The 4 greatest retirement matches in WWE WrestleMania history

#1: The Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels, WrestleMania 26

It was one hell of a ride for Shawn Michaels!

This match has a special place in my heart, due to the fact that Shawn Michaels is one of my favourite wrestlers of all time. This match had so much emotion and heart, which you rarely see in a WWE ring anymore.

From the entrances, it told the classic story of a man walking to the end of his career. It was like all the fans that night knew that this was the last time we’d ever see Shawn Michaels wrestle.

Early in the match, The Undertaker was in deep control and was on the offensive. Of course, as the match went on, it saw a lot of high impact moves, followed by dramatic kick-outs and reversals.

WWE did a remarkable job in building up this feud. It went way back to WrestleMania 25, where The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels gave it their all to produce a match so legendary, that even WWE claims it as one of the greatest matches of all time.

It was back and forth, as these two legends battled it out to keep what was so important to each of them. Both men pulling out all the stops, as they hit their signature moves multiple times, but in the end, as we all know, the Undertaker came out on the top and the streak lived on, and the storybook of Shawn Michaels' career was closed forever.

After the celebration for the Undertaker was over, Shawn Michaels looked dejected, as he knew he was walking away from the thing he loved the most. The Undertaker helped him up to his feet showed him the utmost respect. Undertaker then left the ring, and gave Shawn his final moments in the ring, as he said goodbye to the fans.
