In a match hyped as a clash between the darkness personified by The Undertaker and the light personified by Shawn Michaels, wrestling fans witnessed a wrestling spectacle many have gone on to claim as the greatest wrestling match of all time. Momentum swings paced the match in such a way that there was a tangible sense that Michaels might well do the unthinkable. So, imagine the gasps of millions watching the event worldwide when Michaels connected with Sweet Chin Music and pinned the Deadman.
