#14 The End of the Streak

Wrestlemania XXX was the swan song of Undertaker's legendary undefeated streak.
Wrestlemania XXX was the swan song of Undertaker's legendary undefeated streak.

After defeating all challengers to his undefeated streak, fans knew that the time was nearing that the Deadman would have to take a fall.

When the build up began that Brock Lesnar would be taking on The Undertaker at Wrestlemania XXX with the streak on the line, fans didn't know what to think. On the one hand, many wrestling critics didn't believe a part time talent like Lesnar would be allowed the honor of defeating The Undertaker. On the other, Lesnar's booking had him looking more superhuman that ever, especially in light of his squash victory over John Cena.

As Wrestlemania XXX drew near, only three people knew the finish of the match: Lesnar, The Undertaker, and Vince McMahon. Rumor has it that The Undertaker is the one who pushed for Lesnar to end the streak, in part because Taker is a huge MMA fan.

Even Paul Heyman was genuinely shocked when three F5s led to the end of the streak. His emotional response to Lesnar's victory is real. Many fans were shocked into abject silence after the pinfall.

The Undertaker's streak was no more, but he still had his career. However, a certain Big Dog would be looking to change that.
