10 Ways To Successfully Challenge The Undertaker At WrestleMania

3. Convincingly Threaten The Streak (Brock Lesnar - WrestleMania XXX)

Wrestling fans are still shocked that Brock Lesnar ended The Undertaker's WrestleMania winning streak at the event's thirtieth iteration. It seemed for all the world that such a run would go on forever, or at least 'Taker would be allowed the distinction of retiring with such a record intact. Instead, Lesnar crushed a weary-looking Deadman, writing his name in the annuls of WWE folklore forever as the man who ended something which will never be matched. If this all sounds like hyperbole, perhaps it is, but it simply cannot be over-stated how huge a moment Lesnar pinning The Undertaker at WrestleMania was. Maybe the most crucial aspect of the build was Paul Heyman's assertions that Lesnar would defeat 'Taker, and there was nothing the veteran could do about it. Many had made such claims before, but there was something more convincing about the nature of the manager's words, possibly having something to do with the fact that Brock Lesnar is entirely credible in the role.
