"They were pissed" - The Undertaker reveals a Vince McMahon decision that left the WWE locker room angry
WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker has disclosed that many wrestlers were not happy about his streak being broken at WrestleMania XXX.
The Deadman held an impressive undefeated record at The Grandest Stage of Them All for over two decades. It included victories over some of the biggest names in wrestling history. However, in 2014, his 21-0 winning streak came to a shocking end at the hands of Brock Lesnar. Vince McMahon stated on the Stone Cold Podcast that one of the reasons The Beast broke the streak was because there was no other viable candidate for the role.
Speaking on the latest episode of his Six Feet Under podcast, The Undertaker stated that numerous talent believed that The Streak shouldn't have been broken at all, as they considered it a vital part of WrestleMania.
"Among fans, even amongst the talent because most of the guys were, they were pis**d. 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 'D**n 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,'" said Undertaker. (H/T SEScoops)
