WWE video of Shawn Michaels' final walk backstage
WWE.com has posted a short video clip of Shawn Michaels backstage moments after his career-ending match with The Undertaker Sunday night at WrestleMan XXVI.
Among the people Michaels takes a moment with is longtime rival Bret Hart. It's pretty amazing that Hart was on hand for what appears to be Michaels' final match and even more amazing that the two have buried the hatchet. It's a happy ending all the way around.

Kev, with WWE posting this backstage footage, is it fair to say that HBK won't get any kind of sendoff on Raw tonight?

That was nice to see.

I think Michaels has shown true class and dignity by the way he's bowed out of the business. There's just no one like him when it comes to performing in a wrestling ring. He definitely gets my vote for the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2011.

Did anyone else hear the guy in the crowd after Sheamus interrupted and knocked out HHH?
WHAT DID YOU WANT TO TELL HIM?
That guy owes me a new keyboard cause I spit diet coke all over it.

With his speech tonight, Shawn Michaels shows he is pure class. Good job Shawn. It was a blessing to hear him thank Jesus Christ our Savior for saving him. Straight from the heartbreak kid.

It's a sad day, certainly, but I'm glad that Shawn got to go out on his terms, considering the way it almost ended. Very, very classy by the WWE. And I've been thinking the same thing about Bret Hart as well. Really nice to see them have a moment like that together.

It was very nice to see him laughing with Brett Hart.
I must admit that while watching Raw I was thinking of Flair still wrestling and didn't want to get to emotionally involved in the HBK sendoff. But, when Undertaker interrupted the beginning of his speech by coming out and tipping his cap, I did get a bit choked up. That was a great touch.

I have been an HBK mark for many years and can say with an open heart that watching HBK vs Undertaker at Wrestlemania brought me to tears after HBK lost. I thought I was done until seeing HBK last night on RAW and he made me tear up again. The man has grown up before my eyes and has become not only one of the best to ever lace up his boots but a true icon in world of sports entertainment. I hate to see him go because after the match that he and 'Taker had, he has proven that he is going out on top.
Question for you Kev, did you think that what HBK said on RAW about keeping his word to 'Taker that it was his last match, was it a dig to Ric Flair? HBK did retire Flair but now Flair is Wooooing it up over at TNA.
I also loved what 'Taker did when HBK first came out last night to give his farewell speech. 'Taker tipping his hat to HBK was pure class.

I loved HBK's farewell because it was many things Ric Flair's was not. It was understated, yet passionate, heartfelt, and sincere. More than anything, it felt permanent, and he felt at peace with the decision. Although he was never a huge draw, he's unquestionable the best performer of my lifetime. I was holding out hope he would get one last run with the belt, since it was obvious he was leaning towards retirement the last few years.
Also, it's great to see that Bret also appears to finally have some peace with everything that's happened. He finally seems like he's moved on from Montreal, here's hope that the industry moves on as well.
