#1 Shawn Michaels vs The Undertaker (Wrestlemania XXVI - March 28, 2010)

In the culmination (or so it was believed at the time) of their 13-year rivalry, The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels clashed in the headline position of Wrestlemania XXVI in a match wherein Michaels's career was on the line versus The Undertaker's famed unbeaten Wrestlemania winning streak.

With both participants having so much at stake, the re-match from the previous year's show-stealing Wrestlemania match between the two legends was even better.

Both men went for their signature moves early in the match and continued to trade big moves throughout the bout. Michaels targeted submissions on Undertaker's injured ankle displaying superb psychology by employing an ankle lock, figure four leglock and crossface.

Michaels also kicked out of chokeslams and the Tombstone Piledriver. With the crowd eating out of the palm of their hand, Michaels's attempted a fourth Sweet Chin Music super-kick but was countered into another chokeslam and Tombstone combination but again kicked out before the count of three.

However, a third Tombstone was finally enough for Undertaker to end Michaels's career (for eight years at least). It was a match which was the perfect blend between storytelling and compelling in-ring action for all of its 30-minute duration.

The legacy of this match is so great that it led to matches between Michaels's buddy, Triple H, and Undertaker and will lead to another next month when Michaels comes out of retirement to team with Triple H versus Undertaker and his brother, Kane.
