10 Reasons Brock Lesnar Is The Most Hated Man In WWE

2. He Beat The Streak Like A Redheaded Stepchild

Just for a change, let€™s not go into the reasons why many fans are still narked that Brock Lesnar was chosen to end the Undertaker€™s undefeated streak at Wrestlemania. You€™ve heard it all before, from Dead Man marks and wrestling smarks, and you€™ve probably heard every single version of the argument that it was the wrong person, for the wrong reason, at the wrong time: or that it simply shouldn€™t have happened at all. In terms of the story being told, no one should have been surprised. Lesnar always had the Undertaker€™s number, even pre-UFC, back in 2002 when he was a freakishly athletic rookie being shot straight to the moon. Big Evil couldn€™t take the guy down in Hell In A Cell, his signature match, when he was the age Lesnar is now, and built like a brick outhouse. How was he seriously expected to beat this overpowered, Bankai version of Brock Lesnar as a broken-down, middle-aged part time wrestler with saggy old-dude muscles? But one thing that becomes obvious when you read interviews with WWE performers and insiders is that the question of the Undertaker and his undefeated Wrestlemania streak was and is just as important to them as it was to fans and commentators. See, that€™s the thing: the WWE and pretty much everyone who works for them marks for Mark. He really is the big dog, the locker room leader, the last outlaw, the living (dead) legend€ call it what you like, but Mark Calaway has been the scary biker uncle to dozens and dozens of wrestlers over the years. Added to that, just as fans and wrestling commentators have thrown in their two cents on the subject, many within WWE have speculated for years about whether the Streak should end, and if so who should end it. The only difference is that, for some of them, this will have been a career opportunity, not just a conversation between over-enthusiastic fans. Don€™t take that the wrong way: Zack Ryder and Kofi Kingston weren€™t sitting backstage at Wrestlemania XXX with their heads in their hands moaning that it should have been them. But this year€™s Wrestlemania has to feel like sloppy seconds for Windham €˜Bray Wyatt€™ Rotunda: a third generation wrestler whose €˜possessed back woods cult leader€™ character has a similar demonic aura to mid-period Undertaker, and (more importantly) who€™s going to be around on a full time basis for years to come. Instead of facing the Dead Man with the Streak on the line, he€™s up against a broken old man who, for the first time in his legendary career, has no heat whatsoever. Good one, Brock.
