Do you think when Shawn Michaels and HHH kicked out of the tombstone at WM26, 27, and 28 that it was made a little less intense and entertaining because of when HBK kicked out of the tombstone at WrestleMania 25? that was really the first time thats happened on such a big stage and match

True. It used to be if you got hit with the Tombstone, the match was OVER. Nobody was kicking out of the Tombstone. But once HBK finally did at WM25, I've almost come to expect Taker's opponent to kick out of it now. So yeah, it's lost its 'sting' now that everyone is kicking out of it.

Yes because I think only Shawn Michaels and Randy Orton were the only ones to kick out of tombstone, but HBK was that moment when everyone was on edge of their seats.

I think it's slightly true and slightly false. It didn't lose any intensity when they kicked out of it, but it did certainly make the tombstone seem less powerful.
And to add on Mark Henry's point, it was actually Undertaker who reversed a Tombstone attempt first, when Jericho tried to steal it many many moons ago.

I'm not sure but I THINK Randy Orton kicked out of one too? And I think Randy was the first to counter the tombstone into another tombstone.
