WrestleMania XXVI: Undertaker Vs. Shawn Michaels
WrestleMania is that season of the year when the reaper of souls, the dead man, the legendary, the phenomenal Undertaker becomes untouchable. It had been more than 18 years since great fighters and wrestlers from all over the world have tried to beat Undertaker at Wrestle Mania but all have failed one after another. No other wrestler in the history of professional wrestling has accomplished something which is even near to the unbeaten streak of Undertaker.
Some people now even believe that there is perhaps no wrestler in the world that can beat the immortal, Undertaker.
It was the season of WrestleMania XXVI and wrestling fans were talking about the potential opponent of Undertaker. Undertaker has beaten many of the famous names of the wrestling world like Triple – H, Randy Orton, Ric Flair, Mark Henry, Giant Gonzales and more. Some people thought there will be no one who will rise against the challenge of Undertaker. But then the whole wrestling world was shocked when no other than show stopper, the main event, the Heart Break Kid, Mr. WrestleMania, the legendary Shawn Michaels, revealed his obsession to defeat the Undertaker at WrestleMania.
Shawn Michaels is perhaps the only wrestler in the world of professional wrestling who fought with Undertaker at WrestleMania XXV and nearly defeated him. Now Shawn Michaels wanted a rematch and stood in front of the Undertaker and challenged him.
Undertaker told Michaels that he had his chance and he should forget a one-on-one fight. But Shawn Michaels was obsessed with fighting Undertaker so he intervened in every match of the dead man and attacked him. Their rivalry heated up and came to a point where stakes were high and anything could happen.
Shawn Michaels again challenged the Undertaker and asked for a historic rematch which will be remembered for ever in the world of professional wrestling. But then Undertaker said something which shocked everyone. Undertaker made the stipulation that if he himself is putting his unbeaten streak on the line then Shawn Michaels has to pay the ultimate price by putting his career on the line. This meant that if Shawn Michaels loses than his professional wrestling career will be over.
Shawn Michaels accepted the challenge because he knew that to achieve the ultimate goal, he has the pay the ultimate price. And then came Judgment Day known as Wrestle Mania where the match of Undertaker and Shawn Michaels was the main event.
The match started with hardcore extreme wrestling moves from both legends of professional wrestling. Undertaker executed his famous move called “The Last Ride” and slammed the body of Shawn Michaels in the ring. Undertaker then went old school and punched the back of HBK. Shawn Michaels returned the favor by kicking the face of Undertaker with his special wrestling finisher called “The Sweet Chin Music”.
Both wrestlers went for the cover against each other after executing their moves but both kicked out as the referee counted to 3. It seemed for a moment that the match may never end as stakes were high and no wrestling legend was willing to back down.
And then the 20-year old career ended with the most dreaded move in the wrestling world called the Tomb Stone Pile Driver. Undertaker executed this move and crushed the skull of Shawn Michaels on the ring floor and quickly went for the cover. The career of Shawn Michaels evaporated in the air as the referee counted to 3 with the shoulders of Shawn Michaels touching the ring floor.
The crowd went crazy and cheered this fallen hero who paid the ultimate price. Everyone knew that perhaps there will be no Show Stopper in the wrestling world like the legendary Shawn Michaels.
