10 Superstars and the most iconic WrestleMania use of their finisher(s)

#3 The Undertaker at WrestleMania XXVI

The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels delivered classic matches at back-to-back WrestleManias, each one finishing with a spectacular Tombstone Piledriver.

Where WrestleMania XXVI takes the cake, though, is in its setup, which crams volumes worth of story and character into a single move. The match was billed as a Career Vs. Streak Match; Michaels was so determined to end Undertaker's career-spanning undefeated streak on wrestling's biggest stage that HBK vowed to hang up his boots if he failed to become the first tally in Undertaker's WrestleMania loss column.

Echoing the time, two years prior, where Michaels had ended the career of Ric Flair, in which Flair had begged Michaels to finish him off, The Heartbreak Kid spent the final moments of his wrestling career trying to goad a reluctant Undertaker into one final show of brutality; Shawn wanted to be put down for good, and refused to call it a career if he could still physically get up.

Undertaker refused to comply and seemed disgusted by Michaels' refusal to give up, so HBK forced his hand: the Heartbreak Kid slapped The Deadman hard across the face, sending Taker into a fury and spurring the most emphatic jumping Tombstone, and most forceful funeral-style pin, of Taker's WrestleMania career.

Other Great Uses

There could be an entire article of Undertaker's Ten Best WrestleMania Tombstones; on the list would undoubtedly be the one he delivers to Ric Flair at WrestleMania X8 (which causes Naitch's blood to pool on Big Evil's leather pants), the jaw-dropping display of strength Taker showed in Tombstoning Mark Henry at WrestleMania 22, or the reversal of Michaels' attempt to re-enter the ring by "skinning the cat" at WrestleMania 25.
