Until Brock Lesnar ended the historic streak at Wrestlemania 30, no Wrestlemania was complete without the mystery of knowing whether or not the streak would be broken. What many people don’t realise is that the first man to fall victim to The Dead Man was Jimmy ‘Superfly’ Snuka.
At Wrestlemania 7, the Undertaker defeated him and embarked on a storyline that would continue for over two decades. The match lasted well under five minutes and won't be remembered as a classic. However, the aftermath will be felt for a long, long time indeed.

Snuka would quit the company soon after this loss, jumping ship to ECW.
