Did Brock Lesnar shoot on The Undertaker at Wrestlemania 30? Let us know in the comments below.
He really is a master oral narrator.
Paul heyman is just creating intrigue..... he's one of the great story tellers.
You really always giving your own comments a like and a heart 💀💀💀💀
Clearly not or he would of been sued
Heymans so talented he’s worth every dollar as a performer he’s so damn entertaining.
Paul spoke for 6 minutes straight & didn't say anything .
That's actually impressive .
I know this was years ago, but after the interviews of taker and lesnar expressing of mutual respect for each other over the years, this is Paul blowing smoke up people’s asses. This is probably the side of Paul Steph had to put up with all those years on Smackdown.
@@exdeus5940lol true but steph is not exactly easy to deal with herself
@@richdude8150 yes, but that’s a given. Like everyone else, I thought Steph was holding back heyman all these years. But he seems to be his own worst enemy at times. Remember the bubba ray story when Paul told him to wait for a fedex from him; bubba asked him what the tracking number was, Paul gave it to him, bubba called back saying the number didn’t work and Paul said something to the effect of add two more zero’s to the tracking number.
He's one of the biggest bullshitters in the history of wrestling. How else do you think he got guys to dive through tables on concrete and mutilate themselves in ECW without even a guarantee they would be paid at all? Some of them owed thousands and kept doing the shit. Bubba Ray Dudley said it best. "Paul Heyman is a genius but, he's also a devil."
This is why we love that bastard. He can make nothing sound absolutely awesome 😂
Paul Heyman is one of the greatest talkers in the history of pro wrestling. His ability to speak and to blur the lines of reality are second to none. He is absolutely a living legend.
reminds me of ricky jay (RIP)
It’s crazy how quiet that audience is. You can see every single person invested in every word he’s saying.
It's cool for a while but after a while just be 100
@@Piznick64agreed, i never know if he's bs'ing, elaborating or both
Just HISTORY
I can listen to Paul talk without end. I know he's screwing with the audience but it's just so much fun that it doesn't matter and the slightest little bit of "not knowing for sure" is 100% what Kayfabe use to be all about. One of the best workers in the business.
This is a much more memorable way to tell the audience "Conspiracy theories about kayfabe are pointless because we can change the reality to whatever suits us as we go."
@@Phyrre56 Good point but it does take a really good storyteller. I wish the younger generations could experience what the Kayfabe days were like because it dramatically altered the experience. There was gravitas and stakes in matches. It can still be done today and it is done today but not as much. Anyway, good point.
Why is his gimmick now so over the top silly with Roman
No-one acts like that 😂
@@Phyrre56in that case. way to copy dude... less memorably of course
Hey Ain't Lying
Just rewatched it. They had the 21-1 graphic ready. He's fucking with us
Exactly, it’s like having a 22-0 graphic ready to go but it’s not gonna happen so why waste your time making it?
You do know they make multiples just in case. Much like how they made NBA champion jerseys way in advance for the team to wear.
@@gqn2 just incase what? The outcome is predetermined.
@@maximumrelaxation4770and they also change things at the last minute often. Decisions can get changed literal minutes before a match/segment.
@@maximumrelaxation4770things happen. Not every match has ended with the scripted finish. And making a 22-0 graphic would literally be as simple as changing two numbers.
That Vince impression was spot on 😂
It's all in your mind
You got that right pal
Just draw me money 😂 his impressions are so spot on 😂
100%. I died 😂
❤❤❤
This was all recorded before the Undertaker retired and gave a billion interviews.
Paul is a genius. He's great at blurring the lines
He's a cancer
gotta do what needs to be dun
Eh, everyone knew they both respected each other. If he did spoke that way about Brock’s match with orton or cena, that would make so much more sense.
Heyman is just GOLD on the Mic. The dude could talk for hours about Paint Drying and people will hang on every word listening to every second. The guy is just Legendary....
Before Brock hit the final F5, You can see him whisper to Taker that this was it. They went along with the script.
It was planned for Taker to lose to Brock.
But Heyman has a point if Brock said Im gonna win screw it it would put WWE in a tough spot.
Bro we know. Heyman is fucking with us. That’s what he does.
@@degen83no they wouldn't. Brock would have been fired on the spot.
@@kingeatking and then what?
@@mikemike7139 I presume he would go home...........
Heyman is a BS artist
Emphasis on the artist
@@ronethegreat9genius
Lol you fine the shit out of Brock Lesnar. A HUGE fine would have happened. They all knew it was going to happen. You don't go off script and beat something Vince has been working on and not get punished somehow.
Paul Heyman is an evil genius.
Of course, the big hole in the theory is the fact that they had a 21-1 graphic ready. But Heyman is a great actor.
This right here is the tell all of this whole ordeal. Heyman a great story teller tho
Technically, they can just create 22-0. It's not a big deal.
Making graphics is not that hard to come up with. Super easy and quick
@@damikey85 Yes, but they don't have software for that just sitting in the production truck.
@@TheJaguar1983 that’s a multibillion dollar corporation. I highly doubt they would have any kind of software 😫
There is not another person in wrestling history who can shoot, tell a story, work, or carry Kayfabe like Paul Heyman. Not. A. Single. Person. This man told the truth in one of those two stories and we do not know what to believe. Another blurry line presented by the ring's greatest verbal manipulator to ever step through the ropes. Paul Heyman is a LEGEND.
Facts
Lol it’s pretty obvious which one is treu
@@deanadomaitis3663yeah it’s obviously the one where brock broke the script and destroyed the undertaker
The Undertaker found out right before the match that the streak was ending. Brock did not shoot win.
You are on some good drugs if you think Vince didnt include AND ask Mark if it was okay to end the streak. Mark himself said he handpicked Brock to do it (which I think was a terrible choice)
@@alexrompen805taker did not handpicked brock to beat the streak, it was Vince's idea. taker said as well that brock didn't need the win since he's already an established man. taker just went along with Vince's idea since vince thought that it was best for business (which really wasn't)
Heyman loves to tease and toy with the audience, but the truth is it was all planned out and the 4 of them (Heyman, Lesnar, Undertaker, McMahon) were all very well aware that it was ending. They should've kept the streak unbeaten. That would've been the right move for Undertaker's legend and his legacy. However... that's not Vince McMahon's style. He always knew the streak would eventually have to be broken. He just never found the right time or the right person to do it. But by the time the streak ended, it was too big and too legendary to ever be acceptably broken by any one person. That's why it was a terrible decision.
Simple answer.
Maybe they couldn't fire Brock if it went down that way.
There would be nothing stopping them from firing Heyman though.
They would absolutely have fired Brock if that actually happened.
@@alexrompen805 Well yes, but I think you're missing my point.
@@alexrompen805then Brock Lesnar would get a hefty bag from AEW when they get big enough to offer him. He beat the WWE streak and left, broke the script but still gains the reputation. And Paul Heyman wouldn’t be responsible but he’s needed for Brock’s character. It’s a believable story but only the Graphics of 21-1 or Undertaker not fighting back a bit are the only holes in the story.
@@EasilyPullingUpFromDeepPaul was obviously messing with us. 😂 They had the 21-1 graphic ready after the pinfall. Plus I believe Brock has too much respect for Taker to do something like that
Taker didn’t even try to kick out and the ref literally said “ring the bell it’s over.”
Likely had no music to sell the moment. This couldn’t have been more planned.
This is funny, but pure non-sense.
Stuff like this illustrates what being great on the mike and cutting a promo is all about.
Nah, part of the script.
Brock's the only one during that time that was qualified to take the streak.
I agree with that. The finish was flat though. I'd like to think they had a more exciting way to finish match in mind.
@@gammasmash1924 Brock didn't want to do it so you never know how it may have caused him to act.
Hbk should have ended it
@@stevenhaymon2441Brock doesn't respect alot of people so that tells you the type of guy taker was
WWE had the titantron with 21-1 already prepared 😊
Doesn't explain the 22-1 graphic that was on all the screens in the arena cued up. This is purely BS.
Facts they had those graphics made before the show taker said Vince had him going over then changed the decision like 10 minutes before the match which means that Vince always intended to have Brock go over the whole time he jus didn’t wanna tell taker that
You can make those graphics in less than a minute. Those graphics could be made by a freshman in beginners computer graphics lmaoo
The graphics were clearly made to fool fans
@@georgealvarez1195 Can't even get the interface up in less than a minute.
@@pkizzlebeatsare you living under a rock? This is an old video. Taker talked about this after he retired and explained the whole thing. Stop trying to play with your CSI bullshit.
Lol. Paul has always been one of the best story tellers! Like, no one paints pictures with his words like Paul Heyman!
I'm glad WWE've got Paul Heyman around. He's cool as fuck!
I'm a firm believer that Taker should have kept his streak. He doesn't have accolades like Ric Flair where he held a ton of titles and he isn't great on the mic like The Rock.
He was the real Mr. Wrestlemania and it should have stayed that way.
Not too mention losing to a 40 year old part timer was not good booking.
I'd rather know why are these videos being re-released on UA-cam? I remember watching this like 3 years ago
So do I. Finding this with a lot of you tube videos recently. They are making out there recent by re-releasing them years after already being out.
Thought the same thing
So basically Brock went into business for himself at Wrestlemainia when he broke the streak by going off script, yeah I kinda figured that WWE wouldn't legitimately approve that and they actually thought it would be best for business, yeah If Paul really thinks we're that stupid then he's so wrong. Personally if there was a wrestler worthy of breaking the streak it should of been CM punk or Shawn Michaels because their wrestlemainia matches with Undertaker were far more memorable and epic.
Needless to say when Goldberg obliterated Brock at Survivor Series in less than 2 min I could not of been happier.
Nobody really cares or remembers Brock Lesnar snapping "the streak" anyway.
Brock Lesnar is the greatest WWE wrestler in WWE history. Roman Reigns is the greatest joke in WWE history. Brock Lesnar did something that people have been working on trying to break for more than 20 years. Roman Reigns has not accomplished anything. John Cena is tired with Rick Flair 16 with WWE World Heavyweight Championships, and that is why we call John Cena is the greatest of all time. John Cena has faced the WWE wrestlers that built WWE business. Roman Reigns has been facing legends that are no longer in their prime.
Didn't Brock said, "thank you Mark" during the pin?
Paul is SO full of it. They didn't play the music intentionally, AND they slapped that 21-1 graphic up VERY quickly. Also, he oversold his reaction to the point of it being comical. If Brock did a shoot he'd be scrubbing toilets at WWE HQ for the rest of his contract. Mark was asked by Vince to do the job and give the rub, and he did it. PERIOD!
This guy is obnoxious. Way too drawn out, way too laborious. I understand he thinks he’s being dramatic, but it just dragged on way too long.
Also, it’s not clear what he’s even saying. So, the four of them knew Undertaker was going to lose. But there was actually a conspiracy where Brock decided he wanted to win and was going to make it inevitable and boxed the WWE into a corner where he couldn’t get punished for it. Huh? Then how did they all know Undertaker was going to lose? If he couldn’t make that clear, maybe he should’ve tried explaining instead of all these obnoxious theatrics.
Love Paul Heyman. But kayfabe is all but dead. Is anyone actually buying that the UNDERTAKER didn't know he was going to lose at WRESTLEMANIA? Right 😂😂😂. Not a single chance of that being true
He already gave an interview before saying that Vince and Undertaker chose Lesnar to be the one to do it.
Was Hayman visiting Suplex City the cause of the stroke induced speech impediment that makes him draw out the last syllable at the end of every sentennnnncccceee?
He’s a millionaire and still hasn’t paid back the wrestlers he owes $ to.All those guys that worked for him for free having their checks bounced in the last days of ECW. He has enough $ to settle those debts.
I think the undertaker was simply knocked out which he was not supposed to and that's why he got pinned.
I believe the latter. But then again it's hard to tell. Because Paul is just so damn good at swerving people into believing one thing and it being another. But i believe it to be the latter scenario that played out.
THATS HOW PAUL BECOME THE MOST POPULAR SUCCESSFUL MANAGER OF SPORTS AND WWE HISTORY🏳️WE ALSO KNEW IT BTW ITS GONNA BE 21-1 AHAHA
What would happen? Well one time Cena and Batista were the last two in the royal rumble and accidentally both fell out and landed at the same time. Yeah, that wasn’t supposed to happen. And what happened was Vince McMahon walked out to settle it, then tore both his legs trying to get in the ring😂
Lesnar being the one chosen to end the streak was one of the worst booking decisions
It also makes the most sense though. The ones who needed the status of beating the undertaker to elevate themselves couldn't have made it legitimate enough to be believable at the time.
@@noahchampagnejr5688 That’s just false bud. Multiple people have been offered the chance to end the streak. Edge was offered but said no. Build the story and the feud right and it could have been someone that WWE could see long term being their next big guy. Brock didn’t deserve that feather in his cap. It didn’t elevate him at all. He didn’t need it.
@@seanm9823 That's the problem though: they couldn't decide who they wanted to be the next face of WWE at the time so nobody was really being built to be it yet, and Vince apparently really wanted undertaker to lose at WrestleMania. I agree that they could've built a feud and make it someone else, but unfortunately it was Vinny's decision to make and it wasn't really that great in the long run.
@@noahchampagnejr5688 This. The length of The Streak is the most most viable criticism of it as a storytelling device. By the time it came to possible ending it, the WWE suffered a lack of top end, young talent. The younger crop wasn't ready to build off a win, and other veterans (Brock, Orton, Cena) were too established to really get a huge momentum push for it. This is the best argument for not ending the streak at all, not because "it just doedn't feel right, man..." Vince was determined to use the streak to build the next dude, and he didn't know how much time he had left to do it so he fired his shot, then used Brock as the bridge to the next brass ring bearer, so to speak.
It was an appalling decision. Brock was about the least deserving person imaginable to end it. He also didn’t need it. With that said, Taker should have hung it up after his four year Wrestlemania feud with HBK and HHH. He should have gone out on top.
Definitely fucking with us. Michael Cole didn’t hesitate to announce the Streak was over the nanosecond the ref hit three.
The ready-to-go graphic said 21-1; not 22-0.
Vince could fire anyone he wanted and have Heyman spin it on Raw as, “He came, he saw, he conquered, he’s home with his feet up drinking beer and savoring his victory. No need to come back…. cuz his job is done.
Ref likely saw Mark’s condition and signaled for them to go home earlier than planned because continuing would’ve been disastrous for Mark’s health and well-being.
Heyman is likely letting us in on a private conversation Brock had with him when he first found out about the match….. and maybe the original finish WAS for Taker to go over….. and maybe Brock convinced Vince it was time to end it.
Reason Leanar won is because he cried and complained to Vince for months that he wanted to win. On the day of the match Losner said that if he didn't win he was gonna walk out of WWE and back to UFC.
People laughing at every word of Heyman for no fucking reason.
Hands down, that little Jewish kid it the BEST story teller in the history of the business!
Of course he is fucking with us undertaker he self said 4 hours before the fight Vince told him Brock was going to win
At the beginning of this video I thought “he’s not going to say anything” and sure af I was right
This is just him fucking with us. 😅😅 Everything is plan.
No, the theory is not plausible. Brock respect The Undertaker too much to do that to him
It's not hard to tell that Paul's father was a lawyer.
This conspiracy theory doesn’t make much sense with Brock being a pro and having respect for Taker. But what actually makes sense is the possibility that Undertaker got concussed and couldn’t kick out.
Also, we know that it’s not just as simple as ‘taking him to Suplex City and then hoisting him up for an F5…’ The Undertaker has to allow him to execute the suplexes and would know if Lesnar was deliberately trying to knock him out. At the point he would just refuse to play ball.
Lesnar is a beast but he’s still not going to just rag-doll the Undertaker and knock him out if he’s not going along with it.
Asif brock would go into business for himself against the undertaker of all people the locker room leader since the 90s, none of the boys would work with him ever again
And if you look it up, The Undertaker claims in an interview after he retired if I remember correctly. That he knew Brock was going to win, but he (Undertaker) didn’t believe that Brock needed it to boost his (Brock) career. Since Brock already had already made a name for himself (Brock).
And then Cena pretty much confirmed it while during an interview himself. Mentioned that the reason he lost to Brock after breaking the streak. Was to give Brock validation for beating the streak.
Yea pretty much bro
Taker said he would of waited one more year and let the Roman beat the street
If the Script called for Taker to win and Lesnar went off script, it would have been the end of Lesnars Career. While he is physically imposing and impressive, there is few people that have the backstage power of Taker. If Taker says something happens in WWE, it does. He is the best friend of the big boss, and without a shadow of the doubt the most respected Wrestler of the last 30 Years. So yeah, Lesnar could have had his way even if Taker wasnt on Board, but after that he would never have stepped foot into a WWE ring ever again.
You cant just bury the wrestler who broke the most important streak in the history of the company
It would have really put WWE in a tough spot
That's Heyman telling a tale trying to blur the lines of fiction and reality and I'll give him that, he did a great job there, think it through though, if what Heyman says is true about Lesnar going into business for himself on something as BIG as him ending Taker's streak, WWE would have never worked with Lesnar again and they would have buried him at some point just like they did Warrior in that "self destruction dvd" back in 2005.....@@pepewr
Paul Heyman is one of the best crowd workers in the business. We're all mesmerized by him essentially saying "sure would be interesting, huh" and giving no definitive answer.
Heyman is cold as ice, ether way the streak shouldn't have came to a end like that, the man was knocked out halfway through the match unfair victory if you ask me...
Sheesh man. Paul Hayman knows how to tell a story.
Why did Undertaker go to the hospital?
I have to be honest, I was one of those people who really looked down on pro-wrestling. I always loved it as a kid but when I got to my late teens, I just sort of phased out of it. That was about twenty years ago. This year I started watching again. I’m not even sure how or why. But, I think I get it, and I certainly appreciate it far more than I did throughout my twenties and early thirties. It used to be real to me when I was a kid. But it was also surreal, in a way, because I didn’t appreciate the consequences these guys deal with on their bodies and minds. For anyone who says it’s all fake and stupid. So are movies, so are plays, so in the opera, so are TV shows, and the circus is too. It’s about the performance and the show. And wrestlers put on great shows, and they perform with every ounce of their being. I actually think the people who get pro-wrestling are in on the joke, and on a higher plain than people who don’t get it. But the people who don’t get it, ironically look down on the people who do, where as the people who do get it don’t look down on anyone. They just want to enjoy their show.
Totally agree with you. Watched it as a kid, fell out of love for it when I discovered it was scripted but started rewatching like 2 years because of the storylines. These guys really go to great lengths to entertain us and I appreciate them for that.
Good take bro
@@adetunjichristopheroyewusi1887 I always say, it's so stupid, it's awesome. It's hard to really describe. The commitment is what I always get a kick out of. Like watch the promo they did where Austin sprays the Corporation with beer. Just watch Vince. Or when The Rock sticks Mr. McMahon's face in Rikishi's rear end. The level of commitment is just wild. That is not even to mention guys like Mick Foley, Jeff Hardy, Edge, and so many others.
Same bro sameeeeeeee
same here man. except ive never been a fan of it. ive never watched wwe and always clowned people who did watch it because it was 'fake". but just about a month ago i decided to watch wrestlemania rhodes vs reigns and man im instantly a fan. i am counting down the days to wrestlemania 40
I’m so happy that I’m old enough to REMEMBER almost everything he talks about 😆😆😆 Good times man…good times
A 2016 video about a Wrestlemania that happened in 2012 in 2023.
*2014
Undertaker losing the streak and not retiring was one of the biggest mistakes ever.
OMG.... that Vince impersonation is incredible! lol..... I think he is just fucking with us honestly... from everything I've heard about Brock as a wrestler and as a person, with the respect he had for Mark, unless Mark himself personally told him before the match to do it, I don't believe he would have done that.
paul heyman is still playing his character his whole life.
Working the crowd
Total bs
The truth is in the middle, i do believe Vince and Taker wanted the streak to continue but Lesnar was having none of it so he convinced Vince to give him the streak if he wants him to fight otherwise he might've told him "imma win anyways it's up to you" and what Heyman is displaying as the possible consequences of Brock doing his thing makes 100% sense that he could well do that. In fact there is a clip of Brock and Taker behind the scenes right about to make entrance to the ring where Brock tells Taker not to worry about it and that they will make him get a "comeback" of the character in the future of the business or some shit like that and taker just nods but he doesn't look convinced at all but simply accepts it. In fact i Taker always says in interviews that the streak obviously would have to come to an end eventually, but he also always says that Brock did not need that in his career, as he is already a very decorated fighter of the industry, and that perhaps someone else could've benefitted more from conquering the streak in his place. And i totally agree, Brock's win was indeed shocking, but somewhat anticlimactic, i would've preferred a "good" guy with maybe a sad storyline to be the one that "did the impossible" in the face of his adversities. That just works better from a writer's perspective.
edit: While thinking about all of this, something else came to my mind: perhaps, just maybe, after Vince got blackmailed by Brock into submission "or else", Vince didn't take at full heart, and perhaps he told Heyman to throw this little piece of trivia in interviews if he ever gets the chance, but also to keep it lowkey and like "in character" so that it's not obvious but that winks an eye to the people that were interested in the streak.
Nah, Taker knew right before the match started. Vince came to him and told taker about the match finish change.
I just went back and watched the ending of the match because he got me curious. Heyman is f'ing with everyone. He's so good though. Absolute genius.
Anyone who believes that intentionally beating undertaker theory is dumb lol
Salesman live by ABC: Always Be Closing.
Heyman lives by ABW: Always Be Working 😂
Nothing in this world has more magic than the mouth of a Jew
Speaking of. How's your mom doing?
They'd made a graphic for the 21-1. It was scripted. I love Paul Heyman but. He's just fucking with us 😶
The delayed music could have been just let it sink in so people could get a chance to appreciate and react among themselves, with maybe even vince mcmahon in the back telling the sound guys exactly when to hit the music.
People say "oh if Brock got fired he'd just get a payday from AEW" but fail to realize a company may not be so quick/eager to scoop up a wildcard that can upend everything on a whim like that (& pay for the privilege no less). Huge liability on a few crucial levels.
Yes we DO know the truth Pauly, look at the cameraman, and everyone involved except Oswald. They come from a special little group of small hat wearing people that even Christ called the Synagogue of Satan (Rev 2:9, Rev 3:9)
If Paul Heyman is speaking, he is fucking with you, because he is the absolute master of fucking with people. Whether that is a good thing or a bad thing is up to you, and depends entirely on the situation
Basically Had to wait For Taker to get older to beat him 🙌🏾 couldn’t even whoop Big Evil era Taker #pause
how come they showed 21-1 then? Seconds after the pin?
Well, the ref did count to 3, he did raise Brack’s hand, and Brock’s musoc did play. So obviously the ref, and sound tech knew. There’s no way in hell it wasn’t planned. 🤦🏻
@Mark_Takagi I guess I'd have to watch it again, but I don't believe for a second that it didn't go exactly as planned. As soon as it ended, I definitely remember Cole saying "the streak... is over". Then there was a 21-1 graphic on the big screen. Someone obviously prepared that graphic ahead of time. This is WWE. Everything you see is 99.9% micromanaged by Vince (in that timeframe)
@Mark_TakagiI mean Brock Lesnar and Taker are very good friends and he has great respect for Taker so it did not go down like that, it obviously scripted because Vince wanted to push Brock as the next unstoppable monster heel, if Brock went off script and ended the streak Taker would not take too kindly to that at all and would have most likely revealed that in one of his many interviews in recent times.
yep, the music didn’t play immediately for a good 20 seconds after Brock pins Taker. All we would heard is the sound of disbelieve among WWE fans in attendance and Paul says “OMG, you did it”. Brock was like almost stunned after that.
@@faizhakimzain8339 they most likely did that to enhance the effect of the shock of the whole thing. (delated the music)
@@faizhakimzain8339 I just watched it again. The ref's count was actually kinda fast... just an observation, but to me, that also tells me the ref knew.
Lesnar is too much of a professional to actually do something so stupid. It was not a good idea through... Undertaker should have retired unbeaten. They didn't do themselves a favor trying to push Lesnar...who was already elite in every level.
Vince McMahon, himself, got fired however, Paulie's snake-tongue is too damn charming
Paul is like Stan Lee of the Business and Vince is Jack Kirby but on the opposite side Vince is a Billionaire....
Vince was not a genius, people around him were.
It's a cute story but everyone knows Brock and Undertaker are good friends and Brock isn't going to intentionally hurt him and get a result against his will just because he wants to (he'd have no real motive anyway, he's already a multi-millionaire and super successful)
Not to mention, I don't care how famous someone is or how newsworthy it is, if someone went off script and forced a win when they weren't supposed to, Vince would fire them, the other wrestlers would jump them and beat their ass, and it would not end well.
ESPECIALLY....someone as loved as the Undertaker.
The conspiracy br mentioned makes no sense. It was Vince's idea for Brock to win. How could wwe fire Brock if it was Vince's idea for Brock to win 🤷
Only a super-mark who doesn't know the business at all believes Brock went off script and "beat" The Undertaker against his will. I remember the goofy conspiracy theorists going off on this in the days and weeks that followed The Streak being broken. All of them completely ignorant to the very obvious facts that anyone the least bit inclined to how the business works can easily see: Brock calling the Tombstone-into-F5 reversal spot for Undertaker, as he had suffered a legit concussion in the match and was on queer street the rest of the way. Undertaker fully cooperating with every movement of said spot with zero resistance. Then Brock hooking the leg after the F5 in typical work fashion and a conscious Undertaker laying prone, not at all attempting to kick out when he could've easily gotten his shoulder up. The entire sequence couldn't have screamed WORK any harder.
Paul is being Paul here for entertainment purposes, but there are some people who still actually believe Undertaker was beaten against his will at WM30. Laughable.
He's f**king with you. Paul didn't even know Brock was going over until the day of WrestleMania because Undertaker has gone on the record saying he was supposed to go over but Vince changed his mind the day of. Fun story but completely false.
Damn this dude is good... If story telling is an art, he's Picasso. What would any of these wrestlers be withoit Paul freakin Heyman?!!
Knowing what I do about The Undertaker, Brock Lesnar & Paul Heyman, I'd say the _Real_ truth is somewhere in between.
I think Undertaker _Was_ supposed to win, but when he got knocked out, 1 of 2 things happened:
1) Lesnar made the _Respectful_
executive decision to finish the
match in a clean & decisive
manner for the fans _And_ to
protect Undertaker from any
further damage.
2) The Undertaker called an
Audible after getting knocked
out.
Even if I'm wrong, I think it's pretty clear that my first statement _Is_ correct.
Paul has always been known as one of the biggest bullshitters in the business going back to his teenage years of being a photographer. If Brock truly did that, Taker, Vince, etc would have run him AND Heyman out of the business and you'd never hear their names again. We're talking about the streak for fu*k sake. Luckily, Taker and Vince have already talked about the decision to end the streak,. So yes, Heyman is bullshitting here.
*A Masterclass. The Storytelling Masterclass!*
with Professor Paul Heyman, PWSEA... Pro Wrestling Sport Entertainment Advocate. When the storyteller becomes the absolute legend himself...
LA Knight about to do the same to Roman this weekend. The Megastar wasn't asking to be Champion NAH NAH! He's telling you he is the champion and hes taking it! YEAH!
Paul Heyman can narrate a simple decision about what I ate for lunch into a rabbit hole questioning holograms, if steel beams can be melted by jet fuel and whether Tupac was shot by JFKjr. I don’t know anything, anymore.
He was F’n with us. First off Brock knows first hand how serious concussions are especially in a wrestling match. As per his WM 19 match. So he knows the importance of being able to trust your opponent in that situation to take care of you and make sure you make it to the finish line. To purposely go into a match and say I’m going to dump this man on his head who had trusted me to take care of him is honestly one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever heard from Paul heyman and the ramifications of if he did choose to do that would be crazy because of how respected undertaker is in the business. So I never liked this theory because it paints Brock in a very bad light. Now if he did this for the “sake of kayfabe” that’s cool. But other than that. It’s just crap.
Just re- watched the finish, Michael Cole definitely knew! “ the streak is over “ is definitely a rehearsed line! It came to soon after the 3 count
Lmfaoooo this is the biggest cap of all time. Everyone knew they just wanted to give it those few seconds for everyone to be shocked of course they’re not gonna play his music right away. Everyone knew. The ref, the sound people, the graphic people, Vince mcmahon, Brock and taker, the ring announcer and even the commentators. He’s is absolutely fucking with us. If Brock called an audible and did that he would be fired I don’t care how big of a draw he is.
Naaah. Knowing Vince, he would never allow for Taker to be disrespected that way. If what Heyman says was true, Taker would have held a grudge against Brock cus no one can go off script in WWE no matter who you are without facing repercussions.
Anyone who thinks that Vince and The Undertaker wouldn´t have taken swift action against Brock and Paul himself doesn´t know much about how respected Taker was/is in the locker room and by the roster or how vindictive and willing to punish Vince was/is. HHH was busted down to jobber by Vince for a year for hugging his friends in the ring before they left for WCW. Brock would have been getting the receipts for it to this day from the entire roster. Also, I would like to think that Brock isn´t that much of an asshole to blow the chance for new talent to get a major push by being the one to break the streak, cos breaking the streak did nothing for Brock, and losing to taker at WM wouldn´t have hurt him in any way.
Just watched it the match. Heyman is full of crap. Undertaker could have sandbagged the reversal and doesn't and the 21-1 graphic is already made a pops up within seconds of the bell. No way this was a shoot.
This is a great story but still, just a great story
If Vince knew, it was scripted
Lesnar and Undertaker seem to have a good relantionship, if that actually happend, they wouldn't have and probaly Taker would have someway to fuck him up down the line
And, I don't believe that Lesnar would be such an umprofessional prick were he put Taker's life in danger just to ear more money, that was a smart decision, that would have a poor decision by a person with bad character
So yes Paul, you are fucking with us, nonetheless, great story
It's a nice story, but anyone who thinks that Lesnar wouldn't be sued to hell and back for intentionally harming Undertaker then pinning him without authorization. Undertaker would have killed him before it even got to court.
"WWE can't fire Lesnar because he just beat the streak" yeah lmao sure wrestlers have been fired mid-storyline for far less
Taker and many others have talked about ending the streak. In this day and age, does anyone REALLY think NO ONE would break the silence and tell the truth. If that is indeed what went down.
If he really went off script why would they have the 21 - 1 graphic made to show at the end of the match lmao
Undertaker woulda fucked him up if that conspiracy theory was true, Taker went through the shit with Bret and HBK, so no way he woulda let something McMahon didnt authorize stay w/o judgment
fake story
