WWE: 6 Reasons Shawn Michaels Vs The Rock Is The Best Feud Never Seen

2. The WrestleMania Moment

Sure, the matches could happen anywhere, but the big one (or the only one, if it's a one-time-for-all-time sort of thing) needs to take place in the main event of WrestleMania €“ only the biggest slot of the year at the biggest show of the year (in front of the biggest crowd of the year) will do for the biggest match of the year. Just like most of WWE's dream matches before it, the granddaddy of 'em all is the place to settle the score. WrestleMania has a vibe and an energy unlike any other wrestling event €“ it's a Superbowl and a festival all in one, and if anything could make The Rock versus Shawn Michaels bigger than it already is, it's the show of shows. The all-out marketing blitz, the mainstream publicity, the local buzz in the host city, even the t-shirts... all of these things are WrestleMania finery at its most joyful, and all are worthy of a Shawn Michaels-Rock showdown. Plus, for sheer emotion, nothing beats WrestleMania. Think of Ric Flair or HBK's tearful goodbyes in front of crowds of 70,000 plus, The Rock's homecoming in Miami at WrestleMania XXVIII, or any of the big babyface win celebrations that have closed out the show. With this one, though, we might get a very special moment...
