10 Wrestlers Cursed By Their Undefeated Streaks
7. The Undertaker
Your writer f*cking adored The Graveyard Dogs.
Was it their bizarrely brilliant chemistry against total pr*cks Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre? Was it cathartic to see Roman Reigns back amongst the big boys following his joyous return earlier that year? Could it just have been the fact that The Undertaker wore a slightly higher neck on his top to make them look a little more of a match, gear-wise?
Yes to all those easy questions, but it was just nice to see a bit of redemption for a company icon after years of absolute stinkers.
Undertaker's loss to Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania XXX was the end of his legendary Streak, but it was looking like it should have been the end of his career too. Returns against Bray Wyatt, Shane McMahon, Roman Reigns and others were wretched, with only his bouts against 'The Beast' getting any acclaim in the shadow of his heartbreaking 2014 loss.
Years of defying the effects of aging with his spectacular once-annual offerings were suddenly lost to a slew of rotten displays that damaged his aura more than a single WrestleMania loss. The Graveyard Dogs' Extreme Rules banger was a necessary resuscitation of that legacy.
