I'm sorry, anywhere in my post did I type, "I think the Undertaker vs. Sheamus is going to be even better than Undertaker vs. HBK for the past two years." Yeah I really didn't think so. I said Undertaker vs. Sheamus because Undertaker is known for having good Wrestlemania matches and obviously since WWE is moving in younger direction, if Sheamus can have a semi decent match then it could put him over more.
Also, you are implying that every single year The Undertaker's Wrestlemania matches have been better. So pretty much you are saying that WM 15 vs Bossman was better than WM 14 vs Kane. So what you're saying is that WM 19 vs A-Train and The Big Show? was better than WM 18 vs Flair. What you're saying is that WM 22 vs Mark Henry? was better than WM 21 vs Randy Orton.
I think its pretty safe to say that some of his WM matches over the years have been sub-par. The only reason the last 2 years were so good is because he was facing Shawn Michaels. IMO Shawn Michaels made those matches so great and not the Undertaker. Sure, Chris Jericho would be a great opponent (i'm a huge Y2J fan) but he's already established and i was thinking in WWE's move to push younger talent that Sheamus (who can wrestle better than John Cena btw) would gain more from the match than an established star.
U said 'Undertaker is known for having good Wrestlemania matches', right?
Then how did:
1. His match with Giant Gonzales at Wrestlemania IX turn out to be his worst match of all time?
2. His match with King Kong Bundy at Wrestlemania XI turn out to be an epic fail?
3. His match with Big Boss Man at Wrestlemania XV turn out to be the worst Hell In A Cell match of all time? And until now it remains as his only Wrestlemania to receive 'boring' chants from the fans.
4. He fail to carry A-Train to a legendary match at Wrestlemania XIX?
5. His match with Mark Henry at Wrestlemania XXII turn out to be the worst Casket match of all time?
My point is just like Giant Gonzales, King Kong Bundy, Big Boss Man, A-Train, and Mark Henry, Sheamus is unworthy to be added to The Streak. He wouldn't add bigger credibility for The Streak than Jericho or Cena and in case u didn't notice, Sheamus has already been established as a main eventer (albeit a horrible one). The Undertaker's last four Wrestlemania matches have been nothing but bliss, I think his next two also needs to be classics, not sub-par matches. And since Sheamus couldn't make classics despite constantly facing Triple H, Cena, Orton, and Edge, what makes u think he can make one with Undertaker?
I'm not trying to offend anyone, but I don't think Undertaker vs Sheamus would get 'This is awesome!' from the crowd or make the crowds stood from start to finish. And by all means, be it status wise or ability wise, Sheamus is nowhere near Shawn Michaels or Chris Jericho or John Cena. Not in this lifetime, or the next.
Another problem with Sheamus is how he is being booked. With the name 'The Celtic Warrior' he ran away from Nexus faster than Tyson Gay and his finisher is what? Pump Kick? Even Sweet Chin Music looks more devastating than that! And thanks to The Undead Titan for this list, Sheamus' also has an impressive series of title defending (sarcasm):
Won the WWE Title because John Cena fell into the table.
Kept the title because he DQ'ed himself.
Kept the title because he defeated Orton by DQ.
Then he lost it at E-Chamber.
Won the WWE Title back at F4W because of the Nexus.
Kept the title on RAW because of Nexus.
Kept the title at Money in the Bank because of Nexus.
Kept the title at Summerslam by DQ.
This is WWE's way of building a dominant monster heel?
See, I'll compare him with some other successful monster heels from 1990's the who also faced Undertaker at Wrestlemania and see how he differs from them. One thing, though, they actually had devastating finishers and they didn't need 7 men to help them win every time because they could do it all by themselves:
1. Diesel (Kevin Nash) = Call him Big Daddy Cool or Kevin Nash, his stint in WWE as Diesel has been one of the biggest push ever; in less than one year, he won the Intercontinental belt, the Tag Team championship and the WWF World Title. He was certainly the most dominating wrestler and also one of the biggest names during The New Generation Era of Wrestling (1994-1996). He had more than an impressive size at 6'11" with 320 pounds of muscle; he also had a huge charisma, cut great promos and was so over with the fans. Over the course of being a WWE champion for more than one year, he defeated Shawn Michaels, Sid, Bret Hart, British Bulldog, Virgil, Bam Bam Bigelow, and pretty much every main eventer minus The Undertaker, who defeated him at Wrestlemania 12. And his finisher, Jacknife Powerbomb, was pretty devastating.
2. Sycho Sid = If Lesnar was the example of pain, then Sid was the example of Ruthless. Nicknamed The Ruler of The World at 6'9" and 317 lbs, he had an amazing psychotic gimmick and he was feared by all. With his reputation earned from his run with Ric Flair's Four Horsemen and his NWA World Heavyweight title won against Sting, he later managed to win the WWF Championship twice to dominate the WWE in 1996-97 and became one of the biggest names in the dawn of The New Generation Era. During his tenure in WWE, he defeated Undertaker, Bret Hart, Vader, Shawn Michaels, Razor Ramon, Goldust, British Bulldog, and Owen Hart by his vile finisher, Release Powerbomb.
3. Masked Kane = Often cited as the finest monster heel in the sports entertainment ever since the retirement of Andre The Giant, The Big Red Machine stood in 6'10" and 323 lbs. The Big Red Monster was the first to really physically dominate The Undertaker and he always been his nemesis in their feuds, when they were not together as the Brothers Of Destruction.He's the only one to have made The Undertaker look human when The Undertaker was using his Lord of Darkness Persona. After tearing the steel door of HIAC when he debuted, he took out The Undertaker before literally taking out the entire roster, defeating guys like Mankind, Vader, Stone Cold, The Rock, Big Show, Triple H, and many others. His two feared finishers, Chokeslam & Tombstone Piledriver, perfectly symbolizes his persona in three words: heartless, merciless, and fearless.
So, basically Sheamus is somewhere in between joining the ranks of great monster heels like Andre The Giant, King Kong Bundy, Diesel, Sid, Big Show, and Masked Kane & joining the ranks of poor excuse of monster heels like Giant Gonzales, Big Boss Man, A-Train, The Great Khali, Mark Henry, and Vladimir Kozlov. I say, the way he's booked right now, he is closer to the latter.
The Streak lacks big names and credibility thanks to the five nobodies (Giant Gonzales, King Kong Bundy, Big Boss Man, A-Train, and Mark Henry), I don't think we need another no namers to be included on it. The least of all, although the match may not be able to follow Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels TWICE, big name like Jericho or Cena would give a bigger credibility than a match with Sheamus could.
I don't mind seeing Undertaker vs Sheamus, but definitely not at Wrestlemania. For Wrestlemania 27 & 28, I believe Undertaker will have to face Chris Jericho & John Cena/Masked Kane consecutively. In the last four Wrestlemanias The Streak is not about pushing someone over, it's about putting classic matches.
And I beg to differ yet again with another one of your saying: IMO Shawn Michaels made those matches so great and not the Undertaker.
Dude, it takes two to tango. Always was, always is, always will be. If u got people like Razor Ramon, Diesel, Bret Hart, Stone Cold, Chris Jericho, Chris Benoit, Triple H, Kurt Angle, John Cena, and Undertaker as your Wrestlemania opponent of course you're bound to have great matches at Wrestlemania. If not, then you're completely a f*cked up performer like Triple H & Randy Orton, two men with array of great opponents but only got not more than 1 or 2 Wrestlemania classics. Triple H's Wrestlemania classics are only against Undertaker at Wrestlemania X-7 and against Chris Benoit & Shawn Michaels at Wrestlemania XX. Just look at Shawn Michaels' match with El Matador at Wrestlemania VIII or Tatanka at Wrestlemania IX, he didn't steal the show right? Right, because his opponents weren't good at all.
If u want to bring up his match against Vince at Wrestlemania XXII or Flair at Wrestlemania XXIV, I want to say those two matches are two of the most overrated matches I've ever seen in my life. And tha also shows how PWI and most of Shawn Michaels fans could be sooooo biased when it comes to him. Edge vs Foley OWNED Wrestlemania XXII, my god it was such an underrated match!
And as for Wrestlemania XXIV....The vast majority of people have said Ric Flair or Shawn Micheals, which I fully understand, but I think that the performance put on by The Undertaker and Edge is often overlooked. I re-watched that match recently, and it was outstanding, by far the best match on the card that night.
People remember the Flair retirement from that night. They remember CM Punk winning Money in the Bank. Some even remember Floyd Mayweather vs. The Big Show. All of those were important matches, but The Undertaker and Edge put on a true main event worthy performance that always seems to get lost in the shuffle. I mean, I'd even go so far as to call it a classic. I think that most people had a pretty strong inclination that The Undertaker would win, but it was exciting all the way through, it had a ton of great twists and turns, it had some great near falls. Overall just a great, great match.
On the whole, Wrestlemania 24 wasn't a spectacular pay-per-view. There have been plenty of 'Mania events before and hell, even since, that have far outstripped it. However, that was an excellent match and main event worthy.Undertaker vs Edge is THE best Wrestle Mania 'WRESTLING' match since Angle vs Michaels. Edge reminded everybody that he's one of the best in the business & not just a transitional champion. He was actually more dominant over The Undertaker than anybody else has ever been at a Wrestle Mania. Edge reversed almost every Undertaker move and what made the match even more interesting was the less predictable finish which saw The Dead Man win via submission instead of The Tombstone that EVERYBODY was expecting him to win by. Wrestling quality wise, this match is on another planet compared to Shawn Michaels vs Ric Flair in a 'retirement' match(which doesn't hold any meaning by now cause Flair wrestled again in TNA).
Those who aren't clouded by hype could tell Undertaker vs Edge is comparable to any technical wrestling matches in masterpiece level. It surpassed my expectations and was extremely intense. This was a great main event that truly culminated the whole night just into one match. Edge tried to have everyone help him keep his title, but Undertaker in an unreal state takes them all on. You can feel the intensity, the rivalry and the hype behind this match. Lots of nearfalls and counters made this match just plain enjoyable and pure entertainment.
To say this match was awesome would be an understatement. I was on the edge (pun intended) of my seat pretty much from bell-to-bell. The outcome of an Undertaker match at Wrestlemania has become a foregone conclusion for almost a decade, but this match actually had me believing that the streak could come to an end. At one point, Edge hits a spear and I thought it was over; leaping from my seat when Undertaker kicked out confirmed to me that this match had me hooked.
The first half of the match featured many counters and reversals, including Edge reversing Old School, the Chokeslam, and the Last Ride. Both guys are touted as being undefeated at Wrestlemania. Edge has also never lost to the undertaker. Edge isn’t intimated and starts with punches. But he must forgot that the Undertaker’s the “Best pure striker in the WWE!!” Taker hits a flying clothesline for 2. Taker works the arm and tries old school early but get arm dragged off. Taker chokes Edge and refuses to break, then intimidates the ref. Taker went for a flying knee in the corner but it turned into a Stinger Splash and Taker tumbles all the way to the floor. Edge hits him while he’s on the apron and Taker flies into the barricade! Outside Edge works the ribs. Taker makes it back in and Edge with corner tackles. Edge goes top rope and gets Flair slammed from the top TO THE FLOOR!!! Crap that was nasty! Not to be outdone, Taker follows with the zombie WM plancha!! Crazy Taker with the legdrop on the apron. Last Ride attempt! No wait, he couldn't pick him up cause of his back. Back outside and Edge back suplexes Undertaker on the rail! Taker’s dumped in the front row. Back inside Edge works the back more with a half-Boson crab. Edge with the monster face!
The match picked up the pace big time later on. Undertaker hits the Chokeslam and Last Ride, but fails to get the pin on both. Undertaker later attempted a big boot but hit the referee instead, this gave Edge the opportunity to nail Undertaker with a video camera. Undertaker gave Edge a Tombstone Piledriver afterwards, but the ref was still out so as Undertaker pinned Edge, a new ref had to sprint down the entrance ramp to make the count. Unfortunately, this gave Edge enough time to kick out. Edge later hits a spear, but Undertaker suddenly locks Edge in his new submission hold immediately after. After hanging in for a while, Edge submits and The Undertaker wins the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania for the second straight year. A WrestleMania classic and amazing match. Edge is a surefire Hall of Famer, he is worthy to be included on the list. I dare say this match is as good or maybe even better than their match at Summerslam 2008.
I agree with anyone labeling this match as the most underrated Wrestlemania match of all time. I can't believe horrible matches like Undertaker vs Giant Gonzales at Wrestlemania IX, Undertaker vs Big Boss Man at Wrestlemania XV, and Undertaker vs Mark Henry at Wrestlemania XXII made it to wweclassic but this match didn't! That alone proves how overlooked this gem is.
Want more proof? Just look at Undertaker's another overlooked classic, which is his match from Wrestlemania XII.
We've got Vince McMahon and Jerry Lawler on commentary here. Prepare for some wackiness. And, indeed, McMahon's great philosophical question to wrestle with: "Will Big Daddy Cool Diesel rest in pieces? (yes, pieces)" Lawler brings up the Egyptian plagues and compares them to Undertaker's tactics against Diesel.
They attack each other quickly and trade blows. Diesel hits running clothesline in the corner but runs into a boot in the other corner. Taker clotheslines him down, but he misses a running elbow drop and does the zombie sit-up. Diesel clotheslines Taker over the top, but Taker lands on his feet on the floor and pulls Diesel by the legs under the bottom rope. Taker hits a series of uppercuts, working over Diesel's ribs. Diesel keeps him from going up the apron and tries to slam his head into the stairs, but Taker blocks and does the same to Nash. Back in the ring, Diesel puts his head down after an Irish whip and Taker lands an uppercut to the chin. Taker sets up a tombstone but Diesel powers out of it. Taker ducks a clothesline and hits a bodypress (!) for 2. The pace here is frenetic.
Taker does the old-school armbar, ropewalk and punch to the neck. Diesel fails to go down. Diesel ducks some sort of spinning thing and Undertaker lands under the ropes. Diesel grabs him by the hair, but Taker snaps his neck over the top rope. Taker gets back in the ring and his second punch knocks Diesel over the ropes. Nash is bumping really well here. Undertaker follows him out and pushes Diesel back-first to the ring post. Taker tries to waffle Diesel with a chair, but he manages to duck. Diesel takes control with a kneelift to the chest, and he throws Taker into the guard rail. Diesel rams Taker's back into the post twice. He takes a little time to intimidate Paul Bearer, then goes into the ring and poses. McMahon excitedly mentions that the Ultimate Warrior is on the 1-900 WWF hot line, but we are, in fact, having the ultimate matchup right here.
Diesel rams his knee into Taker, preventing him from enter into the ring. He pulls Taker in the second time and gets a big boot. McMahon believes Diesel is dominating the Undertaker like no one has done before and that the jackknife is imminent. Announcer Vince always believed the babyface was in instant jeopardy no matter how much or how little punishment they'd received. Diesel measures Taker and wails on him with punches. They be clubberin', as Dusty Rhodes might say. Nash has always had pretty good strikes. Diesel lands a sideslam for 2.
Diesel hits the snake eyes and the Boss Man straddle. It's funny how many moves Diesel does in this match that Undertaker ended up later stealing. Diesel signals for the jackknife, but first hits a series of knees and punches in the corner. Taker is really selling the beating. He makes a comeback and both punch each other simultaneously, followed by a double big boot, which actually looked good. The double count reaches 8 before Taker sits up, though Diesel actually makes it to his feet first and lands an ax handle to the back. He follows with a bear hug, in which Taker makes little effort to fight. Suddenly, he gets out with a double slap to the head. Diesel grabs a side headlock, but Taker hits a backdrop suplex and follows with an elbow drop.
Taker hits a top-rope clothesline for 2 (which beat King King Bundy at Wrestlemania 11). Diesel ducks a move and hits a surprise powerbomb. But he gets cocky and stalls forever (you'd have thought he'd have learned after losing the belt to Bret Hart), and Taker does the zombie sit-up again. Diesel hits another jackknife and stalls again, taunting the crowd and Paul Bearer. When he finally goes for the cover, Taker grabs him by the throat. Diesel punches him down and tries again, but Taker gets the throat again. Diesel fights him off again and clutches his throat in pain, and when he tries the pin again Taker grabs him by the throat and rises to his feet. Diesel manages a backdrop suplex, though. Great segment. Diesel slowly gets up, but Taker does another zombie sit-up behind his back. When Nash turns around, he initially begs off and then attacks, but Taker no sells and goes on the attack, hitting Nash with a flying clothesline. He follows with a chokeslam, and both are worn out.Undertaker makes it up first, though, and does the urn pose. He then hits Diesel with the tombstone for 3 in 16:46. And there was much rejoicing from the crowd.
Believe it or not, this is a hell of a match. It told a good story, with Diesel being able to match Undertaker physically but being unprepared for his resilience. The action and selling were very good.It's the first classic Wrestlemania match in Undertaker's career (an an underrated one too just like maybe his five other Wrestlemania matches), and the best Nash match I'm aware of that didn't involve Shawn Michaels or Bret Hart.
And another one of his forgotten classic is his match with Ric Flair at Wrestlemania X-8. I think this is easily one of the most underrated feuds of all time. Big Evil had a brief feud with The Rock at No Way Out 2002 and was about to destroy him, but "Nature Boy" Ric Flair made the save and attacked Undertaker. Taker got upset about the "respect" he got from the 16 time World Champion and wanted to face him at WrestleMania X-8 in Toronto, Ontario Canada in the Skydome which is now renamed The Rogers Centre. But the problem was, Flair wouldn't accept the challenge made by the evil-Undertaker. So, the only way Undertaker had to change Flair's mind is to first brutally attack and beat the living hell out of Flair's best friend Arn Anderson, leaving him with a bloody mess, but even though Flair was pissed off he still did not except Big Evil's challenge. Then The Undertaker would do the unthinkable next, Undertaker would go to Flair's son, David Flair who was training at the WWE, and Taker had no mercy but to attack and assault Flair's son David leaving him as well in a bloody mess, and Taker said he would have no problem if he had to go through Flair's entire family. So Ric Flair finally did the right thing for his family and friends, but he chose the wrong thing for himself because Flair finally accepted Taker's challenge at WrestleMania X-8. But for the match to go on, the WWE Board of Directors including C.E.O. Linda McMahon asked Flair if he would still want to continue in the match against Undertaker, and Flair responded "Yes, without a shout of a doubt" But then from Vince McMahon, he decided to put the match as a No DQ Match just to provoke Flair even more but that didn't matter at all to Flair.
And the match at Wrestlemania X-8 delivered as well. Flair attacked the moment Taker got into the ring and they rumbled to the commentator table. Taker fought back and pummeled Flair till he bled before delivering The Superplex that was heard around the world! This match was a wild brawl. These two men had matches back in 1993 but back then The Undertaker had a different style. This match was so awesome from start to finish! You can combine The Undertaker's Wrestlemania matches with Giant Gonzales, Big Boss Man, and Mark Henry times ten but they won't even be half as good as this match.
I also found Jerry Lawler’s announcing quite amusing during this match. Jerry is so biased and I love it. He began to chuckle when the Undertaker put a chokehold on Flair and throughout the event Ross and Lawler debated various things. It reminded me of the chemistry between the late Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby “The Brain” Heenan or Jesse Ventura and Vince McMahon. Uniquely, the crowd cheered for The Undertaker despite him being a heel and his opponent is perhaps the best pro-wrestler of all time. The 16 Time World Champion is one the biggest names on the list, no doubt about it. The whole match and feud was magic, but I find it unbelievable people rarely include this match and feud when they speak of Taker's best matches and feuds. I don't know what makes it so underrated, but it's ridiculous some fans didn't even know Flair is one of The Undertaker's Wrestlemania victims.
The action spills outside right off the bat, with Flair clotheslining Undertaker over the announce table. Flair wails away on the Deadman as a fan at ringside urges him on – “Get ‘em, Ric, get ‘em Ric, get ‘em Ric!” The Undertaker turns the tide, but he takes too long to get back in the ring after he tosses Flair in, and The Nature Boy turns things around for a moment. Taker whips Flair to the buckle, and Flair botches the corner flip spot. Undertaker takes him back to the opposite corner and starts throwing elbows and fists. He whips Flair to the buckle again, and this time, Flair flips over the ropes and lands on the apron. Undertaker boots Flair to the floor. He says “now we go to school.” Taker starts throwing fists again, and he busts Flair wide open. ‘Taker continues to dominate as Lawler makes cheesy jokes (JR: “What was he going to do, continue to let his family be exposed to whatever this unconscionable…” King: “JR, you know that’s illegal, when your family is exposed.”
. Flair finally manages to connect with a few knife edge chops, but Undertaker whips him right back into the turnbuckle and resumes the beatdown. ‘Taker nails a top rope superplex and Flair screams out in pain. Undertaker covers Flair, but picks him up after two. Flair tries to throw chops but manages only one before The Undertaker resumes his domination of this match. He nails a guillotine legdrop, then covers Flair again – but again pulls him up at two. Undertaker goes for Old School, but in his cockiness, Flair pulls him down from the top rope, but his comeback is short lived as the Deadman hits a sidewalk slam for a two count. Undertaker misses a big boot, and Flair throws a few chops, sending ‘Taker to the outside. Underatker crawls over to his bike, but Flair gets to it first, grabbing a lead pipe and nailing The Undertaker with it several times. Taker charges at Flair and sandwiches the Nature Boy between the himself and the ring. Flair grabs a sign that says “KEEP OFF” from the guardrail on the aisle and nails ‘Taker with it. Flair finally takes control of the match, at least until he walks throat first into The Undertaker’s hand. Flair nails a low blow, and then locks in the Figure Four Leglock. Undertaker screams in pain, but then sits up and grabs Flair by the throat. He squeezes until Flair releases the hold, and then chokeslams Flair to the canvas. He crawls over and makes the cover, but Flair kicks out. ‘Taker starts to wail away on Flair, scoring another two count. He then takes out referee Charles Robinson, then goes out to grab his lead pipe. Flair kicks Undertaker’s knee, then chops him a few times. He whips Undertaker to the ropes, and when Undertaker rebounds, Arn Anderson steps in and nails the Double A Spinebuster, allowing Flair to grab a two count. Undertaker attacks Anderson, busting him open and locking him in the Dragon Sleeper. Flair comes in and nails Undertaker with a chair to break the hold. Flair continues to hit The Undertaker with the chair, but Undertaker boots Flair in the face. He sets up for the Last Ride, but Flair fights it, so The Undertaker drops him and opts for the Tombstone instead. The Undertaker makes the cover and he’s now 10 – 0 at WrestleMania!
Undertaker nails Charles Robinson after the match for good measure. OMG, this match is such an overlooked classic it's not even funny!
And another underrated one is with Sid at Wrestlemania 13. Because it’s a special occasion, UT is wearing his original “grey rubber gloves and torn sleeves” outfit. HBK is doing commentary, working through the pain of the smile-ectomy he went through which put him out. Undertaker has gone through a year of shitkickings from Mankind, and this is his reward for loyalty. Sid gets the clear-cut heel pop. Bret Hart makes his way to the ring and grabs a mike, sending threats to Shawn, telling off Undertaker, and claiming Sid screwed him. So Sid powerbombs him. Served him right. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is your heel turn. Undertaker attacks Sid from behind and we’re underway. Undertaker hammers Sid a few time and slams him for a two count. Ropewalk shot, but Sid won’t sell. UT charges the corner but gets caught in a bearhug for resthold #1. And that uses up a couple of minutes. Big boot and Sid pushes him over the top rope, then into the Spanish announce table. Bad night for the foreign announcers. Sid drops UT on the railing a couple of times, then slams him through the table. Vince announces that this was changed to a no-DQ match beforehand. Sid rolls UT in for two. CAMEL CLUTCH OF DEATH is resthold #2. Double axehandle off the 2nd rope, and Sid stalls. Ugly powerslam gets two. And a couple more. Sid drops the leg for two. And a couple more. I like that he keeps trying for the pin, forcing UT to keep kicking out. UT hits the flying clothesline, but Sid no-sells. They fight to the floor. Back in the ring, UT misses an elbowdrop. Sid goes into resthold #3. UT breaks and powerslams Sid for two. UT applies a VULCAN NERVEGRIP OF DOOM for resthold #4. Sid escapes and they both hit a big boot at the same time for a double KO spot. Sid is up first for a two count. Another double axehandle. A sort of clothesline-like type thing off the second rope gets two. Match…..moving……so……slow. UT blocks another 2nd rope attempt, but Sid no-sells again and slams UT, then heads to the top rope. UT does the zombie situp and crotches Sid. Slam off the top, and UT goes to the top. Flying clothesline gets two. UT goes for the tombstone, but Sid reverses to his own. It only gets two. Sid dumps UT, and Bret is back. He wallops Sid with a chair from behind and gets dragged off by referees. UT takes advantage and rams Sid into the steel. Back in the ring, UT chokeslams Sid for two. UT misses…whatever…coming off the ropes and Sid powerbombs him. Nope, here’s Bret again. Sid knocks him off the apron, but walks right into the tombstone and gets pinned. Way to go, another overlooked gem.
The last but definitely not the least, I believe The Undertaker is the most underrated Wrestlemania performer of all time. His match with Diesel at Wrestlemania XII, Sid at Wrestlemania XIII, Ric Flair at Wrestlemania X-8, Randy Orton at Wrestlemania XXI, and Edge at Wrestlemania XXIV are all criminally underrated matches which will never get the recognition they deserved. Ever.
Undertaker has been putting many overlooked classics long before he met Shawn Michaels, kid. Shawn Michaels didn't carry Undertaker in both matches. None of them carried each other. That's what makes both their matches amazing.
