Thats the problem with the Undertaker at WM, you already know the ending of the match. Sure, they'll tease him losing each and every year, but you know he's going to win. Theres no losing at this point for him. He should have jobbed to Randy Orton at WM when Orton was known as the "Legend Killer." Orton got over on his own eventually, but it took years.
Don't get me wrong, I grew up in the 80s and 90s watching Taker. I was a fan and I still am...but they really should have let the streak go after awhile. I fully comprehend he's a tenured member of the roster, but many years he just shows up a few months before Wrestlemania...he's not a regular part of the roster and he doesn't show up at all the house shows, so what has the company gained the last 10 years from that? Why continue adding to the ludicrous streak and not use it to get over one of the new stars? Every other wrestler jobs out at the end of their career to get over the new talent, it's tradition and makes good business sense. A win over the Undertaker would do a lot for a young star's career.
Maybe I'm a little biased here, but I've grown irritated with "The Streak" the last several years. There were so many opportunities to end it and bring some unpredictability to the Undertaker WM match, but they blew it. After HBK jobbed to him at WM a few years ago, the 2nd or 3rd match he's lost to him there, I thought there could be an outside chance Taker would return the favor the next year in the rematch. Nope. I was kinda done at that point as that was HBK's last match and he pretty much beat up his body and put on a hell of a show in both of those matches. I didn't even bother to watch the same series with HHH the last two years. I'm sure both were good matches as HHH is a good worker in the ring, but I already knew the outcome and it just kind of killed it for me.
