I hear you, but consider this:
1) IF Taker doesn't end his streak at some point, do you think it will serve the business in any way?
2) Given the lack of promising talent that we've seen coming up in the WWE (i.e. young guys hitting that main-event level and staying there), combined with the pressure that would be on a guy if he ended Taker's streak, my guess is that it *WOULDN'T* be in the WWE's best interest to have Taker's streak be ended by a guy like.......oh I dunno, Drew McIntyre or Kofi Kingston. If a young guy is going to end Taker's streak, he NEEDS to have a legit chance of becoming the next Steve Austin or The Rock.....I'm dead serious.
Sometimes - unilateral 'jobs' can be just as efficient. When Austin jobbed to The Rock at WM 19 for instance, it helped further cement The Rock's legacy. What if Austin had jobbed to a guy like Brock Lesnar for instance, only to have Lesnar leave for the NFL? Austin's job would have been meaningless.
