To peek behind the curtain a little, the inspiration behind putting this entire article together came from seeing the sole image featured here.

After The Undertaker’s iconic streak came to a crushing end at WrestleMania XXX thanks to the sheer physical dominance of Brock Lesnar. The streak was never going to end, right? For sure, that was the mindset that the collective wrestling world had long held. And if it was to end, surely it would be an upcoming talent getting the rub rather than someone like Paul Heyman’s Beast? Oh, how wrong we were.

Never has there been a more impactful silence at a wrestling event. The crowd was in absolute shock as they questioned what they’d just seen. Emotions ranged from anger, to wondering whether Lesnar had gone into business for himself, to contemplating a ref botch on the count, to a slew of confused possibilities. And all of those emotions were perfectly summed-up in the face of a fan by the name of Ellis Mbeh.

In a super-cool turn of events, Ellis and The Phenom would get to poke fun at that iconic ‘Mania XXX moment during a WrestleMania 32 signing session.
