Even almost six years on from the event, it's impossible to overstate the magnitude of palpable shock that was felt inside the Superdome when Brock Lesnar became the man who ended The Undertaker's legendary streak.

The Undertaker's epic matches had become synonymous with the event and had fans on the edge of their seats year after year. After multiple up-and-comers and some of the company's biggest ever stars all fell to The Phenom, it seemed as though the trigger would never actually be pulled on his long awaited 'L' on The Grandest Stage of Them All.

However, Vince McMahon was wise enough to let us believe that to be the case and just when fans started to take the streak for granted, Lesnar would be given the orders to bury 'Taker's historic run under a mound of vicious F-5s.

Eyes widened, tears dropped and sound ceased as the WrestleMania XXX crowd drank in the sickening reality of a world where not even their beloved streak was safe.

It marked the moment that Lesnar became the outright draw in the company and also cemented itself as the most tragically well-crafted bombshell in WWE's illustrious history.
