Was Brock Lesnar Beating the Streak a Good Idea?

It has been more than a week since the streak came to an end at the hands of Brock Lesnar. Many people have mixed feelings about the streak ending with most of the feedback being negative. However, is the streak coming to an end as bad as people make it out to be?

People have different opinions about whether or not the streak should have ever been broken. I personally thought the streak should have ended. The other thing people have different opinions on is if someone up and coming or someone established should have ended the streak. I was on the side of having someone established end the streak because if someone up and coming were to end the streak we never know what would happen to him. If something were to happen to him it would cause the ending of the streak to be pointless.

Let's start with the build-up to the match. The build-up was bad. It did nothing to make anyone think that the streak could possibly end and did a bad job at making Lesnar look like a credible threat to the streak. Most of the build-up had Undertaker getting the upper hand on Lesnar. There were plenty of ways that the build-up could have been better. However no matter how good the build-up was people still would have given Brock no chance of winning which is probably why WWE didn't put much effort into the the build-up.

According to many people not only was the build-up bad but so was the match. Although I don't think it was as bad as some people say I do think the match was boring. So did the crowd that was mostly dead throughout the match. The dead crowd showed that the people were certain that Undertaker would win the match. So the shock of Brock actually winning was huge.

When the referee made the three count you could just see the shock on the face of every fan in attendance. The streak had been broken.

The shock of the streak ending would have been there no matter what, even if we knew it would be Takers last match. This match was more about the shock than it was about the match. Even though that is not a good thing it accomplished its mission.

Although I am not completely in love with Brock beating the streak I am okay with it. If Undertaker does come back and wrestles once again he can do it without the pressure of the streak.  If he doesn't come back to wrestle I am not to happy that this was his last feud. The Undertaker deserves to have a great match to end his career.

Brock wrestles more than Undertaker so he will probably lose more matches than Undertaker going forward. Which means people who beat the guy who beat the streak will get much more credibility. I don't think Lesnar beating the streak was a great idea but I think it was a good one.
