LOL that's what I was thinking. Kinda ridiculous, but I choose to believe this was true.
Now we know why they didn't bring up the Ariel Helwani video during the build for the match haha

Yeah the crowd was a little dead in the beginning, but it was still a pretty good match.

I wonder if the WWE didn't put too much hype behind the Lesnar match because they knew it was going to be bad. Like Undertaker showed up in January and told Vince that he was having trouble getting into shape like he used to and he wants this to be the end.
My god, what a ring technician! The brutal knees to Natalya, the display of savvy veteran instincts as she lets the other divas beat each other up, and then putting that loser Tamina in her place by letting her know who the real queen is, Eva Marie forever! #Queen #AllRedEverything
Yep, they wake up eventually

Watching that "match" now and I wish they would have done their full entrance instead of it being interrupted. Sucks that the Shield were wasted on those olds for a match that didn't even last 3 minutes.
She will probably fued with Tamina next, since she hasn't beat her yet. Hopefully Emma, sans Santino, soon.
Paige is ready but I just don't see the WWE in any rush to bring her over to Raw. Her merch sells well and she's a big part of the NXT brand, but I guess they want to wait. Although she's going to get stale soon. She has defeated the all the female roster. It's only a matter of time till people call her the female John Cena.
It was officially killed off in 2011, so about 3 years ago

Yeah say what you want about the build and the entire angle, but that match was pretty great. They both seemed to sell everything well, and Orton gets points for taking that monitor. Wonder if he got pissed at Batista after the match because on the replay it looks like Batista was the one who chucked the monitor there. Who knows. I'm sure it wasn't intentional but you think he would have known better.
No one argues that. They didn't really come back to life until HHH came back out.
Taker really never recovered from that, which was in the first few minutes of the match. He let out a bellow and for the rest of the match he was down, sucking wind, CONSTANTLY talking to Brock, telling him to slow down, help him up, or let him breathe.
Then this happened
And then this happened
He also appeared to have injured his ribs from the first F5.
i haven't watched wrestling in years, last time i was actually into it was around wrestlemania 26, but goddamn the crowd is so into wyatt and brian. crowd would have gone nuts if wyatt had won. i don't even know who he is and i know he is probably the most entertaining character the E has had in a while

Interestingly, WWE seems to be suggesting, albeit indirectly, both "debuts" and "retirements" for tonight's Raw...

The match was slow because Taker busted his head right in the beginning of the match. Just like Lesnar/HHH from WM29 sucked because Lesnar got knocked loopy right in the start.
Undertaker can be the example from now on for people who watch MMA and practice MMA and think they can work a guy who actually does MMA
Shoulda never put him in the ring with Brock. The guy is the roughest worker in the WWE. Like, what did Undertaker think was gonna happen? You think after the first takedown, Undertaker went, 'I've made a terrible mistake.'?

lol @ Sin Cara reference.
He probably forgot and then remembered every bump he took. Watch the match back again, he's not even trying to hide his talking the whole match. Asking for help, breathing room, for Brock to ease up. He got wrecked right away. But even before that, he looked hobbled and slow. Seconds in he looked like he shouldn't have taken the match. I have a feeling that the first Irish whip kind of stunned him, too.

Geez. I didn't really notice him hitting his head so many times.
I'm pretty sure Taker's age and multiple surgeries have more to do with this than the fact Brock is a retired MMA fighter.

Can't blame Brock for any of that...100% taker's fault.

That second one looks horrible.

Do they still put Brock in the UFC games? Can I do Bork vs. Bruce Lee like I never knew I wanted?

I agree. No one is to blame. It's just wrestling. It's ain't ballet, they say.

Wow that looks terrible, didn't they like practice? I mean these part timers can meet up at a facility and practice the spots in the match. That first gif the fuck was Brock trying to do. I heard the Rock did that with R-Truth and Miz in the tag match.
This made me burst out laughing. Thank you.

That leg take down spot and the repeated powerbombs might give validity to those rumors awhile back that Brock wouldn't be willing to put the time in to practice the match like previous Taker opponents. Especially the former.
Then why would Taker possibly put him over?
Mr. Enigma

WWE usually flies out Taker's opponent after the last Raw before Mania to go over the match with him at his place (where he's got a ring in a private facility). There was some concern over whether Lesnar would be willing to do that. No one knows if he did or not. The day of WM30, Heyman posted a picture of himself and Lesnar in a ring somewhere in a building with the caption "Secret training sessions" so maybe he did?
Not just loopy, Lesnar hit his head and was knocked unconscious for a few seconds.
This has to be permanent.

Not surprised Undertaker got hurt. This is how he looked before he came back
Plus he had noticeably less muscle than previous years.
