WWE Writer: "Sir, the crowd is cheering for AJ Styles"
Vince: "Ah, I see"
WWE Writer: "What should we do?"
Vince: "Give Cena a title shot"
WWE Writer: "Will do sir"
+Frosteh *Roman
Vince: Let AJ Styles take on Curtis Axel at Wrestlemania
wwe Creative team: we should make him lose to interference
Vince: GREAT JOB, YOUR PROMOTED
+Frosteh I don't like Aj styles
+Samson Campbell aj styles doesn’t like you...all is right with world now that none of you like each other.....we can move on with our lives........as you were
???
Tense moment waiting to find out if it's going to be Adam's sweet, sweet voice
+Will Ready I know right xD
same here
Same
I was so scared
hahahaha yes
"It made Brock look tough. But so does daylight." I liked that line. It was funny. I laughed.
Makes sense. I mean would you laugh if you didnt find it funny?
@@jakehowell3069 You can find something funny and not laugh.
that sounds like something Aadam would say.
"It makes the Undertaker look like an old man"
But so does daylight.
Wow. Nicely done, sir.
Ow. That one hurt.
It’s true but at least he doesn’t look like a roid rage comic villain from the 90’s
👏🏾
@@wintertrooper7918 least he's a Natrual muscle dude...unlike brick loser
GOOG GOD ALMIGHTY...ADAM BLAMPIED IS BACK....ALL HELL IS GONNA BREAK LOSE....OH GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY
no god he has a family damn it
HE'S CLEARING OUT THE RING!!! SEND THEM TO HELL ADAM!!!
+Awesome SK55 Calm down JR..
+Awesome SK55 (JR Voice) ADAM BLAMPIED, ADAM BLAMPIED, ADAM BLAMPIED!!!
This capacity crowd is losing their damn minds for ADAM BLAMPIED
"LET'S HAVE ROMAN WIN AT WRESTLEMANIA!!"
*2 minutes before main event*
Roman: "I'm ready boss, tell me when to go!"
Vince: "Go out there and make me proud! Oh, also, Seth Rollins is gonna win instead of you!"
Roman: "Wait, wha-"
*music hits*
Vince: "GOOD LUCK ROMAN!"
Roman:"I HAAAAAATE YOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUU"
lol
+The Lunatic Fridge Roman's dad pissed
+tfla11 pissed on what
+gancerdk that he didn't win
That makes no sense as Roman comes through the crowd
As far as Cena calling The Rock a fairy....that was due to his horrible movie The Tooth Fairy
It wasent that bad haha, I liked it. Stupid ending lol. Rock can act
+Luke Easton better than austin, cena, and hogan imo
nobody denied Rock an act and you forgot Triple H is awful at acting
@@3ku1 You summed it up nicely.
The Rock was in the tooth fairy but we all know what he meant when he called him a fairy
what about Vince pretending to die in a limo explosion then Benoit actually dying right after.
Captain Howdy that whole week destroyed my little 5 year old brain at the time, after the “death” episode aired i vividly remember running into my moms room yelling that vince mcmahon just died on tv. then i found out one of my favourite wrestlers ACTUALLY died the next episode when they did that tribute
Don't let this story distract you from the fact that Kevin Sullivan killed Chris Benoit
Yeah that was such a scary time for me I was young watching the wwe at the time of the tragedy for being a kid I didn’t know much about scripts and storylines so I believed everything I saw when Vince was supposed to be dead I was stunned and then the following episode he appears and announces he is not dead but in reality Chris Benoit was I was so tripped out by that shit and then hearing his family was dead too was so disturbing that fucked me up in the head the next 2 years
Well vince’s death was actually going to be a murder mystery storyline but they did the right thing with canning it after Chris Benoit died
ADAM BLAMPIED HAS RETURNED!
+Ashton thornton yeah about 3 whole days or so from his last post... yeah hes been "missing" gtfoh
Blampied is the face of whatculture
WAPADOO DOO DOO DOO DOOOOO
BAW GAWD HES BACK
LORDE OWS
shut up and SAVOR THIS MOMENT
I've offended the blimpy groupies I'm mean *blampied no need to get all emotional
how WWE should book: Seth Rollins return!!!!!!!!
I absolutely agree
Adam already did
+A. M.M.B. I was about to say.
+A. M.M.B. He did how Seth Rollins should turn face
Plz
I got one: Kane's dead girlfriend storyline.
P.Z. Arnott
Kane's story - period.
Yeah, that was a tough one.
Yes sir
@Ziad Khaled He didn't. Back in the early 2000s, the storyline goes that HHH accused Kane of killing his girlfriend in a car crash and had sex with her dead body, while Kane said it the crash was an accident. This angle lead to one of the most infamous moments in WWE: HHH entering a funeral home wearing a Kane mask, stripped down and stared to dry hump a supposed corpse. And yes, you can find it on TH-cam. Type in HHH Katie Vick funeral.
@Ziad Khaled Oh yeah
'and then screamed I can't feel my legs'. Never fucking change WWE
Oh, but they do... They change more than I change my underwear. That's right, I'm a Dirty, Dirty Internet Mark...
#KingRossForPresident
Eddie wouldn't have minded . Eddie was crazy and an amazing wrestler and soul he probably was happy they were using him still viva la raza😊
The first one with John Cena and gay jokes was dumb. WWE shouldn't have apologized for that. people should just stop being so sensitive.
WWE worries too much about their image as a publicly traded company. They also worry too much about their investors.
Thatguywhoplaysguitarandsingsonthatcornerdowntown
LOL!
I dare you to walk up to any gay guy and tell him he's not a man. See where you end up. They'll make *you* into a little bitch.
Closed minded people are under the impression that gay men are stereotypically weak and feminine. You can't be further than the truth.
I have gay friends that would kick the shit out of you just for looking at them wrong lol.
+SuperCerealAlex _ ''I have gay friends that would kick the shit out of you just for looking at them wrong lol.''
That sounds pretty weak to me, though
+Zanon The Tiger Yeah, because threatening someone over the internet and insulting them in the process REALLY gives you faith in humanity...
I'm just biased because of how much I love Undertaker but no one was worthy of breaking the streak. Brock Lesnar was never the right choice to end the streak; I feel like only a select couple of people would've been the right choice, like Shawn Michaels.
Definitely!! For me, I would love to see Kane, Randy Orton, or Edge to end it
or his best friend since WCW, Sting. Steve Borden
John cena vs undertaker
Rhys Somers They should had chose someone that wrestles more often. That could been a extreme jump for someone .
cjallday1130.. 100% Sting's first Mania should've been breaking the streak.. not losing to HHH.. they couldn't use the breaking of the streak to put over a younger talent because it would've buried them in the eyes of the fans.. so you use sting.. another wrestling Icon who will be over with fans no matter what
You forgot to mention the Mr. McMahon limo explosion storyline which got scrapped because of the 2007 Benoit Family Tragedy.
Are we not forgetting Vince McMahon's fake death storyline was ruined by a certain Canadian wrestler?
I honestly thought it was going to be number 1, but whatever
+Conor Wade To be fair, that was pretty difficult to forsee!
+Conor Wade
I wouldn't say it backfired but came to abrupt end because of that incident...we'll never know if it was gonna backfire
+Conor Wade That storyline would have been bad even if Benoit didn't die, it was doomed from the start. Just like The Vince's son storyline
Dr. Romulus Cthulhuwitz They were meant to be tied together where Mr Kennedy was revealed to be his son and blew up the limo and then he got injured and got replaced by Hornswoggle.
Ugh. I remember the Orton/Mysterio feud. I lost a LOT of respect for WWE with the low-class cheap heel heat from that program.
Personally I felt it was great giving the title for the first time to Mysterio and having them dedicate that win to his friend Guerrero, but then they dragged it right on and killed the pop of the angle stone dead. No doubt behind the scenes they kept feeling like they had to continue Eddie's legacy, keep his family in the spotlight and all that, but when Rey won the title they had done enough as that was great. But it went from being nice to being low rent crap, cuz they didn't end it right.
All I had to hear was Randy spouting that Eddie was in Hell for me to be sick of not just the angle but WWE for a while.
I'm still mad that the undertaker was beaten at WM, especially by Brock Lesnar. Horrible
Truly one of the worst decisions I've ever seen
I remember actually telling a friend "fuck off you're lying." when I heard about that. I haven't enjoyed wrestling since around 1999. Give or take. But even I remembered how big of a deal Undertaker was.
Same, like how dare they. Do they have no brain or is for booking?
I hold fast to the theory that Brock was not supposed to win. He gave Undertaker a concussion and after the match it takes Taker a couple of tries to even stand. Paul Heyman (I know he's incredible) looks genuinely shocked. The referee said he didn't know that Brock was going to win, that's why the third count is slow. I think Brock did real damage, Taker couldn't kick, and the wwe is covering to save the Phenom's rep as well as their own. All these Taker decided to end it stories came way later. Considering the wwe has more leaks than the Titanic not one person tipped off that Lesner was going to break the streak? Hogwash
Carl Weddle i guess thats possible but i still think Taker wouldve continued with the show as planned. Remember when he competed in an entire elimination chamber after being burned by his own pyro? Hes a tough SOB
I havent actually cared about wrestlemanias since undertakers streak was beaten....
+BladeBuzz exactly
+BladeBuzz exactly.
+^NutcasE^ So basically you didnt care about last years Wrestlemania...
Tyler Meyers So basically i havent cared about WWE since PG era. Only reason i kept watching was to see who poor soul tried to end the streak.... And now its just plain boring pg carbage.
+^NutcasE^ I haven't watched the shit since 2010.
Is Adam pacciti out with a shoulder injury
+AM Gaming I think he's the Christian tom Adam B's edge lol just as he got over by singing at the entrance of that arena :)
Nah, I think he just needs some milk and he'll be alright
+AM Gaming
Throat injury, that dastardly Macho Man.
+AM Gaming That Cena Colada made him lose his smile so he'll be gone for a little while.
+AM Gaming Not even trying to be original.. Just straight up copy an old comment..
Gay jokes are not homophobia, they are just jokes.
Yes they are..???
+TurnaboutAdam no they are not.
But it's not like Ronald McDonald will say gay jokes right? He is the face of mcdonalds.
That's a weird similarity
Stupid ? If you make jokes with using gay as an insult or jokes about gays it is homophobic -.-
So If I call your mom a hippo, does that mean I have animalphobia?
amazing stuff
@BeerBiceps Didn't expect you involved in WWE related videos
I was pretty neutral regarding Mysterio from 2002-2005. But how WWE used Eddie's death to give him a Rumble win and a World Title was shameful. I get Chavo being hung up on Eddie, but Rey name-dropped him more than Newt Gingrich does Ronald Reagan.
Swwwweeeett political joke
Streak had to be broken... even Taker wanted that...
+MHD Atris It should've ended at 25-0
+Daniel Almanza not really, by what i know, the match was supposed to by winned by taker, but the last f5 of lesnar was so fast, that he couldn't protect his head and leaded to a concusion and then taker couldn't scape the pin, but well may im wrong, but that's something that i heared
+horriblequin The loss was planned but he did get a concussion.
+Daniel Almanza By someone who needed a push. It really did nothing for Lesner. It should've been Bray, or...hell...Sting would've even been better.
No,they already had the 21-1 sign ready! It had to be planned.
A fairy with a tooth? that's a gay joke? He was in the "Tooth fairy".
Double entendre
A fairy with a tooth? Is tooth a slang for something else? If not, thats horrible writing...
They should still apologize, for it being cringey lol
The streak loss was the shittest wwe decision ever
Honestly, many people wanted to see Sting break the streak.
2:40 that "BOOOOOOO" Sign killed me. GOLD.
I *HATED* the WWE for the thing they did at #1 :(
I agree. Horrible idea
Worst thing ever
It could have been worse. Imagine if Roman Reigns ended the streak. I'm glad that Brock Lesnar ended it because it was believable and made sense. I'm just not happy that it was by a part-timer. Imagine if it was the Brock Lesnar in 2003.
FloschiX a
Ol Glez lmao boy do i have some news for u
and I kinda liked The Beast, The Conquerer, The Next Big Thing ended The Phenom's streak
Me too. I don't understand how it supposedly backfired
Brock or Bray were my only 2 choices to end the streak if they had to have it broken, Bray's new face of fear supernatural thing has gone south beyond repair with Taker winning all their major encounters but Lesnar is still a beast, which is good for whomever ends up beating him clean.
The Demon Of Hell And Darkness can't change the past though, With Bray being about as intimidating as somebody wearing a white sheet and saying boo these days there's no one who fills the supernatural threat void and that's a shame. Sting would of been great too but it's not like he would stuck around for the fallout as his remaining matches are numbered too and as we saw WWE just won't let him win in the end.
The Demon Of Hell And Darkness and I'm not saying that you are wrong, just that I was taking my picks from year to year options from when I started watching before WM29 because I can't change how things were booked before (not that I can now, but it feels different to pick fantasy booking between past and in that moment upcoming events xD). With Undertaker not getting any younger but still coming back the suspension of disbelief becomes harder and harder that nobody could end streak using raw power, even with all the respect in the world for his contribution.
About Bray, I think they had struck something when he started using mind games against Reigns involving his daughter but unfortunately chickened out of it, and then did the whole harvesting of powers which went absolutely nowhere too, shame really. Wyatts are a lot like Big Show, they are only a threat when storyline demands for it and it could of been avoided, in my opinion at least.
Adam you are awesome,keep doing videos like this.
Brilliant Adam! You had me in stitches sir. 😂😂😂👏👏👏
About the Brawl for All, "some idiot" is Vince Russo.
Why was anyone surprised that WCW was a train wreck when he took over
Not sure why alot of ppl out there say that Hassan from WWE ain't Arabic? His mom is Arabic, and from i understand she is from Jordan. So that makes him HALF ARABIC, since his dad from what i read is Italian.
fpshooterful he's not full Arabic
what ever the case maybe he is still part Arabic.. and the whole point with this character was to show America's prejudice towards this character. But i blame WWE for coming up with some dumb angles for this Hassan character as well. Coming up with those stupid masked men to help Hassan was just dumb. To me Hassan would have been for SURE a top heel in the company.. but we live in a PG society.
PC had nothing to do with it.
Props on using quisling I love when my wrestling clip shows and Norm Macdonald interviews crossover
Adam You're back missed you bro
am I the only one that actually agreed.with lesnar breaking the streak?? I dunno it just needed to be done and he was the right person
The streak in my opinion wasn't that big of a deal, it was a once a year win. ._.;
The Demon Of Hell And Darkness Okay?
+Sean Barrett Yes. You are the only person who liked that angle.
+Sean Barrett Nope! I thought it was a valid decision. Surely asking 'what did the most shocking moment in Wrestlemania history actually achieve?' answers it's own question.
name not found He isn't the only person.
Note: the Sin cara now, is not the original "Sin Cara" intact he's a little bit better than the original one, not only has the current Sin Cara won tag team titles, but also unlike the original one who stopped a match due to a broken finger, He finished a match with a dislocated shoulder. Props to the current Sin Cara for toughening it out
i'm honestly surprised cena defeating the nexus at summerslam didn't make it. It single handed killed one of the best factions they had going at the time
Adam I swear I will only watch WhatCulture videos if you're talking. Lmao hilarious .
Using Eddie Guerrero’s death after Rey Mysterio won The WWE World Championship was wrong with JBL mocking it and later in the year using it to set up a feud between Rey Mysterio And Chavo Guerrero
"It made Brock look tough, but so does daylight"
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
good list
Chris Benoit mourning Eddie Guerrero is the best thing I've seen all year.
See kids? Crying because you're not gonna get it your way pays off. Just like it payed of to all the neckbeards who ruined Batista so a farm animal can win the belt.
+Electrifying 3:16 Alright Vince, calm down.
+Electrifying 3:16 Batista, an old, overated wrestler that was popular only because HHH knew how to push him, and had a lot of shit matches in his career, or Bryan, an younger, way more talented wrestler that's actually popular because he can wrestle. I think I know who I will choose.
+Ania Ruchała Batista is a badass who, no mather on the quality of a match, was always entertaining and a great "proffessional wrestler". Daniel Bryan is John Cena who kicks people. Batista usually does about 6-8 moves, Bryan does 3 (kicks, Yes lock and running knee).
+Electrifying 3:16 "how dare people cheer for what they want" ayy lmao.
+Ania Ruchała You must have not watched Batista. he had some awesome matches and feuds with the undertaker, john cena, rey mysteryo, ect.He's definitely not overrated. But daniel bryan definitely is.
the rock was starring in a movie called tooth fairy lolol
"What did the most shocking moment in Wrestlemania history archive?"
Answered your own question there mate
Good list
I had stopped watching wwe quite a long time before the streak was broken and omg was I not at all happy about it when I heard from a friend. The Undertaker was probably the one thing I unironically liked about WWE and his character while silly reminds me of a better time when it was a story not a randomized slug fest for no reason besides "sport"
Lesnar was always seen as a big tough badass but honestly him beating Taker is what made him what he is now. Before his match with Taker he was not seen as this level of scary unbeatable. Before his match with Taker we saw Lesnar face The Big Show at the Royal Rumble and instead of actually facing him he just beat him with chairs for awhile before leaving. Before that he had a little run in 2012 where he lost to Cena and Punk. Lesnar's current unbeatable presence is entirely because of him breaking the streak. I think it has paid off becuase without that we would not have the Lesnar we have now.
He didn't lose to Punk.
+Kyle Piper not at all true. i could beat the undertaker and im not even a wrestler.. hes a joke at this point. anyone who sees him move is instantly going to know to go for the old mans knees. brock "happened" to beat the streak, but only because at this point a heart attack or stroke is equally likely to take him out.
Aye you used the Allstate arena in rosemont il! Dopeb
god how i love that WC makes Doctor Who references
Wow, you went through the entire Eddie-sploitation angle without mentioning Vickie?
Really ticks off my wife. It's one of the things she mentions when talking about no longer watching wrestling.
hassan was freaking awesome👌
But they booked him so badly
Abdullah _ yeah you're right
It's amazing how you can have just below 500 k subs, but have above 1 mil views :D
This is my favorite channel.
AAAADDDDAAAAAMMMMM your back :)
....
You're"
youre sorry guys im not from America nor England. These mistakes happen sometimes
ADAM IS BACK!!!!!!!1!!!11!!!!ONE!!!!!!!1!!!!1!!!!!
"HEY" - said a dumbass in 1998. lmao best line ever.
You know it's funny. I don't even like wrestling. I just watch these videos because Adam is narrating them. That just shows the greatness of his ability.
Anybody surprised that Vince Russo came up with the Brawl for All.
R.I.P Katie Vick
what culture's best youtuber??
Ans:Adam.....
ur best man keep going...
WAY, WAY more than just 10 storylines in the last 10 Years. That were terrible! Anybody agree with me?
lesnar beating the streak was perfect
Completely disagree with someone who walked out on the company after being given everything throughout 2002/2003, and working only part time while WWE suffers through its worst ratings since pre-Attitude era defeating the streak that involved legends like Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair, etc. Brock didn't need it, neither of them looked good because of it, and it was ultimately a publicity stunt that gained nothing at all, which is why it's in this video countdown.
CarloisBuriedAlive brock went on to win the wwe title and was part of the match of the year in the rumble triple threat match that's what they got out of it. How's that not enough
I low key miss this Adam’s videos. I always get a laugh from them
4:48 BAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!! OMFG That was the best
Well Blampied is back.... Now we are waiting for PACITTI!!! #PACITTICLUB
The whole Cena situation makes me remember how much I hate this new PC world.
eat shit, moron
Ffs it WAS A JOKE ABOUT THE TOOTH FAIRY fuck off sociopath
deezy breezy I know, I hate it too. You can't even make an innocent joke without some dumbass being "offended". It's gotten really ridiculous.
nellz72 The jokes people wanna make these days are far from innocent. Hell, they aren't even jokes! People just want excuses to be racist, sexist, (to either gender) homophobic and then they cover it up with "it's just a joke!" Jokes aren't supposed to be rude. They're supposed to make people laugh. Fucking Christ....
He called The Rock a Fairy with a Tooth, or the Tooth Fairy..
Because he literally played the Tooth Fairy.
Dude I fucking love your dry humor. You have a fan in me.
The streak ending was great. Not everything has to achieve something or give a rub. The streak provided a monumental moment in WWE history. It is something we will always remember. Creating these moments is what it's about.
Should've had taker pass the torch to bray
AustroStudios I would've loved to see Kane, Punk, edge, or Bray do it
Why? So Bray could steal his gimmick faster?
James Harris Yea, and Bray needed that momentum, he could actually be solidified as the new face of evil.
azart61 Brother not in Kayfabe also.
Would've been better if he retired undefeated, have his last match be a casket match or a buried alive match, and end his career that way. I miss those gimmick matches
*mentioning Eddie more than hulk mentions his brothers* XD
sounds like Ramsay Bolton and tyrion lannister have fused to sound like this..... great humour in the video though😂😂
Lesnar beating undertaker would be fine he didn't just lose to Goldberg like a jobber.
Yep! Now, if Lesnar beats Goldberg at Wrestlemania, it's just gonna look even worse.
Goldberg's first clean loss should go to a newer upriser for a legit career push, and not someone who is already on top. Otherwise, Goldberg needs to retire undefeated.
Making Roman the face of the company should be on top of this list I think at number zero.
"It made Brock look tough, but, so does daylight." Bwahahaa 😅😅
Do top 10 Wrestling Controversies!
if you think Batista was gonna promote guardians you obviously know nothing.
marvel needed NO help promoting a movie.
and they DID have D bry planned to win.
it was gonna be CM punk (but we saw how that turned out
+Robert Harmon it was not about Marvel, it was about to get some views for the WWE.....
I kinda liked Brock beating Undertaker. But I feel like no matter who broke Undertaker's streak people would still be unsatisfied with that superstar.
So who do you think should have beat Undertaker then?
+TheMikx29 Shawn Michaels
+TheMikx29 Shawn michaels
+Darriana Ratcliff I would have liked Randy Orton to end it.
+FuriousGaming or Bray, you know to pass on the torch.
4:52 one of the best and funniest insults I’ve heard in a while
finally, adams back! i can finallt watch whatculturewwe!!
I like what culture wrestling but sick of all the PC angles. The vast majority don't agree that those jokes are off limits. Won't be signing up as a paid customer now.
fearghall allonby A joke is a joke, the context is what matters. Like Trey Parker & Matt Stone said if you stop making jokes about 1 thing then everything becomes off limits. And that's when the World becomes even more of a PC nightmare!
Depends. Everyone's different.
Yaya goldberg beat brock in a min something n the streak loss was for absolutely nothing, should've given it to Wyatt n made the kid's career n we get a new face of evil n we all know wwe seriously need a few.
Hussain Abdul Rehman hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
nop
1:02 liverpool fan! :D
And to top things off, when the set "collapsed on Vince," a set of lights that surrounded Vince "exploded" right before the light tower that "crushed" him fell over - and WHAT a COINCIDENCE, the area that the light tower hit just happened to be the area of the exploding lights
Gay jokes and homophobia are two very very very different things
"Glad caught wind..."
Translation: They heard about a comment on a show they don't even watch and threatened to hurt their rating with a boycott of said show they weren't going to watch anyways.
"Well.... Since Vince was older than most trees...."-Adam 😂😂 can't stop laughing!!!
Why is it so hard to accept Brock beating the Undertaker? You have a young mountain of a man against an old dude on his 21st Wrestlemania. If they want the streak to remain intact they should have stopped booking him in Wrestlemania.
Because he's a part timer according to salty smarks. They expect him to work every show including Buttfuck, Tennessee.
Jester The Slacker Lesnar isn't young. He was long past his prime at Mania 30.
Jester The Slacker taker lost his 22nd mania fight
wtf i hate Cena but...what he said was nothing...why would anyone get offended by that....damn i am sick of this offending era...
I like how it is a few years later, and #1 has paid off monstrously. Haha.
Oh if Adam could see him now.
Can someone explain to me the entry with Daniel Brian? I watched that segment a few times, but still don't get it.
I wanted Brock to beat the streak so don't say no one some people thought it was a good idea
The Demon Of Hell And Darkness Lol okay ? What has it to do with being dumb I was never a big fan of taker but I always liked Lesnar even in the ufc. He was the right beast to do it and you know it too
The Demon Of Hell And Darkness shut up
yeah but the match could have been better though.
+Turk Aslan
While I wouldn't say that I wanted Brock to beat the streak, I certainly didn't think it was the disaster that this video makes it out to be. The problem was in the setup and the match itself:
1. There wasn't any real reason for the two to be fighting. If memory serves, Brock was about to go away, having been denied a chance at the WWE title by the authority, when UT comes out to challenge him. It would have made a lot more sense for Brock (or rather Heyman) to say that if the Authority was going to deny Brock a chance at the title, then Brock would go after the only other thing that matters in the WWE--UT's streak.
2. With both guys being part time wrestlers, there was very little opportunity for interaction between the two in the buildup, and I can't remember any of their interactions being interesting. I do remember them having a pretty good pull-apart brawl, but I can't remember if it was during this buildup or during their 2015 feud.
3. The match itself was mediocre. Now that isn't entirely the WWE's fault as UT got injured earlier, but still a match that ends UT's WM streak should have been a classic, with UT doing everything he can to prevent it. The ending was simply anti-climactic.
The reason I say this angle didn't backfire is that it gave Lesnar some credibility after two years of pretty bad booking, including losing his first match back against Cena--for no other reason than VKM's pettiness at Lesnar ditching the WWE in 2004 in the first place. Then there was the three matches against HHH, none of which were particularly noteworthy, not to mention booking him against Big Show. The only match in which Lesnar looked more like his old self and won was against CM Punk
Beating the streak made Lesnar into an instant title contender and set the stage for him to destroy Cena at Summerslam 2014 (which is what he should have done two years prior), and become a dominant champion (as dominant as you can be when you are not on TV for four months).
Brock will always be a title contender even WITHOUT beating the streak. So what's the point of that?
Plus, Undertaker's WM matches aren't burial grounds for talent. Even if you lose, you'll probably in a great match and will be ready for a push.
I absolutely agree with your #1 !
Does anyone know what's the song used at the very beginning, the kinda elevator music?
"Nobody wanted it to happen..." - I sure did. Once they realized the streak was a thing and started running with it there was no bigger snooze to me than the Undertaker's yearly feud and inevitable win at WrestleMania. Even if some of the matches were good I couldn't ever get invested in them because I knew Taker was always going over.
Same for me. Most of the times I skipped Taker's Mania matches.
On the Stone Cold Podcast Show discusses his frequent turns (Which are over 30 now) and says that he basically does it to fill whatever roll is needed for a particular match. It doesn't suit the continuity of his character but it always means there's a big guy to fill space.
I felt like McMahon personally spit in my face when they ended undertakes streak.
