Greatest matches in Wrestle Mania history: No. 26

Over the next few months, I will run through the Top 50 matches in Wrestle Mania history (in my humble opinion) as the 29th edition of the event takes place on Apr. 7, live from MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Today, we look at the match that comes in at No. 26

#26, Shane McMahon vs. Vince McMahon in a Street Fight with Mick Foley as the guest referee —Wrestle Mania 17 (2001)—Houston, Texas

(Ranked the fourth best match from Wrestle Mania 17)

For two non-wrestlers, these two really put on an entertaining match. A typical brawl with Shane taking a few risks, including the ‘Coast to Coast’, slamming a garbage can into Vince’s face. At the conclusion, Vince seemed to have the match won until Linda McMahon (who in a ‘comatose state’) snapped out of it and kicked the chairman in the family jewels, followed by a knee to the face from Foley. In turn, Shane picked up the win
