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.
