Many regard this as the best match in WrestleMania history. What makes it even more astonishing was how late in both men's careers it came. Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker were rivals in the '90s but had surprisingly never met in a one-on-one encounter since the former's 2002 return.

Both were different men from the heyday of their rivalry 10 years earlier, so this could almost be mistaken for a first time ever match.

There was one infamous botch on Undertaker's part, with his top-rope suicide dive leaving us genuinely worried, but thankfully he came out of it unharmed. What followed from there was a war, but a graceful, majestic one, that lasted for 30 minutes.

Both men were astonished that they couldn't finish the other, with Undertaker's facial expression after Shawn Michaels kicked out of the Tombstone becoming an instant legend.

Eventually, Shawn Michaels made the mistake which cost him the match, with his moonsault being caught and turned into another Tombstone. This would set up the next match, as Michaels could justly claim that Undertaker only managed to win and preserve his streak by the skin of his teeth.
