Many WWE Superstars weren't happy to see The Undertaker's undefeated streak at WrestleMania broken by Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 30.
During a recent episode of his Six Feet Under podcast, "The Dead Man" spoke about this subject, as well as the impact his streak had on WWE.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the episode where he touches on these topics with his thoughts.
On the impact his streak had on WWE: "Shortly after the [Ric] Flair match [at Wrestlemania 18], that’s when the streak really came alive. It really became special. There were guys that will tell you, and there’s still guys that would tell you like, ‘I don’t care if I’m the main event or not. I want the streak.’ It was such a huge attraction ‘Who is going to be?’ It gets up there 13-0, 14-0. It’s like, ‘oh, is this the guy that is going to beat the streak?’ I’m not the one to tout my own horn but on many occasions, it was as important as whatever the main event was. Is this guy the guy that’s gonna bust the streak? It was just a really special time."
On the backstage reaction to the streak ending: "Among fans, even amongst the talent because most of the guys were, they were pissed. They were like, ‘Man, The Streak shouldn’t have been broke.’ That’s the business. I don’t have any decision in that but a lot of the boys that were part of making that streak something, making it mean what it meant. They were like ‘Damn man, why are you taking away? Why are you taking away such a vital part of WrestleMania?’ It was like ‘This is as important as a title match.’"
