You know, back in the day, folks used to talk about this feller, Undertaker, and how he could do things nobody thought was possible. He was like one of them big legends you hear about, like the ones in the old country tales. This man, Undertaker, he got himself a streak at WrestleMania that’s just hard to believe, y’know? But I ain’t here to tell ya no fancy story, I’m just gonna lay it out plain and simple like you’d hear at the kitchen table.
Now, let me tell ya about this streak of his. He started way back in 1991, at WrestleMania VII. The feller was up against Jimmy Snuka, and wouldn’t you know it, Undertaker won. That was his first win, and from then on, it was like he couldn’t lose. He went on to rack up 21 straight wins at WrestleMania, which is a record that nobody thought would ever be beat. The man was unbeatable at the grandest stage of them all, that WrestleMania. Folks used to gather ’round the radio, talkin’ about this “Deadman” who’d show up year after year and beat whoever was standin’ across from him.
Now, in case you didn’t know, Undertaker’s streak went on for over 20 years. That’s two whole decades of folks tryin’ to take him down, but nobody could. And that’s somethin’ special. It’s not like he just showed up for a handful of matches. No, sir, he was there, year after year, takin’ on the toughest guys WWE could throw at him.
WrestleMania Matches – 27 of ‘Em!
You know, Undertaker didn’t just stop at 21 matches. Nope, the man ended up competing in 27 WrestleMania matches, more than anyone else in history. The next closest feller, Triple H, had 23, but Undertaker had him beat by 4. And let me tell ya, those 27 matches weren’t all easy. Some of them were tough, like when he had to face off against people like Shawn Michaels, and then there was that one with Triple H at Hell in a Cell. You think you’ve seen tough? Those matches were somethin’ else.
But, like I said, nothing lasts forever. In 2014, at WrestleMania 30, the streak finally came to an end. A young feller named Brock Lesnar came up against the Deadman, and he ended that perfect streak. The whole world was shocked. Folks couldn’t believe it. I reckon some still can’t wrap their heads around it. But even though Undertaker lost that one, don’t you go thinking less of him. He went on to win again, making his WrestleMania record 25-2. That’s still a mighty fine record, don’t you think?

Now, there’s somethin’ special about this man, the Undertaker. He didn’t just fight to win; he fought to keep that streak alive. And even when it ended, the legend of the Deadman didn’t fade away. The feller still had a presence, still got people talkin’, even when he wasn’t in the ring. That’s the kind of mark he left, one that’ll be remembered for years to come. Not just his streak, but his whole career – the way he carried himself, the way he made folks believe in the impossible.
Ending the Streak – What Happened After?
After his streak came to an end, the Undertaker didn’t just fade away like a lot of other wrestlers might. Nope, he came back to fight again. He had matches with Roman Reigns, and even though he lost some, the Undertaker’s legacy is still as big as ever. In fact, his last WrestleMania match, at WrestleMania 36, was a cinematic match against AJ Styles. It wasn’t like any of the others. It was a new thing, and folks seemed to like it. Some even said it was the perfect way for Undertaker to end his career, in a way that only he could do.
So, y’see, this feller didn’t just show up at WrestleMania to wrestle. He made it a spectacle, an event that people will never forget. Whether he won or lost, his matches are etched in the history of WWE. Ain’t nobody ever gonna forget The Undertaker, that’s for sure.
