All of which have had their glory at best, not believable of beating Taker at worst. Not to say Lesnar is a god of the industry and a young blood, but he's a freak of nature physically, he came back from a long hiatus, it just made sense. CM Punk was dithering, Angle was both aging and dithering, Cena wins everything ever, and Edge was retiring. Frankly, I think the most logical streak ender was Orton back 10 years ago (holy fuck it was that long ago?). Kid was always going to be a leading guy, had the charisma and athleticism, and could have used the boost when he split from Evolution. That's just me though. I'm personally cool with Lesnar being the one to do it as it stands, and I say all this as someone who's loved Taker and WWE for 20+ years.
imagine if punk got it, then he left the company. that would be a big FU to the streak. same for the new guys. what if suddenly they decided to quit. brock is the best choice, coz he is already at the top, and the best heel for the job.
+phoenixsplash135 lmfao.. That has properly tickled me.. I have this vision that at any Wrestlemainia or other big shows that them two were together.. They would be standing behind the curtains and BOOOOOM.. The music hits and they turn to each other and said "Ready Pooh?" - "Ready Wendy..." Both say "Lets do it." and walk out together.. I don't think i'll be able to watch another entrance with them two in the same light ever again. lololol
Even nicer that Kane was backstage, why is it that the people who play characters that are meant to scare the shit out of people are some of the nicest people Backstage
Keir Armstrong it's really weird, both of the brothers of destruction play scary characters on TC but irl they are saints, Kane being a nice guy all the time to the point when Randy Orton was being a dick to a kid and the kid cried he calmed the kid down and cheered him up and he is a person of the people and always put guys over and is planning to run for mayor of Louisville Kentucky as a mayor of the people and he would be a fresh mayor, taker is the same way as being a nice dude and putting guys over and he does charity stuff through his church in Texas and has a charity for saving dogs, both great guys
@@CRob172 don't forget about their joint animal charity thing! Although the best thing about Taker is what McCool shared on her instagram a few weeks ago... Apperantly when their daughter gets mad with Mean Mark she asks Michelle to "why everybody in the world loves daddy"
TakerKaneanite619 I wonder who would indict him into the Hall? I was thinking Mcfoley. My buddy was thinking Kane. I don't really know him being good friends with any current wrestler.
I'd think Vince would do it. But, would it be "weird"? That, or Bret Hart. I remember reading somewhere a while back (and I believe it to be true) that when Owen died, Taker told them he's leaving for a while to take care of his good friend and jumped on a plane to Alberta. Nobody was going to say anything to him about that. That's how much pull he had.
You'll hear the gong, the smoke'll rise, the Druids will come out, and then lightning will hit the stage with the titantron reading R.I.P. the casket then appears and taker sits up and gives his speech
I live in Austin TX fun fact so does undertaker. One day I was working at radioshack and he came in to buy a car charger. Nicest man i asked him about his bike he was riding and was super cool he came back a couple times. Always a cool man.
He played basketball in Lufkin, Texas at Angelina College. At one of WWE's shows, one of the basketball teams managers went because the Undertaker was there. He held up a sign that said something about Angelina and how he played there. During his entrance, he walked over to the manager and said, "is that sonofabitch Johnson still their?", who was Undertakers coach and was still a coach there. The manager said yes, and long story short, he got to go backstage and meet the Undertaker after the match.
There's always the "the best superstar of all time" thing going on, and there will always be the classic names like HBK, Ric Flair, and the like, but for me it will always be The Undertaker. The reason being that there will simply never be another Undertaker. People have attributed talents with being "like Shawn Michaels", namely Dolph Ziggler, for years, but if you ask me in the history of pro wrestling there has never been and never will be another person like Mark Calaway, The Undertaker. When he does retire, it will be an emotional time, and he will go out being one of if not the most respected talent in WWE history.
To be fair, removing his ability to submit is actually in line with a character like the Undertaker. He's dead and knows no pain, the only way you can knock a zombie down is to destroy it's body. (or brain, but I don't think even TV-14 will allow that)
I wonder why you didn't mention Undertaker storming into Vince's office (threatening to kick the damn door down if Vince didn't open it) and basically threatening to walk if Vince didn't apologise to Bret Hart for the Montreal Screwjob, but I suppose that's too well-known to count as a "fascinating backstage fact".
It's one of the things I like best about Undertaker- he's a company man through-and-through, unswervingly loyal to WWF/E, never even tempted to leave them for a rival promotion, but he's not just a kiss-ass, he really does have the best interests of the company at heart. He's Vince's most loyal employee, but he's not a yes-man or a stooge. He possibly saved the company by forcing Vince to apologise to Bret.
I'm gonna cry like a fucking baby when he retires. For real, I didn't give a shit about Ric Flair, but Undertaker will definitely push me over the edge.
OmegaSanction Same! Undertaker is the most badass wrestler ever, he's supposed to be on Smackdown! tomorrow night, and hopefully he's just there for the 900th episode
I don't think anyone could say a bad word against Taker. He keeps private, doesn't have any bad PR moments, plays it up for the fans, is well respected and does his job well. Old School.
He's a good dude and never uses his platform inappropriately. Keeps it clean, keeps his personal stuff separate in public forums. A consummate professional. Easily one of the greatest. 🤘
Taker was shocked when he found out the streak was supposed to end with Lesnar. That sadness you see at the end of streak-breaking match is very legitimate - He wanted the streak to end to a new guy so he can give them a big push, he didn't think Lesnar needed that kind of thing at all and he didn't. Orton, who could've REALLY benefitted from it at the time, especially because he was in his "Legend Killer" gimmick and this would've been the cherry on top, refused out of respect. So did guys like Kurt Angle. Lesnar just took it when he didn't need it and thought nothing of it. I liked the guy back in the day but even back then and especially now, Lesnar is a full representation of absolutely everything that is wrong with Wrestling today - He doesn't care about fans, he doesn't care about what fans want, he doesn't care about traditions, he doesn't even care about putting a good show considering all he does is fucking suplexes and f-5s, all he wants to do is whatever he's told to do in order to get that paycheck and go home. The job means nothing to him.
wow I haven't watched wrestling in years but Undertaker was always my favorite. I used to respect him as just a damn fine wrestler but learning all this makes me respect him 100 times more
Orton and Angle refused to end the Streak out of sheer respect for Undertaker even though he wanted them to break it that just shows how much respect they had for the Streak
+Ciaran McGuinness I don't know what it says about Lesner, that he respected Taker enough to break the streak, or just was the only [non-]wrestler to have the balls to do it. I was pissed until I realized the few years prior when Calloway was "heckling" Lesner at a UFC event was really Taker pitching Lesner's return and ultimately his own demise at Lesner's hands. Damn, Taker really didn't want that streak or, by proxy, that prestige. The Streak was more important than the Heavyweight belt. It's the main draw for WM for the past 20 years. I can't fathom why anyone would want to give that up.
+edwiniseman4 Well Lesnar and Undertaker are buddys and Taker told Lesnar that he wanted to give him the Streak and Lesnar refused, then Taker insisted and said that if he doesn´t do it he won´t let anybody else do it.
Paul Bearer:Hey,Wendy! Undertaker... Later that night in Great American Bash 2004... Paul Bearer:SAVE ME,SAVE ME UNDERTAKER! Undertaker:Paul...I have no choice...REST IN PEACE! Buries him in cement.
+Zink chaching hands down, he has / had the best career of any wrestler ever, he may not of been the guy all the kids wanted to be but he was always the undertaker, Even stone cold was multiple personas like the king of the ring.
The Undertaker will always be my favorite Wrestler of all time. But I prefer 'The Deadman' Undertaker from 1991 - 1999. The streak should never have been broken!!
bigevilworldwide1 shows that Mark Calloway is a nice guy that looked evil and menacing for his role. He is an actor but the character he played is what I like better.
+Gerann Gerber The Undertaker is a Part Time Wrestler who wrestles one match a year, he is getting older and he has to retire soon (really soon). I guess he could of retired before it was broken but The Undertaker is a broken bodied Goth grandpa while Brock Lesnar is a statue of meat put together with men's tears and bear teeth, it should have been broken (he even wanted it to). I wish he retired after that match and was put in last years hall of fame.
It's funny how the Clique bullied all.. BAR one person.. hummmmm.. Undertakers best quote was from his DVD... "I'm not bad.. but the bad don't mess with me." Legend and probably the best ever all round wrestler.. He put Brock over at Wrestlemania.. (Even though looking back, he wish he hadn't.) but he was one of the main reasons that WWF/E beat WCW.. From the Gimik to the Attitude of the man.. The best ever in the business.
+Haroon Abdul Majeed - Not fully true.. The story of Taker wraping his hands was all about HBK putting over Austin over.. HBK wasn't for putting him over until Taker said that Shaun would answer to him if he didn't.. Listen to some of the shoots about them lot and you'll be amazed at some of the things they did to people, the way they treated some and the way they ran to Vince each time they wasn't 100% with the stories. Put it this way. Them 4 was Hogan split over 4 guys at times.. and now the WWE celebrate them like they was good for business..
+ThePC GamersCommunity There's a video floating around of when Ric Flair retired. A bunch of wrestlers and a few other officials are out by the ring paying their respects when the bell goes off. Immediately, the crowd erupts (naturally) and EVERYBODY clears a path for him to walk to the ring. Even Ric himself freezes in respect for his friend.
+Xpr3ss. CM Punk is one, Batista at WM 23, Shawn Michaels at WM 25 (then the rematch at WM 26 could have been Taker looking for revenge by retiring HBK), Kurt Angle should have had a shot at some point (maybe at WM XX, and replace him with Kane for the WWE Championship match with Eddie Guerrero still winning of course).
+Xpr3ss. CM Punk, Bray Wyatt, maybe Daniel Bryan. Anybody, ANYBODY but Block Lestard who can't cut a in ring promo without putting the audience to sleep so he has to have Paul Heyman do all the talking because he's the black hole of charisma........sorry I just really, really hate Brock Lesnar, even when he debuted I thought the guy had no talent at all besides being able to pick up large men, and my thoughts were confirmed the moment that walking slab of meat started talking.
+Xpr3ss. If you are going to break it, it should be someone who is heel (because they are likely going to get a heel reaction), needs it for their career and is somewhere around their first 5 years of main card status. . Brock Lesner was not the right choice.
I can't say it really surprises me that 'Taker was the one to "discuss" matters with Shawn Michaels. I seem to recall hearing an interview in which Randy Orton admits that 'Taker took him aside for "full and frank discussion" more than once. Didn't say what was actually said, but you could tell by Orton's tone that these little talks were always taken very seriously.
The man is a real life badass!!! Vince McMahon wishes he can have another Mark Callaway but he wont, guys like that come once in a lifetime, it's probably why Undertaker has been around so long, Vince just wont let him leave
4 years later in 2020 " looks like maybe this will be the year taker retires.....2040 "Mark Calloways revived corpse achieved US citizenship today and wrestled on the night of the 50th anniversary of his first match".......2140 "robotaker beat Vincent helmsley-mcmahon IV today for the milky way galaxy title after putting him through 4 plasma tables and riding off on his hover bike.
That thing about 'Taker being Vince's bully boy and forming his own (k)crew makes sense when you think about how he was a professional leg-breaker before he became a wrestler.
Orton would have been so over if he did break the streak, which would have been fitting since he was still on the Legend Killer gimmick back then. Shame the streak was used on Lesnar, who is not getting any younger.
I love The Undertaker, but man I swear to god it will literally be like 2020 and he'll STILL be doing like hell in a cell, and I don't even know how that would physically be possible.
Now that mark has retired from the ring im kinda hoping something like wrestlers court does come to the network even if it's fake stories and rivalries i just think it would be good unless taker becomes gm or commissioner of smackdown i honestly dont know what kind of public role he could take but i do know that talent he coaches are going to be some lucky bastards.
Somebody that was/is a "lifer" should of ended it if that's what Undertaker wanted. Somebody that eats, drinks, and breathes the business. Maybe it's just me idk. Undertaker was always my favorite wrestler since 3 when I saw him back in 1990.
actually John Cena should've been the one in my opinion..John Cena is 1 win from tying Ric Flair's record for the most Heavyweight Championship wins-he has 15 Flair had 16..Just my opinion here
Ryder should have broke the streak!!! Think of that push! Think what Ryder breaking the streak would mean! Ryder breaking the streak would literally give the RAW after the biggest TV rating a single show ever had
@@MyahUnleashed Taker wanted the "Legend Killer" (Orton 04) to beat the streak... The general idea is that an up & comer would be the streak and gain major heat
Taker offered the opportunity to Kane twice, but Kane outright refused the opportunity both times, he didn't want to break The Streak, he believed that opportunity should have gone to someone else, particularly someone younger whose career could make better use of the boost. Most of the guys Taker wanted to offer the opportunity to, veteran or otherwise, actually turned it down. And I honestly can't blame them, if I had ever wound up as a WWE wrestler (never would have happened, I'm just not built for it), and I were offered that opportunity, I would have respectfully declined myself. I think he'd offered the opportunity to guys like Batista, Orton, HBK, Kane, etc. but they all declined. I can understand Taker wanting to have used his career with The Streak to give an up-and-comer's career a boost, but I can also understand why they would choose to decline the opportunity. The Streak was a huge part of WWE history, so I'm sure plenty of guys were either afraid of ending something as historic and legendary as The Streak (and thus, the possible backlash from fans being more detrimental to their career than ending The Streak would be beneficial), and others simply didn't want to end The Streak.
You know,Mark is a good guy in general.his work inspired me to be a feared but a kind, respectful, and helpful person. I really appreciated his career and work in and out of stage.some time (probably 20s at least)I'll try to be the best WWE wrestler in the locker room.Thank you mark, keep fighting.😀
Lesnar is one of the last people I wanted to break the streak.. Sure, he's "the beast" and the former UFC Heavyweight champion and all that but he didn't need it! It should of never ended tbh. He probably should have retired when he reached 20-0. I think if the streak would have ended, I'd say probably Bray Wyatt should have broken it because it's a passing of the torch and it just makes sense.
Technically the rub can still be given. Brock didn't get all the heat from the end of the streak. It was supposed to be Roman Reigns by transition when he would beat Brock clean for the title at Wrestlemania 31. That was the reason Brock broke the streak. I'm not saying it was the right decision, just that it was the reasoning.
I agree! I wanted Bray to break the streak in his first WM apperance then create his own streak... Too bad WWE decided to make Bray the biggest joke since Isaac Yankem
+Budman Not only that.. those guy seems are achiever.. Kurt Angle - Olympic Gold Medalist Randy Orton - The true and former marine, many people think John Cena was... Wade Barrett - bare-knuckle boxing champ Mark Henry - Weightlifting champ He seems pretty prefer to lose on the achiever and real tough guys...
+Budman Just hearing that pisses me off to no end. Barrett could have a been a huge talent, but now he's literally got one foot out of the door. Such a waste WWE.
Worked a WWE show years ago, met a bunch of the wrestlers before they died, and since I was running spotlight, heard EVERY issue they had in real time. But it was before I left, coming down from spotlight, I turn the corner backstage and witness Undertaker in full gear, playing catch with a little kid. It was strangely sweet.
Fuck HBK Undertaker is the GOAT in my opinion. His loyalty to the company his legacy his in ring ability at 50 something years old his streak his entrances the respect he receives behind the scenes and of course the level of epicness whenever he has any match and how much backstage speculation there is about his career and his personal life. No one touches Takers legacy and what he's meant to the industry absolutely NOBODY!
I dont like the people that say the streak should have ended. it shouldn't. maybe if WWE wanted it so badly Shawn Michaels should have broke it at wrestlemania 25 then undertaker beat him at wrestlemania 26 and have one final battle at wrestlemania 27
In the Legends podcast with Steve Austin, JBL, Shawn Michaels, and Triple H in which they discuss the career of the Undertaker they talk about the incident in which Taker choked out Kurt Angle revealing more details about it making it far more grousome and bad ass. In the event prior to the plane ride the Undertaker's ear was caught in Austins Knee brace and was nearly torn off his head, with no time to waiste getting to the next venue basically Triple H and Austin were using towels to hold the Undertakers ear on for the entire flight so that a plastic surgeon could reattatch it when they arrived at the next airport. When Kurt and Vince began wrestling the Undertaker, already having lost a lot of blood and his ear barely hanging on was annoyed by Kurt and Vince's play so he jumped up and of course went after Kurt Angle to end it.
The idea of Undertaker waking up from a nap like in the list cracks me up. I can't help but picture he just sits straight up every time he wakes up similar to what he does in wrestling. So just imagine fighting near him and you suddenly hear his music start up while he sits up like Jason Voorhees. That's awesome.
It would've been pretty awesome if Barrett broke the streak in my opinion. He likely would've sky rocketed and became huge but now he's just gonna leave in the beginning of the summer.
"Make sure a young talent benefited from his legendary career" undertaker is the greatest person of all time
brock lesnar isnt exactly a young talent lmao
but him ending it was the most logical, and believable out of anyone.
+Matthew Charisma yup
+Matthew Charisma Anyone could've done it. Personally, I think it should have been CM Punk, Kurt Angle, John Cena or Edge.
All of which have had their glory at best, not believable of beating Taker at worst.
Not to say Lesnar is a god of the industry and a young blood, but he's a freak of nature physically, he came back from a long hiatus, it just made sense. CM Punk was dithering, Angle was both aging and dithering, Cena wins everything ever, and Edge was retiring.

Damn, Taker really didn't want that streak or, by proxy, that prestige. The Streak was more important than the Heavyweight belt. It's the main draw for WM for the past 20 years. I can't fathom why anyone would want to give that up.
+edwiniseman4 Well Lesnar and Undertaker are buddys and Taker told Lesnar that he wanted to give him the Streak and Lesnar refused, then Taker insisted and said that if he doesn´t do it he won´t let anybody else do it.
The Demon Of Hell And Darkness Dude, search on the Internet. Lesnar refused, but Taker insisted on him beating the streak.
That Monday Night Wars poster was awesome. Good job WhCW Creatives.

That moment you realize, Undertaker shares the same nickname as AJ Styles' wife
Wow. So he's my favourite wrestler both in _and_ out of the ring now.

The Undertaker will always be my favorite Wrestler of all time. But I prefer 'The Deadman' Undertaker from 1991 - 1999. The streak should never have been broken!!
the ministry angle was what made me watch wwf
Ok. The Ministry was the Darkest that The Undertaker ever was in my opinion!!
bigevilworldwide1 shows that Mark Calloway is a nice guy that looked evil and menacing for his role. He is an actor but the character he played is what I like better.
I wasn't really fond of The American Bad Ass persona. The Deadman to me, must be scary as hell, and the ABA era really didn't do it for me.
+Gerann Gerber The Undertaker is a Part Time Wrestler who wrestles one match a year, he is getting older and he has to retire soon (really soon). I guess he could of retired before it was broken but The Undertaker is a broken bodied Goth grandpa while Brock Lesnar is a statue of meat put together with men's tears and bear teeth, it should have been broken (he even wanted it to). I wish he retired after that match and was put in last years hall of fame.

i think randy orton refused to out of respect
+LA 4L42 He did, so did Angle.
lol brock got no respect
ppplllm:-):-)ooookkklk
io
even HHH & HBK refused so right there that said something.
It's funny how the Clique bullied all.. BAR one person.. hummmmm..
Undertakers best quote was from his DVD... "I'm not bad.. but the bad don't mess with me."
Legend and probably the best ever all round wrestler.. He put Brock over at Wrestlemania.. (Even though looking back, he wish he hadn't.) but he was one of the main reasons that WWF/E beat WCW.. From the Gimik to the Attitude of the man.. The best ever in the business.
👎
+Haroon Abdul Majeed - Not fully true.. The story of Taker wraping his hands was all about HBK putting over Austin over.. HBK wasn't for putting him over until Taker said that Shaun would answer to him if he didn't..
Listen to some of the shoots about them lot and you'll be amazed at some of the things they did to people, the way they treated some and the way they ran to Vince each time they wasn't 100% with the stories.
Put it this way. Them 4 was Hogan split over 4 guys at times.. and now the WWE celebrate them like they was good for business..
+ThePC GamersCommunity
I think it's good for business. I love hearing about the world of backstage during the 80s and 90s. I'd love to buy their DVD.
+ThePC GamersCommunity There's a video floating around of when Ric Flair retired. A bunch of wrestlers and a few other officials are out by the ring paying their respects when the bell goes off. Immediately, the crowd erupts (naturally) and EVERYBODY clears a path for him to walk to the ring. Even Ric himself freezes in respect for his friend.
Which dvd is this?
This video increase my respect towards untertaker over 9000!!

Who in your opinion should have broke The Streak?
In my opinion CM Punk should have, because 20-1 looks more cool than 21-1
+Xpr3ss. CM Punk is one, Batista at WM 23, Shawn Michaels at WM 25 (then the rematch at WM 26 could have been Taker looking for revenge by retiring HBK), Kurt Angle should have had a shot at some point (maybe at WM XX, and replace him with Kane for the WWE Championship match with Eddie Guerrero still winning of course).
Bray Wyatt should've broke the streak last year but of course there was no streak anymore. Would've been great for wyatt's career going forward
punk wasn't worthy of ending the streak.
+Xpr3ss. CM Punk, Bray Wyatt, maybe Daniel Bryan. Anybody, ANYBODY but Block Lestard who can't cut a in ring promo without putting the audience to sleep so he has to have Paul Heyman do all the talking because he's the black hole of charisma........sorry I just really, really hate Brock Lesnar, even when he debuted I thought the guy had no talent at all besides being able to pick up large men, and my thoughts were confirmed the moment that walking slab of meat started talking.
+Xpr3ss. If you are going to break it, it should be someone who is heel (because they are likely going to get a heel reaction), needs it for their career and is somewhere around their first 5 years of main card status. . Brock Lesner was not the right choice.
The Undertaker is the Lemmy Kilmister of wrestling.
Richard Xavier More like Ozzy Osbourne
No , Lemmy
So basically the Undertaker is the fucking man and everyone wishes he was their dad.
+TheTsugnawmi2010 kinda
+David.Larkin *yes
Sounds about right
I can't say it really surprises me that 'Taker was the one to "discuss" matters with Shawn Michaels. I seem to recall hearing an interview in which Randy Orton admits that 'Taker took him aside for "full and frank discussion" more than once. Didn't say what was actually said, but you could tell by Orton's tone that these little talks were always taken very seriously.
The man is a real life badass!!! Vince McMahon wishes he can have another Mark Callaway but he wont, guys like that come once in a lifetime, it's probably why Undertaker has been around so long, Vince just wont let him leave

No, he should have the honor of being one of the only guys to be inducted beforehand.

So chances are if he never got hurt in 2010 he'd probably still be a full timer. Regardless of his age his loyalty is unreal.
I still get chills when I rewatch his return as the dead man with the druids.
waking up a sleeping Undertaker was a grave mistake
I see what you did there
Taker's.
Would have been the greatest fast food chain..ever.
A man can dream...
That thing about 'Taker being Vince's bully boy and forming his own (k)crew makes sense when you think about how he was a professional leg-breaker before he became a wrestler.
Orton would have been so over if he did break the streak, which would have been fitting since he was still on the Legend Killer gimmick back then. Shame the streak was used on Lesnar, who is not getting any younger.
cause orton didnt want to end it out of respect for the undertaker
Has been and always will be the greatest thing to come out of the WWE.
IMO Undertaker was the best character in WWE. It's good to know Mark had some freedom in creating him - probably that's why he is as cool.
Even behind the scenes, The Undertaker is a badass!
i would sa he is more a badass behind the scenes than infront of the cameras
Am I the only one who wanted to see Undertaker VS Wade Barrett?
I love The Undertaker, but man I swear to god it will literally be like 2020 and he'll STILL be doing like hell in a cell, and I don't even know how that would physically be possible.
I love the undertaker .. he's my favorite :)

Shadow Heart thought I was the only one who wants it
Now that mark has retired from the ring im kinda hoping something like wrestlers court does come to the network even if it's fake stories and rivalries i just think it would be good unless taker becomes gm or commissioner of smackdown i honestly dont know what kind of public role he could take but i do know that talent he coaches are going to be some lucky bastards.
Matt Dunfee u
I still think Bray Wyatt breaking the streak would've been a good move for the future.... lesnar didn't need it... but it's over now.... -_-
+Clinton Peacock Wyatt needs to stay a jobber, he is not main event material
I think Shawn Michaels, Triple H Or Kurt Angle should of beaten the streak in my opinion
Mst3kfanatic1 a lot better than Roman Reigns... Wyatt can at the very least cut a decent promo
Mst3kfanatic1 He was Main event material when he faced Cena, got way over with the crowd but then got buried clean to Cena.
I agree! Wyatt should have broke the streak! My dream booking was Wyatt breaking on his first WM and going on to create his own WM streak
Taker's retirement will be marked as the saddest day in WWE history.
2nd saddest day? When the Streak ended.
Wow. So much newfound respect for one of my all time favorite wrestler, Undertaker is the GOAT.
10 more reasons why The Undertaker is the best wrestler who ever lived.
Only one man deserved to break the streak, and that was the Heart Break Kid Shawn Michaels.
Kane should have broke the streak Instead of Brock Lesnar
Right
did the wwe determine that outcome????
brock ending the streak
+Stewie Griffin or WWE released an article saying exactly what he said
Somebody that was/is a "lifer" should of ended it if that's what Undertaker wanted. Somebody that eats, drinks, and breathes the business. Maybe it's just me idk. Undertaker was always my favorite wrestler since 3 when I saw him back in 1990.
actually John Cena should've been the one in my opinion..John Cena is 1 win from tying Ric Flair's record for the most Heavyweight Championship wins-he has 15 Flair had 16..Just my opinion here
The way I see it, Undertaker is great for the business. He's great for the WWE.
anyone else baffled that kurt angle's book is 1 cent?
Lol yeah what? It just costs a cent?
push spooks the ghost lad
i dont even watch rasslin...but I have great respect for mark calaway aka Undertaker. He IS the american badass.
My respect multipled by a 1000 for the undertaker and I was a huge fan before this video
This video was posted 4 years ago. And the Undertaker is just now actually retiring. Incredible.
A real man's man.
Kane should've broken the streak. Better than brock.
Natalie Allen Kane, Bray, CM Punk, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Sting
Ryder should have broke the streak!!! Think of that push! Think what Ryder breaking the streak would mean! Ryder breaking the streak would literally give the RAW after the biggest TV rating a single show ever had
@@MyahUnleashed Taker wanted the "Legend Killer" (Orton 04) to beat the streak... The general idea is that an up & comer would be the streak and gain major heat
Taker offered the opportunity to Kane twice, but Kane outright refused the opportunity both times, he didn't want to break The Streak, he believed that opportunity should have gone to someone else, particularly someone younger whose career could make better use of the boost. Most of the guys Taker wanted to offer the opportunity to, veteran or otherwise, actually turned it down. And I honestly can't blame them, if I had ever wound up as a WWE wrestler (never would have happened, I'm just not built for it), and I were offered that opportunity, I would have respectfully declined myself. I think he'd offered the opportunity to guys like Batista, Orton, HBK, Kane, etc. but they all declined.
I can understand Taker wanting to have used his career with The Streak to give an up-and-comer's career a boost, but I can also understand why they would choose to decline the opportunity. The Streak was a huge part of WWE history, so I'm sure plenty of guys were either afraid of ending something as historic and legendary as The Streak (and thus, the possible backlash from fans being more detrimental to their career than ending The Streak would be beneficial), and others simply didn't want to end The Streak.
Anyone would be better than Lesnar
I don't know what it is but Adam is so good at voicing over these videos. Makes them so interesting
I want ONE LAST American BadAss appearance god damnit.
I lost it at "captain black-hat-smoke-and-fog". XD
You know,Mark is a good guy in general.his work inspired me to be a feared but a kind, respectful, and helpful person. I really appreciated his career and work in and out of stage.some time (probably 20s at least)I'll try to be the best WWE wrestler in the locker room.Thank you mark, keep fighting.😀
Undertaker hurt his ankle in the HIAC vs Mankind and almost retired?? MANKIND GOT THROWN OFF A FUCKING CAGE
Cisco Karpe 😄
he tore his acl like seth rollins and he had problems in his knee that time
thats why he was thinking retirement
Getting thrown off is kinnnnnnd of an understatement. He fucken threw himself off!!! Undertaker just gave him a little push haha
Be like the Undertaker and judge people to buy alcohol for you.
Undertaker is a class act he always did what's best for business
Undertaker. He's the man.
Done.
I remember when Taker came in first time with broter love. He had it from the first second.
some people were legitimately scared of him
One of the most Humble Person I ever seen and his stories about how he treats new Wrestlers are motivating.
I love that man!
Lesnar is one of the last people I wanted to break the streak.. Sure, he's "the beast" and the former UFC Heavyweight champion and all that but he didn't need it! It should of never ended tbh. He probably should have retired when he reached 20-0. I think if the streak would have ended, I'd say probably Bray Wyatt should have broken it because it's a passing of the torch and it just makes sense.
Technically the rub can still be given. Brock didn't get all the heat from the end of the streak. It was supposed to be Roman Reigns by transition when he would beat Brock clean for the title at Wrestlemania 31. That was the reason Brock broke the streak. I'm not saying it was the right decision, just that it was the reasoning.
I agree! I wanted Bray to break the streak in his first WM apperance then create his own streak... Too bad WWE decided to make Bray the biggest joke since Isaac Yankem
I love mark :) doesnt matter what storyline he is put in he is awesome.
To think that Undertaker actually had Wade Barrett in contention for breaking the streak!! Imagine where his career would've gone if that happened.
+Budman Not only that.. those guy seems are achiever..
Kurt Angle - Olympic Gold Medalist
Randy Orton - The true and former marine, many people think John Cena was...
Wade Barrett - bare-knuckle boxing champ
Mark Henry - Weightlifting champ
He seems pretty prefer to lose on the achiever and real tough guys...
+Nara Ken delos Santos bitch pls. Rendy orton pussyed out from being marine
+Nara Ken delos Santos You do know Randy Orton went AWOL, right?
KillDastY Ooooohh... there must be also a good reason why he wants Randy Orton break the streak...
+Budman Just hearing that pisses me off to no end. Barrett could have a been a huge talent, but now he's literally got one foot out of the door. Such a waste WWE.
i still would like to see a proper passing of the torch between taker and wyatt at mania.
phill burt fucking aye exactly what I said bray should of broken the streak how the fuck can't people see that.
plumpys nicknames for the undertaker are always priceless.
So one of his nicknames is.... WENDY!!!! I'm flattered and honored to say the least.
It's Heath Slater!
Adztar Dhansey
Edge and Christian, that's fucking hilarious
Worked a WWE show years ago, met a bunch of the wrestlers before they died, and since I was running spotlight, heard EVERY issue they had in real time. But it was before I left, coming down from spotlight, I turn the corner backstage and witness Undertaker in full gear, playing catch with a little kid. It was strangely sweet.
one word-Respect
So McMahon just watched for a minute while the Undertaker was choking Kurt Angle before stopping him? I find that thought to be hilarious.
Probably said something like "ooh kinky, taker is joining in"..... "Uhh, mark stop me and Kurt were just fucking. Please stop mark!"
Fuck HBK Undertaker is the GOAT in my opinion. His loyalty to the company his legacy his in ring ability at 50 something years old his streak his entrances the respect he receives behind the scenes and of course the level of epicness whenever he has any match and how much backstage speculation there is about his career and his personal life. No one touches Takers legacy and what he's meant to the industry absolutely NOBODY!
I dont like the people that say the streak should have ended. it shouldn't. maybe if WWE wanted it so badly Shawn Michaels should have broke it at wrestlemania 25 then undertaker beat him at wrestlemania 26 and have one final battle at wrestlemania 27
"I dont like the people that say the streak should have ended" SO then you don't like the Undertaker?
It should have been used to boost someone's career up.
agreed. shawn did not need to end the Streak, he was a legend already
In the Legends podcast with Steve Austin, JBL, Shawn Michaels, and Triple H in which they discuss the career of the Undertaker they talk about the incident in which Taker choked out Kurt Angle revealing more details about it making it far more grousome and bad ass. In the event prior to the plane ride the Undertaker's ear was caught in Austins Knee brace and was nearly torn off his head, with no time to waiste getting to the next venue basically Triple H and Austin were using towels to hold the Undertakers ear on for the entire flight so that a plastic surgeon could reattatch it when they arrived at the next airport. When Kurt and Vince began wrestling the Undertaker, already having lost a lot of blood and his ear barely hanging on was annoyed by Kurt and Vince's play so he jumped up and of course went after Kurt Angle to end it.
The idea of Undertaker waking up from a nap like in the list cracks me up. I can't help but picture he just sits straight up every time he wakes up similar to what he does in wrestling. So just imagine fighting near him and you suddenly hear his music start up while he sits up like Jason Voorhees. That's awesome.
It would've been pretty awesome if Barrett broke the streak in my opinion. He likely would've sky rocketed and became huge but now he's just gonna leave in the beginning of the summer.
