This should go without saying, but the Streak was one of the most awesome things to ever happen in WWE. Even though virtually everyone knows that outcomes are pre-determined, the Streak managed to take on a life of its own, and eventually became more prestigious than winning a World Championship. Although some of his WrestleMania matches werent the best, by the time WrestleMania 21 came around, it became a major selling point for WrestleMania itself. The build-up to his Mania matches was very dramatic and exciting, and Undertaker would make sure he brought out his absolute best for WrestleMania. Most importantly, with every passing year, the drama and excitement would grow immensely. Every year, fans would ask, is this the year that the Streak ends? As a result of this high-stakes match, every pin fall, submission and signature move brought the fans to their feet, and every 2-count made the match feel bigger. Few WWE Superstars could hold the fans in the palm of their hand, but Undertaker, through the careful building of his matches and the presentation of the Streak, managed to do this perfectly every time he stepped through the ropes at WrestleMania. Even though the Streak has been broken, it's still something that has reached unparalleled levels of drawing power and importance to WWE history. There is never going to be anything even remotely close to the Undertakers Streak in WWE, and thats just one of the many reasons he WWEs #1 legend.
