Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker (Career vs. Streak; Michaels must retire if he does not win; match can only end via pinfall or submission), from WWE WrestleMania 26

The difference between their encounter at the previous WrestleMania and this, the greatest match to close out a WrestleMania, is that Michaels walks into this one with a gameplan. HBK is no technical wizard, but if he's going down, he's going to take Undertaker's leg with him, elevating this beyond being a series of "holy shit" moments to be the rare big event wrestling match with psychology. If their previous encounter was cashing in on karma, this is giving back by showing the youngsters a better way forward. Maybe 25 was more explicitly exciting, but I prefer 26's earned drama.
