Do you seriously think if Undertaker goes 20-1 or 21-1 that "The Streak" would just be forgotten? It would be fucking stupid not to use this to make a new star. That is how the business works.

A lot of the time yes, but not everything has to be done just to get someone over.

I think people overestimate just how much the win would get someone over. Yes it would be a huge notch on their fake sport highlight reel, and the few months after would be huge for that person. But wrestling fans these days are fickle, and after those few months, the excitement would start to level off, and it would be business as usual.

What I'm saying is you don't need to break the streak to get a guy over, and it's not going to add enough to any superstar, to where it's worth breaking the streak.

Let the guy have his legacy. No, the streak wouldn't be forgotten if it was broken, but it wouldn't be quite as cool.

And as I said, wrestling fans are fickle. 10 years later, fans may not look at the streak breaker any different than the other main eventers throughout history. But Taker's undefeated legacy would stand the test of time.

You sold me.

Taker's last match doesn't have to be a Wrestlemania Streak match either.
