WWE 2K14 (released October 2013) introduced a great new feature called Streak Mode where gamers could choose Undertaker and defend the Streak, or challenge Undertaker to break it. It was a cool feature that brought back the Slobber Knocker match of the Smackdown! games and challenged players like never before with The Undertaker programmed to be almost invincible. Countering every move, no selling your finisher, recovering just to nail you with a Tombstone Piledriver, the Deadman simply would not die.

And we were fine with it - well, by the time we had cooled down after throwing our controllers at the TV screen at least. After all, it made sense that The Undertaker could never be defeated at WrestleMania. The Streak would go on forever right... riiiiight?

Well the very next WrestleMania after the game was released was WrestleMania 30 at the Superdome in New Orleans where Paul Heyman's client Brock Lesnar conquered the streak.

As a wrestling fan I've flown across the Atlantic for the last five years specifically to attend WrestleMania (28 and 30) as well as TNA, ROH, Evolve, Chikara and most recently PWG. I may have a problem! But if you're reading my work then you probably love wrestling too, so lets focus on that!
