10 Times The Undertaker Has Done What's Best For Business
1. Giving Up Vaunted WrestleMania Winning Streak (2014)
By a long way, the most giving performance by The Undertaker came at WrestleMania XXX. Heading in to his match against Brock Lesnar, few fans predicted that 'The Beast' would overcome the beloved Undertaker and actually cause his 'Mania winning run to come to a close.
Known simply as 'The Streak', that winning stretch had lasted since WrestleMania VII in 1991, and sat at 21-0. A lot of people guessed that WWE would simply let Undertaker retire with the streak intact, because there didn't seem to be much point in having him lose on the event. After all, it was an easy annual sell to promote The Undertaker's bout as a focal point of WrestleMania.
Fans and industry critics alike were 100% stunned when Lesnar bagged the victory, despite some claiming afterwards that they could see it coming. The truth is, hardly anyone did, and that was the sheer beauty of it. Afterwards, it was said to be 'Taker's decision that Lesnar would be the one to beat him. Giving up such a record, even in a pre-determined business like pro wrestling, was remarkably unselfish.
