WWE: 10 Most Disappointing Things About WrestleMania 30
2. The Predictable Streak
There was a time when fans were unsure as to whether The Undertaker could continue his phenomenal streak year in year out at a Wrestlemania event. As fans we were treated to classic wrestling bouts between the Dead Man and some of the biggest names in WWE history and for years the streak match was heralded as the most appetising and compelling match on the Wrestlemania card. Yet recently it would seem the Streak Match has become somewhat stale and, dare I say it, predictable. Just as CM Punk was never going to end the streak in 2013 it is a certainty that Brock Lesnar will also fail to end the streak in 2014. Certainty is the death of the whole concept of a streak match. If we know that The Undertaker will be victorious beyond any doubt, then the whole premise of a streak match, its mystique and uncertainty, is broken. Roll back the years to Undertakers bouts with Shawn Michaels and Triple H, and there was a tangible uncertainty as to whether the Undertaker could win through on the night. Now that many of the big names have left the WWE it seems as if the streak match is almost too good a match for the current WWE talent. The only man who would evoke the vital uncertainty in the streak match and who, in my opinion, should be wrestling Undertaker on the 30th Anniversary of Wrestlemania, is John Cena. It would make sense following Cenas victory over The Rock at last years Wrestlemania that momentum should carry Cena, as the face of the WWE, to battle Undertaker. However, and rather disappointingly, the streak match we have instead is neither exciting nor inspiring and portrays all too well the current creative troubles in the WWE.
