15 Greatest WrestleMania matches of all time: Part 2

#2: The Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels, WrestleMania 26

The Streak vs Career match!

This match has a special place in my heart, due to the fact that Shawn Michaels is one of my favourite wrestlers of all time. This match had so much emotion and heart, which you rarely see in a WWE ring anymore, and it is an all-time classic.

From the start of this feud, WWE did an amazing job of making this so personal, with Michaels costing the Undertaker the World Heavyweight Championship at the Elimination Chamber, and not letting the Undertaker refuse one more match between the two.

From the entrances, it told the classic story of a man walking to the end of his career. It was like all the fans that night knew that this was the last time we’d ever see Shawn Michaels wrestle. Early in the match, The Undertaker was in deep control and was on the offensive. Of course, as the match went on, it was a lot of high impact moves, followed by dramatic kick-outs, which seems to be the only way to have a great match nowadays.

It was back and forth, as these two legends battled it out to keep what was so important to each of them. Both men pulling out all the stops, as they hit their signature moves multiple times, but in the end, as we all know, the Undertaker’s streak lived on, and the storybook of Shawn Michaels' career was closed forever.

After the celebration for the Undertaker was over, the sorrow from Shawn Michaels set in as we saw a legend walk away from the thing he loved the most. The Undertaker helped HBK up to his feet showed him the ultimate respect and shook his hand. Undertaker then left the ring, and gave Shawn his final moments in the ring, as he said goodbye to the fans.
