It honestly felt like time stood still from the second count onwards for an eternity didn't it? It never ended, just an unholy mix of emotions, indescribable feeling of just absolute shock

Think about this...remember the rumor where Taker wanted to face Bryan at Mania? Now imagine instead of Brock/Taker and HHH/Bryan, the Authority tells Bryan that if he wants in the main event, he has to beat Taker first. I'd rather have seen that than Brock f***ing Lesnar ending the streak. Save HHH/Bryan for SummerSlam in a Title vs disbanding the Authority match.

3) Now the big one...did they end it so they didn't have to mention a certain guy who took his ball and went home? (I'd imagine if Benoit was one of his WM wins, it would have ended by 2008) I love how people always find a way to make everything that happens about CM Punk. Not that YOU yourself are doing that, it's just amusing that we can always find a way to tie it back to him. Triple H lost to Bryan because of PUNK! Bryan won the title because of PUNK! Taker lost the streak because of PUNK! Million Dollar Man bought the WWE toys because of PUNK! Steph wore those shorts because of PUNK! Paul Orndorff grew a Zeb mustache because of PUNK! Mr. T thanked his mother 72 times because PUNK! Seriously, not that I meant to invoke his name or anything, but given the pettiness that exists in wrestling sometimes, I couldn't help but ask.

I just don't buy Daniel Bryan being able to beat a guy with the size and credentials as Brock Lesnar.

Like the guy who officially retired Flair, breaking the streak is an albatross around one's neck, a cross one must bear, for the rest of one's life. HBK even said as much. HBK is the "Showstopper", the "Icon", and "Mr. Wrestlemania". He is a multipe time WWE Champ. However, he's also the guy that retired Flair. Lesnar can arguably be the best shoot/ work wrestler in the history of MMA. Now, he is the guy who ended the streak. He has to live with this. To Brock, this is a notch on the belt.

That is why I never liked the idea of a young guy or even Cena doing it. Now I never wanted it to end but if they wanted to do it, Lesnar is easily the best choice.

Puerto Rican street-fighter got MANHANDLED by this little pipsqueak in a gi named Marco Ruas. Things being as they are, it's still not without the realm of possibility for Bryan to beat Lesnar.

I didn't mind taker looking out of it. I just thought brock looked bored. He clearly had the upper hand most of the match, but he just looked like he was needlessly wandering the ring which killed most of the momentum.

He got the ever living crap beat out of him, still beat HHH, got beat up again, beat Batista and Orton after with HHH interference and being put through a table and stretchered out. Three guys...one night...31 championship reigns between them. But we're still supposed to believe Bryan toughing out a victory over Brock is insane talk.

I still think Undertaker being fragile killed this match. It just didn't seem like they could really do anything to make it more interesting for the crowd and it wouldn't surprise me if Brock was bored.

While I'm sad the streak ended and sad about the moron that ended it, the more I think about it, the saddest part is it ruined Bryan's night. That should've been HIS night and it completely f***ed that up. Terrible. It still was his night. The ending and the fans chanting yes, and the image of him on the desk with pyro going off in the background will live on forever.

And that will be the selling point if they face each other. Welcome to pro wrestling.

Another thing I want to say about the argument some have that a young guy should have defeated Undertaker...
Remember the last "young guy" who challenged Undertaker at Mania? It was Randy Orton at 21. And does anyone remember how people on THIS VERY BOARD were throwing a fit over the idea that this PUNK could break the streak? People want a young guy to get the rub, but not THAT young guy.

That should've been HIS night and it completely f***ed that up. Terrible. No, it didn't ruin Bryan's night. At the end the crowd popped HUGE and gave him an applause of Austin-like levels when he won the title. Bryan had his moment. The crowd went home happy and Bryan headlined one of the greatest Wrestlemania's in history.

I'm worried with all the "I'm done with WWE" Not by some smarks, but by some casuals fans who truly see this as the end of the attitude era and who doesn't feel like any of the newcomers is worthy. I wonder how many of there will be there? Or in the is still the same since they don't follow the product that much¡ That's why last night's WrestleMania was such a changing of the guard. For all the casual fans who tuned out after the Attitude Era ended and only come back for WrestleMania or to see Stone Cold Steve Austin or The Rock, the WWE showcased its next generation last night. They made two enormous stars in Daniel Bryan and Cesaro. Casual fans will look at those two, along with The Shield and Bray Wyatt and see that there is a future for the WWE. If casual fans who watched last night still think, "This product sucks, it was better in the Attitude Era, I'm done," then that is on them and not the WWE. Because the company went above and beyond last night in displaying how bright the future of professional wrestling is.

The ending and the fans chanting yes, and the image of him on the desk with pyro going off in the background will live on forever. While I agree that's an image that'll last forever, there will also be a huge shadow cast on that entire event. Most will probably remember it as the night the streak ended instead of the night Bryan finally won the big one.
