Incorrect. Cant look at it like a rule you have to look at it from the truth. You lay down because it's good business. It isnt good buisness to end the streak.

Making one of the most memorable moments in wrestling history is good for business.

'You don't leave a territory/retire/leave a promotion without putting the next man over'.


I don't know, I remember Taker shitting on people for not 'doing the job'. Now he's above it?


You know I have a profound level of respect for you Destor, but I have to call bullshit on this not being good for business. I mean, think about this from behind the curtain. What's the last lesson Taker can teach the entire Locker room in 30 minutes and three seconds? that NOBODY is beyond advancing the business, and the bigger picture is that the next star should be made by the current star.

it's not that *taker* is above it its that the streak is a very unique thing. nothing llike this has existed before and nothing like it ever will again. this has the potential to generate money decades after his retirement. you cant over look that. in wrestling i've always said this to guys training: "theres only one absolute rule in wrestling: there are exceptions to every rule. except that one." and its always true. there's always one situation that trumps otherwise absolute rules. the streak exists outside of the job rule. and its not for ego its the bottom line. theres too much money on the line to have him lay down, even if he wanted to i would hope they wouldnt let him.

Interesting wisdom. Very interesting. Don't let it be said that I don't understand the side of the argument that he shouldn't end the streak. I just think that a star could be cemented with a streak ending victory. I think that the right performer, under the right circumstances could make a magical bookend to the beginning and the ending of the streak.


I also feel that the more interesting question is who does TAKER think would be an amazing person to do the job for.


Lastly, I feel kinda sad to realize that Taker's only true legacy is the streak. Jeez, he's been around forever and all he has is the streak? None of his title runs have been that great. The only one i remember is the one that ended with Edge screwing Kennedy outta breifcase and cashing in on Taker after a steel cage match with Batista...loved that cash in.
