#3 The Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar – WrestleMania XXX

In the years that followed after this match happened, WWE have sold Lesnar’s victory over The Undertaker as the most shocking moment in WWE history. It technically still is and probably always will be, because it was something that came so far out of left field that few people actually saw it coming.

But while there has been plenty of discussion on whether this booking decision was good or bad, there is one thing that is constant: the actual wrestling match itself was bad.

A major reason for this was because the Undertaker suffered a major concussion early into the match. Somehow, he managed to regain his composure, but he was noticeably sluggish afterward. His offense didn’t look good in the minutes that followed, and the moves between both of them looked disjointed.

That concussion caused almost everything to fall apart, and it looked like Brock Lesnar had to actually do more than his share of the work because Undertaker was seriously hurt.

While the execution of the ending and post-match moments were done perfectly to underscore the shock of the decision, the actual wrestling contest lacked the excellent structure and dramatic sequences of the Undertaker’s previous seven WrestleMania matches.

While Undertaker’s shocking loss is the main thing most people will remember, one cannot forget that this could’ve been an even bigger moment if the match leading up to that moment was at least on par with his previous contests.
