There may never be a better fan reaction to a match result than that of Ellis Mbeh. Looking for all the world like he'd just seen a ghost and won the lottery in the same second, Mbeh was stunned to see The Undertaker's legendary WrestleMania winning streak come to an end in 2014.

Brock Lesnar had done the impossible, leaving 'Taker on the ring canvas and ending a winning run that stretched back to 1991. Previously undefeated, Undertaker now had to cope with the fact that he had lost on the event most fans closely associated with his success. What happened next was fascinating.

Staring at the lights in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome for a few moments, 'The Deadman' slowly hauled himself upright. There was a stunned silence inside the cavernous arena, where just over 75,000 people couldn't believe what had happened. In a brilliant show of humility, The Undertaker couldn't even look at his audience.

It came across like 'Taker knew he had let down everyone in attendance, even though there was a standing ovation for his previous achievements. It was a spine-chilling moment, one enhanced by the way Undertaker failed to make sustained eye contact with anyone.
