HBK should also not be the guy to end Ric Flair's career, but that's likely what's going down. The 1990's seems like water under the bridge to me now. The two seem to come up with greatness whenever they work, and I think that would be more important to The Undertaker than remembering something from the 90's.

I can not, for the life of me, understand any good that comes from keeping the streak alive. The only person it could possibly benefit is The Undertaker, and if he retires with the streak, not even he gets anything. He'd be done, so it's not like he can use it.

The streak is not The Undertaker's legacy. Being one of the best big men in the history of the business is; having one of the most infamous gimmicks in professional wrestling is. The streak is one of his finest achievements, yes, but as I said, that's not going to disappear with a loss. Goldberg's winning streak didn't instantly fade with a loss. He still had 173 wins on his record, or something like that. The Undertaker will still be something ridiculous like 16-1. Hell, he could keep wrestling if he wants to. Who says Taker's career needs to end with the streak?

Undertaker's success at WrestleMania was not even really documented until WrestleMania X-7, anyway. I think that would have made 8 WrestleManias where no one really picked up or cared that Taker had not lost at the event.

Besides, this is a fictional, perpetual business. The goal is to make money. Why don't we just have Ric Flair go over Randy Orton and retire WWE Champion while we're at it? It can be his "legacy." Guys need to go out on their back to establish new people in their place. The Undertaker should really put someone over at WrestleMania, so the decades he spent in the business do not end up meaning nothing, because the guys hanging around in his place look like jokes.
