You're not risking selling any merchandise.
Taker has to retire at some point. When he's wrestled his last match, you release a DVD of his 25-0 streak or whatever it is. It still happened. Even if he lost his 26th, he still went 25-0, it's the greatest streak in wrestling history and you don't lose a shitload of money because he didn't win the 26th match.
Like Hanso said earlier, Dimaggio's hitting streak is not fucked up because it ended. It was a monumental streak. Just like Taker's will go down as NO MATTER WHAT. No one is gonna say "Aww, fuck. Not gonna buy that DVD commemorating Taker's 25-0 streak because it ended."
If you wanna worry about someone throwing their career away after taking the streak, okay... you gonna worry about that every time you push someone? If you are, give it to a guy who's already established that you trust (which I actually kinda want them to do anyway). You make money off the fact that you just produced maybe the biggest moment in wrestling history.
