Wrestlemania 25: Shawn Michaels vs The Undertaker

Streak Threatening Match:
Shawn Michaels vs The Undertaker



To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.


Only the 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania would be an appropriate stage for two quintessential WWE icons – the celebrated innovator, Shawn Michaels, and the venerated spectre, Undertaker – to take arms.

At The Biggest Spectacle of Them All, the WWE Universe will witness a guaranteed timeless battle between The Showstopper and that which can not be stopped, The Phenom’s unblemished winning streak.

WrestleMania canon bears a veritable who’s who of WWE Superstars – including many past friends and foes alike of The Showstopper – that have fallen to the cold, callous grip of The Phenom. But while Undertaker’s 16 remarkable victories against individuals of all types and talents stand irrefutable, it remains a rarely visited truth that The Deadman has never beaten HBK.

Like his opponent, Michaels has established his own niche at WWE’s greatest annual extravaganza. HBK convincingly secured the moniker “Mr. WrestleMania” with leaps from ladder tops, the fulfillment his adolescent dream to be WWE Champion and, just last year, by ending careers of living legends.

Away from the glow and eminence of WrestleMania, for Michaels, it’s been a long few months of hardship and internal turmoil born from unforeseen financial burden. Commencing 2009 as a conflicted and humbled man beneath the impugning thumb of John “Bradshaw” Layfield, HBK persevered to reclaim his stability and with it, his pride.

Reborn and given the opportunity to perform like only he can, Michaels not only conquered JBL, but also a well-equipped warrior from SmackDown territory in Vladimir Kozlov. On a critical edition of Monday Night Raw, HBK once again stopped the show, along with the pristine singles record of the Moscow Mauler – an individual who has pinned countless former World Champions in recent months. Michaels’ dual triumphs against his former employer and Kozlov earned him the incontestable right to challenge The Deadman and the legendary 16-0 winning streak at WrestleMania.

Thus, it has been proven true that “it’s hell getting into heaven,” as Undertaker himself iterated to HBK at the Royal Rumble, in a moment that foreshadowed their imminent encounter. As fate would have it, the clouds have parted and the paradise alluded to by The Deadman is WrestleMania, where in order to ascertain immortality, Michaels must overcome a rather grim gatekeeper.

No doubt, both The Showstopper and his apparition-like opposition are two consummate performers who tend to excel on a stage of this caliber. Which of these dueling destinies will eclipse the other? Will the almost mythic streak of The Phenom be sacrificed? Or will the initials “HBK” be inscribed on the 17th headstone in Undertaker’s macabre WrestleMania graveyard?

Find out live on pay-per-view on Sunday, April 5, as the 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania is celebrated in Houston’s Reliant Stadium

Oh man.. what to say?

This match is going to be so good. I'm sure it'll be overrated and that many are already overrating it, but imo the two best wrestlers in WWE (arguably) going at it in Texas will be great. Never mind the hints of greatness they produced in the RR matches.

Re: Wrestlemania 25: The Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels

All I can say about this is that its one of those matches which makes you glad to be a fan. Two of the best ever going one on one on the grandest stage of them all, with the history they've had, the streak and everything else. It should be phenomenal.

Like last year before the HBK/Flair match, it will be amazing during the entrances and the staredown. The feeling that something epic is about to take place.

I can not wait to watch this. Give these guys twenty minutes to show what they can do and they could very well likely put on match of the night.

Re: Wrestlemania 25: Shawn Michaels vs The Undertaker

It should by all rights be something great, and whilest I try to never get my hopes up too high for big matches, I can't see it not being. Hopefully people don't go in with the mindset that this will be great no matter what, though. The atmosphere alone will be something.

I actually didn't realize that. Combined with the fact that HBK just beat Kozlov, (even though he was dominated for most of the match) this is shaping up to be the biggest threat to the streak so far. Like Steve, though, I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high.

Re: Wrestlemania 25: Shawn Michaels vs The Undertaker

The atmosphere in Houston is going to be great for this two, a la 2007 Royal Rumble. As far as I can recall, they've not faced each other in more than 10 years, except for those minutes in the Rumble. A real dream match, so, I'll do my bet to keep my expectations low but I'm not making any promises. =)

Re: Wrestlemania 25: Shawn Michaels vs The Undertaker

Now this is WWE booking doing the right thing. It started out with a fantastic transition with JBL versing HBK for the right. Then it transitioned from Kozlov, the man with an undefeated streak of his own versing Shawn Michaels for the right. This off the bat was good because either you had streak verses streak at Wrestlemania or the streak ender verses another man with a streak. Not to mention the fact that Shawn sent Ric Flair into retirement last year. It is another legend versing legend and I think the storyline was fantastic. It has been one of the few WWE storylines that I think back on and go, "That really is a good angle."

I'll be looking forward to the match at Wrestlemania and think that beside Randy Orton vs. Triple H that this match will steal the show. Wrestlemania is looking pretty intense this year, I can't lie.

I agree. These guys wanted each other since last fall and I have a feeling they will leave EVERYTHING in the ring that night. This might be this generations Flair/Steamboat. A match talked about for years to come.
