WrestleMania 25: Undertaker talks about the WrestleMania 25 botch
According to wrestling fans, The Undertaker was supposed to land near ringside, but according to WWE, when Shawn Michaels dodged, The Undertaker should have landed on a cameraman which would have slowed his fall. However, the cameraman (played by former WWE Superstar Sim Snuka) failed to catch him, resulting in the Undertaker suffering a nasty landing. While Undertaker recovered and went on to win the match against Shawn Michaels, Snuka (aka Deuce) did not appear in WWE again and was released by WWE a few months later.
Despite a small mistake, the WrestleMania 25 match between The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels received a positive response from both fans and critics. Throughout the match, fans were split, chanting for both superstars, and at one point chanted "This is awesome", referring to the match itself. This match won Match of the Year at the 2009 WWE Slammy Awards. It also won Match of the Year from Pro Wrestling Illustrated and the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
