Shawn Michaels has repeatedly claimed he will never wrestle another match again. To date, HBK has stayed true to the retirement stipulation of his WrestleMania XXVI rematch with The Undertaker. Such resolve only makes the match feel more important when viewed today.

'Taker and Michaels had already shown what they could do as far back as 1997 (that first ever Hell in a Cell match features earlier on this list, but an honourable mention should be given to the Royal Rumble 1998 headliner between both men). As if that wasn't enough, they had also worked one of the best WWE matches ever at WrestleMania 25.

The pressure was on to better themselves at 'Mania XXVI. 'Taker and Shawn couldn't quite manage that feat, but there's no shame in that. After all, what happened in 2009 was special, and they still managed to put on quite the show in 2010 and cap off HBK's career in stunning style.
