WWE on the road to Wrestlemania XXX: Undertaker's legacy

WrestleMania: the Super Bowl of all of professional wrestling.

It hatched on March 31, 1985. None other than at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

6 years later, the 29 year old Undertaker defeated Jimmy the "Superfly" Snuka for his first victory at
the Show Case for the Immortals. Then others attempted to defeat the Undertaker. Only to fail.
It ended the career of a legendary wrestler Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania 26 in 2010.

The Deadman further cemented his Wrestlemania legacy by defeating the WWE COO Triple H in
2011 and 2012, with the latter having Shawn Michaels as the special guest referee.

CM Punk dared to challenge the Undertaker last year, further infuriating the Phenom by mocking Paul Bearer who was a long time manager of the Deadman.


So these two squared off at WrestleMania 29 on April 7, 2013 at East Rutherford, New Jersey. A stone's throw away from WrestleMania's birth place Madison Square Garden.




So after defeating "The Best in the World", who does Undertaker fight for WrestleMania XXX in New Orleans, Louisiana, on April 6, 2014?




Enter the former UFC World Heavy Weight Champion BRRRROCK Lesnar.

Since returning to WWE, Lesnar hasn't been involved in many matches. But whenever he has been in the WWE Ring, he has left a lot of destruction behind.

 
 


But why has Lesnar been sending his advocate Paul Heyman this month?

 


Even though Undertaker has no issues to deliver messages to Lesnar via Paul Heyman, it seems the Phenom wants to confront 'The Beast Incarnate' face to face.

Personally I think it would have been better if Lesnar was talking to Undertaker via video. That way the rivalry between the two  would have ramped up to a point that people would want to see a one on one confrontation between the two superstars.

Perhaps we will see the second confrontation between Lesnar and Undertaker next Monday. At Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
