    I'm not totally sure Lesnar was meant to end Takers streak.

    Taker was severely concussed and maybe didn't have wherefore all to push out at the three count.

    The commentators were definitely shocked as were the crowd.

    just a theory.

    I thought that too at first, but Lesnar would have been able to make Taker 'kick out' anyway, and they would have ended on the tombstone piledriver.

    As I said before, a lot of people have said that Taker makes the decision, so he wouldn't have told anyone if he was going to end it or not, and would have let Brock know during the match if it was time.

    Personally I wanted it to continue, with Kane eventually ending it, or even Taker winning and going out on a high, and the way Lesnar has treated WWE in the past he was probably the least deserving of the lot.
    How could he make Taker kick out? If it was his decision that Lesnar was to end it then that makes sense, although he didn't need it. I would've had him retire undefeated.

    It's time for taker to retire. He was physically exhausted and was injured from the action.
    They kept it as a surprise that brock would win and the commentators and the referee wasn't told. Lesnar was 10/1 to win just before the start.

    Lesnar needed a big push because he's been losing to all the stars at PPV. Brings life into his career.

    How impressive is Cesaro. His strengths in unbelievable.

    Cesaro is a future star, god knows why they tried to slow him down by tagging him with Swagger.

    I've got to be missing something here... The whole thing is scripted from start to finish, so why are you guys talking like there were different possible outcomes? I'm not being facetious, I know you're adults... So what am I missing?

    I understand what you're saying but I have to say im 99.9% sure it's wrong, ( I'll put in Im a superfan of WWE so I've read so much on this and history of the company as a whole)

    The people who needed to know the outcome knew it and it was Lesnar winning regardless of the outcome of the match. His odds to win shortened dramatically coming up to the match which Is probably not a coincedence, The whole loss of the streak was going to shock everyone because it was so unexpected, It's created a whole media buzz ( mainly America ) which is the best thing about it for WWE.

    This was definetly planned and intended to happen in my opinon.

    Basically in simple terms, undertaker has won 21 matches at mania ( biggest show they do ) and lost none, until sunday he lost, therefore people have gone into overdrive because 1 - Brock Lesnar is a guy who could pin and beat the undertaker if it was a real fight 2 - because nobody expected it people think he done it for himself which just isin't the case.

    Lesnar is HHH's mate isn't he? That's prob why.

    The fact that some are saying Lesnar isn't 'deserving' or that it was so 'unexpected' was the whole point of it. People in the wrestling community will be talking about this for years, even decades.

    Its the biggest shock since the Montreal Screwjob (though a completely different situation), and in a way, I think it was a brilliant move. None of us saw it coming whatsoever.

    Imagine people are talking about the ending of a TV show, say the last Sopranos, well that's exactly what is happening here.

    It's no secret that it's scripted. It's just that nobody knows what the scripted outcome will be.

    It's entertainment. Soap Opera. Modern day circus if you like .

    Nobody i know ever called it a sport.

    It keeps my kids quite or three hours and anything that does that has total respect from me!

    No clue, I know HHH was the one who wanted and got Brock back when he returned in 2012 though.

    Barbara 'Brock' Lesnar would be very offended by that comment. And you wouldn't want to upset him her!

    Haven't watched it for years but I'm pretty sure HHH, Lesnar and Batista are all old body-building buddies.

    This is also my guilty pleasure. Watched it since I was a kid. Taker losing the streak was a shocker. Bryan's win long overdue....

    Unbelievable. Ultimate Warrior was only on Wrestlemania and Raw a day or two ago being inducted into the hall of fame.
