Guest Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Unless Bryan ushers in a new era, Brock will be remembered the most for ending the Streak. Doesn't even matter if the match was lackluster. He already has, if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The D Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Unless Bryan ushers in a new era, Brock will be remembered the most for ending the Streak. Doesn't even matter if the match was lackluster. The point is that the focus is on The Undertaker because he lost, not on Lesnar because he won. Therefore, Bryan was more prominantly focused on at WrestleMania (which you simply cannot deny) and he will continue to be focused on because he's ushered in a new era, where as Brock is going home again.

Crazy. Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 But the focus is equally on Lesnar because he won, because he was THE one to end the legendary streak, to do the impossible. Undertaker lost, yes, and that is heavily focused on, but what about the very guy he lost to? When people think WrestleMania, the Streak is the first thing that comes to mind, and in any given number of years, people will look back and be reminded that Brock Lesnar was the one to end that monumental streak, to give them that feel when the ref made the three count which can never be replicated.

It sure as hell isn't the first thing I think of. Besides, I just don't think that people care that it was Lesnar that ended it (unless you're a kid who doesn't know it's scripted). Everyone else is just thinking about The Undertaker and the fact that he decided it was time. Brock was the right guy in the right place at the right time and nothing more in my opinion. Daniel Bryan has WrestleMania XXX entirely centered around him and his ascension to being THE guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy. Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 I don't even like the fact Lesnar ended the Streak, I would have always been against a part-timer getting that honor. Add to it, it was a crapfest of a match and Undertaker certainly deserved a better Streak-sendoff. But the streak was easily the biggest milestone in WWE, it was bigger than any title or any other accomplishment. I definitely agree WrestleMania was Daniel Bryan's night and will go down as the night Bryan cemented his status at the top, but he's not the first to do that and he won't be the last. Lesnar is the first to end the streak, and he would be the last and only one ever to get that recognition. Now whether you decide to look at it more as Undertaker losing is perspective, but it can't be denied Lesnar was THE guy in his own right, just like Bryan was in his own. He was THE guy who will forever go down as the man who ended the mother*censored*ing streak (its significance can't be undermined). That's huge.

M3J Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Unless Bryan ushers in a new era, Brock will be remembered the most for ending the Streak. Doesn't even matter if the match was lackluster. He already has, if you ask me. Too early to tell, IMO. Some were even complaining about him missing Raw because of his honeymoon.

The focus is on Brock because HE was the one who beat the Streak and was chosen to beat the Streak. Punk, Shawn, or Hunter never beat the Streak, and Cena was never chosen to wrestle Taker. It was Brock who was chosen to wrestle Taker and beat his Streak. So? Brock going home and being a part timer is good for ending the Streak. If it was someone like Cena, people would get tired and not care about him ending the Streak much. When Brock comes back, he will likely bring in ratings and money.

Counting Lights Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Lesnar will be remembered for this more. Bryan will be seen as the "big success" though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's just agree to disagree, otherwise we'll just be going around in circles and clearly neither of us are going to change our minds.

Crack. Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 What if Daniel Bryan beat the streak and after months and months of Big Show getting cheated by The Authority, he finally wins the title Which one would be remembered then, the streak.

Crazy.

Exactly Apples and oranges. You cannot possibly put a much past his prime Show in Bryan's shoes, because he had his success long ago while this was Bryan's 'star in the making' story. I personally agree Lesnar was the bigger success, but substituting Bryan with a 40+ Big Show, who should only be puting others over at this stage, to prove that theory is a weak example.

Poe Øhlin Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Lesnar easily. Bryan may have finally won the title, but ending the streak is something way more memorable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockstar™ Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Bryan's win potentially opened doors for many people, Brock's win means different things in different ways but I believe Bryan's win has the potential to be more visible in years to come.

Doesn't matter, End of an Era was shit but people still loved it. What matters is the outcome, and the outcome was that BRock ended the Streak. So, are you saying Bryan?
