I kept waiting for someone to make a thread explaining why those things weren't ironic. I hate when people do that because they're usually wrong.

Shawn's usage was pretty much correct, saying that he, the man who failed to break the streak and whose career was ended by Undertaker, can be the one to make the pinfall that ends Undertaker's streak. It would be ironic that Shawn Michaels in some ways would have broken Undertaker's streak AFTER Shawn's career was over.

However, people are mostly correct when they argue that Alanis's song does not include many examples of irony. Any hatred of people who point this out is unfounded.
