we have crossed the dessert to get to the show of shows the Grand daddy of them all.Wrestlemania  26 and much like the shifting sands of the Arizona dessert. nothing will be same after tonight.

And now to our feature presentation!

america the beutiful was sang by Idol winner Fantasia. or as the song is called in Ireland, "the Last Piss-Break before the matches" (With apoligies to Americans Everywhere)

video package was good!

UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
Truth and Wisdom (r-truth and John Morrison) Vs Big-Shite (big show and The Miz)

hey miz,Edge called he wants his jacket back! seriously it look just like it right down to the rectangular fasteners and shoulder pads. okay match starts of like every miz match with him getting his ass hand to him with a double leg drop( one breaking dancing,one toprope) and thats it! thats much co-heviseness that the challengers have for one move and to think that miz and morrison only separted last year. starship pain misses and morrision lands on the "injured" ankle.
Big show and one Linkara Punch...

I AM A MAY'UN!
*PUNCH*

WINNER AND STILL TAG CHAMPION: BIG-SHITE! 2/5

KOFI KINGSTON VS MVP VS EVAN BOURNE VS JACK SWAGGER VS SHELTON BENJAMIN VS MATT HARDY VS DOLPH ZIGGLER VS DREW MACINTYRE VS KANE VS CHRISTIAN

Kofi's new hair cut is ...well he looks like a cross between Mr T and a Mohican. which brings the question what would happen if Mr T was A Native American?

Mr T: I PITY THE FOOL, WHO DOES'NT VOTE YES ON PRO-GAMBLING REFORM LAWS!

Weird!
 Kane has a black eye coming in! and this match is under way! Hardy gets a twist of Fate Early and its a scramble to get up the ladder. this leads to a choke slam  and christian monkey flips bourne onto a ladder
zig-zag of the ladder to Christian but ziggler gets porter's Players Boot but he gets a pay-dirt. next Shelton and Christian put 2 ladders on the rung of another and sandwich in Swagger. bourne is so close to the briefcase but instead shooting star press of the 20ft ladder. kane gets shelton brakers the ladder and his leg!

Shiek: BREAK DAT JABRONI LEIG!

But kofi gets the halves of the broken ladder and uses them as stilts! and nearly gets there in if wasnt for macintyre who as been absent in this match! new ladder and twist of fate on christian off it ! its christian and swagger and swagger hits christian with the briefcase and its swagger!

Shawn with a figure-four. this hot crowd of 75000+ people are loving this match.And i hope you are too!another chokeslam but shawn kicks out.tombstone by the Deadman but countered into an ankle lock. 'Taker at the ropes ref gets shawn to break the hold.big clothesline to the Phenom sends both men to the outside. shawn goes for a crossbody but he gets caught and tombstone on the floor.

Back in the ring as taker goes for the last ride but pain causes his legs to buckle under the weight. sensing the opportinity Michaels goes for the big elbow but gets knees instead. but this counter also is bad for taker as he got him with the bad knee. it also doesnt help when he uses the hells gate but taker gets rolled-up!

both mens finishers get 2 counts as the match is again taken out-side. Super-kick puts taker on the table and michaels Moon-saults through it. taker comes out first and is limping heavily, michaels throws himself in.

THE STREAK: A RETROSPECTIVE OF UNDERTAKER AT WRESTLEMANIA

17-0
this numbers drum up feelings of excitement in wrestling fans as Undertaker as he nears his 2 decade tenure in WWE. but are the matches any good? well join me as we walk down memory lane.

a little key to start with i will mention along with Mania number,a up or down in regrads to the year before,his alignment and how the match was won.

1.
vs Jimmy snuka (N/A, Heel, WM7 Pinfall)
The Superfly was his first victim snuka was far from his prime but this was a good match.
2.
vs Jake the snake (down,Face,WM8, Pinfall)
again another wrestler past his prime but jake was in terrible shape but it was to get worse..
3.vs "Giant" Gonzalez(down,Face,WM9,Dq)
vs Wrestlemania 9 has got to be the worst mania ever! case in point takers opponent a BASKET-BALL PLAYER AND NOT A WRESTLER! at least Vince didnt hire strippers and model to bulk up his womens division and give his tag and us belt to a gobshite from MTV right?

oh.
Moving on!
4 vs King Kong Bundy(up,Face WM10,Pinfall)
what difference a year makes. wm2 Bundy had a title match,the year after that a tag match with..Midgets?
again Bundy was past his prime but at least he was better than the year before!

5 vs Diesel aka Kevin Nash(up,Face,wm12 pinfall)
the taker rose from the dead and smashed through the glass ceiling to met Nash( who just happens to be the best friend to the champ. taker became a main event competitor in the eyes of management because the next year...

6 vs Psycho sid Visious (up,face,wm13,pinfall)
the 13 mania is consider to be the second supercard in the franchises history. a young Dwanye Johnson took his first awkard steps towards stardom. Austin bled for the sport that he loves, and taker bet sid to capture his second wwe championship!

7vs Kane for the first time(up,face,wm14,pinfall)
Kane was one of wrestlings most anticipated debuts in wrestling. the"brother" of taker. the some-times rival sometimes tag partner was taker opponent at 14. the match was a success even if the rest of the night wasnt it!

8vs the big boss man(down,face,wm15,pinall)
the attitude era ia here! and taker is struggling the sport is told to "be real or get edgy" Taker does this by simulating Hanging a police man!

yeah! and you wonder why wwe gets a bad press!
9 vs triple h(Up,Face,wm17,pinfall)
by now Taker has changed he hangs up the hats and clock and is dressed in biker clothes. he comes out on a bike instead of the death-march in other-words we are seeing the man behind the gimmick! and in his home town of Houston, hhh is beating all over the reliant area!

10 vs Ric flair (down,heel,wm18.pinfall)
NEXT!
11 vs A-train and Bigshow(down,face,wm19,pinfall)
this was supposed to be a tag match against the above and with Nathan Jones.but was taken out. in the end the assist from jones had taker pin a-train
12 vs kane for the second time(up face wm20,pinfall)
the Deadman is back! the old gimmick is mixed with the new moves as the gimmick is new life breathed into it!
13vs Randy orton(up,face,wm21,pinfall)
legend vs legend killer. orton was too cocky and taker defeated him! but orton got the last laugh later that year!
14 vs Mark Henry(down face wm22,insertion in the casket)
KOOL-AID!
so taker won this match but mark henry is a plodding 400 man with all the speed of a tetonic plate. and the coffin was so big you could put a steinway in there!
15 vs batista(up,face,wm23,pinfall)
taker won his first world heavyweight belt that night against shitista!
16 vs edge(no change,wm24,submission)
Edge tried to stack the deck in his favour, but a win for the phenom was in the cards!
17vs shawn Michaels for the first time (up face,wm25,pinfall)
the match to end the last decade. this was a match you could show non-fans and say "this is why i love wrestling"

well thats it this is my 99th post! which means that i'm saving my mania results as number 100!
be sure to catch me on youtube though my name is naturally ThePathofenlightenment and on Bogger box office for Top 10 god-Awful childrens films.PERIOD!
