More details on the finish:
"The crowd was so cold, maybe because the match wasn’t good, maybe because everyone knew the outcome, that when Brock Lesnar hit his first F-5, and The Undertaker kicked out, there was no reaction. Even when he did it a second time, there was very little reaction.
Then he did it a third time. Referee Chad Patton, who knew the same finish that everybody else thought they knew, hit the mat once, and then twice, and then didn’t know what to do.
He was told Undertaker was winning, but the rule every referee is told is that if the guys doesn’t kick out, you continue the count.
Undertaker wasn’t kicking out. There was slight hesitation, which is why people were confused. Because he was confused. But he did his job.
It was at that point that time stood still, while Lesnar whispered in Undertaker’s ear, “Thank you.”"
