The day after WrestleMania XXVI ushered in a new era. While a crop
of new, exhilarating, young Superstars are being cultivated in the hothouse
of WWE, it was time for one Superstar, Shawn Michaels, to bid farewell after
offering up a 25-year feast of cherished memories and jaw-dropping moments.
Thank you, Shawn Michaels.
Shawn Michaels offered WWE Universe his farewell address
After an unparalleled 25-year career, Shawn Michaels choosed his retirement
after the storyline of losing his Streak vs. Career Match against The
Undertaker in WrestleMania XXVI.
Emotions ran high throughout the WWE Universe as The Deadman entered the
U.S. Airways Center and tipped his hat to the opponent that came closest to
ending his WrestleMania winning streak. Before that show of respect, HBK had
entered to a standing ovation to address the crowd. He thanked his friend
Triple H, Mr. McMahon, Bret Hart, his family and the WWE Universe for the
greatest ride of his life. And for the final time, he said with tears in his
eyes, "Ladies and gentlemen, The Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels, has left
the building.
