In addition to his long list of accolades, Brock Lesnar will always be known as the one who ended ‘the streak’. In 2014, ‘The Beast Incarnate’ asserted his dominance over one of the greatest of all times in WWE, The Undertaker. And, needless to say, it was as shocking as it could ever be.
However, March 24th was the day ‘The Phenom’ began his spectacular WrestleMania streak. It started in 1991 WrestleMania 7 where he defeated Jimmy ‘Superflý’ Snuka. But, here is an astonishing coincidence. A rare mugshot of Brock Lesnar on the same day in 1991 popped up on Twitter that is probably the mother of all coincidences.

How ‘The Beast’ Ended The Undertaker’s Famous Streak
The Undertaker has built up a legacy that is unsurmountable for anyone. Just four months after his WWE debut, ‘The Deadman’ had the thrashing victory at WrestleMania over Jimmy ‘Superfly’ Snuka. Also, March 24th, 1991, was his 26th birthday.
He grew into prominence following the victory, teaming up with Jake ‘The Snake’ Roberts and locking horns with Hulk Hogan and The Ultimate Warrior. Further, he evolved through various gimmicks and eras alongside many legends in the company.

Later, after thirty years, he still kept the 21-0 unbeaten record at the biggest WWE event until ‘The Conqueror‘ came in. In one of the most eventful matches ever in history, Lesnar and Taker gave their everything in the WrestleMania 30 match, with steel chairs and leather belts as weapons. In the end, the Beast Incarnate had the last laugh as he defeated Taker and became the 1 in 21 – 1.
