20 Biggest Myths WWE Tells About Its History

6. The Streak Was Totally Epic

The Myth: The Undertaker’s 21-year run of WrestleMania victories was uniformly epic, and always treated as a big deal.

The Truth: It's not like Undertaker spent two decades putting away Shawn Michaelses and Triple Aitches. His list of victories includes such unimpressive conquests as A-Train, Giant Gonzales, and Big Boss Man.

A lot of the early matches have pretty rancid finishes, too; Undertaker started off strong by Tombstoning Jimmy Snuka with authority, but then he followed that up by beating Jake Roberts by count-out, pinning King Kong Bundy with a clothesline, and, no joke, defeating Giant Gonzalez by DQ after being knocked out by a chloroform-soaked rag.

To make matters worse, WWE didn't even really make the Streak into a big deal until 'Taker faced off with Randy Orton at WrestleMania XXI. That was the first time WWE put together a little retrospective of Undertaker's vanquished foes in an attempt to make the Streak into a real thing they meant to do, not just a piece of trivia they stumbled upon.

Oddly, none of those videos show the part where Undie is laid low by a 9-foot tall naked sasquatch using chemistry.
