Which Taker/HBK match?

By Scott Keith on 25 July 2017


I spent the day rewatching their back to back Mania matches and I think 26 > 25. It had higher stakes, a stipulation that was shockingly adhered to (HBK’s retired), and has just a killer last third including the crazy Slap/Jumping Tombstone ending I know the popular opinion was 25 is better but there are a few awkward spots, and the lack of stakes going in make me towards 26. Given 8-7 years respectively to dwell, which do you like better and why?

​Uh, does 26 have "Shawn Michaels moonsaults Undertaker, lands in a tombstone, still kicks out, I shit my pants"? No? Then 25 still wins, sorry.
