It got peoples attention.

It got Brock even more real heat.

It brings in questions.

And Heyman delivered an incredible promo on Raw.

I've read Taker picked Lesnar to end the streak like 4 years ago, but Lesnar of course wouldn't come back. Taker is a big fan of MMA and since MMA is real, and Taker is a tough guy in real life it made sense why he would want Lesnar to be the one. You can talk about giving it to a 'younger' guy, but whose to say that young guy would stick around? Lesnar is probably leaving in another year (maybe), but if CM Punk defeated the streak then we'd be in the same boat. He would have won, got a big push, but probably leave anyway because of burn out.

The match at Mania also showed Lesnar is really talented whether you like him or not. Taker got the concussion early in the match and caused Lesnar to 'carry' the match and call 'live spots'. Was it overall terrible? It was ... okay ... but we weren't going to expect a wrestling match.. and with the concussion.. you know why it wasn't great.

I was shocked when I saw it. I was in denial. But after the promo, and knowing it was Taker's decision to let Lesnar win it, there's not much left to be said. Taker deserves to let whoever end it.
