Wrestlemania 28 Results: WWE Concocts Flawless Undertaker vs. Triple H Plot

Shawn Michaels wasn’t the only one who shed a tear.

The WWE pressed all of the right buttons on Sunday night in The Undertaker’s “End of an Era” match against Triple H.  With Michaels refereeing the Wrestlemania 28 Hell in a Cell match, the trio put on one of the greatest performances in the history of professional wrestling.

The plot was gold.

Tradition was rich.  History was on the line.  Drama was at its peak.

The WWE’s concluded its recap of the match writing:

"

“And then it was over.  The match.  The decades long conflict.  The era.

The Cell was raised as HBK stood above The Undertaker and Triple H with tears in his eyes, studying the carnage.  Fireworks erupted in celebration for The Deadman’s unbelievable 20 – 0 accomplishment, but in that moment it wasn’t about a record.  Reaching out their hands, The Phenom and Michaels helped The Game to his feet and together the three exited the ring.

Joined as one, the legends walked up the entrance ramp and into the locker room and then they were gone.  And so was the greatest era in sports-entertainment.”

"

Again I say—gold.

The majority of wrestling fans watch the sport for blood and sweat.  But the WWE managed to tweak the emotions of countless viewers triggering tears as well.  Here are a handful of emotional reactions to the fight via Twitter (@Chelsaurus18, @nikyamurphy and @krysalicous) :
