Then what was the point of watching them if everyone knows he'd never lose and that beating him would then make all future Undertaker Wrestlemania matches mean nothing? Why even have an opponent since beating him would make his future Wrestlemanias mean nothing?

Did you have fun watching all the previous WM matches you knew he'd win, anyway? Did you think he'd just keep going until he was 100-0? Did you think he'd just retire quietly after winning his 24th or 25th? Can you imagine The Undertaker just retiring quietly? That would totally fit the character, right?

Part timers should not end part timers' wrestling streaks, then?

Do Reigns or the Wyatts really need a victory over The Undertaker on a specific day of the year (because he does lose at times on every other day) to define who they are at this point, though?

Two things to those who are upset because they don't think Lesnar deserved this win. Or three things because you're allowed to think he didn't deserve it, but keep these two things in mind..

-Many are upset because Lesnar is part time. Fine. But so is The Undertaker. The Undertaker has only been performing about once a year for a while, actually.

-Which leads to people thinking that The Undertaker has been wrestling for many years and is "allowed" to be part time and Lesnar hasn't "paid dues" (some even saying that Lesnar can't wrestle). Fair enough, but do you all really think that, though? It's fine if you do, but many seem to forget how on fire Lesnar was in the early 2000's (not even mentioning his amateur wrestling career before that and UFC success after that). Seriously, check out some of that old footage. You'll be amazed. He had great matches with everyone. He was like a 275 pound person that moved like Rey Mysterio. Even John Cena used to lose to Lesnar! And that recent thing where Mark Henry and Big Show suplexed off the rope and collapsed the ring.. Lesnar and Big Show did that first way before that. Angle and Lesnar had classic matches. I like the matches he had with RVD, too. And don't forget, Lesnar and The Undertaker were rivals back then and they were in PPV main events, so they have a history.

But unfortunately people only remember that last match with Goldberg and they judge his current performance based on that joke of a match. And that's fine. Have that "He left us fans!" mentality if you take it THAT personally. But it's not like this win over The Undertaker at WM was just given to some random nobody.

The Undertaker is also a PART TIMER. Not even that. A once a year timer.

Maybe The Undertaker doesn't want to look like Hogan. You know..how Hogan has barely been able to move for years yet he still does a 1980's style leg drop and wins unrealistically after the other person kicks his ass and does all the work until that point. Yes, 50 year old Undertaker is much more athletic than 50 year old Hogan was. Obviously much more. But he is also nearing retirement and gets quite injured, himself. It seems to take him nearly until next Wrestlemania to recover. Maybe he just wants to look believable and each year was getting more and more difficult and this was the year he finally let someone do it. Unlike Hogan who'd get an F5 and barely be able to move after that yet still win with his "YOU!" point and brittle leg drop schtick. Losing to Lesnar is kind of going out with dignity since he's probably near retirement. Someone had to beat him. Right? If he's going to keep wrestling at Wrestlemania it was to the point that he never loses so why bother even watching. Was he just going to announce a retirement after winning 22 times? 23 times? 24 times? The Undertaker is just going to retire? That doesn't seem like that character. Beating that character in his Wrestlemania "yard" is much more fitting than him just announcing retirement.

And if some are bothered by Lesnar winning because he's a part time wrestler, what has The Undertaker been for years?

Remember when people used to just watch TV? No one cared about what people were thinking at the moment that just had to be shared with everyone in blurbs that draw your eye away from the actual TV that is being watched and twitted about.

Kinky.

Eh, no reaction at all is more powerful in certain instances. If someone comes out to silence that means they're nothing. No one cares about them. Not worth booing because they become an unknown. Kind of embarrassing. A waste.

I know you're trolling, but come on.. You're implying that a wrestling legend in the WWE hall of fame who made few television appearances was directly responsible for keeping Paige off TV. No one said you can't be a fan o Paige.

I know you're just trolling, but come on.. You imply that Mae Young, a wrestling legend in the WWE hall of fame who made very few television appearances, was directly linked to Paige not being on TV. No one said you can't be a Paige fan.
