I am not trolling at all when I ask this.
Wrestling is fake. Everyone knows this. So why do people talk about the Undertakers win streak as if he won real fights?
Aside from the commentators who present it as if its real, or children/retards who still think its real, noone does this.
Because of the work he put in as a performer doing it every year. It built up this fictional story that people loved buying into. When it was taken away, it ruined that story for many, resulting in the backlash etc.
Because we're invested in the story of it. You know, like any TV show. How many times must the same answer be repeated?
tbf avoiding Vince jobbing you out on a whim for 21 years straight is an impressive feat in its own right

It's children's television! MMA is where it's at
It's cause wrestling is like live action Saturday morning cartoons and some people just want to get into the weird ass kayfabe cause its fun

I guess what I don't understand was the shock at his first loss. I mean, eventually the writers or whoever decides who wins have to have him lose right? He's still a human being, not an actual immortal risen from the grave. Or are you so invested in the story that you believed that too?
>werks the marks and kids who think it's important
>werks the smarks who care about the backstrage drama/politics of booking the streak and who would end it
>werks the anti-smarks like (you) who are still asking about it years later
it was the perfect pro wrestling experience

Besides the whole notion of it being unthinkable?
Lesnar had looked like an ineffectual chump for months, it was assumed he'd be just another name fed to The Streak.

this. He played a character so well no one really wanted to see him go.
Comparatively, Christian Bale as Batman. by the third time, people wanted him dead.
