5 greatest opponents of The Undertaker

2) Shawn Michaels

HBK taking on The Undertaker

Mr WrestleMania and the Phenom. It did not get any better than this. While it looked as those Michaels was undersized and outmatched by the much bigger and powerful ‘Taker, he held his own and put together some of the best matches in WrestleMania history.

The fact he was the special guest referee in the match between Undertaker and Triple H at WrestleMania 28 shows how personal the history between these two is.

For two years, WrestleMania 25 and 26, Michaels tried to do the impossible in ending the streak. Both times he failed. But his legend grew even after his two legendary matches in the company’s biggest setting.

The image of Michaels, Triple H and Undertaker walking back up the ramp after the match when ‘Taker barely escaped with a win is forever etched in history as one of the single greatest moments in the annals of WrestleMania lore.
