One of the most shocking moments in WWE history happened at WrestleMania XXX. Not only did Daniel Bryan finally get his moment, basking in the spotlight as WWE Champion, but The Undertaker's 'Mania winning streak was unthinkably brought to an end. Brock Lesnar was chosen as the man who would bring closure to one of the biggest ideas WWE had going for them, and the result saddened many long time fans, who clearly felt that 'Taker's streak was something which should have stood forever. At the very least, it was theorised that only someone McMahon believed could carry his company forward for the next generation should have ended the angle, and - as big a star as he is - Lesnar is unlikely to be that man. Being honest, there's little chance the streak would have ended without The Undertaker's say so. One of the most-trusted men under contract to Vince McMahon, 'Taker is highly trusted, and there's no doubt that he would have had to green light such a move. Even so, it was a monumental decision to end one of the longest-running stories in wrestling, and close the door on one of WrestleMania's biggest selling points.
