When Shawn Michaels and Undertaker produced that classic at WrestleMania 25, we all wondered if they'd be capable of replicating that success the following year.

Putting Michaels' career on the line added an urgency that the pair's previous match didn't have and it arguably made it an even more compelling watch (even if it didn't quite eclipse its predecessor in the action department).

In the end, HBK couldn't beat The Streak and 'The Deadman' conquered his biggest challenge. He didn't take Michaels' soul but he did take his career - and what a fitting end to that legendary career it was.
