Unquestionably the most infamous match of The Undertaker's career, his WrestleMania XXX showdown with Brock Lesnar was the match that ended The Streak. That, however, only scratches the surface of the story behind this one.

It was also a match that ended 'Taker's streak of seven-straight Match Of The Night 'Mania classics as it was a dull, plodding slog to watch that just felt like it was never going to end. The reason being that 'Taker had suffered a concussion at some point early in the match (that even he can't pinpoint where it happened) and, for the remainder of the contest, fought on with a dazed look in his eyes.

Hearing the interviews from 'Taker, his wife Michelle McCool and Vince McMahon on The Last Ride documentary, you realize just how severe the concussion he suffered was. Not only could the man not remember his own name for hours after the match, he now can't recall anything about WrestleMania XXX at all.

Concussions aren't to be taken lightly and while the fact that he carried on without even knowing he had one was indeed a testament to the strength of his spirit, it was also incredibly lucky that he didn't end his own career in the process.
