https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h149xXCA9fI Shawn Michaels put his career on the line versus the Undertaker's streak in this rematch, but far be it from Vince McMahon to not miss the opportunity to note that it was also a match featuring a born-again Christian again fighting the devil (for maybe the last time). Shawn enters the ring with more Jesus symbolism happening than a church at Easter. Undertaker rises up through a hole in the staging, and has lasers to greet him, along with a deluge of smoke and fire that symbolizes pretty much that the Undertaker is the man coming from hell to end Christian wrestler Shawn Michaels' career. If this didn't occur in a pro wrestling ring, it would be considered too absurd and over-the-top for any other form of entertainment.
