The Undertaker's incredible WrestleMania winning streak may be over, but fans are still enthused by the prospect of seeing the longest-running character currently on WWE television face the upstart Bray Wyatt at this year's showcase event. Wyatt exhibits some similar traits to The Undertaker, including the use of mind games to get into the head of his opponents, and a supernatural mystique. Needless to say, fans were shocked when Brock Lesnar pinned 'Taker's shoulders to the mat at WrestleMania XXX. Regardless of any claims, it's accurate to state that few people saw that one coming, and it came as quite the surprise to actually see the number '1' go up on the big screen, marking a blemish in a previously-perfect record at grappling's biggest annual event. Bray Wyatt has aimed to play on the fragility of The Undertaker's character going into this year's show, promising to save him from extinction if he'll only let himself be saved. It's an intriguing plot line, but isn't the first time Undertaker has been provoked into a match at WrestleMania. Detailed here are some of the most original ways The Phenom's 'Mania bouts have come to be, and the various tactics his rivals used to get a crack at The Undertaker on the grand stage.
