Lesnar was only 13/2 on paddy power when I was looking at about 10pm.

Was a lot bigger earlier in the week, and Taker was 1/66 right up until late yesterday.

Bit of a shitter putting Cesaro in the battle royal unadvertised. I had Sheamus at 10/1 and Ziggler at 16s.
 
Have no problem with Lesnar ending the streak, had he not of jobbed to Cena & Hunter in recent years. Of course they wouldn't of known in 2012 he was the man to do it, but still. This is clearly Taker's decision, a massive UFC fan losing to a former UFC Champion, obviously a 49 year old man in a real fight wouldn't beat a UFC Champion - the reality era is here ;)

So shocked the streak ended but it had to eventually, taker looked absolutely fucked there. All the commentators standing applauding too, surely his last match?

DB had to win after that but i still didn't think it'd happen like. Orton landing on that monitor looked painful mind. Who were the wifey and bairn in the ring with him afterwards? DB looked well chuffed.

Best mania in quite a while imo, shock factor and legitimate talent getting wins in Cesaro and DB. Can't wait for Cesaro's push :cool:

It was his older sister and his niece.
 
Taker said about 10 years ago that he would go out on his back.

The streak was always going to end, but he did say it would be him that chose who he wanted to lose it to so it a the ultimate show of respect to Brock. To my knowledge the only other person he has offered to lose it to was Angle who declined it because he didn't feel deserving at the time.

Didn't he offer it to Orton at WM21 when the 'Legend Killer' gimmick was red hot?

Spot on IMO.

Losing to a legitimate hard man means that his legacy isn't really damaged and it can always be said that a 'sports entertainer' couldn't end the streak.

I still expect a retirement match with Sting, possibly at Summerslam or maybe even Survivor Series as that's where he debuted.
HOF 2015 is an absolute certainty.
 
Said takers streak would end ages ago however I honestly thought they'd want John Cena to do it.


Was a really good event, Cesaro swinging big show was probably one of the most incredible things I've seen from him, well deserved!

Eh? I don't remember him swinging Big Show like. He bodyslammed him over the ropes.

Haha, I was thinking fuck, how did I miss that :lol: It was Kofi he swung.

Aw damn, we went to Shark Club honestly, about 400 quid in drinks I just can't be dealing today, I had Sheamus in our sweepstake! I'm gonna have to re watch Mania today though, what happened in the diva match? Completely missed that, it must have only been on for 30 seconds!
