#2 The Match

The heart of the match was its stipulation. No one expected Michaels to retire at that point and no one saw Undertaker’s streak coming to an end as well. The anticipation was at its epitome and once it was made the main event of the pay-per-view, the stakes couldn’t have been any higher.

All those train of thoughts were broken with the opening bell and we were off to a pacey start. Both men knew each other so well that they were just flowing through the entire match rather than having to pause to decide what to do next.

The submission moves were in plenty and so were the counters. Taker delivered a vicious Tombstone to Michaels and Michaels on the other hand delivered a great moonsault onto the announce table.

After Taker’s second Tombstone, the fans thought that the match was over but Michaels kicked out at two. The face of Undertaker, which is known to scare the hell out of most of the fans, was painted with utter disbelief.

Michaels barely made it into his feet and slapped Taker. The slap angered Taker further and he proceeded to give a jumping tombstone to Michaels. One, two, three, and it was curtains on one of the greatest wrestling careers.
