Taker vs Michaels the greatest match of all time
First mania one yeah
Dave Meltzer "Not a 5 star match"
Definally
Easily, taker should have kept the streak
Taker vs. Michaels
Austin vs. Rock
Flair vs. Steamboat
Edge vs. Cena
LA Knight vs The Miz is lookin' good so far! 💯
Yeeeaaaaaahhhhh! 😎👍👍
🔥🔥🔥
Every time Undertaker and Shawn Michaels got into the ring together, they put on a show
My favorite match of his career.
I was there 🤝🏻🐐
Greatest of all time definitely because it’s was entertaining asf but also the two greatest in the ring together
Yo every HBK vs The Undertaker is a classic match. Jus wish Shawn had the belt both times to drop it to Taker to make those wrestle mania matches extra special
Thst and HBK vs Angle at WM21 was a banger
Bad blood 97 the first in a cell match will always be my favorite of all time
Same. I remember being in 5th grade watching that.
It's my top match to watch. I have never been soo confused over who I wanted to win the match. The first one was incredible 😊 I remember being on the edge of my seat throughout. This match was truly incredible ❤
HBK was the fukin maan!!!
Brett Hart was much better.
@@seanmcbrearty1365 To you…..
90's HBK is a beast!
#BretWasBetter
@@j.c.2514 That was an incomplete sentence. You forgot the “ to me” portion at the end.
I like all type of wrestlers, all kind of wrestling styles all over the world. I like Technical, Strike, Brawl, Highfly, etc....
And this match is still my all time favourite among them all.
Shawn’s looking great
Pretty sure this is older
This is from 2015 I believe.
Benoit and Eddie matches were great but I loved watching HBK
For me the best wrestling match of all times easily.
No
@@satsuma1754I'll wait
Angle vs Benoit, HHH vs HBK vs Benoit, Lesnar vs Punk, Lesnar vs Angle at summerslam are absolutely great too
@@guillaumejuillard8258 not that level tho ... I'll keep HBK & Angle at close 2nd
@@ashoksoni3689 I understand these are all 5 star matches so it's personal opinions and which wrestler you prefer.
Personally my favourite match of all time is the Angle vs Lesnar Iron man match.
The Angle vs Benoit at the royal rumble is my second favourite (and Angle's favourite match too).
I would say Angle had the best matches in my opinion, followed by Michaels and Daniel Bryan
It is easily the best match I have ever seen and I have seen all the classics that people usually mention in conversation.
As great as this match is, I disagree. Angle vs Benoit at the rumble, Angle vs Shawn in the iron man at raw. Angle vs Lesnar at summerslam, HHH vs Benoit vs Michaels at mania are slightly better I think. It is debattable though.
Hard to believe 2 guys at that age could put on the greatest WrestleMania match
Shawn and Taker are my favorite wrestlers of all-time and it’s certainly MY favorite match ever.
Still remember taker launching out the ring and almost breaking his neck. They went all the way on this match!
It wasnt just the match they was good it was the storytelling also. It made the match 10 times better
Man I just thought Shawn was gonna get it
what "story telling"?!
Those 4 of HBK and HHH vs Taker defined an era. What a run.
Probably the best shit of all time man.
Conveniently for me...both are my top two favorite wrestlers
watching it now! ... Memories!
how was it? As good as your first time?
I’ll always be thankful i got into wrestling at the right time, till this day there’s never been anything like the 2009 pay per view run
To be able to surpass the matches they had in the 90’s that were basically 5 star blueprints on how you have a Big man vs the Little man match was insane!!
I was there in attendance.
Seeing that match live has no equal
Taker v HBK Hell in a Cell on kanes debut was also a cracking match
Imo the greatest wrestling match I’ve ever seen
Michaels vs. Angle is my second favourite match ever. (Number one is Hogan vs. Rock.) I love that they're so different. But that Angle match for me was perfect American pro wrestling.
The first Undertaker match was in 97 Ground Zero that then led to the first Hell in a Cell match at Badd Blood to be specific and all lol
I thought Badd Blood was the first one, where Kane had his debut.
Surprisingly, HBK won that match(coz of Kane).
@@someshkadam2441they ended up 2-2 and I feel that’s appropriate.
"NOT a 5 stat match" - dopey Dave Meltzer
My favourite and the greatest wrestling match of all time
I recently rewatched that match and it was great because the crowd was totally locked in, they were so hype. It was fun to rewatch. I think they should ban cellphones from live events tbh.
The fact that meltzer gave this match a rating of 4.75 stars is insane!!!
Dave is pathetic.
Its a 5 lel
These two never had a bad match together. Two entirely different characters, styles and personalities that worked so well in the ring.
Him vs angle will always be my favorite
At first I thought the woman in the background was the undertaker sneaking up on him 😂😂
Imagine how many times both almost retired before this. Had a massive outstanding career with top matches... They wouldve never imagined their all time best match would be at that age in the end. Beautiful ending.. Wish they kept it that way instead of that horrible tag match in saudi.
Honestly, I think it's the best match for both Shawn and Taker and of all time. It's memorizing watching it as a recap and more so in person.
Thats not the first one...the first one was at ground zero
Give a Hell yeaH y’all for Shawn Michaels
Perfect Feuds.
Taker vs. Michaels
Austin vs. Rock
Flair vs. Steamboat
Edge vs. Cena
Eddie Guerrero vs. Rey Mysterio
Jeff Hardy vs. Rob Van Dam
Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit
AJ Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura
Sting vs. The nWo
CM Punk vs. Samoa Joe
Bret Hart vs Owen Hart
LA Knight vs The Miz is lookin' good so far! 💯
Yeeeaaaaaahhhhh! 😎👍👍
🔥🔥🔥
Close enough, the perfect match, and not overrated. It would be one of the matches I'd use to convert the Not-We to wrestling.
In fact I have and it succeeded.
Hbk was in 4 of the best ever ,iron man v Bret , v razor in ladder match , and taker , and kurt match
I agree
I mean Shawn beat taker 2 times which was hell in a cell 1997 and royal rumble 1998 and taker beat Michaels 2 times at wrestlemania 2009 and wrestlemania 2010
Yes best pure match
This one an I thought triple h vs undertaker no holds barred was really good too
HHH vs Benoit vs HBK in my opinion is the greatest wrestlemania match ever.
you could argue
Angle Vs Michaels was better
@@northleedspoppa I actually have never seen that match I need too go watch it I'm sure it was a technical masterpiece 👊👊
@@andrewroles3417 it was amazing probably my top 2 ever us workers
The iron man rematch at vengeance is Maybe better
Haha I could think of about 50 micheals matches that are amazing
@@northleedspoppa you have too give credit for him against undertaker the career vs streak match
best ever in WWE history
I have the dvd watch it 100 times always hyped up my favorite match ever and i didnt even see it live shii😂i knew Undertaker win and still was perfect like that
You could pick a random HBK match and it would probably be any other guys ‘greatest ever’ match. That’s how good he was.
I was there
Kurt Angle vs HBK at Wrestelmania 21?
WM25 Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels is the greatest match in WWE history.
First climax 🎉
Oh Sam
There’s a botched DDT in the 25 match that makes me prefer the 26 one. Also, the fact that Shawn’s career was on the line made that finish so much more impactful c
My guuuuuuuuuy😁😁☺️
I think the match against Kurt Angle is right up there with the first taker match
Which WrestleMania was that?
25
69
I say this, Hogan v Rock was the greatest WRESTLEMANIA MATCH, but in terms of pure perfection and highest caliber of a match WWE has ever produced, MICHAELS V TAKER MANIA 25 WAS WWE'S GREATEST MATCH EVER PUT TO CAMERA.
Wow he didn’t say “you know” once!
He did lol
HBK should have won
I prefer his match with Mankind at Mind Games
That’s a bad dude
i don't know if others agree, but it just drives me nuts when Shawn Michaels switched from tights to big leather chaps, and he just didn't look right in his second go around in the WWE, he could wrestle no doubt but it was like it was telegraphed motions, and Macho Man was my fav. wrestler and I always say soon as he switched to cowboy hats, shirts and streamers and cowboy boots, it wasn't the same, and ironically I think this match WM 25 between HBK and taker is the most overrated match right next to Steamboat Savage at 3, both good matches, great? no, IMO a great match was HBK badd blood 97, and tons more that don't get the attention, Macho Man Warrior wm7 that's a great match, and HBK was really good, but I don't ever want to hear fans say he was better than Hitman, he wasn't, if you like nachos and cheese and all the fixings and a cold coke HBK is your guy, if you like a steak dinner with a baked potato and a cold beer, that's Hitman, one was steak and the other was sizzle
The greatest match I have ever seen is
Bret hart vs Steve Austin at wrestlemania 13
Perfection
First? Thought he fought him in a casket match
Dave Meltzer not giving this match 5 stars is exactly why you shouldnt take his ratings seriously.
I'm sorry... I love you...
What made HBK one of the greatest was not only his unparalleled ability inside the ring and his promo work but the fact he knew how to orchestrate himself perfectly... You'll never look at a match and say that HBK individually was a poor performance regardless of what he was portraying... Paired up with the Undertaker who very rarely has a bad match himself (especially at Mania)... They put on the perfect match and as we saw the following year (as good as it was) they couldn't match their previous encounter and that speaks volumes about what they produced at WM25.
Best match ever and Shawn shouldn’t been the one to end undertakers steak
Perfect would have had HBK winning
I know I'm in the minority when I say I prefer the sequel. I like matches with a story to tell instead of a display of athleticism with not much else, and the sequel had more of that, whilst still featuring some kino spots.
What the fudge is with that hat ???? Did he raid macho man’s house before this interview
I don't know how old this interview is, but Shawn has aged a lot since then. 🥺
He should’ve ended Undertaker’s streak
best was iron match with bret....second first ladder match razor ramon...third is undertaker angel vs death...my opinion 😂
Of course he dont wanna mention the montreal screwjob
It's in my top 25. But I am not a fan of HBKs work as much as other's. HBK is in my top 5-10. A great talent. Rushmore material even. But he wasn't an Angle or a Bret Hart or a Benoit or an Eddie Guerrero. He couldn't work the super matches the Hogan Stone Cold & The Rock & Andre. He fit somewhere between them all. He was more a Macho Man without the charisma/intensity, or a modern Flair without the heel ability. They just hated him because he looked gay. He didn't draw money as champ & because he was friends with the Kliq Vince choose him ever Bret which almost destroyed Vince because "those boys ..." Left to go to WCW & only HBK remained & he faked a back injury to carry the company when Vince needed him.
Basically he whined when he had the title that his ratings & buy rates were low. Refused to do jobs. Got Bret screwed. Didn't stop his friends from going to WCW. Retired UNTIL his friends came back & he was "magically" healed. Then by then everyone kinda forgot what a failure he was because they had these great memories & his boys were helping him make more.
HBK was always the most overrated ever. But he gave Hogan one of his best matches ever (no overselling in that match). That's just how he always did it. No one ever said he oversold that match until TH-cam trolls rewrote history 10-15 years after the match. I was there in real time. It wasn't spoken about ONCE.
He gave Austin the reigns & let him do the work for the Attitude Era & he didn't even do most of the DX work. So just WTF did this guy do? His "sorta" associated with stuff but he was never "The Man." He was always the man who wrestled the man - much like his pal HHH. He gave Flair a great send off match. So I can't fault him there.
That's why I have him top 5-10. Probably 5th or 6th. His Barbershop angle was the beginning of the attitude era. Every kid remembers Janettey going through the glass.
But the way he had even Taker following him around to make sure he did things correctly during the 90s... He almost put Vince out of business & whyyyyy Vince choose him I'll never know.
Angle, Flair, Hogan, Macho Man are my Mount Rushmore.
5) Stone Cold
6) Bret Hart
7) HBK
8) Undertaker
9) The Rock
10) Antonio Inoki
After that it gets hard. You start having ato pick guys who were masters of 1 thing like Andre the Giant, Mick Foley, Harley Race, Gorgeous George, Lou Thesz, The Gold Dust Trio for their contributions alone etc.
But the older I get the lower HBK moves down the list. His style is stolen by more marks in the ring today like the Young Bucks & it looks so bad while the Bret Hart guys like FTR look so good. You can definitely see which style is timeless & which one was a flash in the pan & why WWF didn't draw with him on top. No one should have copied HBK. He is legit responsible for the death of pro wrestling & admitted to as much in his 2000 shoot interview. Which is why he is working to try to fix it in NXT.
Wrestlemania 26 match is better than wrestlemania 25 match.
Its sad Michales aged quickly
Kurt match was better yup I said that lol
wrestletool LMFAO
Michaels moves is not pain full against Undertaker
All of Jack Swaggers matches are better
bret vs hbk was better
the screw job is his favorite🪶
