If I had been in control of the streak ending, it would have been written like a true story.

Taker would have looked like he can't be kept down even after multiple F-5's, but then that's when people from Taker's past would start coming back to haunt him. The ref would get knocked out and then would come, one by one, all or most of his living opponents from past Wrestlemanias. Every single guy they can get to show up, hit Taker and deliver their finisher to him... all in a row. Taker keeps getting up by the time the next guy comes out and then he takes another finisher....

All the way through HHH, HBK, (would be interesting if they could get Punk too) and all the way through guys like Diesel, Sid, Jake Roberts, Superfly Snuka, etc...

And then finally after all those past ghosts came back to put Taker down, the ref wakes back up and sees Lesnar deliver the final F-5. By then the fans would have known damn well what they were seeing play out before their eyes and it would have actually told an amazing story that wrapped up his streak after all those years. It would have made even MORE sense with how they showed caskets in the beginning of his match with all the past fallen names written on them! Think how into it the crowd would have been, either cheering or freaking out as Sid hits that Powerbomb... Diesel hits another one. Jake comes out and hits a DDT! The place would go nuts even with them seeing the end of something great.

That would have been SO easy to do with all the names WWE has access too this time of year. It would have been poetic in a way... but instead, we get an unexpected and awkwardly mapped ending, seemingly out of nowhere after just three finishers? This should have taken an ARMY to accomplish and at the end of the day Lesnar still could have benefited from the win even though he really doesn't need that kind of momentum behind him. The streak ending really could have been something amazing, but once again the lack of creativity in WWE pours over all else like acid.

I have no dislike toward Lesnar since he was filling a role and since I'm pretty sure Taker always wanted Lesnar to be the one... but damn, WWE should have stepped in as far as how to creatively make this all go down. This match is the one that disgusted me most all night, and the performers in the match ARE NOT to blame!!!
