Undertaker has always been my #1 fav in wrestling and Brock isn't too far behind so this subject does matter to me a little more than most shitty wrestling angles. I really feel this was handled incredibly foolishly and I think even a group of monkeys probably could have come up with a more fitting finish.
In my opinion, "horrible television" is having an awkward finish after just three F5s to a guy who in the past had to be taken out by an ENTIRE ROSTER just for Yokozuna to stuff him into a casket. Anybody remember the Undertaker's past and how much it always takes to get him down in the big matches? Even with Taker going down, that casket match where he lost to Yokozuna after taking a beating from the entire roster is still one of the most amazing moments in the Undertaker's history BECAUSE of how many finishers he had to take and how many times he kept getting back up. What if all they did was have Yokozuna do his finisher three times and easily roll Taker into that casket?
There's no way we should have went from THAT so many years ago, to seeing John Cena kick out of 15 Rock Bottoms last year, to now this year Taker gets a regular old pinfall as a result of three of the SAME finisher? We saw a bland John Cena kick out of more finishers than we could COUNT last year and you think it makes sense for Taker to fall at this WM to three F5s? All of a sudden it's Undertaker's match where we should start cutting back on how many finishers get kicked out of? What?!?!? LMAO Yeah, good thinking WWE. The BS with Cena kicking out of endless Rock Bottoms last year still is a subject that annoys me greatly btw lol Cena should not be kicking out of more finishers than the Undertaker.
Pretty wasteful after all the years of effort THEY put into making us believe that the Undertaker's streak was something supernatural that would take unbelievable circumstances to end. I'm just going by what they've taught us over the years when I say how disappointing this is, because the streak was never just supposed to randomly end while people didn't even realize what was happening in front of them. Probably the worst ending in Wrestlemania if not wrestling history itself... and this is coming from a guy who IS a Lesnar fan. Brock's probably my 2nd or 3rd favorite in WWE, actually, but WWE spent decades teaching us that it would take the mouth of hell opening to finally swallow Taker's streak and then it just randomly ended during what everybody thought was another easy near fall?
It was almost as awkward as that time they had Kozlov beat Taker by body slamming him out of his "old school" rope walk and getting a clean fall with NO finisher needed... but at least that wasn't at WM! lol
At least if all of Taker's past foes could have come out and make it like the end of an epic saga, people would have started to realize what they were seeing happen before their eyes and they could have appreciated it instead of having to convince themselves why it was ok after the fact. For those who saw that classic Royal Rumble match with Yokozuna, it would have been like deja vu. Anybody who would get bored watching legend after legend come out and confront Taker on the grandest stage of them all should just turn off their TV, because why are you even watching if something that rare that collides past and present isn't entertaining to you?
That final moment should have been something that we all felt move in slow motion before our eyes. Instead, it was a blink of an eye where some people thought the WWE network glitched! lol Horrible ending for a match featuring two of my top favorites in wrestling history. At least it didn't go to somebody I can't stand... got to look at the glass half full. haha
Looking ahead, let's just hope this doesn't mean Lesnar gets fed to John Cena AGAIN now to make Cena seem more invincible than ever before, now having defeated the guy who broke the streak BEFORE and AFTER Brock breaking it. That's all we need... If that happens, I'll fuck myself in the ass with a camera and send the footage straight to WWE. After this, if Lesnar does lose to anybody anytime in the next year or two, I sure hope it's somebody damn good who deserves it. (Reigns, Wyatt or maybe even Cesaro)
I 100% agree Taker earned the right to choose Lesnar and I am glad Brock and Taker were able to finish the match the way it was planned even with Taker getting hurt, but it's the fact that it was already planned to end that way that gets me. It means there was a point where a small handful of WWE people got together in the back and actually agreed that having it end that way made sense after all these years... and THAT's what boggles my mind. Many wow. Such amaze.
