#3 The Undertaker vs Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania XXX
Trending
The grandest spectacle of the year. The greatest streak in pro wrestling. Perhaps the most formidable threat that has ever existed to said streak.
The perfect storm for a legendary encounter, especially if you wanted to end the longest running storyline in pro wrestling history. The choice of opponent wasn’t surprising at all – Brock Lesnar, is as legitimate as they come.
The only man alive who’s won the NCAA Heavyweight Championship, the WWE Heavyweight Championship and the UFC Heavyweight Championship. My guess is that there wouldn’t be another man with the same accolades... ever.
With so much at stake and some of the most historic characters to ever set foot inside a squared circle involved, you would expect the planning that went into the execution of the match to be meticulous. Done comfortably in advance with every little detail revisited, every little wrinkle ironed out.
Isn’t it utterly shocking, then, that the finish to the match was actually decided only four hours before The Undertaker and Brock Lesnar went on? Imagine that. The match with the greatest historical relevance to the WWE was probably decided on a whim.
