Just rewatched this match on the Network and it held up terribly. At the time I thought it was great mainly because of the SCM/pedigree combo and the slow pacing made built up suspense but with all of that gone now it hurts the match for me
It just seems like HHH tried to have the most "epic" and as drawn out of a match as possible to try and top Shawn. Shawn's bad acting doesn't hold up well years later either. You can say that this happens with all Taker streak matches out of the Taker matches I watched from WM20-30 this one was only better than 20 and 22. I would say this was easily the worst out of the 3 matches that HHH/Taker had at Mania and it doesn't come close to either of the Shawn matches

They didn't even use the cell. It wasn't a bad match compared to both guys' recent work but this match was overbooked. Taker should of called it quits after the previous one or after his match with Punk.
The only reason this matched had a little doubt was due to HHH's history of politicing

What?

The HHH matches at 27 and 28 should have never happened; he just has to ruin everything with his selfishness
They could have made the streak an even bigger deal than it already was and it could still be alive today, eventually to make whoever breaks it a huge star, rather than waste it on someone who absolutely did not need it.
Wouldn't this have been a better list of challengers than what we got?
>27 Y2J
>28 CM Cuck - long title reign vs streak
>29 The Rock - instead of Rock/Cena rematch
>30 Lesnar - but Taker wins
>31 Sting - instead of Fedora Man / HHH/Sting match
>32 anyone but Shane, maybe Reigns - imagine the heat he would have gotten
>33 Cena

BTW when HHH and Taker had that staredown on Raw after those cryptic promos that were rumored to be Sting or even a debuting Tyler Black, that might have been the most disappointing moment of the past 10 years in WWE

Bray should have broken the streak, no one can ever convince me otherwise.

Their 27 match was pretty good. You telling you didn't mark out when taker kicked out of the tombstone?

there was zero chance of him losing to his own move so no

All I remember about that match was Taker getting his ass kicked and stretchered out, coming out of it basically looking like the loser, kind of making the streak look weak
