Then again I know some people consider that an epic moment and whatnot, but it's just meh to me. Taker should've retired before that, after his win against Triple H or HBK maybe. Ending Taker's streak when the guy's like 50 doesn't seem THAT impressive.

I think it did. It created a huge Wrestlemania moment for the WWE, and helped re-establish Lesnar.
After Lesnar swallowed the semen of both Overeem and Valasquez, the WWE had to rebuild Lesnar the right way. Hence - why they didn't give him the monster push when he initially came back here. They had to do things in such a way the implied that Lesnar had been sick for a number of years and only in 2014, was at 100% health again (and was basically the same UFC monster that he was between 2007-2009).
I think it works out tremendously that Taker's last match will be in Houston Texas, as it will give the WWE another Ric Flair type situation.
