Brock got beat and kinda past on the rub. It doesn't matter if you agree or not. I'm not bothered with debating this with YOU.

Passed the rub on to who?
Even MORE part time Goldberg (first guy to beat him clean, before they 50/50 booked it to give Lesnar his win back)?
Roman Reigns, who was so hated by the fans that it took a literal cancer diagnosis for them to stop booing him (but still not really cheering)?
Seth Rollins, who got over on his own and if anything his sketchy WM 35 win and then hot potato of the title to an from Lesnar a few months later basically killed interest in his reign?

Lesnar spent half a fucking decade burying the entire active roster, and it's that godawful booking that lead to the huge drop off in viewers over that time period and since. Like, why the fuck should we get invested in any of these dudes when Lesnar is just gonna show up again someday, destroy everybody in his path, and immediately get a title shot and win it?

Beating Undertaker was a poor decision, but it's utterly dwarfed by how terrible his booking was since then. Like, it almost seems quaint to be mad about breaking the streak now compared to everything his run in WWE has been since then.

It was delicious watching the SD ratings plummet to below USA Network levels within a month on Fox (in twice as many homes...) after God Beast Lesnar truly jumped the shark on the Fox premiere episode, at least.
