Heartbreak & Triumph.
Like I said when I posted a previous wallpaper, either way, WrestleMania 26 marked the end of an era. The final moments of the epic Undertaker / Shawn Michaels rematch was bittersweet and awe-inspiring; seeing ‘Taker go 18-0 at ‘Mania and put an end to Shawn’s illustrious career is something that fans will never, ever forget. While nothing can really define the career of the legendary Heart Break Kid, I tried to pack as much as I could into this nifty lil’ wallpaper. It has everything from Shawn’s earliest days as one-half of The Rockers to his controversial character as leader of Degeneration X, from his “Boyhood Dream” era when he won his first heavyweight championship to his most recent self. There’s also other stuff in there like a ladder to symbolize all the matches he has revolutionized over the years. And while I’m pretty sad that we’ve actually seen the last of Shawn Michaels as an active in-ring wrestler, I’m also happy that he decided to retire while still “on-top”. I can’t imagine Shawn carrying on like Ric Flair or Hulk Hogan; one’s wrestling because he’s blown his bank-account to bits and the other can barely deliver a move without tearing a tendon. It’s good to know that HBK retired as still one of the greatest superstars in pro-wrestling history. Sure, HBK has “retired” before and made comebacks, but I think this one’s for good. I’m also betting that we’ll see HBK in some form (special referee, guest host, Hall Of Fame, etc) again in WWE, just not as an active competitor. Anyway, the wallpaper above comes in two versions. One’s “letterboxed” and one’s normal. Take whichever you prefer, fellas. This wallpaper was made to be grand for the Icon, The Showstopper, The Main Event, the Heart Break Kid, the one and only Shawn Michaels!

PS : The scariest part about all this is that there isn’t a young superstar in WWE today who’s promising enough to become as legendary as Shawn Michaels. Shawn and The Undertaker had TWO epic matches at two consecutive WrestleManias; probably the best matches I’ve ever seen, and it’s pretty worrying that there’s only a handful of superstars today that can somewhat try to live up to those epic clashes.

The Rematch Of The Century.
Probably the only match that could top Shawn Michaels vs The Undertaker at WrestleMania 25 would be Shawn Michaels vs The Undertaker at WrestleMania 26! When the dust settled after last year’s phenomenal showdown, I was one of the millions who were left wondering if we’d ever see a match of this caliber again anytime soon. I guess we didn’t have to wait very long. The only difference this year around is that it’s much more personal, and the career of one of the greatest superstars in wrestling history hangs in the balance. WrestleMania 26 will see the annihilation of the unprecedented “17-0 WrestleMania Streak” or it will be the final showcase for the Heart Break Kid, Shawn Michaels. Either way, this year will mark the end of an era. And while I wouldn’t want The Undertaker’s legendary winning streak to ever end, I also think that if there’s one person who deserves to break it, it’s the Showstopper, Shawn Michaels! But at the end of the day, I’m rooting for The Undertaker because while Shawn Michaels retiring is a huge loss, we all know nobody ever really retires in WWE. The streak, on the other hand, can never be “un-broken”.

So this is it. The sequel of sequels. And the wallpaper above is a sequel to last year’s wallpaper. It has been said that WrestleMania 26 could turn out to be one of the biggest ‘Mania events in WWE history, and by the look of things it seems to be going that exact direction. The matches are huge in scale but make no mistake and this isn’t to offend fans of other superstars; but there is no match this year that’s bigger than The Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels II! Download and enjoy, all!
