I love you guys
tbh I’m high key super proud of this video, so I hope you guys enjoy this❤️
Happy you’re back bro.
I was just watching your video on survivor series 2005
You better spend the two dollars I donated on a candy bar bruh 😂 or make it go towards your parents having to pay 800 bucks for one ppv
Biggie in the background was amazing
early vid nice.
Dude your story telling ability is incredible, I feel like you could read a children’s book to a bunch of adults and it’d still be entertaining
Fr!!!!!
Fact lmao shit like Tru tv 🤣😂
It’s the story itself
No he's just reciting someone else story . Leave it to him he would've booked cena vs taker instead of hbk
Hell, Pav could probably book Raw better than anyone in the last 10-15 years
Their WrestleMania 25 match had the perfect entrances , HBK coming out from up the heavens , Taker coming from down the hell , perfect match, 5 stars imo, perfect commentary, perfect crowd, greatest Wrestling match ever!
We here in Houston are honored to have hosted the best Mania ever (X-Seven in the Astrodome) and the arguable best Mania match ever (HBK vs Taker 1 at 25 in Reliant Stadium). Maybe wrestling companies should run in NRG Park more often, it seems like there's something in the air over here for legendary wrestling😂😂
I WAS THERE! Blessed to be going to XL 🙏🏾 Unbelievable match…the gasp when they botched the catch on Taker’s suicide dive was crazy…
I saw someone said that it wasn't shocking that HBK kicked out of the first tombstone and it was predictable. And I pointed out to bro that Shawn was the 4th person to kick out of the tombstone and he said womp womp, I swear people dont have anything to say when you point out facts to them.
it was the best 30 Minutes in a WWE Ring ever
“HBK waved, walked away and the career was over... Until the Saudi money came in” 😂😂😂
@Maddening Hustle69 He’s just quoting a line from the video dude. Chill dawg
😗😗😗
That damn Saudi money
@@joshuaalexander7100 The most deadly thing In pro wrestling next to the roll-up😂
I believe that it wasn't the money that brought him back but trips and vince all but begging him. After everything trips had done for him he couldn't refuse.
The fact that both Taker and HBK had bangers of a match against each other in back to back Manias despite being past their primes is insane.
Actually I'd argue both men were still in their primes but to each their own.
Probably not in their physical prime but both still in good shape and masters of their craft at this point.
Undertaker was in his best shape just two years before, and HBK's 2nd run was always better than his 1st. They were both in their primes for sure.
@@167kinggam Hbk's 2nd run was better?
Umm that's debatable.
Dawson not really. He had more classics in his 2nd run and iconic feuds w Y2J, Taker, Flair, etc. And he was in his right mind.
when shawn kicked out of the tombstone, i was shook as a kid, back when kicking out of a finisher wasnt common
Well it was kind of common. Hogan and the warrior for example.
When the "finisher" actually meant something

"but Shawn Michaels was definitely born but not born again" 😭😭😭WHEEZE
That WrestleMania 25 match they had is one of my favorite matches of all time, and pretty much THE best wrestling match of all time. Taker and Shawn just had this elite chemistry, every time they had a match, it was golden.
I can’t choose between this match and the next year
Yep same for me it's the best Wrestling match ever!
@Spare Slipstreamz Same I had Wrestlemania 25 on the DVR because I wasn't home for it live and I was only 5 years old, when I seen that match a few days later I knew I watched greatness but didn't realize truly just how legendary it was.
It gives me chills 🥶
Don’t forget Batista went from Generic Wrestler 55 to Yakuza Leader😭😭😭
“Babe wake up WrestingGifs posted”
Can we get the Taker vs. Triple H trilogy next? The DX Quadrilogy was one of the best things to come out from this.
The fact that Taker actually went/goes to church
I know wrestling is scripted but this hurt a little bit
@@Blackboigabe why?
@King_Dragmire Imagine hearing that The Undertaker - demonic, satanic cult leader who crucified the most popular star in the company at the time in Austin - goes to church. Ik it's the man behind the character, but let us just think away from that.
You killed that thumbnail harder than Diana
That diana line he said caught me off guard
Bruh💀💀
Noooooooo lol
Yooo chill tf out 😂
I choked on my fucking pizza 🤣🤣
Look at Shawn so inspirational
So inspirational
The flight reference
@@kobebryant9343 yessir
For me, personally, it was the fact that both men were pretty much old men at this point who got their primes behind them and that still had enough skill and power to deliver a great match. I don’t know why, but if done correctly, seeing 2 old men fight for their last chance of success can be really awesome! It reminded me a bit of the final battle of Metal Gear Solid 4.
When I was halfway through reading this i was like “ ye defo MGS4 snake vs liquid ocelot on outer haven “ and you just said it for me 😂
Yo that thumbnail is sick ngl.
my name is at the end of a wretlinGifs vid my life has peaked
WM 25 was a classic 👌🏻
WrestlinGifs must got that Part-Timer deal with UA-cam
Haha 😂
He pop up twice a year
Even Brock Lesnar shows up more than wrestlin gifs
@@pcpc9710 lollll
The best story in wrestling history. You’ll never see anything like it again.
That first match they had at wrestlemania was the definition of an instant classic. Good times
Not only was the two Wrestlemania matches between these two great, but the build was also really good. You don’t get many feuds today like they had back then
Not mention the "Running up that hill" Video package. It is just as good as the "My Way" video package.
@@Guanaco17 2 classics
Not only that, but their two matches played a key factor in Undertaker & Triple H’s two matches as well
@@DougieYT 3 matches(the forgotten classic that is X-7)
@@stevonwhite8933 It’s not forgotten and the only reason I didn’t list that one was because it happened before all 4 of the Undertaker Vs DX matches.
It dose not Matter how old you are you can watch this any age it’s 2 legendary match’s that can never be forgotten.
"Undertaker try to get in the ring, like a drunk uncle at a party" Bwoy you a fool 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
One of the most epic matches in WM history at WM 25, also mad props for the Hypnotized intro! I liked their WM 26 match as well, but their first one was just legendary.
26 match was better
25 was better but just by the barest of margins@@grandcanyon-fu9zt
The last ride reversal into a face slam from Shawn was smooth as hell.
Had the roughest week of my life but WrestlinGifs blessed me with this
Hope you are better now.
Man you did so good with the editing and storytelling, that I actually watched this entire video without skipping it.
❤️
Please do the undertaker return judgment day 2000.
This is why Shawn will always be my Goat. He made you believe that he was gonna get it done and end the streak, not once.. but twice. And then the conclusion at Hell In A Cell where he’s the special guest referee is just perfection. But Undertaker is number 2 for me All Time
I watched it lived with my family when I was 7 years old and let me tell you I cried out of hype and the end of HBK, I’m 17 now, rewatched it a few week’s ago and the nostalgia made me feel like I was there again
Man. WM 25 was just something special
WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE!
The fact that both kicked out of each other's finisher is insane one of the best matches ever
I remember this match whenever I was a kid and I haven't watched wrestling in many years as far as keeping up with it but I enjoy going back and watching all these highlights and reliving the matches from when I was a kid and the storytelling, how detailed everything was, real it felt, and I just appreciate the choreography and thought put into it.
Man I remember watching this match as a kid and just remembering how fantastic it was!
The WrestleMania 25 and 26 matches are two of the best matches in the history of WrestleMania. 25 was the better match, but 26 was the better story being told. There was emotion and chemistry in their matches and even though most people say Shawn's best opponent was Bret, I always felt Undertaker was his greatest opponent. It worked so damn well
I was at Mania 26 and watching that match live was just different. I was 13 and that shit made me cry since Shawn was my favorite wrestler.
Rivalries with amazing storytelling like this are the reason I love wrestling. Awesome video homie.👍
u again whats up
Shawn Michaels was, is and will always be my favorite wrestler. I wanted him to beat The Undertaker so bad the second time. It hurt a lot seeing him go back then. Both of their matches are in my top favorites. Even bias aside, they were really great matches. Just about everyone agrees on that. Thanks a lot for the great video! It brought back plenty of memories.
I just bought a new 360 and bought a lot of wwe games including 2k14 which showed up today can’t wait to get to this match lol
Man I miss those times
I was planning to play SvR 2010. And i see this comment😂
I remember watching his career end as a kid it hurt still hurts Fav of all time then now and forever
Editing is too clean on this one, my guy🔥
Look at wrestlinggifs being so inspirational this man gived us a fucking banger
Words can't explain how great this rivalry was. Great story telling, build up and matches 💪💯
That thumbnail dope af
I waiting for the "Until the Saudi Arabia Money comment"🤣🤣
That thumbnail tho 🔥
Best match in Mania history.
Wrestlemania 25, that match will forever be my favorite
I’m so glad I got to witness both of these matches live with my friends and family! Two of the greatest matches of all time!!
when we needed him the most...he returned!!
The greatest match of all time. It just don't get any better
6:04
"But wait, Taker watches MMA. So hells gate out of nowhere."
That was the best thing i've heard so far
Fire Thumbnail, man! Love Both Undertaker and Shawn Michaels
Thank you for this video anytime somebody talk about the Taker vs HBK classic at WM they never mentioned that the build up goes back to 97-1998 and then rekindled during 07-08 royal rumble .. it was a result of long time story telling that's why the story going into the match was so freaking awesome.
Also this is before false finishes was overused by modern day wrestler who tries to copy that exact feeling you feel when HBK kicks out of the first tombstone.
it was not the best wrestlemania match. it was just the best match ever 💖
back when kicking out of the tombstone was actually suprising
WrestlinGifs deserves as best story teller ever. You make the stories interesting and make it look so easy. Keep up the good work bro.
That thumbnail, the stuff of legend
This reminded me of Edge and Undertaker back in 2008. Edge played the mind games, try to stop Undertaker
But in the end, Undertaker won the war. But this rivalry was good too.
We need a video on the whole Edge/Taker/Batista saga of 2007/08!
As a whole this is the best Rivelarly in pro wrestling, from 1st HIAC to retiring Shawn. Two of the all time great putting 2 all time great feuds in 2 decades. If anyone's wants too see what's wrestling, show them Shwan and taker, one had that ultimate Charisma and Top in ring skill other one has that aura and Gimmick of immortality two of the finest of pro wrestling, doing finest work of putting great stories together to build a hype for match and delivering 2 all time great matches on biggest stage possible.
I was 11 years old and I cried for Shawn.. ❤😔
I'm barley 20 seconds in and this is already a banger of a video. Keep up the good work man.
I'm like 14 but I still remember wanting shawn to win so bad. By the way amazing explaining Pav keep it up
u were a baby when the match was on
@@ontherealoldisgold1783 I was to be exact 3😂
Shawn Michaels retired on my 10th birthday in 2010. What a sad day that was.
That Shawn entrance from Mania 25 tho
First 20 seconds of this video were absolute fucking heat
Hey dude. I got to say you're such an awesome storyteller in all things wrestling. To me I've been a fan for such a long time. Looking back at the two-part WrestleMania matches between Undertaker and Shawn Michaels both undergone their paths to setting records, accomplish winning championships, main event matches, even creating WrestleMania moments. On the 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania has some symbolism of Heaven vs Hell. Both future Hall of Famers and legends of the Attitude Era set the stage for one epic match of the century which to me I consider it the greatest match in WrestleMania history. WM 25 was a cherry on top of the cake and I watched it at age 18 I literally jumped for joy. Fast forward next year, Shawn Michaels made the challenge in a rematch against the Deadman. This time the streak vs career. If I thought Ric Flair's career ended by HBK was emotional, the Undertaker took to the limits to Tombstone Michaels as hard jumping the mat down as he did back at SummerSlam 1994. Woe for HBK, 18-0 for the Phenom. WrestleMania is the stage where legends are Immortals and careers end to the unworthy. Undertaker's Streak has been considered by many or few as the ultimate prize aside of a championship. Its that constant mystery of who is going to end the Undertaker's undefeated Streak at WrestleMania are those listed to be superstar elite and sure-fire Hall of Famers for future talent to do the unthinkable every once a year. A highlight to remember.
that taker instrumental remix towards the end tho 🔥
I really loved how they used the Slammy award to reignite HBK's desire to beat the streak. I remember being 11 so conflicted because Shawn Michaels is my favourite wrestler of all time but the streak was too iconic to break. Cried like a baby by the end of it
What a great way to end my day of work with a newly posted WrestlingGifs video, life is perfect 😁
That jumping tombstone reminded me of Here comes the pain tombstone 😭
hey listen i just wanted to say that your videos are perfect , like....i watch your videos at night when everbody’s sleep and i just feel like your there for me , you make me so happy with your videos so keep on the hard work❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.
The background music you used is so subtle and still out of the world especially towards the end with the taker theme on piano
Just found this channel now and don't regret it. It's very good content WrestlinGifs.
Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
The two greatest wrestlemania matches of all time and best matches in history!
This is honestly the perfect explanation video!! But its rly as simple as this guys. If u grew up with WWE. U know Shawn is the Showstopper, Mr. Wrestlemania. And The Undertaker is a legend who was known for his winning streak at Wrestlemania. That alone made the match legendary. Everything that lead up to it just made it more epic
With 1 exception whenever Shawn & Taker worked together it was wonderful. As a match I'd say WM 25 while 26 had bigger stakes but both were absurd masterpieces
I honestly feel like 2010 was the true Sipritual end to the Ruthless Aggression Era and 2000's WWE in general. HBK retired, Taker and HHH became part time, Batista left, Edge had his last full year until now, etc. The RA era in a way started right when Shawn came back in the summer of 200w and ended when Shawn retired in March of 2010. (Also the Running Up That Hill video package for Taker/Shawn II is still my favorite WWE has ever done.)
Also want to make note that HBK wore his Mania 25 gear for the 2010 Rumble and again, he came up short. And the WM XXVI gear is a darker colored version of the same gear, in a way, a more corrupted version of the same attire to show the depth of Shawn's obsession with Undertaker. Man, just every little detail about this feud was perfect.
OMG we miss them both , they are the best ever
Greatest rivals ever.
WM 25 was their best one to me
pav should be a commentator for wwe lol
hearing that biggie instrumental was all i even needed to like this vid. loved this before i even watched the full video.
good work as always brother
loved that flightreacts reference. one of your best videos for sure buddy.
Omfg pav watches flight lmfaoooo look at pav so inspirational
Another cool thing about the Wrestlemania 26 build up was how it also was able to put Jericho vs Edge in the world title picture
I get so happy when I see Pav post
Never Gotten So Hyped Before. Hypnotize Got Me Amped
Ahhh good times. Their ‘Mania 25 match is the best match I’ve seen.
WrestleMania 26 broke my heart Shawn was my guy! I grew up in the 90s 80s baby aka Old lol.....
What many people do not understand, but this video s a great example of: Wrestling is physical literature with characters and stories that are epic yet contain subtlety.
The Wrestlemania 26 match is stuff of legend that’s my favorite match
Taker vs Michaels is a classic
My man really used a quote from Flight.
You truly are inspirational
Man all the nostalgia vibes coming back after watching this video. Thank u wrestling gifs😭
They should’ve had michaels end the streak instead of lesnar
Preach
Definitely
What made WrestlinGif channel so underrated??
