Stars like Steve Austin, Triple H, Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns can all boast clean wins over The Undertaker during his career. Those guys all have one thing in common, that being their sustainable star power (yes, haters, even Roman). Someone else didn't.

Я принес тебе боль.

Translated from Russian, that phrase means, "I brought you pain", and it was the very first line of Vladimir Kozlov's entrance track. It's also very accurate, because Kovlov did indeed bring pain when he beat 'Taker 100% clean on the 27 February 2009 episode of SmackDown.

Although he was trying his hardest to succeed, Kozlov never had the natural instincts for pro wrestling, and putting him over a legend like The Undertaker just to force the issue was hardly a solid plan. Fans refused to accept the result, so much so that it's been glossed over and forgotten by many in the nine years since it happened.
