Mat Insiders: Ranking The 31 WrestleMania Main Events

3. Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker at WrestleMania 26- The stipulation of The Streak vs. The Career really turned up the heat in a match that was expected to have the fans on the edge of their seats. The match wasn’t the most technically-sound match I’ve ever seen, but the emotion and big moments made up for it. Fans couldn’t picture HBK or The Undertaker losing, which made every two-count that much more intense. When Undertaker hit the final Tombstone Piledriver needed to defeat Shawn Michaels, the crowd realized what had just happened. The Undertaker stayed undefeated at WrestleMania, but Shawn Michaels’ career was over. This match was an amazing match because of the two competitors in the match.

2. Shawn Michaels vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin at WrestleMania 14- This match is one of the main matches that started “The Attitude Era”. Michaels was that cocky champion who had the backup in the form of D-Generation-X. Stone Cold was that guy who didn’t care who you were or where you came from, he was going to beat you up. The factor of having “Iron” Mike Tyson as the Special Enforcer really made things interesting, especially when he seemed to have sided with DX. The match itself was intense. There never was a break in the action, which kept fans intrigued the whole time. The craziness that ensued at the end of the match is what really sparked “The Attitude Era”, as Austin hit HBK with a stunner and Tyson got into the ring to call the three-count for Austin. All of the emotion and unpredictable moments in this match truly set the tone for the following years.
