4 most emotional WrestleMania retirements

#1 Shawn Michaels

A reason why he is known as Mr. WrestleMania — Shawn Michaels is Mr WrestleMania for a reason

'The Show Stopper' is probably the most entertaining Superstar to have set foot into the ring. He always knew his way around the crowd and never came up short when it came to showmanship.

Shawn Michaels was a competitor that would attract people all over the world. His WrestleMania XII entrance in which he ziplined halfway across the arena to the ring is easily one of the best WrestleMania entrances.

After facing off against The Undertaker at WrestleMania XXV and coming up short, The Heart Break Kid wouldn't take no for an answer to have one more go at The Deadman's WrestleMania streak.

Michaels interfered in Taker's Elimination Chamber match to get his attention and Taker agreed to fight HBK one more time at WrestleMania XXVI only if Michaels would put his career on the line.

With a jam-packed arena waiting for the main event of the show, Michaels left no stone unturned in trying to defeat The Undertaker. Even when 'The Phenom' told him to stay down, HBK fought back valiantly and slapped Taker in the face to which Taker replied with a vicious version of the Tombstone, putting an end to Michaels' in-ring career.

Michaels makes occasional appearances on WWE television and it is always entertaining to watch 'The Show Stopper' gather the crowd and tune up the band.
