WWE Hall Of Famer Shawn Michaels' WrestleMania matches and performances deserve a special place in WWE history. The Heartbreak Kid's continued ability to steal the show at the event led to him being billed as "Mr. WrestleMania."

Michaels is so synonymous with the PPV that he even competed in his retirement match in the main event of WrestleMania XXVI in 2010 against The Undertaker.

Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker competed in arguably one of the greatest WrestleMania matches in WWE history the year prior to this one.

Despite his best efforts, Shawn Michaels was unable to defeat The Undertaker at the event, meaning The Deadman's fabled WrestleMania undefeated streak continued.

12 months later, Shawn Michaels was desperate to receive one more opportunity at breaking "The Streak."

After several challenges were declined by The Undertaker, The Phenom finally accepted Michaels' WrestleMania XXVI challenge.

However, he accepted the match under the condition that if Shawn Michaels lost, HBK would be forced to retire.

In a spectacular match billed as "Streak vs. Career," The Undertaker once again defeated Shawn Michaels, ending Mr. WrestleMania's career on the Grandest Stage Of Them All.

Competing in what was then thought to be the final match of his career, Shawn Michaels was 45 years old. This made him one of the oldest WrestleMania main eventers in WWE history.
