Before my u-turn I called Brock ending the streak, however I'm in shock that the booking had this match where it was. Crowd forcasting is non existent anymore.

Goes to benefit no one by the end of the streak to Lesnar!
He is a part time wrestler does not need any exposure.

The Cena win likewise benefits no one.

Wyatt have lost all momentum

Think back to the first Taker Brock match. Everyone was jobbing to Brock and taker was like NO WAY, since then Brock has gone on to become a legit fighting entity. Brock is the most realistic person to end the streak.

Its believeable, but a year too late, taker as we all saw is finished, his moves are becoming dangerous and he is so poor in ring. Brock is a proven tough guy, a proven cage fighting champion who could walk through the whole roster backstage.

IMO if it wasn't Cena, then it had to be Brock.

Fo me the main reason I'm disappointed is that it takes away a sting vs taker wm match now, I mean it looks like they have monkeys writing wwe storyline these days, I mean how cool would it have been to have taker win and celebrate then the music stop lights go out and out comes sting face paint and bat in hand to set up next year , but we get that, I've never been one who puts much cadance in the streak but can appreciate what it meant history wise, why not just drop it to someone like micheals in the wm rematch a few tears bk

Rumours that Taker called the pin and ended it himself on the spot because of the dead crowd. He said backstage after last year he would stop when the crowd told him too. Also he may have legit been knocked out and couldn't kick out and went to hospital afterwards with concussion.

I would've like to see Kane end it, if anybody.

I would've liked Kane too, 'CEPT for the fact that Kane already buried him after that Nexus beatdown.. that whole storyline was subsequently abandoned, which boggles my mind.

Anyway I called 21-1 and i was happy that Lesnar won.. Taker is just too old, and he was grimacing with every landing. He did the right thing and the overrall reaction proved that it was a good move

Maybe it was the right to decision to end the streak but it just went out with a whimper.

Find it very, very hard to believe that was planned. Among the many talents that Lesnar has acting is not one of them, and he looked genuinely surprised.

Well, stupid decision whether it was WWE's or Taker's. I'm not hot on this idea of the streak being used to make a star because WWE wouldn't follow through on the push (in the same way sticking titles on people doesn't automatically make them megastars - flowed logic), but there's little strategic value in having it be Brock as opposed to other established guys. It's almost like they've dared themselves into making an impossible choice...... give Brock the reign of God treatment with the title thus firmly applying the brakes on Daniel Bryan, or build to a moment where Brock will be blazing chargrilled heat and have Bryan go over him. Both scenarios which leave an aftertaste of needless regret.

Given WWE's exceptional build to Bryan's moment at the end, the streak had no business being broken on this particular card. But remove that from the equation, it would've worked SO much better if it had of been Cena, and it would've closed the show. If you're in, you're in with something like this - you what a garbage in the ring moment

Why?

I could argue it, (1) adds intrigue to the match beyond the imagery now a Taker win isn't a foregone conclusion, and (2) it gives Taker additional incentive to continue wrestling besides defending a record.

I understand the thinking behind brock breaking the streak. He's one of the most legit wrestlers ever and I guess the streak had to be broken by someone believable.

Exactly. Still think there's more of a chance of Sting becoming GM because I think Undertaker is done now.

No Wonder CM Punk left the Writers have no clue. Lenar a big no disapointing that said Taker should retire he was struggling. Apart from Bryan, the Rock, Austin, Hogan segment and cassaro and shield impressive rest of the card was dead. a 4 for me.

The E have dawdled on this streak business for too long, so long infact that it became less of a spectacle of longevity and dominance, to one of anticipation of opponent. Last year was the perfect year for retirement, the stars were aligned and Brock was in a better place creatively.

Like I said before, Brock represents a legit force. Whatever those roided up big time Charlie's like Batista, HHH etc say, they know Brock is the alpha male. This puts Brock in such a powerful position, in an ideal world his return could have simmered beautifully to a WM29 streak ending crescendo. But the writers are a Joke, they squashed Brock into this ridiculous hybrid of UFC meets Vince bullcrap. They should have committed either flipping way!!!

Like psyche said, where do we go now?

As for Cena, he IMO would have been the perfect streak killer. For me its a no brained.

Absolutely. Last year he was the right man at the right time to face Taker, though I'd have personally had Taker beat him (it would've been his first demonstration of weakness).

I can understand WWE booking it this year out of convenience given the natural order would've seen Brock left in the shuffle, being his obvious opponent was The Rock. Their hands were tied a bit this year, his second and third natural opponents (Punk & Batista respectively) were also not viable options. In truth, this WM card was rather handicapped by Brock's presence. We could've easily gotten this instead :

- The Wyatts vs. The Shield III (Opener)
- HHH vs. Bryan (Mid Card Show Stealer)
- Batista vs. Bryan vs. Orton (Co-Main Event)
- Cena vs. Taker (Main Event)

It was the right way and right time to do it, complete shock to all, just the wrong guy

Whether it was the right time is an open debate, but I'm not sure it was the right way at all. The reaction it got was proof of that.

Whoever was going to beat it had to be a believable threat going into the match. Take Cena as an example, that still would've been a massive shock but the reaction would've been a lot more energised. As Metro said, the flat reception from the crowd gave the impression he went out with a whimper - NOT GOOD.

The end was appropriate, everyone so shocked someone had actually beaten taker.

Taker was so slow in the ring i dont want to see him in another bad match

If that's the case, i.e. the E or Taker himself wanted him to bow out putting someone over..... then it should've been Brock and it should've been last year. That special novelty factor he had going into WM29 would've been laminated by the rub. Still wrong time and wrong guy imo, but it would've done much more good than him doing it this year.

I suppose one thing it did prove was just how finely tuned WWE's build to Bryan's moment was going into this PPV. No other WM main event of the last 10 years would've rescued that crowd except last nights

All this talk of an Undertaker vs Sting match. I think a match between those two now would be terrible. 5-10 years too late in my opinion.

It's been announced he was diagnosed with severe concussion. My guess is they ended the match early so he could go to hospital, but the ending wasn't the one that was planned

Confirmed backstage Undertaker had no idea what was going on in the match after receiving the first leg takedown and Brock had to carry it and talk him through it. Props to Brock Also he was backstage but I'm guessing he would have struggled to even get to the ring etc. so there was no point risking it. Maybe next week?

I'm thinking it's opened it up for a rematch before retirement?

I very much doubt it missg. He looked like he was going to have a heart attack. Another match would probably kill him.
