3. The Undertaker Defeated Brock Lesnar (With Paul Heyman)
The Undertaker as a crotchety old fart who hits his clearly more talented opponent in the balls to gain the upper hand is awesome. Mark Calaway is 50 years old. The idea of him beating "the beast incarnate" man up isn't plausible. In fact, him falling down in the aisle after the match is such a great creative stroke of genius. The finish to SummerSlam setting up a no DQ, falls count anywhere and no holds barred Texas Death Match between 'taker and Lesnar at WrestleMania is awesome. The middle finger by Lesnar symbolizing "f**k you motherf***er, you got me" before he passed out in Hell's Gate was golden. This is an Old West shootout that's not going to end at 50 paces. This one's going to end at zero paces, nose to nose, man-to-man, and you're going to want to see it for certain. Related to all of this, these two guys look to be having the time of their lives in this feud. That's always good to see.
