Badd Blood: In Your House. Wrestlemania XXV. Wrestlemania XXVI.

These are three matches that immediately come to mind when someone says “Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker was the greatest wrestling match of all time”. It becomes even more astonishing when one realises that every single one of these matches received a Meltzer rating of at least 4.75.

While all three matches are considered to be amongst the greatest of all time, their match at WrestleMania XXV is considered by many to be the single greatest wrestling match ever, and that warrants it a top spot on this list.

A perfect combination of the in-ring brilliance from their 1997 brawl and the psychology from their WrestleMania XXVI masterpiece, the match was chock-full of terrifying spots, such as that suicide dive.

Not only was this match full of perfect selling, death-defying spots and genuine emotion from both men, it also contained one of the best finishes in ‘Mania history. As Micheals leapt off the top rope for a moonsault, he was caught by ‘Taker and tombstone'd, with the ref’s three-count bringing an end to one of the greatest wrestling matches of all time.

The fact that Michaels and The Undertaker had three matches that are considered amongst the greatest of all time is a testament to their professionalism and chemistry.
