Not to mention hes stealing the spot on the card that could/should be going to a guy like Punk. 1,000,000 pay out for one match and the smalll 4 week buildup leadi g to it.....wow....
Punk got a spot on the card with 'Taker last year and the match was great. He had a spot the year before as champion. Punk has had plenty of spots at 'Mania, which include two consecutive Money-In-The-Bank wins (granted, one was due to Jeff Hardy's suspension), and has hardly been held back by the Deadman.
In fact, when Punk lost the title to Rock, his match with Undertaker was basically a main-event match . The streak thing often equalled or topped the title matches (unless 'Taker was challenging for a belt), particularly over four of the last six WrestleManias: 25, 26, 27, 29.
WM25: Michaels-Taker was the big match, not the WWE title match with Orton and Helmsley.
WM26: Michaels-Taker rematch (Streak vs. Career); main event (over both title matches)
WM27: Taker vs. Helmsley; the consensus was that salvaged the show; people weren't high about the Miz-Cena title match.
WM29: Everybody and their mammy knew Cena was beating Rock for the title (that predictability thing of which you speak). Punk vs.Taker stole the show, with honorable mention to Jericho vs. Fandango.
That's the very reason for my thread. Rumors were running wild that Punk would break the streak. But, I figured if they were going to put Punk over the Deadman, Paul Bearer's death put the kabosh on that.
