10 Wrestling 'Truths' We’ll Never Get An Answer To

9. Who Would've Ended The Undertaker's Streak?

Brock Lesnar was the man handpicked by The Undertaker to end his long-running WrestleMania winning streak and put the '1' in '21-1'. Industry critics and casual fans alike were stunned when Lesnar toppled 'Taker in 2014 and scuffed one of WWE's most perfect gimmicks.

That almost never happened.

Lesnar was absent from the promotion between 2004-2012, meaning someone else had to be considered long before he was. Going further, nobody could've predicted with any accuracy that Brock would return at all. In other words, a Lesnar-less WWE couldn't exactly book him to end such a famous winning run. They'd have had to choose someone else.

Countless names were rumoured as streak-beaters over the years, but it almost seemed like 'Taker's streak would remain intact forever (some might wish that had been the case). Without Brock's 2012 comeback, there'd be no streak-conquering 'Beast'.
