The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels should be VERY proud of the art they delivered at WM 25 & 26. Couldn’t be more proud as a die hard fan of both legends.

Taker and shawn should've main evented wm25. But the game played his game backstage

[@Gabriela-Acevedo]

Couldn't believe they went with Orton vs HHH for like the 100th time. That rivalry became overkill in 2008. Just like Hogan and Rock should've been main event in 2002, HBK vs Undertaker should've been main event also.

[@Jjj-zz7bz]

@@Gabriela-Acevedo Actually the Orton HHH feud was hot and had a bunch of momentum because of the great build up. But obviously it wasn’t a great match and it clearly wasn’t the right choice for the main event

[@troyancheta3803]

I'm glad Taker liked how the botch dive into the cameraman contributed a lot to the match because you can clearly see in his face how disappointed he was right after that dive. But like he said, it added to the story and it really was my favorite Wrestlemania match ever

UnderTaker Vs Shawn was one of the best matches i've ever seen

[@Gabriela-Acevedo]

Undertaker and HBK had best match of the 90's at Bad blood 1997, best match of the 2000's at Wrestlemania 25, and best match of 2010's at Wrestlemania 26.

[@cowpoke3637]

There were better matches in the 2010's

[@JBLegitttt]

Way better matches in the 90’s too. You high af. Bret vs Austin, Shawn vs Bret, Bret vs Davey, Taker vs Mankind, Austin vs The Rock. Best debut maybe (Kane) but not the best match of the 90’s by any stretch.

[@broken75.20]

@@JBLegitttt the only better match in WWE in the 90's is Bret Hart VS Steve Austin. Austin VS Rock? The 90's one was really meh. Shawn VS Bret was amazing but it's really just because the title changes is one of the best in pro westling history. The match itself is better for 1997, with arguably the greatest performance in Shawn Michaels career.

[@miguelcolmenares3134]
