3 Times The Undertaker's famous Streak Almost came to an end

WrestleMania is the biggest spectacle in the WWE. It is the stage where history is made and legends are born. And, if there is one name that has almost become synonymous with WrestleMania, then it is The Undertaker.

‘The Phenom’ will go down as the greatest superstar in WrestleMania history; his run of 21 consecutive victories at The Showcase of the Immortals, famously referred to as ‘The Streak’, will go down as the biggest accomplishment in the event's history - a feat that has no equal. For over two decades, The Streak was the only constant at WrestleMania.

Many of WWE’s biggest icons, including the likes of Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Kane, Batista, Mark Henry and Ric Flair, have fallen in front of The Phenom at the Show Of Shows. Along this unprecedented journey, 'The Deadman' has given WWE fans memories that will last a lifetime.

In this article, let us look at three instances where all of us thought that The Streak was dead, only for The Undertaker to will the shoulder up.

#3.Triple H delivers the Tombstone to The Undertaker

The Undertaker was unable to walk back on his own feet after this match

This was a match in which The Undertaker got a savage beating. ‘The Game’, Triple H, launched a brutal assault on The Undertaker in his bid to end The Streak - but somehow, The Streak emerged intact. Triple H hit the Undertaker with multiple chair shots, and delivered three thunderous Pedigrees to him.

And then, came the moment in the match where all of us thought it was all over - Triple H lifted a battered Undertaker and delivered The Phenom's own finisher, the Tombstone Piledriver, on him.

One, Two……

The legendary Jim Ross even exclaimed on air, “A Tombstone of The Undertaker, has ended the cruel irony”. But somehow, someway, the Undertaker got the shoulder up. He then successfully locked the Hell's Gate submission on Triple H to go 19-0 at WrestleMania.

#2. Randy Orton Counters the Choke Slam Into an RKO

The 'Legend Killer' tried to bury the legend of The Undertaker at WM XXI

We travel back almost 15 years, to WrestleMania XXI, where the Legend Killer, Randy Orton, tried to bury the legend of The Undertaker by putting an end to the fabled Streak. It was a classic match that went back and forth like a pendulum.

And, there came a moment in the match where all us had our hearts beating faster, and we all thought - “That’s It! The Streak is over.”

The Undertaker went for a Choke Slam; Orton countered it brilliantly, and delivered a vicious RKO. But then, the move that had felled icons was not enough to subdue The Deadman. The Undertaker powered his shoulder up at two, and went on to deliver a thunderous Tombstone Piledriver to beat Randy Orton at The Grandest Stage Of Them All.

#1. Sweet Chin Music Followed By The Pedigree

This match will go down as the greatest match ever, in WrestleMania history

This match between two icons of the industry will go down as one of the greatest matches in the history of the WWE. The Undertaker and Triple H locked horns inside Hell In A Cell, with Shawn Michaels as the special guest referee. Triple H pounded The Undertaker with chair shots, a Spine-Buster on the steel steps, and a shot on his skull with his trademark sledge hammer.

And then, came the most iconic moment of the match up. The Undertaker went for the Tombstone, but Triple H escaped.

It all happened very quickly - Shawn Michaels delivered Sweet Chin Music, and before The Undertaker could even recover, Triple H caught him and delivered a Pedigree.

Over 70,000 people in the arena, and millions watching at home, would have thought that The Streak would die at that instant. But then, to the utter shock of the fans, The Undertaker willed the shoulder up at two almost on instinct. There was a huge roar, more out of disbelief than anything else.

The Undertaker went on to viciously attack Triple H with a steel Chair, and also hit The Game with his trusted sledgehammer; a second Tombstone followed, and The Phenom covered Triple H to move on to 20-0 at WrestleMania.
