Shawn Michaels: Mr. WrestleMania

Shawn Michaels versus The Undertaker at 2009's WrestleMania XXV was considered an undercard event, but the veteran performers ended up stealing the night with a WWE duel for the ages.

With relatively little pre-match build-up and free of gimmicks, Michaels and Undertaker battled in an epic exhibition that left viewers gasping for air from all the near-pins and acrobatic spots. Ultimately, Undertaker prevailed and pushed his WrestleMania record to 17-0, but Michaels reconfirmed his status as Mr. WrestleMania because of his long history of brilliant performances at sports entertainment's grandest event.

"The great thing about last year was that every person in that stadium and every person watching on pay per view had a real emotional investment in each individual in the ring — and you can't always have that," Michaels said. "But you've got, between the two us, 40 years of WWE experience, where people know darn near everything about both of you, and I think that's truly what made it special. You've got two warriors of the WWE, two guys that have sort of been cornerstones of the organization, going out there."...More?
