During the ARN Podcast, Arn Anderson discussed The Undertaker’s undefeated streak being broken by Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 30 in 2014 and whether he thinks Lesnar should’ve been the one to do it.
Here is what he had to say:
“No disrespect to Brock Lesnar, I don’t think Taker’s streak should’ve ever been broken,” Anderson said. “He should still be sitting here unbeaten [at WrestleMania]. It’s as special as anything has ever been, it’s more special than anybody that won a world title. It’s one of those things that comes along every so often and the character fits the angle.”
“There’s nobody that you would say on any of those WrestleManias that Taker won that said very clearly he’s going to get beat tonight. I don’t think that anybody would believe he would ever get beat and he’s the guy to pull that off. Sometimes when it’s the thing to do, do it.”
“Leaving him undefeated would’ve been perfect,” Anderson stated. “Let him walk away, let him retire, let him get put in the hall of fame all in one year and let that record, whether it would be 30-0, that’s something monumental. I don’t think Brock needed the win to convince anybody that he was a number one guy, it was just one of those things that wasn’t necessary.”
