Underdog Tales: Brock Lesnar Ends The Undertaker's Streak

Today we continue our series of Underdog Tales, highlighting some of the greatest upsets in sports history.
This episode, we're doing something a little different, and discussing one of the craziest upsets in the history of pro wrestling: Brock Lesnar's defeat of The Undertaker at Wrestlemania XXX!
Joining us to share his expertise is podcaster and former WWE writer, Dave Schilling.
Succinctly describing who The Undertaker is... well, that's a difficult task. Whether he's an undead zombie, a gothic superhero, or a biker dude, he was a legend in the world of wrestling for years and years. Standing at 6'10 and wearing plenty of eyeliner, the Phenom was famous for his finishing move, the Tombstone Piledriver.
Starting in 1991, The Undertaker was undefeated in his Wrestlemania matches. 21 times in a row. An achievement known as "The Streak."
Then Brock Lesnar showed up. A monster of a man, this former college champion wrestler rose quickly in the WWE, becoming the youngest champion ever, before giving it all up to try playing football.
When he returned to the ring, he star once again rose quickly. A clash between the rising star and the legend of yore was inevitable.
And so, at Wrestlemania XXX in 2014, things came to a head. And not everyone was happy with how things went down.
Listen in to hear what happened.
