If you don't count Michaels taking bumps during high-profile Triple H matches so that Helmsley can suck wind, then WrestleMania XXVI was indeed his swan song. Even with compressed time due to earlier matches running long, Michaels and Undertaker just about matched the quality of their battle from a year earlier.

While some worked melodrama falls flat under the weight of its own BS (depending on the example), Undertaker acting conflicted about ultimately finishing Michaels off, with HBK defiantly goading him into doing so, was a magnificent ending. In his last act as a wrestler, Michaels did what he always does (end a great match on a high note) and what he used to have problems doing (the right thing).
