Where can we see the full episode we need it!!! We wants it!!
@@bobbym50 nah they’re just going to stretch it out for half a decade of content
@@nickgwyn1225 I can believe it
Can we see the full thing anywhere? It's from 2016 and we probably didn't watch half of it yet...
@@pescadinha23 not that I have found yet..
Love Paul. he is one of the most gifted talkers in the history of the sport.
And bullshitters
And he's in one the greatest sports movies of all time, Rollerball
@@CAPvsThor Yeah but he sells it very well
Yeah but he sucks as an owner of Wrestling company. Just look at what happened to ECW late 90s.
Even brock new that him and punk where gold in the ring together, and for brock to even go into the office with paul ta ask vince to keep the feud going means brock liked punk
Good job he didn't though. Punk left in the January so we'd never have got Punk Lesnar
@@allstarrider Maybe but Punk was promised WM main event and never got it. That's mostly why he left
@@parkender1833 that's the only reason he left and if Brock vs punk would've happened there was a chance of him to be in main event of WrestleMania .
Yes their match at summer slam was gold, would’ve been great to see more
@@jacobunofficial1146 It was not getting the WM main event, his overall booking and the staph infection.
Paul Heyman is better than the entire Raw & Smackdown creative combined
So you mean Vince then?
that isn’t very hard
@@kierendavidson3276 they write for an audience of once
Why isn’t he still in a job then? Hmm
That's really not hard to do
I love Paul Heyman impersonating Vince😂
Jajaja, a mí también me recomendó ésto TH-cam.
@@jemma2607 no sigues inside the ropes?
Big Show did a better Vince McMahon impression
It’s sooo good😂
hola guapito
-And what about Punk Vince?
-Oh don't worry about him he will face one of our top athletes Triple H nothing can go wrong about that right?
-Yes ...
And he will also put the young prospect hhh over
@@pcpc9710 Such a sweetheart that Punk veteran to put that hot talent over
For people who don’t think brock likes wrestling this clip proves it he definitely does and he definitely gets it
The fact it is Brock that actually came up with "I'm the 1 in 21-1" says that he sure knows what can make money
Not buying it. I bet Brock didn't even know how many wins Taker had at WrestleMania. He probably said, I'm the one who's gonna beat him and that's it.
"They should have never ended the streak" - Jim Cornette
Or anyone ever.
One of the dumbest moves wwe has done.. something special and rare that they could of kept using to have undertaker make special appearances at wrestlemania not fighting but doing something. I dont know maybe they didnt want him to overshadow wrestlemania in the future and were worried hed hold more value.. but again maybe they were just stupid
If WWE stuck with End of an Era back in 2012, it would have been the most perfect ending to Taker's career, and his streak would have been intact.
That one outcome destroyed something that will never happen again.
A 20-year company loyalist, occult following like no other, a performer that never broke character for more than 20 years,
And they f****** flushed it all for an a****** who doesn't even like wrestling.
I lost all respect for an interest in WWE when I saw that.
And I don't think I'm the only person that made that decision
True
I've watched the 2nd broken skulls session of the undertaker with stone cold, on wwe network, and he finally admitted that he was not ready to break the streak. He believed that brock does not need to break the streak to boost his career, and undertaker should keep the streak safe and alive, for any future star, and he mentioned roman reigns, as a candidate to break the streak. And undertaker clearly says in the interview that, if no-one emerges as the worthy opponent in the future to break the streak, then undertaker would have liked to keep the streak undefeated and retire with that. This was undertaker himself, finally opening up about the topic. But in the end, it was vince, who believed that it was the right time to break the streak, so he decided to book the finish. He even shared the story, when vince himself came to his dressing to tell him about the finish of the match, and undertaker confirmed that this was not usual of vince to come to the dressing room himself, usually he calls the wrestlers in his room, and tell them the finish, but as this was a big career decision, for the undertaker, vince himself came to him with the bad news. And undertaker said " When I SAW THAT VINCE IS COMING TO MY DRESSING ROOM, TO DISCUSS THE FINISH, I KNEW THEN AND THERE THAT THE STREAK IS OVER, HE DECIDED TO BREAK IT.
And if you are thinking why undertaker did not refuse..? The answer is, he is so much loyal and devoted to vince, that he could not said no. He always believed in giving back to the business, ahead of his own personal accomplishments.
So, paul heyman is just playing ball, with everyone, the truth is, that it was vince's decision, and undertaker agreed out of his 25-30 years old loyalty.
It was after watching that broken skulls session, I realised that undertaker was also not ready for that.
And a little unpopular opinion here but I think, that the whole undertaker getting concussed during the match and not remembering anything from that night and immediately going to the hospital angle was a work. Just to legitimize the breaking of the streak. Just think about it, he went home the next day. It is the most humiliating night of his life, to see a 21 year old organically created streak die in from of him, why would he describe that terrible feeling again and again to everyone in the media, that is why to spare him that, they worked the concussion angle, and now undertaker is let off from that question because "he was concussed and did not remember anything"
Just give a thought to it, just a theory from all the interviews.
Tq🙏
Spot on brother 💯 , well explained for everyone 👏🏾
Bro start making videos, you're good at narration
I disagree on that last part but rest of it is ok.
Wow I didn't know that thank you 🙏 you have explain it well
Can't believe a word in these, as Heyman is always working
Gotta love it
When Brock got put over by The Undertaker WWE. Started its down fall Taker should have never been beat at mania
Amen. They lost millions of customers when that happened. And we've never forgiven them.
Now we watch WCW matches on TH-cam for free.
It wasn't breaking the streak that pissed me off. It's what was (or wasn't if you want to be technical about it) done in the aftermath.
@@dickmarx1298 then the ratings went up after Summerslam 2014...so doesn't matter
I agree. There was only two times I would have been okay with Taker losing at Wrestlemania. The first was against Randy Orton. I truly believed Orton had a chance and at that time in his career, it would have been amazing. The second is Edge because he too has never been pinned or submitted at Wrestlemania meaning at the time, he was 6-0. I don't mind one streak ending to another.
WWE was dying long before the Streak was broken and no, the Streak ending didn't cost them millions of viewers. The rest of their shitty creative did that over the course of the following years.
Heyman is like Prichard, I can’t ever tell when he’s working or not, and I don’t care. Always entertaining.
I wanna see these in full. Paul has a gift in storytelling
Love the fact that Paul & brock wanted to extend the brock v punk to mania but if brock was gonna fight taker he was gonna conquer that fucking streak 😂
Could listen to Heyman work me all day.
That's pretty... sad... actually... if this Is true... wasn't about what was best.. was to feed an ego
The last time I really cared about wrestling was probably in the early 90s. So I know nothing of Mr. Heyman from his ECW days, or his WWF days at all. But listening to him in these spots, he is a master at his craft, a master storyteller.
So you miss the greatest era in wrestling history? The attitude era?
Punk would need all the infinity stones to have a real chance against Brock.
He had him beat at Summerslam but Heyman broke up the pin.
He was pretty damn close
@@PhillyWild302 it's scripted boy
@@shashwat3653 Fuck me, really?! And is the sky blue too?!
Some might he'd have to be. . . the best in the world
Is this whole thing available anywhere?
I could listen to Paul Heyman talking about wrestling for hours!!!!
I'll always think it was the wrong call. The streak can never be duplicated. And should have been left unbeaten when they didn't have a candidate to end it.
That I agree with. It's not that it was broken, at least not for me. It was broken for no reason, other than shock value. It didn't help Lesnar, bc he didn't need the help...he was already over & a top guy. It just seemed forced, rushed & not well thought out. Taker said plans kept changing, he was supposed to go over, then Vince just changed his mind right before WM.
I have always thought that one day somebody was going to conquer it. I just wish it led to the last Taker match. If Brock had to beat the Streak, Taker should have either never come back again or retired in the rematch and that's it.
Yes you are right there was no candidate ready to break streak at that time brock was already beast main eventer, but still Brock needed something to establish him as top dog ... So i think right way would've been brock should beat the crap out of undertaker, something he did with randy in SummerSlam (brock would get disqualify) from match ... Than rematch at SummerSlam where he would beat undertaker clean .....
If Rob can dam returns for another 20 years I think we will have another streak
HELL… I MADE PEACE WITH IT! LOL! I can live with Brock being THE ONE! But I can’t get over Roman beating Taker too!
But that is the point WHY Lesnar ended it.
Fans cried for an uo and comer to become a star.
Roman Reigns fitted that, but look at that reaction that happened.
Now imagine if Reigns never was able to achieve and be what he is now?
With Lesnar, it was a sure thing, and easy to be believable.
Giving it to someone that is young and up coming with potential...imagone they ending the streak but moving forward they shit the bed and don't actually become the superstar that they needed to be to make that win over Taker mean something.
@@Amzingred however the idea of a prime Taker vs Tribal Chief Reigns with a much more focused story and reigns beating the streak is mouth watering.
@@rajarshisantra8203 yea, but taker was not in his prime. And nothing was going to at that moment in time get taker to be in the shape needed to pull off such a match. And no way was taker and Reigns goin to go head to head at wm 30 when the shield was still red hot over as an amazing stable.
Plus, who knows how the match between Lesnar and taker would have been if taker didn't suffer that concussion. Considering their summerslam match later on.
I was there at Summerslam my very first Summerslam in my hometown. The best ppv I went to so far.
I love the response at the end haha
The thing about Paul is Give him the answer and he can make up the question and make it make sense. That story could have been 100% bs or a 100% true. But the way Paul tells it makes it legendary. Now fans for 10 years will be arguing it.
No it couldn’t lol. Broke doesn’t get to decide whether he wins or loses. There are contracts that would inflect millions of dollars worth of fees on wrestlers when broken. Also, do you really think that taker would just sit there and accept losing if it wasn’t the plan lol. “Get real”
@@chrisredfield2801 I think he means this story of Brock in the bus
Paul Heyman The Legend
Heyman is so good, he can convince me that my dad is Val Venis and I’d believe him.
Most awfull desicion has ever been takin' by WWE til this day .. 💔
Ummmmmm Goldberg burying KO and The Fiend?
@@BranDon-lz3fy Well .. also that 😧
Well it became the most shocking and emotional (upset) moment in wwe history. It even made the news. It sucked but that decision made that wrestlemania unforgettable.
worst Decisions, Streak Ended , Billy Oldberg burying KO and The Fiend, Thanks Vince
If the Streak had to End...it should have been Ended by someone more respected and beloved ...(Goldberg , Sting , or The Rock )....not some polarizing part -timer like Brock Lesnar who does not respect the business or the fans...
2:08, 2:26 & 2:33 Paul Heyman's impressions of Vince McMahon are brilliant 😂😂😂
heyman's a good talker but even he can't get me to believe brock was that fussed about the outcome of the taker match. he just showed up and did what vince told him to
What I can remember is Undertaker's last great fight and feud was with Punk at Wrestlemania 29. That was a hell of a storyline and also a great fight to watch many more times. Wrestlemania 30 wasn’t bad, It was special actually for ended the streak. After that Taker lost his fighting shape. And never gave a great fight. They should've retired taker after the streak so that the value and the impact of the undertaker will remain forever.
Most importantly, I hate the fact that WWE, after Punk's title reign ended, never treated like he was the best for business of that time, they forgot he was the longest reiging WWE Champion. In the whole 2013 he got two great storyline that was with Taker and Lesnar. Even like Lesnar and Paul, Punk also wanted to have this feud at wrestlemania. Fans would have been so intrigued to see that happed. They can simply put Taker with Cena or Wyatt. And remain the streak with 22-0, and then retire that would have been a perfect view to end a legacy, a greatest career after Wrestlemania 30. All Punk wanted is to have a good storyline and good feud. But no, They gave shits to punk and that led him to leave WWE and it's been 7 years we never saw Punk wrestled.
Styles/Taker was amazing
@@CAPvsThor ohh yup man, I forgot to mention. Everything was good in that.
I liked the HIAC match between Undertaker and Brock from 2015. I think the HIAC match from 2002 No mercy was better, but the 2015 HIAC match was really good.
@@GABRIELA-ACEVEDO. yeap man. All I can remember, since brock returns, I almost like every of his match and rivalries, except his was against with Kofi Kingston. I just couldn’t even take that. His early young beast mood was hell.
@@sabbirahmed2096 that Punk vs Brock match from Summerslam is a perfect 10 in my book. When first watching Summerslam, i was surprised it wasn't the main event, but at end of the night i understood why it wasn't. The Wrestlemania match should've been a triple threat match, and Undertaker should've faced Y2J. The following year should've been Batista vs Brock, Cena vs Undertaker, and the main event similar to Vengeance 2001, first Punk vs HHH, then Orton vs Daniel Bryan, and in final match i would have Punk after beating HHH face Orton and Bryan because their match ended in a tie or both counted out, so main event Punk vs Orton vs Bryan with Bryan winning.
Isn’t there a video that says Brock refused to be the one that ended Undertaker’s streak?!?!
It's crazy how I could listen to Heyman talk for fuckin hours
Brock versus punk at wrestlemania 30 would’ve been epic. If anyone was to break the streak it should’ve been Wyatt. They really missed the boat on that one.
damn i thought this video is old it was uploaded like 30 minutes ago
It's from 2016 just a reupload
Brock didn’t say that . Brock probably just ate steak medium well
Dumbest comment ever. We all know Brock Lesnar eats meat so rare its still moving.
@@tomgrasso4818 Best comment ever.🔥💯
Best in the world ag interviews... holh moly Heyman can talk on the mic 😮
Why doesn’t Paul Heyman have a podcast that would be great!
Because everyone does a podcast now and Paul Heyman doesn’t do what everyone else does.
I don't have a problem with the fact that Brock Beat the Streak, the only problem that I have with that is that that match didn't look as great as it should have at match should have been a back-and-forth battle between Brock and Undertaker before Brock defeated taker but instead you had Undertaker get concussed within the first few minutes of the match and the match look like s***
Even the undertaker was like hey if Brock Lesnar can't beat the streak who the f*** can he literally said that to Vince McMahon
Damn punk vs Brock at mania woulda been awesome
Imagine if Punk stayed if the feud was extended
Paul Heyman should have gotten the best supporting actor trophy for his performance in Rollerball. Changed my mind.
Now we have Brock vs roman
if anyone remembers as said by taker he was supposed to continue the streak when all of sudden that same day Vince changed his mind. I have no doubt it was Heyman and lesnar had something to do with it. lesnar didnt need to break the streak to boost his career. the fact lesnar got to be the one to do it was complete bs. had they done this in lesnar's first run it would of made sense. this would of boosted his career
I don't think they were in Vince's ear. From what I've heard, Lesnar himself didn't want to end the streak. He even asked Vince to lose and Vince said no.
@@PlusUltraAdrian yet Heyman says it was lesnar who brought it up to heyman
@@toshihikoification Heyman is working the crowd.
@@PlusUltraAdrian maybe maybe not unless anyone actually knows them it's up in the air. so was calloway telling lies on the last ride documentary and broken skull session. he says that he was supposed to beat lesnar but Vince changed his mind
@@toshihikoification No, he was telling the truth. Vince also confirmed that it was his own call.
Love Brock & Heyman 💯
Paul Heyman is always on. 🤩
It has been done now but it's heart breaking moment for fans it's hard to watch that happened to Undertaker he is not himself anymore all fans don't want it to end this way for last match of his 30 years carrier he even admitted that he want John Cena to be the one to break it or he want to face Cena for his last match of his carrier and deep inside no one wanted to end it even Brock Lesnar was so embarrassed after he win you can see tears forming in his eyes. but it's still the greatest streak of all time...
Now that im older , im okay hearing the BTS 🥲
Been a wrestling fan since Takers debut in the Hulkamania era. To this day I have not heard a logical argument as to why the streak should have carried on forever
Because no one will ever be able to do that steak again.
@@adventurewithj4680 I do a nice steak. I use a homemade mix of herbs and spices and cook it in garlic buttered, then grilled briefly
CM PUNK should have won against taker the year before, it would have done MORE for CM PUNK than Brock Lesnar, Lesnar was already a legit megastar, CM PUNK could have been at Wrestlemania 29
I don't watch WWE anymore. I still can't get over it...
I honestly feel that when the day comes that Vince steps down Paul should be made CEO. He has experience and I’ve heard that the wrestlers like him.
Yes, his last experience as a CEO of a company went so well 🙃
Heyman is most likely lying his ass off but at least he's entertaining while telling it
It’s documented he didn’t wanna beat the streak so idk what he’s talking about lol
When are we able to view the full show?? Is it on patreon or what?
I’m a Paul Heyman Guy
If that REALLY was all the thought that was put into it, "Just because Brock wanted it", that's actually a really disappointing story.
What Brock wants Brock fucking gets... but no, this is a in charachter story
Heyman's always working lol It was Vince's decision.
He forgot the last part of the story. Lesnar walked into Vince's office and said, "I'm conquering the f***ing streak or ripping your head off you SOB," and Vince said "Ok ok whatever you want pal."
Again, where can we watch the full thing?
And the people are invested Taker was sick of the streak ten years ago
“The UNDERTAKKEERRRRRR” lmao
Love you Paul. Brock is one of the all time greats. But no, I'm not gojbg to get over it. Brock breaking the streak is one of the biggest mistakes in wrestling history. It's not like a lose sleep about it but yeah I'm gonna boo every time it's bringed up.
Still to this day Brock’s best matches since his return are :
Punk vs Brock
Styles vs Brock
Bryan vs Brock
Cena vs Lesnar at Extreme Rules 2012 was fantastic and one of Lesnar's best matches
@@paolocamirand4655 Yes but he should’ve gone over Cena because that was his first match back.
Triple threat against cena and rollins in royal rumble it’s one of the best triple threat matches of the last 10 years
@@Marcellus-ro4ko even thru a mid year John Cena was still the poster boy of the company And After his WrestleMania defeat to the rock they wanted Cena to look strong again
People booing it just means that a lot went right
That Brock lesnar vs CM punk feud should have been longer
The irony of brock vs punk... Punk returns to wrestling on AEW , That weekend Brock returned at summerslam. Wild
Took awhile to get over it but did heck the only people to have a better win/loss record are two football teams the 2007 Patriots going perfect until the Super Bowl and the Giants played spoiler. For Brock Lesner to break the streak before the Undertaker could officially retire is the same kind of equivalent to that record. Makes you wonder if Brock had that in the back of his mind when he was given his Wrestlemania assignment.
Paul Heyman is the effing man.
Listen Paul Heyman, I love you and appreciate everything you've done for WWE, but no, I will not get over the fact that Brock Lesnar broke the fucking streak. I refuse to get over the fact that the streak was broken. The streak was special and should never have been broken in the first place.
😂
Brock vs Punk would’ve been wild
"Get the fuck over it will you?"
Thanks for asking, Paul.
No.
Yk heyman’s full of shit when he says that lesnar shot on taker and forced the streak to break. But hey heyman is REALLY good at making people believe
He could've if he wanted lmao not really that much of a stretch
@@loganayers7872 Taker’s still 5 inches taller with a lot of muscle. Lesnar’s a mediocre mma fighter with a mediocre record.
@@loganayers7872 yeah he could have but he also would have been blacklisted from wwe if he did lol
@@JRMAV1 I know the Taker character is iconic, but anyone that thinks Lesnar couldn't handle Calaway in a shoot, is kidding themselves. Height doesn't matter all that much, when you're a freak like Brock.
I'm not sure on this. We've been told before that Brock never wanted to beat Taker and I highly doubt Brock knew what Takers streak number was before the match
Punk vs Brock should’ve also taken place in wm 30 that way Brock wouldn’t break the streak and hopefully punk wouldn’t have left.
Yep. Then Undertaker should have faced Lesnar somewhere down the line and won, of course.
@@jamesedleymusic or they could’ve faced each other at wm 29
@@itsport8829 Nah. That match with CM Punk was too good.
@@jamesedleymusic it was but if Brock took on taker at wm 29 then I would’ve had punk main event wm 29 and win the wwe title then hopefully that’ll be enough for him to stay a bit longer so him and taker can face each other in wm 32 inside a hell in a cell
Punk would have left anyway one match doesn't change your stand on your job.
So, Heyman and Punk were just buddies but Heyman and Brock are Beast friends?
He’s in the same situation now with Roman and Brock!
I love Heyman and i could listen to him for hours but to this day ending the streak was one of the worst decisions Vince ever made. In my opinion
Hey, Those people got a free In Character Performance from Paul Heyman from those boos. That is a win. 😂
It shouldn't have ended. At least they could have used someone who can wrestle instead of doing the same two moves.
Lesnar/Punk would've been a better WM match than Lesnar/Ambrose.
Just saying even Undertaker didn't want Brock Lesnar to defeat his undefeated streak because Brock already has a reputation and a legacy it should have went to somebody up and coming such as the person that beat him after Brock it should have went to Roman Reigns to end it it would have been the perfect start to a heel run
What's crazy is Brock vs Punk for custody of Heyman is exactly what's happening today with Roman and Brock
Its enjoyable to hear too many different stories around the streak, problem is its difficult to know which one is true..😅😆😂😂
I agree at the time believable people to have ended the streak would have been Brock but I’m of the belief that Taker should have retired undefeated at Mainia
I don't think there was a better MAN to break the undertaker's STREAK then brock lesnar
but it wasn't meant to be broken in the first place but im fine with that, brock is just great and a legend at this point.
Paul should be running WWE
No Paul im sorry, i will net get over it. With the streak died a little part of my childhood. Im still a butthurt fanboy. :(
and now they are doing it now brock vs roman
hbk or tripple H should have ended the streak if anyone was going to do it cause there was like a 5 year storyline to it as well.
The ones booing is the ones who got there feelings hurt when they realized Undertaker isnt a real tough guy like Brock is. I like seeing Brock hurt people cause if it came to a real fight in the wrestling ring all u can do is pray to god he doesnt kill u
And now the advocate is in a similar situation with Brock & Roman.
Ima keep it 100 if they didn’t go in the direction with undertaker we would’ve gotten punk vs lesnar
I F***ING KNEW Brock took something he was never supposed to have, and neither McMahon or Undertaker are unprofessional enough to come out and tell the world that Lesnar went off script and the only way McMahon could have controlled it would have been to "Montreal" WrestleMania ...
Fun to listen to, but I'm pretty Brock does not think that and this is Heyman in character and Brock only agreed to it upon both Vince and Taker agreeing to it first. Taker wanted the streak to end at some point, Vince knew Brock was the only one who could viably earn it in a match, Brock would do the job and knew it would be a big deal regardless of his own opinion. And then it happened. And it NEVER SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED. There's no going back, but honestly Taker should be 25-0 and retired with it. (30-0 in a perfect world lol). The fact you have this larger than life character who is super tough and has been with the company for decades, they could have gotten away with the Streak remaining in tack.
It would of been cool to make a new stable with Paul heyman
I still maintain having the Undertaker lose to a part-timer is the worst decision Vince ever made
They should have waited a year and got sting.
They should have kept stings signing between vary few people so non of the sting vs authority bullshit. Have undertaker Come out giving a challenge to face him at Wrestlemania, but for weeks no one answers the call. On the night of Wrestlemania he gives his last challenge request. A reimagined version of this is sting plays from wcw starcade. The seconded it says this is sting his music plays and a spotlight hits the top of the ramp with sting standing there. He makes his way to the ring, they fight, undertaker loses his streak at mania.
So this would have been stings wwe debut, facing undertaker in a dream match 20 years in the making with a streak 20 years in the making on the line. With two of wrestling biggest legends. Sting hits that 1, 2, 3.... it would have been the biggest Wrestlemania moment in history. Just look how much attention stings wwe debut got, and how much attention undertaker losing the streak got. Imagine both of those in one.
I would then have them feud into the next two PPVs. And this is where all the mind and smoke and mirror games between the two happen. But I'd have undertaker win at the next two PPVs. And in the end sting goes out losing like his generation of wrestler like doing, as well as both coming out looking strong. As Sting took his streak but Undertaker won the Dream feud.
Roman Reigns has been another ideal Heyman guy.
Heyman is Roman Reigns guy onscreen but Backstage,yeah Heyman is writing Roman's lines
I never minded them ending the streak. I get why people hate it but to me it’s to big of a WHAT IF moment to not do. To me I wish WWE did Bryan vs Orton No Holds Bard, Batista vs Leasner, Shield vs Wyatt Family and Cena vs Undertaker where Cena turns heel and ends the streak. That would have been incredible. Overall, I still liked what happened, the match wasn’t good but the loss and the way WWE handled it by not having the commentators say anything and having no theme play and waiting on the 21-1 graphic was perfect as it made it sync in for the fans about what just happened. The way they handled from the 3 count until Undertaker walked to the back was the best way they could have possibly handled it. No deadman magic just a raw and real moment, this unbeatable monster got beaten. Let’s it took away a massive draw for WrestleMaina but I blame WWE for not creating many compelling stories that could make up for it or at least try to. Undertaker just being at WrestleMaina to me still feels special.
I'd bet that a number of folks clapping were some degree of pissed the fuck off when it happened 😂God damn is Heyman great or what?
