For many, The Undertakers undefeated streak was the best part of WrestleMania. Over the past few years especially, in matches with Shawn Michaels, Triple H and CM Punk, The Streak being defended was one of the most thrilling events to witness in all of wrestling. Now its gone The idea was to have Brock Lesnar end The Streak, and then build up Roman Reigns over the course of the year and finally topple Brock. In a way the torch would have been passed to him. With Reigns missing a few months due to injury, and not catching on as a main-eventer yet, ending The Streak may prove to be a massive mistake. Imagine how much more intriguing Bray Wyatt vs. Taker would be if there was the possibility of him being the one to end Takers reign. Undertaker's career has been so linked with WrestleMania that taking away something that was so integral to his legacy was bound do damage his character. Unfortunately, since WWE failed to take advantage of The Streak ending, and still hasn't addressed Taker's thoughts on the loss, his journey from one WrestleMania to the next has been the worst of all.
As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at."
Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week.
