I just don't get it. Why did brock prevail and win? He has been in and out of the wwe for years, and is already getting old as well .why not give it to John cena or an upcoming star like roman reigns to define that individual. But brock, why? I guess undertaker is done, but I'm not so sure I wonder if Undertaker wanted to put Bryan over. I remember earlier reports saying that he wanted to work with Bryan this year, but since Bryan was booked to win the title, Brock was 2nd choice maybe. That's just my guess. I hate to say this, but unfortunately punk kinda ed it up for that match if that was true. Because in a way Bryan became with cm punk of what mania was supposed to be, because punk was supposed to fight hhh, but obviously Bryan took that spot. I'm still in amazement it was brock though

No way in hell Cena could "get away with it." Look at all the people pissed off he beat Bray because "he didn't need it." Now imagine the internet exploding if Cena broke it. Yeah. It'd be terrible. Daniel Bryan then?

I love taker... I will always be a mark for what he had done in the ring, and how he has been outside of the ring. If that is the end of the Deadman, I'm sure it was Takers decision and I respect that. However... Even if that wasn't Taker's last match, I still think having the streak broken was a good thing, and here is why. Before, the build up to most of takers Wrestlemania matches have been pretty epic... But can that really be said for the last few years? The last great build up was WM 27 vs HHH... WM 28's build up centred around Taker wanting revenge, and proving it by getting a hair cut. WM 29's build up was heading in disaster before Bearer's passing... And that didn't do too much to salvage it. WM 30 barely had a build up. The streak and the predictable outcome I feel hampered the build up for the matches. Now there is a bit more freedom when it comes to the buildup of Taker's Wrestlemania matches... And also... Sure he won't go into the hall of fame with 'undefeated at Wrestlemania', but what it will say is '21 consecutive victories at wrestlemania'... And that's still pretty damn good (sorry if this was a little incoherent, trying to type on a small phone) You, sir, are making entirely too much sense. I must insist you leave the internetz immediately.

My point about Cena is that he ALREADY is hated by a large portion of the audience. Not like ending 'Taker's streak would have made it worse and since everyone seems to be OK with it now because "Undertaker said so" than what's the difference at least if a guy the caliber of Cena did it it would make SENSE. Lesnar is going to wrestle like 4 or 5 matches over the next 18 months. That's a ing joke as it is, now he gets to be the one that ended the streak? him, he didn't deserve that crapon any planet let alone this one. Someone please give me a legitimate and logical reason as to why Brock "I walked out on the company" Lesnar got to defeat The Undertaker at Wrestlemania when Shawn Michaels couldn't or Triple H or Batista or Edge...or anyone else and don't give me "well Undertaker obviously wanted Brock to do it" thats a lame excuse too...and to be honest I'm saying Undertaker is a moron if he thought Lesnar should be the one to do it

I thought he asked for and was granted his release in '04. And Undertaker (someone with a ton of political pull in the WWE) wanted to drop a match to anyone, how is that not a legit/logical reason? Seems pretty simple to me.

Now that I've had time to digest it, I actually think it's great that the streak ended.
The Undertaker is more than his win/loss record, and it was upsetting me that all he seems to be known for in the twilight of his career is his once-a-year performance and not for the consistent work he was putting in week in and week out for twenty years and the magnificent performances and moments he's given us on Raw and SD and other PPVs.
Undertaker is more than his streak, and I'm glad the streak is no longer the standard by which his career will be measured.

I'm not pissed the streak ended. Sure, if I had my way, he'd retire undefeated at Wrestlemania, but I've always felt kind of open to the idea of the streak being broken. I felt this way because I really thought that if the streak ended, the WWE would make sure that it was the single most epic moment in their history. I was also sure that they would pick the right guy. IMO Brock is the wrong guy, and the moment just seemed bizarre. By the way, I accept that Taker will have at the very least agreed on Brock being the guy to break the streak, and I think he probably made a bad decision there, with all due respect.
Very simply, the match flat out sucked, there have been plenty of better opportunities to break the streak, and the moment fell flat IMO. Of course, there was a huge reaction after the 3 count, but shortly before that and soon after it the crowd seemed pretty dead. Maybe I just expected too much, but I just think that breaking the streak (if they had to) was a huge opportunity, and they haven't even come close to maximising that potential. Truth is, the WWE will probably never create anything as big as this again. A win over Taker at WM has long been seen as the biggest possible win anyone could get, and they sort of pissed it away to me.

Undertaker is greater than a statistic, Undertaker is greater than WrestleMania, Undertaker is WWE!

I still feel so empty inside. It's like...something is missing.

Should of been Punk last year for 20-1 because it was a 4 star match with great build up and would of got great heel heat on punk Rather than a 1 star match with a part timer who doesn't care about wrestling At least give it to someone up and coming. Bang on. Should have been punk or someone who would have gained something from it Lesnar winning just makes me really sad. Undertaker has been my favourite wrestler since i started watching in 97 and its such a shame. It should have ended 20-0 with Taker winning or 20-1 with Punk winning. Even his entrance and exit didn't feel epic. The outfit was rubbish. Just the whole thing was poorly hyped, planned and played out.

Punk could of used it the most IMO, he has never really gotten a win over anyone memorable cleanly. Lost to rock twice, taker, Brock, cena He's supposed to be a top star not jobber to the part timers. A taker win would have made him a #1 heel for years to come
Plus 20-1 sounds better than 21-1

So with all the talk of who people would rather want other than Brock to beat the streak I would like to ask...... Is there anyone who if they beat Taker at Wrestlemania, you would be absolutely 100% ok with?

I honestly thought the End of an Era match with Triple H was going to end Taker's streak, but to Lesnar, That's just kinda odd to me for some reason.Also, correct me if I'm wrong, Lesnar is undefeated against Taker every time they had a match. Man, Heyman's gonna talk a lot of smack for the next few years or so on this.

I disagree.....Kane as a character was way too damaged to end it.

To me. It was either HBK because he's "Mr. Wrestlemania", or Brock because Taker's NEVER been able to beat him 1 v 1.

Am I the only one who thinks T's mother should've ended The Streak? She was OVER.
