The Streak was also made into a storyline for the very first time in 2005 with Taker's match against Randy Orton at Wrestlemania 21. It's been made into a big deal every year since and it all finally culminated with the Streak being broken this year. Plus, they released a DVD burying the Ultimate Warrior in 2005 (the Self-Destruction Of The Ultimate Warrior), and this year they finally released the REAL DVD of Warrior's career, even allowing Warrior to present his side of things on the DVD itself. He was also inducted into the HOF on top of it.
It's an odd thing that's occurring in my life in general. I had a huge crush and infatuation for a certain actress that I saw in a zombie film back in 2005 (Land Of The Dead) and yet as of this year I now have a "thing" for a brand new actress and, ironically, I first saw her in a zombie television show (The Walking Dead.) Greg Nicotero (special effects guy) even worked on both. There's other similarities, too.
