There's been no moment in the long-running career of The Undertaker more polarising than his first ever loss at WrestleMania in 2014.

On an unrivalled run of 21 consecutive victories at WWE's biggest pay-per-view, 'The Deadman' was finally beaten by Brock Lesnar at 'Mania XXX; so shocked was the huge crowd in New Orleans that they went almost silent when the referee counted Undertaker's shoulders to the mat and announced Lesnar as the winner.

This remains a bone of contention to this day, because there are those fans who believe 'Taker's winning streak should never have been broken. On the flip side, others felt it was only a matter of time before the long-winded string of wins was stopped.

Tempering the former argument just a little, there was no more realistic choice to beat 'Taker at 'Mania than Brock Lesnar, and it was surely Undertaker's own choice anyway to stare at the lights when he did.
