WWE And TNA: 7 Worst Moments Of The Week (April 13)

2. The Streak Ends

Professional wrestling rarely builds something as long-lasting and meaningful as The Undertaker's WrestleMania streak. It started all the way back in 1991 at WrestleMania VII, and while it wasn't really considered a streak until years later, it had a definite beginning. Now, it has a definite end, and it wasn't exactly the one that fans had envisioned. In an ideal wrestling world, Taker would have been healthy enough to go at least another two years. At WrestleMania 31, we could have seen him take on Sting in a dream match. At 32, he could then have lost to a younger heel like Bray Wyatt, Dean Ambrose or evil Santino if they got really desperate. Instead, Taker has passed his 21-0 streak over to Brock Lesnar's 2-2 WrestleMania record. We don't know for sure what happened yet, but it sounds like Taker recently realized that this was it for him. He just couldn't compete at the level that he expected of himself and decided to call it a career. Now, we did get the fantastic Paul Heyman promo on Raw gloating over how his client was the one to end the streak. That almost makes up for getting rid of the much-loved WrestleMania tradition, but not quite. Of course, it is Taker's body and his career, so he can do whatever he wants. That doesn't mean that we have to enjoy watching a historic record come to an end though. Besides Taker, Fandango also lost his undefeated WrestleMania streak. Now what do we have to look forward to?
