The Undertaker's streak shockingly coming to a heartbreaking end at WrestleMania XXX was a call that very few outside of the key players involved had any idea was about to rock the Superdome.

In fact, it was reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter around the time that referee Chad Patton was actually told 'Taker would be walking out of New Orleans with a 22-0 record. But with the rule being for WWE officials to ref the contests as a shoot, Patton simply brought his hand down for the incredible three.

It would also later be revealed by 'Taker himself, in an interview with Ariel Helwani, that the original plan up until the day of the show was actually for 'The Deadman' to go over 'The Beast' on 'The Grandest Stage'.

But early that afternoon, Vince made his way into 'The Phenom's dressing room and secretly changed wrestling history forever, altering the old finish to the one that ultimately involved the concussed icon being F5'd to smithereens for the Brock win.

And just a few hours later, the entire wrestling world was left feeling utterly shook by a first-ever 'Taker 'Mania 'L' that came completely out of left field.
