Tommy Dreamer believes Brock Lesnar ending The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak is one of the worst booking decisions ever made in the history of wrestling.
Speaking on a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, the Impact Wrestling star commented on Lesnar defeating The Undertaker at WrestleMania 30 to end the Deadman’s undefeated streak, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On the end of the Streak: “I felt that [‘the streak’] meant as much as WrestleMania. It’s something that could have continued. And if you think about it, that show, everything [was] taken out of the building. All the energy, that main event, was affected by Brock beating The Undertaker and ending that streak. That’s the most that we talk about from that. And did it really help Brock Lesnar get to the next level? No, because Brock was already there.”
On his issues with the decision: “I just think it was a horrible booking decision. It made you more pissed. It wasn’t heat, and didn’t help elevate Brock because Brock was already there.”
Speaking of The Undertaker, Rob Van Dam recently took to his “1 Of A Kind” podcast to discuss ‘Taker’s legacy and his status as an icon.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On The Undertaker’s legacy: “He will be remembered for his long f**king career of headlining huge pay-per-views and being a dead guy [laughs]. I guess, you know, [his] very entertaining matches are unique, in that they come from such a one-of-a-kind character. He’s a big dude, so he’s a great representation of what wrestling is.”
On Undertaker’s status as an icon: “He’s been wrestling so long that he’s definitely one of those icons, where, if you want to talk about watching wrestling on TV, growing up watching it, whatever, I think his name has to be in the conversation as one of the OGs and one of everybody’s favorites.”

In the world of professional wrestling, there have been many controversial booking decisions throughout history. One decision that continues to be a topic of debate is Brock Lesnar ending The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak. This decision, according to Tommy Dreamer, is one of the worst booking decisions ever made in the history of wrestling.
During a recent episode of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, Dreamer shared his thoughts on Lesnar defeating The Undertaker at WrestleMania 30 to end the Deadman’s undefeated streak. Dreamer believed that the streak held significant meaning, comparable to the importance of WrestleMania itself. He felt that it was something that could have continued and added to the excitement of the event. However, with Lesnar’s victory, all the energy was taken out of the building, affecting the main event and leaving fans shocked and disappointed.
Dreamer also questioned whether this decision truly helped elevate Brock Lesnar to the next level. He argued that Lesnar was already a top-level star and didn’t need the rub from ending The Undertaker’s streak. Instead, Dreamer believed that it only made fans more upset and didn’t contribute to Lesnar’s status in any meaningful way.
The Undertaker’s legacy and status as an icon were also discussed recently by Rob Van Dam on his “1 Of A Kind” podcast. Van Dam acknowledged The Undertaker’s long career headlining major pay-per-view events and his unique character as a dead guy. He recognized that The Undertaker’s entertaining matches were a result of his one-of-a-kind persona and his representation of what wrestling is all about. Van Dam also emphasized that The Undertaker is considered an icon in the industry, one of the original gangsters (OGs), and a favorite among fans who grew up watching wrestling on TV.
While opinions may differ on the decision to end The Undertaker’s streak, it remains a significant moment in wrestling history. It sparked intense discussion among fans and industry insiders, highlighting the impact that booking decisions can have on the overall perception of a wrestler’s career.
