WrestleMania XXV: A Phenom-enal Showstopper

 

High expectations often breed disappointment.  It is a natural human tendency to idealize a concept and despise the actuality because it cannot possibly live up to the lofty fantasies dancing like sugar plum fairies in the best of dreams.

 

From the moment that World Wrestling Entertainment announced a WrestleMania event between The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels, the anticipation was off the charts.  Early predictions guaranteed the match of the night, and projected the match of the year.

 

Shawn Michaels has set a precedent unmatched by any other star in wrestling history.  Throughout each year, his creativity and excellent performances have earned unabashed praise and a reputation for being the best big match worker to ever step foot in a wrestling ring.

 

WrestleMania is where The Heartbreak Kid shines with an electrifying light.

 

The Undertaker has finally earned well deserved recognition in recent years as one of the premiere wrestlers in the world.  His gimmick has always been untouchable and, in this decade, he has given his all in amazing matches.

 

WrestleMania is where The Deadman emphasizes his irreplaceable mystique.

 

Above all, WrestleMania is supposed to be about pageantry, excellent stories, and exceptional wrestling. 

 

What was going to happen when these two genuine icons of professional wrestling clashed on the Grandest Stage of Them All?
