lesnar's gloves filled with steel. But it was not to be.

Seeing The Streak end is sad but I will never forget the way I felt when that refs hand hit down for three. I'm glad it ended though. I mean, it would have been nice if The Streak could have gone unblemished forever. Something to look back on and say what an amazing achievement it was. A nice perfect record that you can cherish forever. But I'd rather live with a non-perfect ending that made me feel like nothing i've ever experienced before in my life. A moment (as seen on the faces in attendance (the memes are coming)) that truly shows the power professional wrestling can have.

They wanted a memorable debut Wrestlemania for the Network and they damn sure delivered. The culmination of the rise of Daniel Bryan and the fall of the Streak. Wrestlemania 30 will never be forgotten.

I'll admit I'm still having a hard time processing it, both that the streak has ended and that Brock would be the one to do it. I just always thought if Shawn couldn't do it that the only logical choices left were to have him retire without a loss or to have his loss be to a younger talent who could really use it to blast him into the main event crowd. I wish it wasn't Brock who did it, he's been looking more and more frail it's it's better to end sooner than drag it out when he can barely get out there. All this said I'm still in shock, the prestigious streak has ended...

 

[Bernkastel]

Personally I think it's great. Now we know what WWE thinks the Streak is worth. And Bork Laser laughably isn't very much. If Taker faces Cena at Mania I expect him to be pinned within 5 minutes.

What a fucking joke.

 

[TootsieBear]

Does anyone think this could have been a bad accident? Like the Undertaker was supposed to win, and his lost was a botch.

 

[afromania]

Now if WWE pushes Lesnar super hard going forward they still have a great opportunity to give a young guy a huge rub. Have Lesnar just tearing down people left and right (a Sheamus match would be great, he could face Batista, Cena again but win this time, Orton) to an eventual title confrontation with Bryan (which I think would be a classic, given the fact that Lesnar's matches with Cena and Punk were classics, imagine what Bryan could do). He would win the title and be champ heading into WM 31 where you could do a Bryan rematch, or have him solidify a Reigns or Cesaro. It's a great way to make a new star. Lesnar against any of these guys sounds awesome actually.

Lesnar would have to go full time for that to realistically happen. It's awfully hard to build someone or someone else when you only make a dozen appearances a year.

0% chance of that. In a match this big, the ref would have stopped counting even if Taker was dead.

If Taker was supposed to win, he would have.

As Brock is a legit tough guy and has beaten nearly every legend in the business from Hogan to Rock etc etc, he was the most believable guy to end the streak. Also, it was Taker's decision of who he wanted to end the streak.

I'm not so sure. I think the heat that Heyman is gonna be able to generate for Lesnar will be off the charts. Heyman's a master of the mic, remember what he did for Punk and the 434 day reign that I largely remember thanks to Heyman talking about it. Imagine what he can do for Brock Lesnar now that he has ended the streak.

Maybe if they don't want to use up all his dates he could just show up for matches on the PPV's. Have Heyman say "If you want to see THE MAN WHO DEFEATED THE STREAK you have to pay for it on the WWE Network because BROCK LESNAR doesn't fight for free." Just have Heyman show up on Raw to hype up his matches and do all the talking. Although it may be difficult to build up a feud this way so who knows.

 

[Alastor]

Why did the streak have to be ended by someone younger or to give someone a career boost? Wouldn't someone that is Taker's equal or someone that is better than him ending the streak be more satisfying?

People complain about WWE being predictable all the time, but when they throw us a curveball we complain about it too.

At least it wasn't Punk who ended the streak.

Plus having a young guy break the streak would be dangerous. There is no guarantee that young guy would be a main eventer until he retires. I think the streak had to be broken by an established guy or no one at all.

If they were going to do it, realistically it had to be Cena. Cena has done EVERYTHING he's overcome EVERYTHING and this would be another obstacle to overcome. With the rising of Daniel Bryan and the level of guys that are getting ready to rise up, they could have used to even turn him heel if they wanted to. Say this is Taker's last match because Cena is his biggest challenge. If he beats Cena he has nothing left to do and if he loses to Cena he'd be fine because Cena is this best. Everyone doubts Cena and are just like dude you're our last chance but we don't think you can get it done. So during the match Cena uses the ropes for leverage or whatever and Cena had to do what it took to cement his "Legacy" Look they could have even still used the song. Screw this crap build up, crap match, and crap ending.

I would personally have liked to see Kane end it to put an end to both their careers and end their story or whatever.

Problem with Kane is he might not want to retire yet.

 

[therockiswwf]

And breaking the streak makes you instantly hated by everyone. Might not be a wise thing to do with Cena.

 

[It's...Baylariat!]

The feeling I had when the three count went down is a feeling I haven't had before in my life.

I'm torn on how to feel overall though. The streak had to end because Taker was simply not the same wrestler he has always been in the ring last night. He's battered, old, and it was getting tougher for him to get amped up for another WM match. Logically, he's retiring and going into the Hall of Fame next year. For those who think he's wrestling Sting... why? What's the point? There's no connection with Sting and Undertaker. Sure Sting may show up on Raw or something, but that doesn't mean it has to be against Undertaker.

I also think at this point, Lesnar has to work a full-time schedule and possibly beat Bryan for the WWE title down the road, setting up Bryan/Lesnar at WM 31. Otherwise, was the point simply for Lesnar to come back and beat Taker? Is that enough for Lesnar? Heyman mentioned Lesnar being WWE champion. I'd say Heyman will pull the 'Lesnar ended the streak, therefore he should be the top contender for the WWE title' card on Raw, setting up something with Lesnar, Orton or Batista. Maybe even have HHH keep Lesnar as a 'full-time mercenary' to take out Bryan down the road.

Lots of things could happen here. I just don't want Lesnar to simply bow out and not be seen until Summerslam again. That would leave a sour taste in my mouth.

They might as well fully turn him then. Let Daniel Bryan become #1 maybe turn Orton back. Have someone put Reigns over let him work to get his way to that top spot. I was thinking the ME of 31 was gonna be Cena vs Reigns for the WWEWHC like 10 years after he won the title he's dropping it and passing the torch to Reigns. I thought that would be appropriate but if they have Lesnar walk into Mania with the belt then idk.

Cena turning heel would be stupid.

That is all I will say about that since I'm not getting into a heel Cena debate.

Who even knows if Reigns will be able to fully transition into a main eventer. You can't think that far ahead for mania (bar Rock/Cena) as Reigns could become great or turn into The Miz.

 

[ProWrestlingFan]

Agreed. And Roman Reigns just broke Kane's record of 11 eliminations this year. If they start pushing him too much, people will get sick of him real fast.

They sustain me.

I agree it would have been stupid in the past but I think they've built Bryan enough. And this was assuming they know how to correctly push their talent and create stars.

Cena doesn't need to turn heel because Bryan might be able to become the top guy (remember Bryan didn't do strong numbers his first time around).

Cena adapted his character to the reactions and really I see no gain from turning Cena heel. No money can really be made off that, fucks with the billion Make-A-Wish stuff he does and won't exactly change the crowd reactions.

I can see that. I think he'll turn before he retires though.

Waaaah, the streak, or whatever.

I just wish it wasn't such a shit match.
