WWE: 10 Best Moments From Attending WrestleMania Weekend

6. Paul Heyman's 21-1 Promo On Raw

I wanted to like Brock Lesnar versus The Undertaker - I think we all did. 'Taker's WrestleMania matches had become the highlights of the show of shows, but for the first time in years, his bout just wasn't very good. Compounding all that was the gut-punch of seeing the Deadman lose on the grandest stage of them all, his legendary WrestleMania streak broken. Raw the next night, though, nearly made up for all of that. Lesnar and Heyman, the conquering heroes, made their way to the ring to the kind of true hatred that's hard to find in wrestling nowadays, and the former Impresario of Extreme saw fit to rub salt in the wounds of fans grieving their fallen idol. He repeatedly read the words on Lesnar's "Eat, Sleep, Break the Streak" shirt, and all the while, "The Beast Incarnate" proudly grinned. Truth be told, Heyman's promo was so good that he had actually turned much of the crowd in his favor by the time it was over. That's okay, though - it may not be next week, or even next month, but Brock Lesnar will be back, Paul Heyman will be by his side, and together, they'll wreak the kind of hateable havoc only they can.
