Mania was amazing. There was no way Taker should beat Lesnar. Perfectly executed.

Yep. Had nothing to do with Taker at all.

Part of me is glad the streak is over. I'm not happy with who ended it, but let's face it, Undertaker can't keep doing this, every year it just keeps getting worse. I don't even want to believe what I said, but it's the truth. He should have retired with the streak then......

Gotta give WWE credit. I was nervous with the network crashing and the whole thing blowing up in their faces. But thank god it worked great. This WWE network isn't going anywhere guys. Bravo.

Great show. Taker losing was a complete shock to me and everyone I watched it with. Bryan winning was excellent.

According to WWE.com, Billy Gunn sustained hemoptysis after taking the powerbomb from The Shield at WrestleMania tonight.
"At the very end of the match, Billy sustained a powerbomb maneuver," said Dr. Chris Amann. "After that maneuver, he started to develop hemoptysis, which is the medical term for coughing up blood.
"We brought him back and evaluated him immediately, checked his oxygen, his blood pressure … everything was stable," Amann continued. "We got some X-rays of his chest, which did not show any evidence of a collapsed lung, so our diagnosis right now is that he most likely ruptured a small blood vessel that caused bleeding to the airways and, subsequently, coughing up blood."

Tonight was one of the reasons I love being a wrestling fan. The amount of emotion in Taker losing and Bryan winning. To get so caught up in it. It's an amazing thing. I'm so glad I got to watch that live.

A 50 old man losing to Lesnar would have been ludicrous. Absolutely the right decision was made.

I may be one of the few people that saw them losing so quickly making perfect sense. Sheild has dominated some of the best team combos and making short order of Kane and the Outlaws makes them continue to look like a great team unit.

It only froze on me twice for a few seconds and other than that it was running perfectly (which I'm extremely glad about). Hopefully Raw is good tomorrow night.

This is the first wrestling show in a long time that I'm still feeling 30 minutes later. This show was what Jake was talking about in his speech last night. A ing roller coaster of emotion.

Three of the hottest young talent today needed to wipe the floor with three guys far past their prime.

looks like i missed a helluva thread. lol. I've been a fan of this company and this business for 24 years. The fact that the Undertaker's streak was ended by a part time ufc fighter who left the business because he bitched out about "traveling" is an utter DISGRACE to everyone who's watched. If that was going to happen, they should have let Cena do it. Could have built up Shield/Wyatts for a huge payoff at 'Mania, then had Cena go on to face 'Taker. Because at least Cena would have had something to gain...Rock, Austin & Hogan never challenged the streak. Cena would be the next logical choice. I am absolutely sick to my stomach over the conclusion of that horrid match. I don't care if it was Undertaker's "choice"....he's a legend in this business, he should have been smart enough to know that it was an absolute mistake to have it end that way. Undertaker should have been the EXCEPTION to the rule. (Most guys lose their last matches, going out with a whimper) If he was done, he should have beat Brock and rode off into the sunset. Now there will forever be a black mark on something there just should not have been one on. It's a ing DISGRACE that a guy who turned his back on the entire industry gets to have a moment as monumental and historic as what just happened tonight. It was absolutely 100% the wrong decision. Nothing will ever change that, and it really brought down the overall quality of what was otherwise an excellent show. But that's OK because EVERYONE was pissing their pants with excitement even last year for "Lesnar/Taker - the Dream Match!!!" and I knew it was going to be a trainwreck....I just didn't think it would end up being one of the single worst things I've ever witnessed in my 24 years of being a fan.

Network played great for me all night. Lost pic quality a few times but nothing major.
I am not one to complain about WWE booking. I always assume they have a plan and give them the benefit of the doubt. What they do weekly/monthly isn't easy. I miss the days of 4-5 PPVs without PPV quality Raws in between so that stories can be told, and matches aren't repeated constantly.
Undertaker should not have lost to Brock. The streak should never end at this point. If it did it should have been to a legend like HBK/Cena, a young guy like Bryan, or 15 guy outside interference.
What does Brock gain from it? What does WWE gain from it? Brock gets to be a monster for a few months before he disappears again. He is a part time guy only here for the money. He was once the future of the company but walked out and couldn't take it. Had an agreement to come back, but at the last minute backed out to go to UFC. He fights 3 times a year.
Sting continues to drop hints about next yr. Is that off now? I am okay with the streak ending possibly, but the wrong guy did it. Horrible decision. Put's a cloud over the Mania. If it was UT's last match then I get it a little bit, but still WWE gains little from Brock winning.

Do you think Vince walked up to his biggest draw at WM and told him that he would have to lose? Clearly Taker had nothing left in the tank anymore and didn't want to be a cheap cash draw. The only way that could have ended was if Cena beat him, and if he did that..they would have had to turn him heel because of the heat he would have gotten.

Lost a 10 year old $50 bet that Kane would end the streak. I feel dumb.

The Streak is over. It was obviously Takers choice and thats ok. Let it be history, let it be a legacy, It's time to create new history. No more Taker taking a spot on the card.

People acting like Taker had no say in the matter. I'm sure Taker himself chose Lesnar to end the streak. Remember this?
