This match was billed as the "Streak vs Career" match and 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.

It was back and forth, as these two legends battled it out to keep what was so important to each of them. Both men pulled 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.
