Ignore any chatter about whether or not WWE should've ended The Undertaker's long-running WrestleMania winning streak. Recent years have shown that 'Taker couldn't keep performing at the same high level forever. Something had to give.

So, Vince McMahon, assuming it was Undertaker's last hurrah, decided that Brock Lesnar should kill the streak in 2014.

The entire community was left ashen-faced when the referee's hand slapped that mat for a third time and 'Taker went 21-1 on WWE's grandest stage. If nothing else, it was a reminder of that old "anything can happen" marketing tool, and it perhaps allowed the legend to breathe a little easier when 'Mania came around on the calendar.

Some may argue over the eligibility of this being regarded one of wrestling's best moments of the 2010-2020 period, but it does belong here. Lesnar's win made history, altered 'Taker's career trajectory and closed the book on a streak that'll never be matched.
