Gong. Gong. The streak is dead. Yes, as I'm sure you've all heard, seen, or even felt there-was-a-great-disturbance-in-the-force-style, The Undertaker's undefeated streak at WrestleMania has been broken by "The Beast Incarnate" Brock Lesnar. His record stands at 21-1 and, whether he returns to avenge his loss or whether he rides off into the sunset, nothing can change the fact that 'Taker's record is forever blemished. A large part of the shock that came with Lesnar's victory had to do with the fact that he was chosen to end the streak.

The streak, described as "The Holy Grail" of WrestleMania, could have made a new career, or at least led to interesting storylines with someone who's going to be on TV every week.
