WWE: 12 Moves Brock Lesnar Must Use To End The Undertaker's Streak

5. Mick Foley Pushes The Undertaker Off The Top Rope And He Dramatically Falls Through A Table

The most terrifying thing that the Undertaker has ever done in his career was throw Mankind off of Hell in a Cell. The set-up for this is actually super simple. Have Foley (alongside a bunch of other WWE legends) sitting at ringside during Wrestlemania. He's there popcorn in hand, being UNUSUALLY chipper about everything. High-fiving the Usos, dancing like the Funkadactyls, just generally being Mick Foley being awesome. Of course, near the end of Taker versus Brock, Taker goes up top to do "Old School." At this point, Foley jumps over the barricade, hobbles into the ring, and pushes Taker backwards. Taker flies back and takes the big bump through the Spanish announce table. Foley looks deranged (in a manner similar to Mankind), but peaceful (and is led away by the cops). At this point, Taker's already tired, injured and bloody, and going through the table allows Brock to roll him back into the ring, give him the F5 and end the streak. Of course, this leads to Foley returning to TV as a friend to Heyman (basically a great way to conserve the number of days that Lesnar can appear) who assaults people that they feel (like the Undertaker) have robbed him of a peaceful retirement. The moment comes when Mick finally explains his motivations, discussing his very real aches, pains and memory loss (all which can be traced back to what the Undertaker and others, did). Of course, for his troubles, Lesnar returns and F5's Foley (as Foley has destroyed all of the legends who would've stood in Brock's way to being the greatest WWE wrestler of all time) and breaks his arm with the Kimura. Of course, at some point past this, this would ideally lead to someone like a newly-babyface Roman Reigns to assume the fight for both Foley and Undertaker (and anyone else injured by Foley-as-Mankind, who would then turn to Reigns to handle business).
