Fun Fact: Apparently Shawn Michaels vs. Eddie Guerrero was in the planning stages for WrestleMania 22 during the latter part of 2005 but unfortunately it was not to be because of Eddie's fatal heart attack. Could you imagine what that match would've been like? Could've been the greatest WrestleMania match of all-time.

They built it around the fact that Edge had an undefeated WM streak of his own ( they most likely forgot or chose to ignore WM 23 MITB ) and also the fact that Taker had never beaten Edge till that point.

Technical wrestling is great to watch. But charisma puts asses in seats. Even better was how the crowd flipped the script and how brilliantly and willingly The Rock and Hogan adjusted to it.

Actually that was just a Demo match for Vince's sake. Bret had come to him with the idea of a ladder match years before, but Vince just didn't get it. Finally Bret convinced Vince to let him show how it was done. Shawn had no idea what to do, so Bret walked him through it.... He asked Shawn to never steal the match..... and then later...

Taker/Helmsly 3, the "end of an era" match, was such a triumph of pro wrestling as storytelling. Every move had weight behind it, the pace was right where it needed to be, the reactions of all three men in the ring (Michaels was guest ref for this match) was perfect. Hell, I'd say that Shawn's reactions after those late match near falls were some of his best spots ever. Yes, in my opinion no match sense this one has fully captured the essence of wrestling as a storytelling medium. It truly was the end of an era.

Personally I preferred Taker and Shawn's Mania 25 match. There was less at stake, but there was much more of a "new" feeling to the whole thing. The two hasn't faced each other at Mania before then, so everything they did felt much more fresh and exciting. Plus the psychology was absolutely incredible to me. Seeing Michaels frantically beg the referee to count Undertaker out showed just how desperate he was to get his win, along with the fear he had that Undertaker really was almost unbeatable. Plus the whole "Finisher-Kick out" fest hadn't become the norm yet, so seeing it done so many times was insane, and many of the near falls felt believable. Even with the botched suicide dive, the Mania 25 match is my pick for the greatest of all time. In fact, that match is my favorite EVER. I can't think of a single match I've loved more than that one. Great video though, glad Michaels vs Taker still made it to the top of the list. :P

Pretty sure Savage vs Steamboat was largely a bunch of choreographed pinfall attempts that the 80s crowd was very much into. Even wrestling critics back in the day had a low opinion of the Hogan vs Andre match, especially the Ric Flair fans. Many wrestling audiences who grew up in the 80s are the same ones who boo short matches today. The younger generations are newer to the product and are less likely to chant "you can't wrestle".

A couple honorable mention picks: - Savage vs. Warrior, WM7 One hell of a moving story. - CM Punk vs. Undertaker, WM29 Excellent execution. Real drama & uncertainty over whether Taker would DQ over Punk's mind games.

finally someone who likes the 26 match more than the 25 match. Dont get me wrong, I LOVED Taker and Shawn's 25 Match, but like Brian said: The story was better and i personally think everything flowed more naturally. Plus, the video package to the rematch was one of the most perfect things i've ever seen in my life. Also, good video Brian.

@vampman872 жыл бұрын
Undertaker is my all-time favorite wrestler, and I saw both his matches with Shawn Michaels. I agree that the 26 match was better than 25, largely due to Taker not knocking himself out like he did last time but also because the emotional impact was far greater than the first. When Shawn lost the fist time I was like "well, ok, he's just another notch in the Streak," but when Taker had the match won but hesitated in giving the finisher because of how beaten Shawn was, and Shawn slowly grabbed Taker's leg to stand up, did the signal for the Tombstone, and slapped Taker, causing Taker to violently grab Shawn and Tombstone him, that was the PERFECT emotion-filled end.

You're not - you're 100% right. It was a good match, but not nearly as phenomenal as people seem to remember. It's not even the best hour-long match in WWE history...I'd put HHH-Rock at Judgment Day 2000 and possibly even HBK-Cena on RAW in 2007 over it. And make no mistake, while I have respect for all of them, I rate Bret and Shawn above HHH, Rock, and Cena on my all-time greats list.

The reason I like Taker Vs HBK at 25 more was because about halfway through it was the first match that actually made me believe that the streak could be broken, which I never ever thought was going to happen, where as 26 I knew it was going to be Shawn's last match which took away from the drama just a little bit. Shawn's defiance up until taking the final tombstone at 26 was far more emotional though.

I don't think modern day wrestling fans who became fans in the last 15 years can ever really fully appreciate the moment to close out WrestleMania 20. Those of us who grew up watching throughout the 90s all knew how good Eddie and Chris were, how much they deserved the top spot, but how unlikely it was that they would ever get there. To see them reach it simultaneously on one of the biggest stages ever (WM20 was a huge deal) was one of the all-time great payoffs for true wrestling fans. It's a real damn shame that WWE will never speak of it, especially on Eddie's behalf.

Great matches not doubt and its great that you took the time to make this list as its very difficult to come up with just 8 matches as everyone will have an opinion. A few other that I would either put on the list or as an honourable mention would be Hogan vs Warrior at WrestleMania 6, it probably could of be switched out with Hogan vs Rock as it was a better match. Another one that could be added is Warrior vs Savage career ending match at WrestleMania 7, only match worth mentioning for that event. Bret Hart vs the late Rowdy Roddy Piper for the Intercontinental Title at WrestleMania 8. Shawn Michaels vs Chris Jericho at Mania 19 was pretty damn good also
