12 Incredible Behind-The-Scenes WrestleMania Photos
1. The End
A impassioned embrace between two pillars of the biggest wrestling organisation in the world, Vince McMahon's firm hug of The Undertaker occurs right before 'The Deadman' was to enter a WrestleMania ring undefeated for the last time.
Sharing a profound moment together, the gravitas of what is about to transpire does not seem lost between the two ahead of the contest.
It was revealed in interviews with several insiders after the event that Vince's decision to end Undertaker's legendary unbeaten streak was a late call typical of McMahon's increasingly off-the-cuff decision-making, but it's likely he still required a level of approval from 'Taker himself to go through with the plan.
The result is likely to be a point of debate between wrestling fans for generations, but it certainly created one of the most shocking moments in the show's history.
