00:24I'll see you next time.
00:57I'll see you next time.
01:00I'll see you next time.
01:30I'll see you next time.
02:05I'll see you next time.
02:30I'll see you next time.
03:04I'll see you next time.
03:16John Michaels staring out at the mass of over 70,000 WWE fans in the Reliance Stadium on the silver
03:27anniversary of WrestleMania.
03:29And among those 70,000 fans, I see many signs out there that say 16-1, H.P. Kane.
04:08I'll see you next time.
04:39I'll see you next time.
05:02From the depths of hell comes The Undertaker.
05:06Conversely, ascending from the rafters comes the heartbreak kid, Shawn Michaels.
05:14Two unique parallels that will come together in this very ring in front of us.
05:20From Death Valley weighing 299 pounds, The Undertaker.
05:31This is certainly about the lightness and the darkness.
05:37And the differences of these two men are not just symbolic.
05:39They have different personalities.
05:42They're different people.
05:43They have completely different ways of life, different careers and attitude and persona and styles.
05:50But there is one like this.
05:52They are both winners.
05:58But only one can win tonight.
06:05The Undertaker began this amazing thing known as the streak.
06:10The 16-0 winning streak at WrestleMania 7.
06:1618 years later, we are here deep in the heart of Texas where that young man, Shawn Michaels, grew up.
06:24And let's don't forget a couple of things, gentlemen, along the way at WrestleMania.
06:27In the first ever Iron Man match at WrestleMania 12, Michaels did what many said he couldn't do.
06:33He beat Bret Hart in a one hour match, became WWE Champion.
06:37And last year, with his heart torn, he focused long enough to retire Ric Flair.
06:43Ric Flair, Bret Hart, pretty good WrestleMania resume.
06:49But nothing, no resume compares to 16-0.
07:01The Undertaker's entrance for years has been used as a mind game against his opponents.
07:08But has anyone ever played mind games with The Undertaker like Shawn Michaels has over the past couple of months?
07:15Not that I've ever experienced.
07:18I've never seen anyone stand up, so to speak, to The Undertaker the way Shawn Michaels has done.
07:25Has Shawn Michaels' strategy got into the head of The Undertaker or has it made him worse?
07:31Has it made it worse on Shawn Michaels?
07:33I don't think that question, Michael, can be answered until this match progresses.
07:37It's a very good question.
07:39But there's only one person that can answer it.
07:42The man under that big black hat.
07:55I don't know how he does it, but Shawn Michaels doesn't appear to be intimidated at all.
08:02Made a career out of it.
08:03Look at that face.
08:04Look at the eyes of The Undertaker.
08:06Look at the eyes of Shawn Michaels.
08:08One is defiant, one set of eyes destructive.
08:13I'm shaking in my boots and I were across the ring from The Undertaker at WrestleMania.
08:17And as this match gets underway between two of the greatest performers in the history of WrestleMania,
08:23we have to remember one thing.
08:25And that JR is how quick sweet chin music can come from out of nowhere.
08:30Undertaker's been struck with it twice in the past couple of weeks.
08:33He knows that danger's there.
08:39Undertaker coming out, looking to land the big strike early.
08:43As Michaels has got to use his speed and quickness.
08:48And that is a unique style of offense.
08:50It's painful, but maybe to a man the size of The Undertaker, more annoying than anything in the early going.
09:07Michaels feigning with that foot and the kick.
09:11Undertaker saw a sweet chin music.
09:14That one did a little damage.
09:23There's the power game.
09:26Michaels, right hand blocked.
09:30And a strike to The Undertaker.
09:33Michaels was physically hurled over the top turnbuckle.
09:38And there's that brash arrogance.
09:40The defiance of Shawn Michaels.
09:43Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
09:44Three.
09:45And Michaels, fading into the injury.
09:48Trying to catch The Undertaker off guard.
09:50Come on, Shawn.
09:50Get off, Shawn.
09:51Come on, Shawn.
09:51Get off, Shawn.
09:51Come on, Shawn.
09:52Get off, Shawn.
09:52Take down The Undertaker, who wisely has his arms up to protect his head and face.
09:58Seen Michaels do that in the past, fading those injuries to gain advantage.
10:03Captain Mouse game may be over now.
10:06That didn't work on The Undertaker.
10:08Undertaker stepped right past the referee when the referee said, hey, I think Shawn's injured.
10:14Undertaker didn't even slow down.
10:16Powerfully pulverizing the right hands upstairs and the body shots from The Undertaker.
10:22I don't think The Undertaker's gonna care if Shawn Michaels injures his knee.
10:26He wants to do more than that to HBK in this match.
10:30The person pride that both these amazing performers have brought into this matchup.
10:36Remember, The Undertaker has never defeated Shawn Michaels in a one-on-one contest.
10:46WWE fans split.
10:50Half of those 70,000 chanting HBK, the other half Undertaker.
10:56Wow.
10:56Michaels upside down, goes inside out, and then is elevated to the top floor by The Undertaker.
11:03I got a feeling Shawn Michaels gonna get some frequent flyer miles in this match.
11:06And remember, Undertaker knows the injuries Shawn Michaels has suffered to that back throughout his career.
11:11He walked.
11:12He was a back injury caused by The Undertaker that cost Shawn Michaels four years of his career.
11:17And a slam.
11:19Man, that was some display of power and quickness.
11:23Undertaker driving the elbow.
11:25First cover of the matchup.
11:28The instincts of Michaels, they're very, very good because Michaels was able to kick
11:33out before The Undertaker could ever hook a leg, really negotiate the cover.
11:40And they're pulling Shawn Michaels into a brick wall.
11:45Powerful pace.
11:47A very destructive pace established by The Undertaker, not what Michaels wanted to deal with.
11:55Uh-oh.
11:59Undertaker.
12:01Undertaker.
12:02School's in session.
12:03We're gonna go old school on Shawn Michaels.
12:06And he does.
12:08So now The Undertaker has put this match right where he wants it.
12:13With The Undertaker dictating the pace.
12:17Michaels mentioned earlier.
12:18There's the quickness.
12:20As I mentioned earlier, that Shawn Michaels has never lost to The Undertaker.
12:27Wait a minute here.
12:29Oops.
12:30Now the veteran Shawn Michaels begins to pick apart as a pony.
12:35Man, we're seeing maybe some of the reasons why Shawn has never lost to The Undertaker.
12:42I'll tell you one thing.
12:43Michaels, we remember King, you and I called the First Abel of Cell match.
12:48Michaels able to use every trick in the book to win that contest.
12:52Maybe I'm maneuvering The Undertaker.
12:54Was The Undertaker underestimating Michaels on that night?
12:57I don't know.
12:58And then Shawn Michaels got hurt.
13:00Did he really win that casket match?
13:03The score book says yes, but Michaels has gone for four years.
13:06Is that a win?
13:07That's true.
13:08So Michaels is going for the figure four.
13:10Undertaker blocked it.
13:11There will be no underestimating Michaels tonight.
13:14And there it is.
13:14He got it.
13:16Taught to Michaels by the great Ric Flair.
13:20The Undertaker, I have never in my life seen The Undertaker submit.
13:26On this stage and this night, will that be history?
13:29Well, that's not only 16 and one, but a submission.
13:33One, two, one.
13:35And a six in it, shoulders were down.
13:39This is so smart by Michaels.
13:41Destroy that vertical base, take away the leverage advantage of The Undertaker.
13:46Take out the legs, take out the power.
13:50Michaels cannot be chokeslammed from this position, nor tombstone.
13:55Shawn Michaels claimed throughout this that he's a man unafraid.
14:00A man who thrives in the spotlight, and he's doing so now.
14:03And I don't care how big and how strong you are,
14:07when you're locked in that figure four, it is excruciatingly.
14:11Michaels has got to avoid those right hands.
14:13He was unable to do that with a long reach of The Undertaker,
14:17and therefore, the right hands are what broke up the figure four.
14:20Yeah, but has the damage been done?
14:22That's right.
14:22When you get out of it, if you're lucky enough to get out of it, you limp.
14:26Back to your point.
14:28Taking The Undertaker off his feet, get again.
14:30That was a brilliant move by Shawn Michaels.
14:33Absolutely brilliant to drop-kip the kneecap, the patella.
14:36Whoa, look at this.
14:40Undertaker!
14:42Undertaker had to get his feet running, so I think we've answered our question,
14:45has the finger cord done some damage?
14:47That answer is yes.
14:50And remember the threat, the warning from The Undertaker to Shawn Michaels,
14:53that you have opened Hell's gates.
14:59Undertaker trying to get that circulation back in the left leg,
15:02as you saw him slapping that leg.
15:04It wasn't for good luck, it was for circulation.
15:07I don't think that Shawn Michaels doesn't see that.
15:10He knows if he gets another opportunity, he'll go right back to those legs.
15:14The near 300 pounder.
15:16I believe Shawn may not get another opportunity.
15:19Whoa!
15:20It's almost like the puncher, the power hitter versus the boxer in this confrontation.
15:27Snake Eyes, Michaels not again.
15:30The man just got dealt Snake Eyes and a big size 17.
15:38And Undertaker looking to extend the streak at WrestleMania, and Shawn Michaels kicks out.
15:45The big massive leg of The Undertaker dropped right across the side of the head and face of Shawn Michaels.
15:52Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh.
15:54Undertaker thinking about ending it here.
15:58One chokeslam away from Boeing 17-0.
16:03Uh-oh.
16:05Shawn Michaels.
16:06Hey!
16:06Shawn Michaels!
16:07Crossface!
16:08He's got him locked in!
16:09Shawn Michaels defying The Undertaker's toughness, his reputation, and his legacy by going for the second submission in this contest.
16:18What he said earlier, never seen The Undertaker submit or tap out.
16:22We may see more history here tonight at WrestleMania 25.
16:26Undertaker using every part of his body to try to break the crossface, trying to roll back over onto his
16:31side and his back.
16:32This is not the ideal position that Michaels wants The Undertaker in.
16:36Undertaker trying to fight away from the power, but look at the twerk on the neck of The Undertaker.
16:41Man, uh-oh, shoulders down, shoulders down, Shawn's in trouble.
16:46Michaels able to roll off, but did you notice that Michaels never relinquished his hold?
16:51He maintained control.
16:55Wearing The Undertaker down.
16:57Well, you're right, the longer The Undertaker's held in this precarious position.
17:02Now, now, you got him now.
17:03Whoa!
17:03Michaels, he's getting it set now, this is where he wants it.
17:07Look at The Undertaker's face, turning in crimson red.
17:10But look at the strength of The Undertaker able to get to his knees.
17:13He's gotta get back to a vertical base, though.
17:15Shawn Michaels just hanging on.
17:18Hanging on.
17:20No longer.
17:22Sideslam breaks it.
17:25There's a separation.
17:26Pick the goals for a cover.
17:28The Undertaker got.
17:29Man, that was a big time two count.
17:32And The Undertaker exhaling there.
17:34Goodness quits about him.
17:36But I think The Undertaker thought for that side slam, he had Michaels.
17:39Fives The Undertaker some time at least.
17:42To recover from the crossface.
17:47Still amazed that The Undertaker going from being in that submission position to even.
17:53Getting back to his feet and taking Shawn.
17:55Anger.
17:56Anger.
17:57Anger.
17:57That's all that kick did.
17:59The wrath of The Undertaker.
18:01But every punch that Undertaker throws, Shawn Michaels dunking underneath it.
18:06Michaels standing right in front of the perhaps the most feared.
18:11In the WWE ever.
18:15Michaels left his feet, but it found it smart.
18:19He found a payday.
18:22There's the showstopper.
18:25That's why he's Mr. WrestleMania.
18:29Michaels didn't have to get up that way.
18:31But that's the way Shawn Michaels does it at WrestleMania.
18:35He's the main event.
18:39And Shawn Michaels giving The Undertaker everything he has with another inverted atomic drop.
18:45The second one in about ten seconds.
18:49Continuing to light The Undertaker up.
18:51Michaels doubling up his offense here tonight.
18:54Two inverted atomic drops.
18:56Much more physical than we've seen Shawn Michaels in recent weeks.
18:59You know what, guys?
19:00I think we just have to face it.
19:02Shawn Michaels has The Undertaker's number.
19:09Uh-oh.
19:11The Dead Man is coming.
19:14Yeah.
19:15And Shawn Michaels.
19:16Michaels got caught in no man's land.
19:19On the top, Undertaker.
19:20Uh-oh.
19:21Michaels counters.
19:23Michaels got a low kick.
19:25Going back with a bigger four.
19:28Undertaker.
19:28And look at this.
19:29Look at this.
19:30Hey.
19:31Going for Hell's Gate.
19:33And Shawn Michaels gonna tap.
19:35Will Michaels tap at WrestleMania 25?
19:38He's gotta get to the ropes.
19:39Scrambling, scrambling, and makes it there.
19:41Michaels desperately, courageously, with every fibrous being,
19:45down to the ropes.
19:47The ropes has saved Shawn Michaels.
19:55Boy, I mean, back and forth there, just a few seconds ago,
20:00Shawn Michaels just missed his mark with that sweet chin music,
20:03or this match might be over now.
20:05And then he was able to get to the ropes to save himself from that submission
20:10pulled by The Undertaker, or the match might be over now.
20:13Now The Undertaker's stalking Shawn Michaels.
20:17These men gotta be careful.
20:19Remember, the referee's got a ten count to utilize on the outside.
20:23But this is where things become dangerous for Michaels.
20:29Again, The Undertaker back at his pace.
20:31A deadly pace.
20:33A painful pace.
20:38Nothing fancy about that offense, I'll tell you.
20:40Just a big kick to the temple.
20:43Shawn Michaels.
20:45Michaels' head dangling.
20:48Michaels can't protect himself at this moment, it would seem.
20:53Undertaker said that Michaels is the prey and he's the hunter.
20:57But the prey laid a trap there.
21:00I don't know if Michaels is playing possible, or Michaels has had the amazing
21:04instincts that we know he has to avoid the disaster that was coming his way.
21:09Well, either way, he did avoid the disaster.
21:13And it capitalizes.
21:17Michaels are going to the low baseball slot, right?
21:20Still affected.
21:30Showstopper thinking about hitting one major offensive move to beat The Undertaker.
21:36What is he thinking about how much pain he's in right now?
21:39Michaels unsteady there.
21:42My God.
21:43And that one slip, that gun loss of balance may have cost Michaels.
21:48My God, the sickening thud of Michaels missed moonsault.
21:55See how Undertaker sidestepped Michaels and swatted him away.
22:01He grabbed his left wrist there.
22:05The referee is in a very unattainable situation.
22:11Man, The Undertaker actually caught Shawn in midair and propelling straight to the floor.
22:16With even more force.
22:19Undertaker is rolled back in the ring.
22:20The referee is still attending to Shawn Michaels.
22:23Michaels looked like he was really gonna hurt the moonsault and maybe a cross body.
22:28Guys, this match may be open.
22:32Michael's shaking his head with the official.
22:36Uh-oh.
22:39Meanwhile, The Undertaker sits up in the ring.
22:43Meanwhile, the night gets darker.
22:45Come on.
22:45I'm gonna stop this.
22:48I'm gonna stop this soon.
22:50Don't do this.
22:52I'm gonna stop this right now.
22:54Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
22:56Look at this.
22:56Yes.
22:57My God.
22:58My God.
23:00Michaels has, I think, pulled the cameraman in front of the Undertaker.
23:05Undertaker just crashed into the cameraman.
23:08I don't know how much of Michaels, Undertaker, got.
23:12Undertaker crashed into the full skull first.
23:18Michaels is down, obviously.
23:20So is the Undertaker, the cameraman, and the referee.
23:27I don't know about you guys, but I heard something crack.
23:29Exactly.
23:31There was an audio crack that one can only assume was Undertaker, perhaps his head and
23:37the camera, I don't know.
23:37Look at that indentation in the floor right there.
23:46Let's see this.
23:47Let's see this again.
23:48Shawn pushes the referee, and then the, and look at that.
23:51Oh my God.
23:52Look at this amazing shot.
23:58Oh!
24:00Michaels, show the referee out of the way.
24:03Pulled the cameraman into harm's way.
24:06Did you see the way the Undertaker hit the floor?
24:10That's a near seven foot, close to 300 pound human being flying through the air.
24:19You may have to get another referee out here just to stop this match.
24:23Shawn Michaels, wrist still dangling.
24:28Some movement in the fingers of the Undertaker at least fits up.
24:32Referees are beginning to move around a little bit from our vantage point here at ringside.
24:40Undertaker has not moved.
24:44Cameraman has not moved.
24:46Another official out here.
24:53I mean, literally having to drag the referee back into the ring.
24:59We're gonna look at this one more time.
25:01This is, I mean, literally hard to watch.
25:03It's scary.
25:04Oh my.
25:05Undertaker took a header right off the over the top, and
25:08Michaels has now drugged the assigned official back to the ring.
25:11I think Shawn is trying to get the referee to count the Undertaker out.
25:18I think Shawn senses that the Undertaker's done for the night.
25:24That's what it looks like.
25:31And one!
25:35The referee's got really no choice but to count by Franklin.
25:38Can Shawn Michaels win in this winning streak on this one?
25:45Well, obviously he can win the match if the Undertaker's counted out.
25:50And at this point in the night, I think Shawn will take that victory.
25:56Here comes the Undertaker.
25:59What's the referee's count to?
26:03Is it a seven or eight?
26:04Seven?
26:06Got a ten count, eight.
26:08Eight.
26:08Shawn Michaels is gonna win this match and a count of it?
26:12A count of nine.
26:14And Undertaker made it back.
26:15End of the ring!
26:16The streak's alive.
26:17The streak's alive by less than a second.
26:22Undertaker was less than a second away from being counted out.
26:27Well, look at the state of the broken body of The Undertaker.
26:32And the change in the look in the eyes of Shawn Michaels.
26:38Michaels has had a moment or two to regroup and tune up the band, perhaps.
26:44Well, you know what, guys?
26:45If it didn't end on the count out, Shawn Michaels is gonna end it with some sweet chin music.
26:50Will it be strike three with sweet chin music?
26:54This is just my slam!
26:54And Undertaker!
26:56No!
26:58Chokeslam with a fighting!
26:59The God Almighty, what a chokeslam!
27:02That's the biggest chokeslam I've ever seen!
27:04Undertaker!
27:04Can he do it here?
27:06It's kicked out!
27:08My gosh!
27:09What?
27:10The resilience and the will of Shawn Michaels is unbelievable!
27:16The disbelief in the eyes of the dead man!
27:20The Undertaker got all that clothesline and more!
27:24It was a slam dunk, a gorilla dunk!
27:28Shawn Michaels lifted seven feet off the floor!
27:32I've never seen a more emphatic, more devastating chokeslam from The Undertaker!
27:46What more can-
27:48Shawn Michaels countered!
27:50Wait for sweet chin music again!
27:55He got it!
27:56Michaels got it!
27:57That's it!
27:58A sudden sweet chin music!
28:00That's it!
28:01And the streak may be over!
28:03But can Michaels capitalize?
28:05That is the question!
28:07We saw the sweet chin music!
28:09We see the results!
28:10All he's gotta do is Krog get one arm!
28:12There it is!
28:13Is the streak over here?
28:14Is it over here?
28:16And Undertaker kicked it!
28:17No!
28:20Michaels a second away a moment ago!
28:23Undertaker a second away here!
28:25Watch this super kick come from out of nowhere!
28:29But it landed!
28:35What must Shawn Michaels be thinking at this moment?
28:39What's going through the mind of Mr. WrestleMania?
28:43What's going through the mind of The Undertaker?
28:46And the showstopper!
28:50Somehow still!
28:52The steely-eyed determination of Shawn Michaels.
28:56Michaels showed an amazing heart.
28:59He's a defiant!
29:00Shawn Michaels, but he's caught once again!
29:03Speaking of defiance!
29:13Michael's last ride!
29:15No!
29:16No!
29:17No!
29:18Whoa!
29:19Another counter!
29:21A counter into the counter!
29:26In the last ride!
29:30Michaels had bounced off the canvas!
29:33His body's wrecked!
29:34And a kick out again!
29:35Impossible!
29:37Unbelievable!
29:38Michaels took down!
29:39Freaking possible!
29:41The frustration in the eyes of The Undertaker!
29:45What?
29:47How in the name of all this decent did Michaels kick out of this?
29:52Listen to this impact!
29:53The one shot's here!
29:54No!
29:57The impact!
29:59One, two, three!
30:01No!
30:05Undertaker cannot believe anyone could kick out of the last ride as we have just seen Shawn
30:11Michaels do.
30:12Well, I do have to believe that Shawn Michaels has The Undertaker's number.
30:17The Undertaker cannot beat Shawn Michaels.
30:20Everything The Undertaker's done has been thwarted, countered.
30:29What more can he do?
30:32Is Undertaker putting it all on the line?
30:36Oh my gosh!
30:43That was a Shawn Michaels-like elbow attempt from the top rope.
30:48Undertaker looking to drive his elbow right into the chest of Shawn Michaels.
30:53Boy, that would have been poetic justice, but it wasn't to be.
30:57Watch as Shawn moves out of the way of the Shawn Michaels-like elbow.
31:04The dark side of The Undertaker perhaps is percolating because the intentions of that elbow would have certainly kept Michaels
31:12down if it had connected.
31:14And maybe kept him down for a long, long time.
31:18This is amazing.
31:19Neither one of these men may be able to beat the other.
31:22What do we do then?
31:27Whoa!
31:28Shawn.
31:29Oh-oh!
31:30Shawn's throat caught on that rope.
31:32Went to skin The Cat and Undertaker!
31:35They skin Michaels!
31:36My God!
31:37Look at this!
31:38Michaels caught!
31:39Michaels caught!
31:40Shawn is caught!
31:41Tombstone!
31:43Tombstone!
31:44Tombstone!
31:44My God!
31:44Michaels got caught!
31:46Tombstone!
31:47The Count!
31:49And a kick out!
31:50I am not believing this!
31:53What on earth!
31:56I just had an out-of-body experience!
32:03The Undertaker's eyes tell a better story than we could ever!
32:07Look at this!
32:09By all rights!
32:10They should have been in!
32:13Chokeslams!
32:14Last Rides!
32:16Tombstones!
32:17And a kick out!
32:18And a kick out!
32:19And a kick out!
32:20And a kick out!
32:22And a kick out!
32:22And a kick out!
32:22And a kick out!
32:22And the look!
32:25Shawn Michaels seems to be unconscious!
32:28How did he do that?
32:28He just willed his shoulder up!
32:31Instinct!
32:32Maybe divine intervention!
32:36Shawn Michaels said that my light will forever outshine your darkness!
32:43And now, maybe the evilness!
32:46Can The Undertaker get darker?
32:48You doggone right!
32:49Look at this!
32:51Look at the eyes of this man!
32:53There is no emptiness!
32:55There is focus!
33:01There is evil intentions in the most dangerous entity to ever step into a ring!
33:10Shawn Michaels has not moved since the kick out after the Tombstone.
33:15Which I still can't believe.
33:24Shawn Michaels killed!
33:26Oh my God!
33:27He countered into a DDT!
33:30Michaels, around the horn, catching The Undertaker with a desperation!
33:36DDT!
33:37An amazing counter!
33:40Think about this!
33:41The situation Michaels was in!
33:43Look at that!
33:43Look at that!
33:44Oh!
33:47How in the world is Shawn Michaels still going?
33:51We are seeing two bona fide Hall of Famers!
33:57And that was one of the most amazing, unpredictable counters I've ever seen!
34:03One of the most amazing performers we've ever seen!
34:07Shawn Michaels literally pulling his body!
34:12I think he's gonna try to go up top!
34:14It's the will to win!
34:15It's the absolute will to win!
34:18It is Mr. WrestleMania!
34:19It is that inherent quality that this young man has had since the first day I laid eyes on him!
34:26Shawn Michaels is special!
34:28He is extraordinary!
34:29And he's taking an amazing chance here to beat The Undertaker!
34:34It's like his body's on autopilot!
34:37It's like he doesn't even know what he's doing, but he's doing it!
34:40No!
34:40And Michaels' elbow hits!
34:43What a collision!
34:45What a crash!
34:47Body on body!
34:54What can Shawn capitalize?
34:55Michaels having to use obviously, not overstating the obvious, but
35:00so important using the ropes just to get vertical, just to get vertical!
35:08And does he have one big move left?
35:12Can Shawn Michaels tune up the band one more time?
35:17Can The Undertaker withstand any more sweet tin music?
35:23No.
35:23He may not get it.
35:28Undertaker almost fell out of the ring.
35:33Undertaker pulling himself up.
35:35Did it!
35:35Music again!
35:37Bam!
35:37Right on the jaw!
35:39He's done it!
35:41Shawn Michaels did it!
35:43Will live his prophecy!
35:45Kiss the streak goodbye!
35:48And again!
35:49Good God Almighty, the match continues!
35:52What?
35:52This classic is continuing!
35:56Can you believe, ladies and gentlemen, what we are witnessing here together tonight?
36:02The world is watching a classic!
36:06So fitting for the 25th anniversary of WrestleMania!
36:16The legendary Undertaker!
36:21The legendary Shawn Michaels!
36:27This capacity crowd is chanting, this is awesome!
36:32They are right!
36:34They are right!
36:38Shawn reaching, clawing!
36:40The point!
36:45They are gonna need to hang on to each other to just be able to stand to their feet!
36:50Oh!
36:50Wow!
36:53The nine-pinch counter with a thunderous right hand!
36:57Both men not giving an inch!
37:00Their hearts, their will, their passion!
37:03It has boiled down to this!
37:06Each man just throwing bombs!
37:08One goes down, one gets back up!
37:17How many men have the guts to stand in front of The Undertaker and throw, and throw!
37:23You kicked in the face!
37:25I was about to say, who's gonna land The Last Haymaker?
37:30We may have just seen it!
37:43Whoa!
37:46Shawn trying to counter again!
37:48Because he knows he's gonna fight out of the predicament.
37:51Can't afford a tombstone.
37:52Look at how red and swollen the chest of The Undertaker is.
37:58Undertaker's chest is battered and bruised with discolored.
38:02Roads are growing.
38:05Whoa!
38:06Undertaker ran into some chin music.
38:10Again, Michael's using that amazing ability to strike with his feet when you least expect it,
38:18when there's no distance.
38:20How much more?
38:21Guys, how much more can these two men have?
38:24It's just the amazing ability of Michaels to stay in the game somehow, some way.
38:29They have both dissed out unbelievable amounts of punishment on each other and absorbed it.
38:37They still go.
38:38My God, Michaels is gonna try another chance.
38:42Undertaker.
38:43He's got them coming!
38:44My God.
38:45Michaels in midair!
38:46Michael's in midair.
38:46Michael's caught.
38:47Michael's caught.
38:50Cole's
38:52Michaels caught him in midair.
38:54He's in it.
38:5617 and 0, 17 and 0.
39:05The Undertaker.
39:09Ladies and gentlemen, Shawn Michaels proved tonight that he was indeed Mr.
39:14WrestleMania.
39:15But The Undertaker proved that he is WrestleMania's phenom.
39:20Well, yes, The Undertaker proved that he is now 17 and 0.
39:27Man, look at this.
39:32As a fan of sports entertainment,
39:36I am honored to have the opportunity to sit at ringside and see this.
39:42This is what WrestleMania is all about.
39:49What an absolutely unbelievable match.
39:52Watch that, I thought how The Undertaker continued on after this crash and burn.
40:00Ron Michaels wanted the sweet chin music instead, a gigantic chokeslam.
40:07Michaelis was still able to persevere, wouldn't quit.
40:11His heart kept beating like the warrior that he is, but the end was still to come.
40:19We thought for sure The Undertaker was going to win the match here.
40:23This was the first Tombstone.
40:25Shawn Michaels withstood the Tombstone Piledriver, unheard of, unheard of, unheard of, unheard of, unheard of, unheard of, unheard of,
40:35indescribable.
40:37And then this switch in music, I thought Shawn Michaels had busted the streak at that point.
40:48But to The Undertaker's credit, The Deadman refused to lose.
40:54The Deadman refused to lose at WrestleMania.
40:59Shawn Michaels got caught.
41:01You're right, he risked it all.
41:02And he paid the ultimate price.
41:05Shawn Michaels put everything, his heart and his soul on the line, for one big move.
41:12And The Undertaker caught him, and Tombstone his way to 17 and all.
41:24Awesome.
41:28Indeed, sometimes it's hell.
41:31Get into heaven.
41:34I feel like we've just seen heaven.
41:37What a match.
41:40As a wrestling fan, how could you ask for anything more?
41:43Sp boiled马ack.
41:45See ya!
41:45Let's go!
41:45Look at this...
41:46And now every place I have come from Germany!
41:46We can get it all.
