It definitely shouldn’t have ended up with him losing twice. The second he lost to Brock he should’ve just retired. Them making him lose to Roman also was pathetic. And the John Cena match was embarrassing.
The WWE has to worry about building other stars up. When stone cold was big they had a problem of finding sombody to compete against him for awhile that the audience could enjoy. So they need to prop other fighters up and get as many as possible. The good ones are retiring and there will be nobody good left.
I can agree with Taker’s suggestions (Wyatt especially), but WWE really never should’ve ended it. If he had hung it up undefeated it would’ve been a perfect legacy for The Deadman.
@@Kosten_2K I can respect him wanting to go out in that way, knowing how old school he was. What’s always bothered me is that Brock didn’t need the win, and seeing that Taker worked every Mania to follow (except 35, if my memory is correct,) there were still a few chances to honor that wish while making a new star. Instead Roman Reigns was put in an impossible position a few years later, and Bray Wyatt was sacrificed for a feud that was without its most compelling element from the jump thanks to the previous Mania.
@@gabepollock1641 ask Vince he was the main culprit for it. I also think Brock also did not want to end the streak as he is already a big star in the company and by ending the streak he will not gain anything from it. I believe in the past there were also some reports that Taker was suppose to be win but vince decide it in last minute to make Brock win it. I think if Vince is smart by using Roman to end the streak and turning him heel on raw next day, we will get one of the greatest heel earlier than the tribal chief era, but Vince with his ego still want Roman to be a face of the company by building him like super Cena at that time.
@@spritzerhijo Roman should’ve never ended the streak in less he was a heel going into the storyline of wrestlemania the way they did the wrestlemania match years after the streak was over was just terrible booking.
So much respect and love. Truly though the streak should of never been broke. It is a legendary achievement to have had the streak and the perfect record for the Deadman. I do respect the fact that it did end.
They definitely should have broken the streak, because it was the biggest rub ever built up in the history of professional wrestling. It would have been an incredible waste, a waste of undertaker's entire career, to not use the breaking of the streak like that. It would have all been for nothing, if they didn't break the streak. It would have been saying that Undertaker's whole career never really meant anything, and that all the blood sweat and tears he put in over 3 decades wasn't important or meaningful. Never in the entire history of professional wrestling worldwide, had been built up as big as Taker's streak. They HAD to use it, otherwise what would have been the point of it all? Not using it would be like climbing up almost the entirety of mount everest, but then when you're just a couple of yards below the peak of the mountain, you decide to end your climb there and turn back, so that you never actually climb to the top of mount everest but just 99.99% of it. Why wouldn't you just climb up those extra few yards to get to the very top of the mountain? If you actually turned back then, then it would have meant all the incredibly strenuous effort you put in over the days and weeks of being there climbing would have been for nothing. No, nobody would ever climb up it but then turn around only a few yards from the peak. And similarly, breaking undertaker's streak was the biggest deal in the history of wrestling. They'd put in decades of very hard work to build it up, and you're just gonna not use it right at the end when you could give someone the biggest rub the business has ever seen? Then what was the point of doing the streak in the first place!? I don't think Brock was the best decision for who to end the streak, but I think it's worked out very well. Since he broke the streak he's remained as the final boss of WWE, the guy everyone has to beat to reach the top of the roster. WWE have been able to use Brock time and time and time again to lose to the next big thing in the company, the next top guy, and so despite Brock losing a fair amount, he still remains very credible as an undefeatable-seeming beast of a man. They've got a whole decade of use of Brock as the ultimate jobber ever. And it's because he broke the streak, and so he has permanent credibility forever more, despite how often he loses. So in that sense, WWE got an incredible amount of good, positive things, from having Brock break the streak. So even though I would have picked someone else to break the streak, personally, I think WWE have definitely made great use of Brock being the one, they've really got their money's worth from it, and so it's completely justified in that sense.
He could've easily refused to end the streak and Vince couldnt have done anything about it. It would have been a legendary achievement, but he loved WWE more than personal accomplishments. Big props to this man.
@@itshouse2766when was this? Because Taker had said the ending wasn't changed until the day of the event, 4 hours before it started to be exact, and he asked Vince, if he was sure, and Vince replied, "if not him, then who", and Taker agreed after that
That's the point, he wanted it to end. Undertaker had enough pull backstage that Vince would've went with any idea he wanted, and that's why it was broken
Literally every wrestler who's been taught the very foundation of wrestling thought that the Streak was always gonna end. That's not Taker's opinion alone.

Of the two it should have been Bray. The narrative at the time was that Bray was the ‘new’ Undertaker and it would have cemented it. Roman was already destined for his top spot. Bray made it part of his character that he was overlooked, it’s what his second match at mania with Cena was about. Had he been the guy to break the streak it would have shot him to the moon instead of being misused for so long.
Honestly. And hear me out. It should have been Kane. When you think of the Brothers of Destruction you think of Taker and Kane. I think if Kane broke the streak it would have been more satisfying due to their history, and also would have elevated kanes legacy that much more.
Better script imo is, Someone who need the win (like Mark said like Wyatt or Reigns), THEN somehow got helped by Kane to win. This way, the winner will receive hate yet a 'higher status'. From here the rest of the story can be anything. Like, give him a redemption arc or sum and eventually fight Kane perhaps? Idk, although they have history as BOD I don't Kane is the right guy to ended it.
Kane ending the streak in one of the 2 matches he had with Taker would not have been as big. The streak was still very young by the 2nd time they faced off at mania. The first match Taker was 6-0 going into it and the streak wasn’t even talked about at that point in time. the second match Taker was 11-0 going into it. So no it would not have been as big of a deal as when Brock ended the 21-0 streak. Kane was already finished and buried at that point of his career. Bray Wyatt was still young(Only 25)and being booked horribly. If he had beaten Taker in Brocks place, he would’ve became bigger then he was and won more championships and main evented more Wrestlemanias.
It would have been perfect for storyline purposes if Taker faced Bray Wyatt and beat him, like he did, but Bray later returned as The Fiend and The Fiend ended the streak.
Bray Wyatt should have been the one, he has the best character work out of anyone who has ever been in the WWE, if they gave that man free leash, we would have a new unbeatable fenom.
I respect this I can agree with Taker’s suggestions (Wyatt especially), but WWE really never should’ve ended it. If he had hung it up undefeated it would’ve been a perfect legacy close.
He's not wrong. Brock was a top guy who got a rub he didn't need so could what? Go to SummerSlam and destroy Cena? Which he could have believably done anyway without this extra feather in his cap. It's like putting over Superman on his way to defeating Lex Luthor for the 185th time.
Brock carried the company for the next 10 years after it happened. Your not buying ppvs or subscription to network without brock being on it. Name on other legit star
@andrewvazquez1936 brock stayed with the company for the next 10 years! You claim all this part time shit, dude, if you watch boxing you get floyd Mayweather twice a year. Brock ruled wwe from the day he came back after wm 28. Yes he broke the streak. But who at that time did you want to beat it that you would pay money to see today??? Who is worth paying money to see today? Roman is like a joke champion that is just getting pushed to keep the company relevant. We know wwe is global, but there is, and hasn't been a legit global superstar to keep this company going since cena is the 2010s, or brock in the 2020s. Yes at the time I disagree with brock breaking the streak. But he stuck around for 10 years and used it. Finn, shinsuke, aj styles, definitely not kevin owns are getting money pouring in for ppv or wwe network. Let's just be honest with ourselves, brock made a decision to stay with the company and he was the biggest name the company could have and have made them more money then anyone other flipper they could offer. It's not cirus Olay, it's wrestling, gotta have a true badass. Brock kept his word and I guarantee you ain't buying the next bs ppv unless a name like brock is on it.
Not breaking the streak would have been the stupidest most retarded decision in the history of professional wrestling. Only an idiot or a idiot child would think they shouldn't have broken it. They definitely should have broken the streak, because it was the biggest rub ever built up in the history of professional wrestling. It would have been an incredible waste, a waste of undertaker's entire career, to not use the breaking of the streak like that. It would have all been for nothing, if they didn't break the streak.

I strongly disagree🤔 By the year of 2006, Kurt had accomplished everything you could possibly think of in the company. With the exception of winning a royal rumble or the newly introduced MITB ladder match. It wouldn't have really 'elevated' his career because he was already at his all time peak in 2006
The streak never should've ended. And it baffles me how people used to say it should've been Cena to end it. What sense would that have made? Lesnar and Taker had multiple feuds over the years. Kane, Triple H, and Shawn Michaels had several feuds with Taker over the years. Even Vince and Shane McMahon had several feuds with Taker. How many feuds did Cena and Taker have? Fucking 1, way back in 2003. *Update* R.I.P to Bray. Brock definitely didn't need it. Personally I still think it should have been Kane even though he didn't need it either. At that time, it should have been Bray, no offense to Roman but, he didn't deserve it then.
If the shield broke up and the streak was still going … roman beating the streak then turning heel the following night … might’ve been the ideal way for the streak to end (personally don’t think it should’ve ended tho)
Taker is a great guy that he will always try to do the best for the brand but honestly it either should never have been broken or only one loss to a certified legend like Cena, Edge etc.
The streak wouldn't be as significant if it ended in 2005... Furthermore, the WM25 match with HBK wouldn't have happened. Maybe Taker still would've wrestled Shawn, but if you remove the streak from the context, that match wouldn't be held in high regards as it currently is
Roman back then would been crucified moreso than he had been at that time, and they still wouldnt make him a heel. They'd still try and force the fans to cheer him. Roman now? 100%. He's a badass, he's over as the biggest heel in the company, and the story of him being undefeated vs the streak is an obvious one. But back then it wouldn't do anything for him except add to his go away heat.
Exactly what I was thinking. That boring, awkward, suffering succotash "babyface" Roman beating the streak would have been 100x worse than Brock beating it but this evil Roman who actually puts on a good show, yeah, that's a little more acceptable.
I lover Underwear as much as the next guy. But Ramon Noodles beating him during WeenieHut Juniors woulda made it impossible for anyone to take him seriously and not see everything as a massive push. Edit: what I'm saying is I disagree with Undy's opinion here.
Tbh out of all the ppl that the undertakers put over there's only been 5 or 6 ppl who hes lost to that ive actually been convinced by. Triple H, Batista , Kane, Big show, Brock lesnar and kurt angle. And so there's no one else who i woulda thought could break it and not recieve more hate than praise.
Roman would’ve made the better choice. If he broke the streak and immediately became the tribal chief. That would’ve made more sense of him being as dominant as he was during the tribal chief run.
Roman and Bray Wyatt were perfect choices to end the streak. Roman is... pretty self-explanitory, but Bray Wyatt ending the streak would've been an incredible passing of the torch moment from one supernatural character to another, and would've been incredibly special... but, alas, we live in an inferior timeline, where Brock broke the streak instead... 😭💀💀
New era = Roman Reigns Old era = Kane I would even give Triple H a honorary mention BUT he was involved in too many jobber matches and belt turns that by the time WrestleMania hit fans would have had Triple H fatigue but he does put on some good matches and he was in that heavy roster that constantly fought each other. Rock doesn't make sense, Austin either (unless its the Ministry beef), Triple H is kinda a "legend killer" aka "Hunter" i.e. "The Game". Kane would be the obvious choice for story since that's his brother and equal but fans also getting Kane fatigue and he wasn't as menacing anymore after his many transformations. Brock was a safe pick, not a bad guy too lose too since he's beast but was a sloppy performance. The BEST outcome was if Sting wrestled Taker and won, but Vince won't allow his dark prince to be beaten by the WCW goth. Sting was the better of the dark characters, he had way more personality with his Crow gimmick.
Given the scenario of WrestleMania 30 , when WWE universe was rallying behind Daniel bryan and the yes movement , and the only thing matter was Daniel completing his triumphant story that night , the twist of ending the streak was a moment no one saw coming . And the decision was the right one .
Imagine if Roman killing the Streak would've been the immediate catalyst for his heel turn and the debut of his Tribal Chief gimmick. He would've been the biggest thing in wrestling by a country mile. 10 times as big as he is today.
With the legend of the undertaker, the streak should’ve never been broken. With someone so dedicated to the company with the story line of a legend why ruin something that would hallmark history in the industry.
If they did things right, they should've made Sting break the streak or at least set up a dream match against him and Taker. Us millennials from the 90's got robbed of seeing that match come into fruition.
I’m with you. But also in opinion, Not that it really matters anymore because the streak is past been broken. But still just to say in my opinion, I think it should’ve been eather Sting or Goldberg. Maybe Sting at Wrestlemania 31 or Goldberg at Wrestemania 35.
I'd rather Brock break it than the Roman we had back then. Ofc I'd rather have had neither of them break it and it be someone who A) was loved & B) needed that lil extra push. People kinda in the Rusev or Cesaro position (no, I'm not saying them, just people around that area 🤷🏼♂️)
In my opinion it makes sense for it to eventually end. If you look at the roster at the time it should’ve been Wyatt or have Roman beat him and have Roman turn heel
Taker is just the perfect company man for ending the streak he very easily could’ve said no Al together but he did it to elevate the next superstar. Personally bray would’ve been perfect bc their characters fit in the semi same group and it would’ve been cool to see bray champion rn but at the same point if roman would’ve ended the streak it would’ve been one hell of a match right before the beginning to his run since he’s been champion
I still think Bray should have won their Wrestlemania match during his "New Face of Fear" gimmick. I get that meant the Undertaker would have to drop 2 Mania matches in a row but come on....its the Undertaker, hed recover. A Bray win would have definitely elevated him much sooner
The streak should have never been broken at all. With hindsight now, we can see both Brock and Roman didn't really benefited with the win(Brock is already over and no one will view Brock differently even if he lost and as for Roman, well it took him until the Tribal Chief/God Mode gimmick for him to be a "top guy", which took 1-2 years after he broke the streak which made it pointless especially since they rarely acknowledge it or make it a huge deal. What they could have done is make "someone"(Roman or someone else IDK), pin Taker at Wrestlemania but not win the match by having a Iron Man/Best 2 out of 3 match. Taker would win the match but "someone" could score a point by pining Taker at Mania, which they technically could say they "beaten" Taker at Mania. They could the same finish they did at WM 27 with Triple H where Taker couldn't walk out on his own but the opponent could. That is a win win for both guy, Taker keeps the streak and that "someone" can proclaim that they pin taker at Wrestlemania which no has done before.
brock wasnt the person to shoulda done it but it was the most unexpected moment too which i dont mind its hard to plan who to break taker streak, regardless who broke that it would be the same conversation forever
Bray hits different now…but also imagining if Roman started the tribal chief character after beating the streak the amount of legit heat would’ve been nuclear
I think WWE officials were worried about Brock Lesnar losing his unstoppable credibility if he lost a second consecutive time at Wrestlemania since his return. If Brock had defeated Triple H at Wrestlemania 29 maybe they would have been more willing to let him lose the next year and give the streak to another young talent. However Triple H would also have earned three consecutive losses at Wrestlemania.
The amount he was booed Raw after WM33 when he did beat Taker, would have been nothing compared to if he actually broke the Streak. Not to mention after Royal Rumble 2015 and after WM32. I'll acknowledge him when he leaves
Taker : Roman or Wyatt ,these two are my choice. Present people : Yeah tribal chief ✨worth it .. Naah Roman would have got buried back then , he was called to be big dawg a gimmick everyone hated ,man got booed so bad even Rock couldn't help him. Wyatt? Yeah wyatt is the perfect choice for the torch to be passed on to but ...People started liking Wyatt and all of a sudden the unexpected happened . The truth is... No one can come close to Taker and ending the streak is not a easy job ,it doesnt give you the push but it gives you a cross that needs to be carried everywhere one goes. Imo Taker should have retired without ending the streak ... Taker is no bigger than wrestling but Understaker is definitely bigger than WrestleMania,the man was able to pull three generation with that streak and it was the highlight of WrestleMania no title match could even come close to it. Imo with all due respect...I feel HBK or Kane should have ended the carrer ,cause ending the streak was never meant for push of any wrestler in the audience pov , however thats how the WWE team saw it but the truth is People saw the streak as a legacy ,something legendary .So inorder to break something legendary like the streak , the audience wanted a legend who carries the same status as Taker and not someone who gets to have a push or get the torch passed onto. So either a legend should have ended it or it should have never been broken.

That's the point, he wanted it to end. Undertaker had enough pull backstage that Vince would've went with any idea he wanted, and that's why it was broken
That was actually the worst decision in WWE history
roman reigns beating him wouldn't have been better, Edge shoulld have
If tribal chief character is one to be broke the streak I will satisfied then big dog or brock
Blame Vince McMan For That Decision He Didn’t Want Brock To Leave The Company 🤔🤦🏾♂️🙅🏾♂️😠🤮🤟🏾🙌🏾💯

I get it, Taker has opinion but with all due respect that streak shuda never have ended. And Taker shuda hung it up undefeated
Literally every wrestler who's been taught the very foundation of wrestling thought that the Streak was always gonna end. That's not Taker's opinion alone.

If u look up the interview he had about it , he said he didn’t want to end it but Vince made him
Vince never appreciated what he had in Taker

R.I.P Bray Wyatt❤
No one should have ended it, the streak was legendary, definitely one of the worst decisions in wrestling history
RIP Windham Rotunda aka Bray Wyatt
They shouldn't have broken the streak at all, but no one will ever equal 21-0.
They definitely should have, because it was the biggest rub ever built up in the history of professional wrestling. It would have been an incredible waste, a waste of undertaker's entire career, to not use the breaking of the streak like that. It would have all been for nothing, if they didn't break the streak. It would have been saying that Undertaker's whole career never really meant anything, and that all the blood sweat and tears he put in over 3 decades wasn't important or meaningful.
Never in the entire history of professional wrestling worldwide, had been built up as big as Taker's streak. They HAD to use it, otherwise what would have been the point of it all?
Not using it would be like climbing up almost the entirety of mount everest, but then when you're just a couple of yards below the peak of the mountain, you decide to end your climb there and turn back, so that you never actually climb to the top of mount everest but just 99.99% of it. Why wouldn't you just climb up those extra few yards to get to the very top of the mountain? If you actually turned back then, then it would have meant all the incredibly strenuous effort you put in over the days and weeks of being there climbing would have been for nothing. No, nobody would ever climb up it but then turn around only a few yards from the peak.
And similarly, breaking undertaker's streak was the biggest deal in the history of wrestling. They'd put in decades of very hard work to build it up, and you're just gonna not use it right at the end when you could give someone the biggest rub the business has ever seen? Then what was the point of doing the streak in the first place!?
I don't think Brock was the best decision for who to end the streak, but I think it's worked out very well. Since he broke the streak he's remained as the final boss of WWE, the guy everyone has to beat to reach the top of the roster. WWE have been able to use Brock time and time and time again to lose to the next big thing in the company, the next top guy, and so despite Brock losing a fair amount, he still remains very credible as an undefeatable-seeming beast of a man. They've got a whole decade of use of Brock as the ultimate jobber ever. And it's because he broke the streak, and so he has permanent credibility forever more, despite how often he loses. So in that sense, WWE got an incredible amount of good, positive things, from having Brock break the streak. So even though I would have picked someone else to break the streak, personally, I think WWE have definitely made great use of Brock being the one, they've really got their money's worth from it, and so it's completely justified in that sense.
@@duffman18 Nah, the streak should have remained unbroken.
@@duffman18No.
Well if they write it in someone will lol
So humble person you are sir
Of the two it should have been Bray. The narrative at the time was that Bray was the ‘new’ Undertaker and it would have cemented it. Roman was already destined for his top spot. Bray made it part of his character that he was overlooked, it’s what his second match at mania with Cena was about. Had he been the guy to break the streak it would have shot him to the moon instead of being misused for so long.
Undertaker is such a professional man much respect 🫡
Honestly. And hear me out. It should have been Kane.
When you think of the Brothers of Destruction you think of Taker and Kane.
I think if Kane broke the streak it would have been more satisfying due to their history, and also would have elevated kanes legacy that much more.
Better script imo is,
Someone who need the win (like Mark said like Wyatt or Reigns), THEN somehow got helped by Kane to win.
This way, the winner will receive hate yet a 'higher status'. From here the rest of the story can be anything. Like, give him a redemption arc or sum and eventually fight Kane perhaps?
Idk, although they have history as BOD I don't Kane is the right guy to ended it.
They killed Kane well before that
@NamelessMist kane needed some more development
Kane ending the streak in one of the 2 matches he had with Taker would not have been as big. The streak was still very young by the 2nd time they faced off at mania. The first match Taker was 6-0 going into it and the streak wasn’t even talked about at that point in time. the second match Taker was 11-0 going into it. So no it would not have been as big of a deal as when Brock ended the 21-0 streak. Kane was already finished and buried at that point of his career. Bray Wyatt was still young(Only 25)and being booked horribly. If he had beaten Taker in Brocks place, he would’ve became bigger then he was and won more championships and main evented more Wrestlemanias.
they fucking hate Kane, so annoying 1997 Kane wipes the entire roster today
RIP Bray
Should've given Taker the streak. He Should've gone undefeated.
Undertaker retiring with the streak in tact, would've been the greatest WWE & Wrestlemania feat of all time
They should've let Undertaker pick the guy who beat the streak.
Here after, Bray Wyatt's death. He really should've been the one😢
RIP bray wyatt
It would have been perfect for storyline purposes if Taker faced Bray Wyatt and beat him, like he did, but Bray later returned as The Fiend and The Fiend ended the streak.
100%
True
Bray Wyatt should have been the one, he has the best character work out of anyone who has ever been in the WWE, if they gave that man free leash, we would have a new unbeatable fenom.
Rest in peace bray wyatt
I respect this
I can agree with Taker’s suggestions (Wyatt especially), but WWE really never should’ve ended it. If he had hung it up undefeated it would’ve been a perfect legacy close.
Under taker still undefeated in my eyes lol
He's not wrong. Brock was a top guy who got a rub he didn't need so could what? Go to SummerSlam and destroy Cena? Which he could have believably done anyway without this extra feather in his cap. It's like putting over Superman on his way to defeating Lex Luthor for the 185th time.
It def helped enhance Brock’s momentum to summerslam against cena but he def didn’t need the win
Brock carried the company for the next 10 years after it happened. Your not buying ppvs or subscription to network without brock being on it. Name on other legit star
@andrewvazquez1936 brock stayed with the company for the next 10 years! You claim all this part time shit, dude, if you watch boxing you get floyd Mayweather twice a year. Brock ruled wwe from the day he came back after wm 28. Yes he broke the streak. But who at that time did you want to beat it that you would pay money to see today??? Who is worth paying money to see today? Roman is like a joke champion that is just getting pushed to keep the company relevant. We know wwe is global, but there is, and hasn't been a legit global superstar to keep this company going since cena is the 2010s, or brock in the 2020s. Yes at the time I disagree with brock breaking the streak. But he stuck around for 10 years and used it. Finn, shinsuke, aj styles, definitely not kevin owns are getting money pouring in for ppv or wwe network. Let's just be honest with ourselves, brock made a decision to stay with the company and he was the biggest name the company could have and have made them more money then anyone other flipper they could offer. It's not cirus Olay, it's wrestling, gotta have a true badass.
Brock kept his word and I guarantee you ain't buying the next bs ppv unless a name like brock is on it.
@andrewvazquez1936 there are no megastar today
@andrewvazquez1936 so who should've broken the streak?
The first mistake wwe made is breaking taker streak
Not breaking the streak would have been the stupidest most retarded decision in the history of professional wrestling. Only an idiot or a idiot child would think they shouldn't have broken it. They definitely should have broken the streak, because it was the biggest rub ever built up in the history of professional wrestling. It would have been an incredible waste, a waste of undertaker's entire career, to not use the breaking of the streak like that. It would have all been for nothing, if they didn't break the streak.

@@duffman18not to mention, Undertaker himself was all for it being broken
@@duffman18Lol do you work for them. Or are you Mr. Mcman.
"It should've been Bray" - NSYNC's new classic changed from "It's gonna be me."
The streak should’ve never ended.
I’d still think Kurt Angle should have ended the streak back in 2006
This would have been the case if it weren’t for Eddie Guerrero’s tragic passing
I strongly disagree🤔
By the year of 2006, Kurt had accomplished everything you could possibly think of in the company.
With the exception of winning a royal rumble or the newly introduced MITB ladder match.
It wouldn't have really 'elevated' his career because he was already at his all time peak in 2006
Mark was a true professional
One of the worst mistakes Vince has ever made. Interesting he mentions Bray, there is a lot of respect for Bray as we saw at RAW
It should have been Kane with both embracing and retiring that night
The streak never should've ended. And it baffles me how people used to say it should've been Cena to end it. What sense would that have made? Lesnar and Taker had multiple feuds over the years. Kane, Triple H, and Shawn Michaels had several feuds with Taker over the years. Even Vince and Shane McMahon had several feuds with Taker. How many feuds did Cena and Taker have? Fucking 1, way back in 2003.
*Update* R.I.P to Bray. Brock definitely didn't need it. Personally I still think it should have been Kane even though he didn't need it either. At that time, it should have been Bray, no offense to Roman but, he didn't deserve it then.
If the shield broke up and the streak was still going … roman beating the streak then turning heel the following night … might’ve been the ideal way for the streak to end (personally don’t think it should’ve ended tho)
Taker is a great guy that he will always try to do the best for the brand but honestly it either should never have been broken or only one loss to a certified legend like Cena, Edge etc.
Hello my favorite hero 😀😊 I love Undertaker vs Brock Lesnar all matches thank you taker sir ❤
Nobody should of to be fair I think Taker is being modest here, deep down that should of been kept safe and unbroken
It didn't need to be broken. Nobody has become bigger than the streak amongst wrestling fans.
I heard he wanted Randy to do it back in the Legend Killer days.
That would have been insane
The streak wouldn't be as significant if it ended in 2005...
Furthermore, the WM25 match with HBK wouldn't have happened.
Maybe Taker still would've wrestled Shawn, but if you remove the streak from the context, that match wouldn't be held in high regards as it currently is
Bray wyatt is the wise decision and best for make dark character hype 😢🔥
The Fiend ending the streak and retiring Taker would’ve been a crazy passing the torch moment.
Roman back then would been crucified moreso than he had been at that time, and they still wouldnt make him a heel. They'd still try and force the fans to cheer him. Roman now? 100%. He's a badass, he's over as the biggest heel in the company, and the story of him being undefeated vs the streak is an obvious one. But back then it wouldn't do anything for him except add to his go away heat.
Exactly what I was thinking. That boring, awkward, suffering succotash "babyface" Roman beating the streak would have been 100x worse than Brock beating it but this evil Roman who actually puts on a good show, yeah, that's a little more acceptable.
I wish I meet you ❤️ undertaker
I lover Underwear as much as the next guy.
But Ramon Noodles beating him during WeenieHut Juniors woulda made it impossible for anyone to take him seriously and not see everything as a massive push.
Edit: what I'm saying is I disagree with Undy's opinion here.
I'd say kane deserved it the most .
Your 100% right undertaker
Undertaker predicted Roman’s success this is why he’s the best wrestler period
Tbh out of all the ppl that the undertakers put over there's only been 5 or 6 ppl who hes lost to that ive actually been convinced by. Triple H, Batista , Kane, Big show, Brock lesnar and kurt angle. And so there's no one else who i woulda thought could break it and not recieve more hate than praise.
Roman would’ve made the better choice. If he broke the streak and immediately became the tribal chief. That would’ve made more sense of him being as dominant as he was during the tribal chief run.
Roman and Bray Wyatt were perfect choices to end the streak. Roman is... pretty self-explanitory, but Bray Wyatt ending the streak would've been an incredible passing of the torch moment from one supernatural character to another, and would've been incredibly special... but, alas, we live in an inferior timeline, where Brock broke the streak instead... 😭💀💀
Hey legend undertaker
New era = Roman Reigns
Old era = Kane
I would even give Triple H a honorary mention BUT he was involved in too many jobber matches and belt turns that by the time WrestleMania hit fans would have had Triple H fatigue but he does put on some good matches and he was in that heavy roster that constantly fought each other.
Rock doesn't make sense, Austin either (unless its the Ministry beef), Triple H is kinda a "legend killer" aka "Hunter" i.e. "The Game".
Kane would be the obvious choice for story since that's his brother and equal but fans also getting Kane fatigue and he wasn't as menacing anymore after his many transformations.
Brock was a safe pick, not a bad guy too lose too since he's beast but was a sloppy performance.
The BEST outcome was if Sting wrestled Taker and won, but Vince won't allow his dark prince to be beaten by the WCW goth.
Sting was the better of the dark characters, he had way more personality with his Crow gimmick.
My point exactly! The streak ending wasn't the problem, but Lesnar totally wasn't the right man to do it.
I'll say it EVERYTIME , it should've been Kane, and it should've been Taker's last wm...... A perfect ending to the storyline.
Love that he’s only upset that the opportunity to put someone over was wasted.
Given the scenario of WrestleMania 30 , when WWE universe was rallying behind Daniel bryan and the yes movement , and the only thing matter was Daniel completing his triumphant story that night , the twist of ending the streak was a moment no one saw coming . And the decision was the right one .
The Streak should have never ended. Period.
Rest in power Bray wyatt/the fiend/windham we will never forget you heavens gate LET HiM iN
In my opinion it should have been Shawn Michaels in one of those matches they had at wrestlemania in 09’-10’
Imagine if Roman killing the Streak would've been the immediate catalyst for his heel turn and the debut of his Tribal Chief gimmick. He would've been the biggest thing in wrestling by a country mile. 10 times as big as he is today.
Undertaker Your voice has really changed. 😂😂😂😂😂
Coming back to watch this hits different now that Bray is no longer with us.
I think Kane tbh
But Kane is his storyline brother though, it couldn't be Kane.
I’ve heard multiple superstars saying Roman it’s like they saw something that the fans didn’t
With the legend of the undertaker, the streak should’ve never been broken. With someone so dedicated to the company with the story line of a legend why ruin something that would hallmark history in the industry.
If they did things right, they should've made Sting break the streak or at least set up a dream match against him and Taker. Us millennials from the 90's got robbed of seeing that match come into fruition.
I’m with you. But also in opinion, Not that it really matters anymore because the streak is past been broken. But still just to say in my opinion, I think it should’ve been eather Sting or Goldberg. Maybe Sting at Wrestlemania 31 or Goldberg at Wrestemania 35.
Brock too talented is what hes trying to say
"Bray Wyatt, he's going to go to that next level"
*Vince McMahon music hits*
I'd rather Brock break it than the Roman we had back then. Ofc I'd rather have had neither of them break it and it be someone who A) was loved & B) needed that lil extra push. People kinda in the Rusev or Cesaro position (no, I'm not saying them, just people around that area 🤷🏼♂️)
Definitely bray RIP😭
I don’t care what anyone (including the Deadman) thinks.
The streak should have never ended! Period!
Would love if it was actually Bray Wyatt. The next one to maintain the fear factor in WWE, he needed it
In all honesty John Cena in his prime with all the hype should have been the guy to do it. If not go undefeated
Imagine the shit Roman would talk. “Man I’ve been holding this belt for 4 years and ended the undertaker. Shawn Michaels had 2 tries and still failed”
whatever
but you are a legend.
Imo bray, he was set to become the next "undertaker" and had he beaten the streak that would've cemented it.
Bray shouldve done it!
In my opinion it makes sense for it to eventually end. If you look at the roster at the time it should’ve been Wyatt or have Roman beat him and have Roman turn heel
it needed to be a Heel cause the heat was always gonna be crazy
I wouldn't have minded if it was CM Punk.
Taker is just the perfect company man for ending the streak he very easily could’ve said no Al together but he did it to elevate the next superstar. Personally bray would’ve been perfect bc their characters fit in the semi same group and it would’ve been cool to see bray champion rn but at the same point if roman would’ve ended the streak it would’ve been one hell of a match right before the beginning to his run since he’s been champion
I still think Bray should have won their Wrestlemania match during his "New Face of Fear" gimmick. I get that meant the Undertaker would have to drop 2 Mania matches in a row but come on....its the Undertaker, hed recover. A Bray win would have definitely elevated him much sooner
He didn't need it but he was the only one with the pedigree and physical prowess to believably beat him
Bray ending the streak would’ve been the perfect way for Mark to pass on the torch to him.
The streak should have never been broken at all. With hindsight now, we can see both Brock and Roman didn't really benefited with the win(Brock is already over and no one will view Brock differently even if he lost and as for Roman, well it took him until the Tribal Chief/God Mode gimmick for him to be a "top guy", which took 1-2 years after he broke the streak which made it pointless especially since they rarely acknowledge it or make it a huge deal.
What they could have done is make "someone"(Roman or someone else IDK), pin Taker at Wrestlemania but not win the match by having a Iron Man/Best 2 out of 3 match. Taker would win the match but "someone" could score a point by pining Taker at Mania, which they technically could say they "beaten" Taker at Mania. They could the same finish they did at WM 27 with Triple H where Taker couldn't walk out on his own but the opponent could. That is a win win for both guy, Taker keeps the streak and that "someone" can proclaim that they pin taker at Wrestlemania which no has done before.
brock wasnt the person to shoulda done it but it was the most unexpected moment too which i dont mind its hard to plan who to break taker streak, regardless who broke that it would be the same conversation forever
If Roman beat Taker then his years long title reign lol would have actually made more sense.
I said the same thing bro .. RIP bray
Bray hits different now…but also imagining if Roman started the tribal chief character after beating the streak the amount of legit heat would’ve been nuclear
Streak should have been immortalized and never ended. But thank god it wasn’t Bray or Roman to end the streak.
I think WWE officials were worried about Brock Lesnar losing his unstoppable credibility if he lost a second consecutive time at Wrestlemania since his return.
If Brock had defeated Triple H at Wrestlemania 29 maybe they would have been more willing to let him lose the next year and give the streak to another young talent.
However Triple H would also have earned three consecutive losses at Wrestlemania.
The amount he was booed Raw after WM33 when he did beat Taker, would have been nothing compared to if he actually broke the Streak. Not to mention after Royal Rumble 2015 and after WM32. I'll acknowledge him when he leaves
I feel like 2015-2017 was lets boo and hate Roman Reigns as much as we can era in WWE
Taker : Roman or Wyatt ,these two are my choice.
Present people : Yeah tribal chief ✨worth it ..
Naah Roman would have got buried back then , he was called to be big dawg a gimmick everyone hated ,man got booed so bad even Rock couldn't help him.
Wyatt? Yeah wyatt is the perfect choice for the torch to be passed on to but ...People started liking Wyatt and all of a sudden the unexpected happened .
The truth is... No one can come close to Taker and ending the streak is not a easy job ,it doesnt give you the push but it gives you a cross that needs to be carried everywhere one goes.
Imo Taker should have retired without ending the streak ...
Taker is no bigger than wrestling but Understaker is definitely bigger than WrestleMania,the man was able to pull three generation with that streak and it was the highlight of WrestleMania no title match could even come close to it.
Imo with all due respect...I feel HBK or Kane should have ended the carrer ,cause ending the streak was never meant for push of any wrestler in the audience pov , however thats how the WWE team saw it but the truth is People saw the streak as a legacy ,something legendary .So inorder to break something legendary like the streak , the audience wanted a legend who carries the same status as Taker and not someone who gets to have a push or get the torch passed onto.
So either a legend should have ended it or it should have never been broken.
