Hai again DTTS

Vince wanted more of an appreciation toward Taker, or so that is what is being said.

I, for one, do not believe that it should have ended. It will never be accomplished again, sure, but Lesnar gains nothing from it more than what he already was, IMO. He was already a badass and has beaten Taker in HIAC previously, so the thought was there. Like others, I believe it should have gone to someone that would benefit more from the rub, say Cesaro (granted he won and has Heyman backing now, so yea...), Reigns or even Sandow (if they learn to use him right). Fuck, I think it would make for a great segment of "BAD NEWS" and get Barrett back in the light.

I think the feeling is more of a "Oh, Lesnar ended it, meh." Personally, I wasn't upset that it ended or even that Lesnar ended it. I was more in shock that it was ended at all, but couldn't have cared less about Lesnar. It would have been more monumental for someone to capitalize on it that will be around longer. The whole vibe of WM XXX was almost "out with the old and in with the new". They could have had some new blood kill it, and that person could have moved on to be a badass submission machine.

Next Monday when Undertaker comes back to Raw we'll see a proper reaction. That said, what is the reaction they're going for? If they want to make the fans hate Brock even more, then have him challenge Undertaker to a retirement match at Extreme Rules or have him come out and gloat.

Paul Heyman needs to allow for the fans' hatred of Brock to boil over without getting too much of it on himself. Last Monday it was all, "I told you so" and then later in the night Paul Heyman comes out and gets cheered. "smart fans" love Heyman waaaay too much to get the kind of reaction that Vince supposedly wanted, if absolute hatred is what he wanted in the first place.
