Why are you taking away such a vital part of WrestleMania?’ It was like ‘This is as important as a title match.” The end of The Undertaker’s 21 consecutive WrestleMania victories remains a captivating topic in the wrestling community.

Jim Ross advocates for continuing The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak

On his Grilling JR podcast in 2021, WWE Hall of Famer expressed regret about The Undertaker’s streak ending. He says, “I was not for it when Undertaker’s streak [was] ended by Lesnar. Not a knock on Brock, just simply I thought that was such a unique calling card.” Jim Ross emphasized the uniqueness and significance of The Undertaker’s undefeated streak. 

He did state that even in 2021, he still wishes it had remained intact. The Undertaker officially retired at Survivor Series in 2020, concluding his illustrious career with a victory over AJ Styles at WrestleMania 36 in a Boneyard Match. In retirement, The Deadman receives lasting appreciation for his profound contributions, securing a legacy of gratitude from fans.
