The two WrestleMania matches between The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels surely rival any other bouts in the grand history of the event. Indeed, there was a sense going in that the matches would be good, but nobody could have guessed just how smooth and dramatic they would turn out to be. In the first encounter, taking place at 'Mania 25, Michaels would tell the tale that he deserved to be the one to break Undertaker's WrestleMania winning streak, because he was known as 'Mr. WrestleMania'. It was a simple story, one that didn't need much convolution, given the status of both men and how well regarded they are by fans young and old. For many people, this match should have been the main event of the card, because Randy Orton vs. Triple H couldn't possibly hope to follow it. That proved to be correct, as Undertaker and HBK pieced together one hell of a spectacle. In the end, it'd be 'Taker who would leave victorious, but not after a few heart-stopping near falls.
