10 Things Stone Cold Must Ask The Undertaker On WWE Network Podcast
1. The Streak
889965At Wrestlemania 7 in 1991, The Undertaker defeated Superfly Jimmy Snuka to begin a streak that would last until Wrestlemania 30 in 2014. During this time, The Streak organically built over time to become Wrestlemania's biggest story in the later 2000's and early 2010's. For a while it would be casually mentioned that Taker was 8-0 or 10-0, but by Wrestlemania 22, The Streak was it's own entity.
Subsequently, Taker began reeling off Match Of The Year quality contests annually, and contributed to it's mystique. The list of men who attempted to break The Streak is a who's who of Hall of Famers, and is sort of it's own unique fraternity. When Brock Lesnar defeated The Undertaker, it sent shockwaves through the Wrestling world and made its way to mainstream media cycles.
However, this match wasn't aesthetically pleasing and for many reasons. First, Undertaker was said to have suffered a concussion that hampered his performance. Second, Taker and Brock just had a lackluster build and feel to it, and finally The Undertaker just looked old.
When approaching the topic of The Streak, Austin has to ask about the concussion issues, and the numerous conspiracy theories that came out almost immediately after the match. Was it the right call? What did he think about McMahon's plan to feed the heat off Lesnar's win to Reigns, and that blowing up in WWE's face? What matches in The Streak does he want back? Or what was his favorite match? Surely this will be the most memorable segment of the interview.
