The match which preceded it may have been a heatless mess, largely due to an exhausted arena impatiently waiting for the inevitable, but the drama which followed was true pathos.

Obviously we all knew this coming into WrestleMania, and there was no way The Undertaker was going to call it a day with a victory, so let's just forget the result and appreciate its role in setting up this most deserved of send-offs.

After about seven hours of action, watching a man slowly undress in the ring was a tad laborious - especially when it seemed he might not stop at the hat - but ignoring the tiredness, the raw emotion on display was palpable. WWE desperately try to manufacture 'WrestleMania moments' each year since they decided those are a 'thing', but none of them can compare to something as genuine as this. Not just a WrestleMania moment, but a soon-to-be defining image in the history of the industry.

Runner-up: The Hardy Boyz win tag gold.

Not much explanation needed here really. Legendary tag-team returns unexpectedly, win titles, everybody happy.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
