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

[Vega]

I guess this guy is even more pissed than we all combined.

Don't care the streak ended, just a little confused as to why Lesnar got the rub.

Personally, 20-0 should have been Taker's final match. That's a big milestone to end on and a nice round number... but what do I know about booking wrestling?

Nothing.

What a joke to have Lesnar beat him in order to end the streak. Why not John Cena and have him turn heel in the process. Not a fan, but at least he has bled the company the last 10 years. This is another Kevin Nash ending Goldbergs unbeaten run moment in my opinion.

 

[TLC]

The reaction was fucking amazing. I wish the build wasn't shit, but I'm glad it's over. Undertaker wouldn't be able to retire without the fans expecting another match at WM, now he can finally stop wrestling.

Not even close.

And as I mentioned above, turning Cena heel would be stupid.

Yep. As long as the streak existed, he would always feel the pressure to keep going. Now he doesn't. If it weren't for the streak, Taker would have been retired years ago, imo. As he walked back, he looked like a man who was done, and knew he was done.

The opponent was questionable, granted...but Brock Lesnar doesn't end the streak unless Mark Calloway decided that Brock is the one to do it. There is simply no way that he loses at Wrestlemania unless it is his decision.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

I'm going to watch last weeks TNA now, after last night the light hearted tom foolery will be welcome

 

[Cereal Killer]

Am I the only one that let this sink in within a minute? I was shocked and then went along with it, the streak is over. Brock better go on about this as much as he can. I think the reason the marks are pissed off is because Brock's a heel.

 

[Big Nick Dudley]

Not sure why people care. I didn't think Undertaker would ever lose at WrestleMania, nor did I want him to. But the result didn't bother me.

And enough with this "a young talent needed it" garbage. If there were a young talent worthy of this, that man would've been given the opportunity. There wasn't. You can't just book a young guy to beat Undertaker because you want that young guy to be a big deal. Fans are going to reject a shitty performer even if he beats the streak.

Face it - there was no one else for this job, this year.

 

[Pay Per Ghost]

I am sad it ended. I wanted him to retire undefeated.

 

[Big Nick Dudley]

So did I, but he wouldn't lose if he didn't want it that way.

 

[QBall111]

So Undertaker retires, some people still are in disbelief it should've been Lesnar, one of them being David Arquette. Now you have UT go into hiding for almost a year until he is stalked by David Arquette to return to wrestling. I see a movie out of this yet.

 

[The_Reptile_]

Now that I'm calmed down I'm not that upset about the Streak ending, but they need to do something with Lesnar now. They can't pull the 'Disappears for 6 months then comes back for a single match' bullshit. Not this time.

 

[Pay Per Ghost]

So did I, but he wouldn't lose if he didn't want it that way.

I know. He wanted this and that kinda makes me feel better about it; that he chose this. To be honest, losing to a guy like Brock is prolly the best way out too.

It has more to do with Brock being a "part-timer" and not "loving the business". Fans wanted an up and comer to defeat the Undertaker. If fans don't get their dream scenario, then anything else will be shit.

Lesnar winning has created more of a buzz then some up and comer.

 

[Mr. Artistic guy]

I was always an advocate of the streak ending eventually, but it's absolutely idiotic to see some of the comments about people being 'surprised' that others are shocked the Streak has ended. The Undertaker has been undefeated at Wrestlemania almost half of his life. All of mine. It was the one constant in wrestling. It disappeared and nobody was expecting it. Don't act like it's strange for people to display their feelings towards something like that. There's a lot of high horses out there that need the legs chopping out from under them.

Yes, Taker didn't look his best. The guy is near enough 50. He looks amazing for 50 in the wrestling biz after the physical toll he's endured. The match wasn't the best he's had. But the last five years he's actually had some of the greatest matches of all time. Could it be people are disappointed because of how high Undertaker's level had become and how high he'd raised your expectations to be. Yes, in part, absolutely. Did he go out before he'd become embarrassing. Yes. The match wasn't as good as previous years but was still good and far from embarrassing. I am not a writer in the WWE so I can't see where this is all headed, but my uncertainty means I can choose to be optimistic. The Undertaker's streak has ended and he has his health. Brock Lesnar has broken it and can use that heat to burn a fire in the WWE brighter than ever before potentially. All good things come to an end. Living proof. Case closed.

All said, I stand by this post I made a few weeks back:

[The Dragon Saga]

To be fair, what young guy could have believably ended The Streak?

Roman Reigns in a couple years, maybe, but who says Taker wanted to wait a couple years? Maybe in his mind if The Streak continued there'd always be pressure to comeback every year and deliver. Did people think guys like Ziggler or Langston could believably do it either? What better way to lose it than to a guy that is labeled "The Beast", and who is a former UFC Heavyweight Champion. It actually makes Taker look tougher that it took a guy like Lesnar to end it.

At least now he can comeback when he wants. If he and Sting do have a match at Mania next year, I'm happier with it being Icon vs, Icon than Sting returning in an attempt to break The Streak.

 

[Hard Hit Prince]

I genuinely believe that people should respect Undertaker's decision in ending his most prestigious accomplishment. It's a big thing and it should be treated as such and the idea of a young guy doing it for the sake of doing it is stupid to me. Who knows that that particular kid isn't going to fuck it up? Bray Wyatt and Roman Reigns, two odds on favorites to do it, were way too young in the business. Undertaker is in the wrestling business for 30 years, give it or take it... He deserved something big to end it all, instead of a "maybe".

He went down by his choice and I'm sure of that, not by the reports or whatever, but because in interviews and what not he looks like the kind of guy that has a saying in all of that, a guy that you will respect regardless. And just think about who makes the decisions in the company - Triple H respects the shit out of the guy and he better since he gave him probably the best match of his life. Vince McMahon... when WWF was down, did he went after the big dollars or stayed true and loyal to the company that really took care of him? Also as long as he could go, you better believe that WWE's bank account would be really happy to see him go at WrestleMania for the remaining of Taker's life.

With that being said, apart from John Cena, I was okay with the decision of having Lesnar beat him. It sure as hell helped him in a big way, even if we don't see it as of right now, but he'll be the youngest WWE Champion, the one that did it all and the one that broke the streak and he remains with the company as he obviously have some matches left in him. Lesnar v. Daniel Bryan could possibly be the next logical step for him...

 

[Slash-LN]

I don't like that it was a part timer in Brock but if that's what Taker wanted then that's fine. It's his streak. He should have say in who he would like to beat it.

I didn't care for the match.

I'm happy it's over and we don't have to continue to face this year after year as Taker gets more and more beat up.

By the time the divas match was over I was pretty much over it.

 

[Davi323]

People forget the personal relationship between Mark Calloway and Brock Lesnar. Brock wasn't just some random big name chosen by Vince to end the streak, he had to have been personally selected by the Undertaker himself. Try thinking about it from a personal perspective on the part of Taker, rather than the "good for business" angle. When viewed at the personal decision making level, it makes a lot more sense than it does at the business level.

Anyone remember Taker at the Lesnar/Velasquez UFC fight, when he asked Brock "are we going to do this?"

I don't know if Taker and Lesnar are best buds, mortal enemies or somewhere in between. I just know that there had to be specific reasons Undertaker decided to end the streak with Brock, even if those reasons aren't completely obvious to us.

 

[Bernkastel]

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.

From a money making standpoint he wasn't. Which was the whole purpose of the existence of the streak. Unless of course Lesnar decides to become a full time worker than it's more justified.

WWE made all the money they needed on The Streak. Its been said for years that Taker has a say in who his Mania opponent is, if he wanted to lose it to Lesnar then that's all there is to it, no money, no Vince, no creative, no Triple H, nothing else needs to be taken into consideration. It's Taker choice and he felt Brock was the guy to break the streak.

 

[Nate DaMac]

So is anyone complaining about Lesnar losing to Cena and Hunter now? It seems like this has re-established Lesnar as a monster again.

This is exactly what I wanted to say.
