It may be a thing of the past, but in WWE history, there have been few accolades more revered than the Streak.

Belonging to the legendary Undertaker, the series of 21 consecutive wins at WrestleMania was the stuff of legend, as fans wondered who would, or could break it.

Is this man the funniest man in wrestling?

In 2005, the offer was made to Randy Orton, which at the time made sense.

Orton, who had become the youngest World Heavyweight Champion the year before, was riding high as the Legend Killer, defeating stars like The Rock, Mick Foley, and Shawn Michaels.

Whilst ending the Streak would've been the ultimate feather in the Viper's cap, Orton turned down the offer, saying he did not feel worthy, and that the Streak should never be broken. It was finally broken in 2014.
