WWE WrestleMania 30: 10 Reasons The Undertaker Losing The Streak Was A Waste Of 22 Years

7. It Died At The Hands Of The Wrong Man

If pro wrestling were real and not scripted entertainment, Brock Lesnar would make short work of The Deadman, along with everyone else in WWE. The former UFC Heavyweight Champion outmatches Undertaker in every way. He's younger, bigger, stronger, faster and more skilled and well-trained in combat sports. But it isn't real and everyone knows it, so the logic that Brock was the man to end the streak because he was the most realistic opponent to do so makes little sense. Out of every Undertaker streak match, at least since they began acknowledging the streak, this one quite possibly had the least amount of suspense as to who would win. Anyone not still blissfully stuck in the world of kayfabe had zero doubt on the outcome. That speaks as much to how savy fans are to the inner workings of the business as it does to the WWE's inability to tell an effective story. The result of every big match should always be at least somewhat in question, and that was never the case here. The reaction of the audience when the three was counted, and the feeling of the air being sucked out of the building as The Undertaker lay motionless in the ring beneath a giant 21-1 graphic is the evidence you need that the ending was a complete shock to everyone. But it wasn't because The Undertaker was viewed as invincible. It's because the decision to have a part-timer on a very limited appearance contract, who by his own admission gives zero damns about wrestling be the one given the honor makes no sense from a booking standpoint.
