Everyone knows the story that led up to the confrontation between WWE’s legendary Deadman and CM Punk at The Showcase of the Immortals on Sunday night. The build-up truly was the stuff of legend, as the devious deeds of The Straight Edge Assailant knew no bounds, and a sacred artifact was stolen away in the night. But Punk’s thievery didn’t end with the urn in his quest to snap The Undertaker’s mythical WrestleMania Streak. The tattooed villain and The Phenom exchanged blows and countered moves and kept the New Jersey crowd on edge for the duration of the battle. But as Punk ascended to the top ropes with The Deadman’s arm locked and ready to the deliver “Old School” to the move’s originator, the crowd rose with him. They remained standing until the bell sounded again and stayed on their feet when a familiar gong echoed throughout the stadium, signaling the exit of a living legend with the greatest streak in the history of sports-entertainment still intact.
