#3 Brock Lesnar vs The Undertaker

Undertaker bias aside: Brock Lesnar breaking the streak is the most shocking moment of the decade for me. The shock after the pin followed by screams of horror. The iconic angry fan in disbelief. The “21-1” appearing on the big screen#WWE pic.twitter.com/DJHSzaQwkq

Although it was not for a title, Brock Lesnar's victory over The Undertaker at WrestleMania 30 remains one of the most historic results in the history of professional wrestling.

Leading into the match, The Undertaker had won 21 consecutive bouts at WrestleMania. When that streak was broken in 2014, the wrestling world reacted with awe. Most believed that The Undertaker's mythical run would never be broken. The fact that Lesnar managed to pull off the win almost qualifies him to be a part of this list on its own.

The Undertaker's history with the former UFC Heavyweight Champion, however, dates all the way back to 2002. Lesnar was WWE Champion at the time and squared off with The Undertaker in a series of big matches, including a brutal Hell In A Cell clash.

Lesnar and The Undertaker would even interact during The Beast Incarnate's time as a UFC fighter. Following Lesnar's loss to Cain Velasquez at UFC 121 in 2010, The Undertaker stepped away from an interview he was conducting in order to challenge his former foe to another battle.

Undertaker finally talks UFC 121 incident w/ Brock Lesnar:“I was sent there personally to pick a fight. I was unaware that Dana [White] had no clue, which I felt terrible about after“Brock knew I was gonna be there, I don’t know how much he knew about what I was going to do.” pic.twitter.com/jfdGQJAvCT

The Undertaker and Lesnar would meet again after their famed WrestleMania 30 match, engaging in several pay-per-view bouts in 2015. However, it is because of that one pinfall victory in New Orleans that Brock Lesnar will forever be linked with The Undertaker.
