The Time: March 30, 2008 - Wrestlemania

The Title: WWE World Heavyweight Championship

The contenders: Undertaker and Edge

Fans were expecting a decent match out of these two fixtures of the Attitude Era. However, what they got was wildly beyond any expectations they might have had.

The two men wrestled each other in a brutal contest that featured every major move and spot in their respective repertoires. Highlights include Undertaker hitting a Last Ride outside the ring, Edge nearly submitting the Deadman with a modified Scorpion Death Lock, and a fantastic finish that left Edge bleeding from the mouth.

While the two characters involved didn't create great sparks, their in ring work was pure genius, and the match solidified Edge as a no questions asked main event talent while adding to the legacy of the Undertaker in one fell swoop.
