It's just weird that Lesnar, a part-time performer, was the one to get that rub.

Even with the streak continuing on, it was never something that was going to be bigger than the sport itself....same goes with his character. Dude was already a legend.
Hogan is the only person I know of that has legitimately tried to make his character bigger than the sport because he lived his own character 24/7. You ask anyone close to him that's worked with him or see anyone else's interviews when they're asked about Hogan they will all tell you his ego is notoriously bigger than everyone else's including Vince.
I just can't believe that they chose Lesnar..as the one to end it. Esp how WWE has managed Lesnar's story ever since he came back. Big bad tough UFC champ coming back as part MMA grappler, breaking people's arms, going nuts, then losing in the actual match. Now hes on the biggest stage as a part timer and he wins? WTF? So I agree on that part of your post.
