The Streak is dead. It is a sentence no wrestling fan ever imagined they would hear and a moment that left 70,000 fans in stunned silence following Sunday's loss to the Beast Incarnate, Brock Lesnar. Struggling to make it to his feet, the Undertaker took a look around the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, seemingly soaking it all in one last time. His lonely, unceremonious long walk up the ramp and to the back felt eerily similar to those taken by Shawn Michaels and Ric Flair following what would be their final matches. There has yet to be any kind of indication that Undertaker wrapped up his legendary career Sunday night but based on feel and circumstance, it certainly appeared to be the end of the line for the most enduring character World Wrestling Entertainment has ever produced. If that is the case, he leaves a legacy of matches and memories that no one writer or any single article could ever do justice. The one consistent in WWE for nearly a quarter-century, the Deadman has left an indelible mark on the company and the industry as a whole. His greatest moments, of which there are so many to choose from, will forever be etched in the minds of anyone who has ever had the pleasure and honor of watching him perform.
