10 Phrases Guaranteed To Anger Most Wrestling Fans
2. "21 And 1"
Was there anyone on the WWE roster, past or present, who could have ended The Undertaker's streak at WrestleMania - any WrestleMania - without angering a sizeable portion of the audience? Wouldn't there have been at least one wide-eyed, incensed, meme-worthy fan in the crowd no matter who put The Phenom down?
That's debatable, but what isn't debatable is how many WWE fans lost their damn marbles when Brock Lesnar pinned Taker at WrestleMania 30. As confusion led to despair, the outrage spread across the internet like wildfire.
No one really expected Brock Lesnar to end the streak. So when the dust finally settled at the Superdome, fans came out of the woodwork to voice their displeasure and offer a smorgasbord of alternative wrestlers who should have ended the streak instead. Bray Wyatt, Randy Orton, CM Punk, and Roman Reigns are names that are still thrown around when discussing these "better options". Others wanted to see The Dead Man carry the streak into the great beyond once he retired.
Would any of those options have been the right call? Hard to say. But that last one might've stopped fans from convulsing at the mention of "21 and 1".
