The streak was Taker's choice

Just reiterating. Seems like every person is blaming the WWE/Vince for this.


I don't like that it happened against a part timer, but overall - I'm glad it happened. Taker probably has nothing left to give, and this really elevates Brock/Heyman and gave us the biggest shock in Mania history.

Lol, Undertaker losing a match has created at least 30 threads in the last week, can we get this bumped up?
So sick of it.

It doesn't matter who ended it. Big Boss Man could've walked in with a loaded shotgun and demanded to Vince that Taker lose or he'll blow Stephs pretty little Ta-Ta's off for all I care. Its done.

It really doesn't at all. Brock Lesnar felt like absolutely no bigger of a star for ending the Streak than he did before the match, and that's the problem with ending it on this guy. There was no rub received because there was no rub that could be given, he's already a legendary main event wrestler, Why wouldn't you give it to a young guy and try to make them with it? And I know the argument is "well, what if the young guy flopped?" WELL THEN AT LEAST THEY TRIED. At least they would have made an attempt to create a new star, it's better than just tossing it in the dumpster and having Taker lose just to lose. The idea of breaking the Streak should be that whoever does it is a main event guy now, not doing it just because it's his last match and he has to lose. Losing to Lesnar is equally as wasteful as retiring with the Streak in tact.

Half of this was done to build Lesnar's stock because we all know that Brock can't talk for shit and Heyman would have eventually ran out of things to build Brock up with. Now he has something that can be used for the next decade as the benchmark for 'The All Conquering Wrestler'.
If you put that title on someone like Bray Wyatt, you have to be confident that he can remain a top heel for the next 10 years because the fans will never put him over as a face. He doesn't have the build or the flexibility to change his gimmick to allow that, and I don't blame WWE for choosing Brock because he is everything the Streak Breaker should be. A Lean, Mean Conquering Machine.
