I still remember where I was the first time I saw this most historic of matches: sat on my bed watching a pirate copy on my laptop… Still, that didn’t stop it from blowing my mind.
Undertaker and Shaun Michaels were two of the first wrestlers I ever saw, on a VHS tape of Survivor Series 1990 that belonged to my big brother. By the time this match was booked they’d been wrestling in WWE for about 20 years, and fans everywhere were clamouring to see what would happen when they met on the grandest stage of them all. Taker was going into this fight with a 16-0 record at WrestleMania, but if anyone could end the Deadman’s undefeated streak, it was Mr. WrestleMania himself, the Showstopper, Shawn Michaels.
This is truly an icon vs. icon match, as both guys frequent the Mount Rushmores of fans and wrestling royalty alike. The 70,000 in attendance were split down the middle as they watched two legends go to unbelievable lengths to win, resulting in moments which will feature on WrestleMania highlight reels until the end of time. In the end, everyone knew it would come down to who could pull the trigger with their finisher first. Would it be Taker with the devastating Tombstone Piledriver, or Michaels with his superkick, the Sweet Chin Music?Browse our partner-sponsored Glasses, with a variety of options to suit every taste and budget, available to buy online
