well, yes and no.

I like it far more than just a clean win because at least with this they'll have Paul work the 3rd match.

however,
(1) there wasn't really a reason to have Taker win, it does nothing for neither man. Lesnar should have won so Taker asks for the third match, Heyman tells him that he needs to put his career on the line, and Taker gets retired just like he retired HBK

(2) the finish itself was bad, I think it was a bad finish for the live crowd. I hated that the ref didn't do the 'raise arm 3 times' to check if Lesnar was out.

It didn't fit; idk I just can't accept it. I'm expecting there were some kinda shenanigans involving the time keeper but I think they should've given more of an explanation right then. Crowd was understandably confused and disappointed.

I was a bit confused at first, too, but I thought Heyman explained it rather well. That being said, I agree with you that it should have been explained sooner (maybe if the announcers had jumped on it).
