1. Shawn Michaels vs The Undertaker - Wrestlemania XXV

As revealed in his new documentary, this is the match that made Michaels set in motion his retirement from professional wrestling believing he would never be able to top this match in his career.

Taking place on the silver anniversary of Wrestlemania the two cornerstones of the WWE Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker were pitted against each other in their home state of Texas.

The pair had previously shown fantastic chemistry as they battled it out over a decade before in another classic; the first ever Hell in a Cell match. A short but so very sweet taster in the closing stretches of the 2007 Royal Rumble only served to further the expectations for their showdown. Even with the considerable hype however nobody could have predicted what happened next.

In an amazing showpiece the two veterans not only shattered all expectations but produced what many people consider the greatest match in Wrestlemania history.

As soon as the final bell rung this match went down as a modern day masterpiece, touted as arguably the greatest match in WWE history its profound effects far outstretched the 70,000+ awestruck fans who witnessed it first hand in the Reliant Stadium that night.

Legendary Hall of Famer Bret €˜Hitman€™ Hart€™s cites this match has one of the reasons for his reconciliation and return to World Wrestling Entertainment 13 years after the infamous €˜Montreal Screwjob€™. Triple H and Chris Jericho two future Hall of Famers in their own right have both gone on record saying this is the greatest match the business has ever seen.

No matter your personal opinion, one thing is for certain this match is the epitome of everything pro wrestling is meant to be and just one of the reasons Shawn Michaels is known as €˜Mr Wrestlemania€™.
