Referee Chad Patton did not know that The Undertaker would be losing to Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania XXX. He was told Taker was winning but the rule every referee is told is that if the guys don't kick out, you continue the count. Right after the match ended, Lesnar whispered in Taker's ear, "Thank you."

Apparently the decision to end The Streak was finalized on March 31st. Only a few people knew the outcome before WrestleMania Sunday. The group of people that knew were most likely Vince McMahon, Taker, Lesnar, Paul Heyman, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. None of the agents were aware. The actual script for the show did not have a finish listed but this didn't raise any red flags because that's not unusual for WrestleMania and it wasn't the only match that didn't have a finish listed.

Whether or not The Undertaker is done, Vince was going on the assumption that this was his last match and he could either win or lose. McMahon chose the idea that it's better to lose on your way out. One person close to the situation said Vince talked Taker into losing. Another person, who would also be in the know, described it as Vince making the call and Taker agreeing, and that he wasn?t talked into doing something he didn?t want to do. Losing was not Taker's original decision but he was in on it and never protested the decision. Perhaps, like he thought in 2010, if he was going to lose, maybe he thought Lesnar was the guy to lose to.

There were many people within WWE very unhappy about The Streak ending but couldn't say so publicly.

Well, didn't expect to get a TNA spoiler on the thread today; at least someone else here watches it or just bothers to read the results! :laugh: It definitely smacks of being a copycat, but ###### it, I'm glad Eric Young's finally got the world title, even if it lasts for just a week, he got his well-deserved turn in the spotlight.

Spoiler? It aired last night?

 

Also: NXT is still better.

And I hadn't watched it yet. We classed anything from WrestleMania as a spoiler for the day after, so why not that as well? :p

That's why I didn't enter the thread until I had seen stuff...always the best bet don't enter until seen!

Yep, I was definitely a fool for thinking TNA would be safe. :P I won't make the same mistake with ROH, although saying that, I still haven't seen Supercard of Honor VIII. I'm gonna guess nothing really happened though.
