Their first 5-star classic

WWE WrestleMania 25 in 2009 wasn't the first time that Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker had a 10/10 epic encounter.

They feuded in 1997 through early 1998 with many good matches, but the one that stands out the most is their clash at Badd Blood 1997, which also happened to be the first ever Hell in A Cell match. It was half an hour of a flat-out action packed bloodbath.

Everything here was just so perfect. While Shawn did get a lot of offence and moves in, he also took one of the biggest beatings in history, probably only being beaten by The Undertaker's destruction on Mankind the following year in the same match. Shawn looked like he had walked out of heel when all was said and done, he was covered in that much blood.

We have some very violent chair shots that you would never see in today's world, as well as Shawn hitting Taker with a piledriver onto the steel steps. They make it outside the Cell and to the top where we have some scary moments that eventually lead to Taker stamping Shawn off the top to the table below.

As Shawn is lying helpless, looking like he is already dead, Taker signals for the Tombstone before his 'brother' Kane makes his historic debut and hits Taker with a Tombstone of his own, allowing Shawn to make the cover for the win. An absolutely excellent match.
