WWE WrestleMania Mixtape: Booking The Perfect ’Mania

2. Best Match From The Undertaker's Streak

Percentage Of Votes: 49.9%.

Other Choices: vs. Shawn Michaels ('Mania XXVI - 29.9%), vs. Triple H ('Mania XXVIII - 10.9%), vs. CM Punk ('Mania 29 - 9.3%).

Not many of the first 10 or so matches in The Undertaker's legendary WrestleMania winning streak are worth revisiting. Bouts against Diesel, Kane, Triple H and Ric Flair get a pass, but wobblers vs. Giant González, King Kong Bundy and Big Boss Man were atrociously poor.

Match quality had improved significantly by the time 'Taker met Shawn Michaels at 'Mania XXV. That masterclass in psychology, star power and workrate would go on to become cherished, and deservedly so. Their chemistry was so good that fans even voted the sequel in second place behind the original. That says everything.

If you only watch one match this WrestleMania season, make it that colossus in Houston.
