Mammoth Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I was always one of those in the camp that felt he should lose the streak eventually, but I always thought it would/should be to someone WWE considered to be the next 'number one guy', but Brock Lesnar? He's part-time at best and he's not exactly the future of the company unless it was part of a deal that he'd stay longer and work more regularly but I have a horrible feeling it was more to do with 'Taker and Lesnar being friends. At least it puts paid to Sting versus 'Taker next year... EDIT: Oh, and Bryan has to win now or the vultures are going to be circling.

lazorbeak Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Doesn't make much sense to talk about WWE "losing fans" because an old man on a one match a year schedule lost. Wouldn't surprise me if he retired tomorrow on Raw and/or tried to retire, but got roped into "one last match" against Bray or somebody.

lazorbeak Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 <p>Except it creates outrage, which is good for business? And was Undertaker's choice?

DaMegaFish Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I'm not so much upset at The Streak hitting its end, it was just the match wasn't all that great compared to more recent Taker matches. The whole pace of the match felt like it was in the final phase with it being slow and just big move followed by big move. Maybe though, the match was just a bit of a disappointment since Taker and Lesnar doesn't stand the chance to compare to something like Taker vs Punk, HBK, or Triple H like we've had for years. I'm willing to give it time and see how things play out from here though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mammoth Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 As I alluded to before, I don't mind that the streak ended or that it was to Brock Lesnar if there are plans for him to become more of a regular, but do you know what? The match wasn't even that great and right now, I can't decide whether that's a good thing or a bad thing. On the one hand, it may be the biggest hint yet that 'Taker can't even pull it out of the bag for one match a year but on the other hand, what a way to go out after the last three/four years when the streak match has almost been the highlight of each year in terms of quality. Probably best he got out now to be honest... Overall, an excellent show. The media interest in the WWE over the next couple of weeks is going to be astronomical and that main event that everyone thought was going to be horrendous? Well didn't they pull that out of the bag. Not the best Wrestlemania ever in terms of quality, matches or storylines necessarily but certainly one of the most memorable.

Basmat01 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 <p>Although I dont care that taker lost the streak I felt it did kill the momentum of the PPV the crowd just wasnt that hot after that. I didnt think Daniel got that much of a pop the second time around. but seriously the Divas match after the taker match?</p><p> </p><p> I thought the taker match was the worst of the night not because of taker but because of Brock seriously bloke ever thought about doing some cardio? the guy was seriously gassed 6 min into the match. Taker is what 49? he shouldnt be expected to carry the whole match. Taker has relied on who he has faced to help put up the load. Seriously Brock they were some pretty weak German Suplexes.</p><p> </p><p> I felt for Orton when he landed on the monitor when doing the RKO.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
