The fact Bret hated this man with a passion and still considers him to be one of the greatest says all you need to know. It’s a shame these two never saw eye to eye cause man, these two were special together. Probably what made it special though. Nothing but love for the both of them and two of the best to ever do it. Thank you gentleman❤️
While certainly patched patched things up over the years, Bret always recognized Shawn’s in ring talent. I remember seeing interview once that he was very excited to find out he was going to be working with Michaels at Wrestlemania 12. I’ve always thought it was incredible just how great of matches the two of them put on together despite the personal heat between them
I stopped watching wrestling back in the 80s but I love the stories these guys tell. As someone who toured the U.S. in vans with punk rock and metal bands in the late 80s and early 90s, I can relate to a lot of their road stories. Anyway, if there was one match with Michaels that you'd recommend watching, what would it be?
@thegoodfellow41 Bret was a great in ring talent and a phenomenal ambassador of the art form too...THEN he started to believe he was a needle mover and became the biggest piece of selfish ungrateful shit, the business has seen since Verne Gagne
@chyaboi11 Ooooh that comment was about as witty as a Shawn Michael superkick. The heartbreak kid must have greased you up real nice with his strip chip and dale dancing🤣🤣🫡🫡
Hogan is trash he is all hype, the worst wrestler in the history of all wrestling I’m glad they are calling cena the goat cuz hulk damn sure ain’t no goat
Does make the compliment even better though. If you're saying that about someone you didn't (and probably still don't) like at all, then it's absolutely real. And remember, this was all said by wrestlers that could make an argument for themselves as being one of the GOATs.
@@imb1grush Not my cup of tea but I did really enjoy his tag team with Pillman and _some_ of his ECW stuff. I think his performances in the WWF would have been up there with the guys I mentioned had Owen not broken his neck; his moveset was significantly hampered by that and he became very limited in the ring. His character work was obviously excellent but this is a conversation about _in-ring_ performers.
@@doomsdaycarnage1422 I think you can. He was the guy that made me stop while I was flicking through the channels in 2000 and watch wrestling for the first time. He was my absolute favourite. Now, I can't bear to see any praise for him. *_NOTHING_* is more important about Chris Benoit than what he did to his wife and son. Absolutely nothing.
Just watch Bret hart, almost every move felt like a spot. He was a great puncher, great seller, technically excellent, and never waited around in the ring for the next sequence.
Yes, and watch him and taker at mania, him and kurt at mania, him, hhh, and ___ at mania and even ric flair. Any wrestlemania match involving him literally 🤩
If we talk about business The top 5 are 1. JHON 2. Micheals 3. Undertaker 4. Rock 5. Steve But if we talk about the one who really makes WWE interesting than 1. Brock 2. Goldberg 3? Undertaker 4. Jhon 5. Triple H
... Wtf is this list lmao 1. Stone Cold 2. Undertaker 3. The Rock 4. John Cena 5. HBK With a lot of honourable mentions, but Stone Cold and Taker are always in the top 3 no matter what. Also Goldberg isn't even in the top 100 of people who make things interesting.
@@chyaboi11 cûnt born of Mariana trench Steve is Austin! Rest Brock's impact in WWE is more than Rock's impact and I am spitting the fact not delusional emotional shit like you fans do. So it's better to know the facts first. Brock 02-05 18 5 Star matches more than Steve (2nd) with 13 5 star matches. Brock 13-18 (2nd) 16 5 star matches. Goldberg's impact was humungous cuz he came to WWE after his 176 match streak and he was the power show! If you don't know about anything better stay quiet! Now go and bark somewhere else
He could have easily won 10+ world titles after his comeback in 2002 but he knew he wasn't the same Shawn of the 90s and by then many good talents were there so he unselfishly made way for the others for the next 10 yrs and that's how he won everyone's hearts and is why the GOAT in WWE
People saying he's overrated are delusional. When some of the greatest wrestlers of all time say that he's the best, he's the best. Even a lot of fans' favorite Kurt Angle said that Shawn is the best of all time.
@@kevinbarber1361HBK has been praised as the best way before he retired😂. The clip of Y2J wasn't recent either. And nobody calls Cena the greatest in ring performer, they say greatest Superstar. Theres a difference
HBK was best IN-RING performer of all time. -He sold moves the best (Rag-dolled his body taking finishers) -He told the best story (loses in the 1st half, wins in the 2nd half) -GOAT at building suspense (Gets to his feet RIGHT before a 10 count) -Top 5 Most Athletic (moonsaults, flipping over the ropes, kip-ups)
@@JessCalarco-lc9st bullshit, and it shows you clearly havent seen him wrestle. aside from the hogan fiasco, he was one of the best to sell the rko, pedigree, he made the batista bomb look like it killed him. you get his respect, he 'll make you look like a million bucks . and calling him not being able to recover from a botch? he was the one that orchestrated the dx vs rated rko ending when hhh got injured and the guys were panicking on what to do. dont talk if you have no idea what you are talking about
@guy-rk1jj Get outta here, He had to ask Gerald Briscoe for wrestling holds Because he knew Brett Hart was gonna manhandle him After the montreal screw job. He did not know an arm bar from a candy bar. There's a difference between Performing and wrestling. Apparently you didn't see his little whiny Hissy fit when he wrestled Vader right? He oversold like a cartoon character and evertime he tried a wrestling Maneuver He was out of his comfort zone. Why he relied on flipping around like an acrobat In a circus and relied on his little strip and dale dancing. Apparently you didn't watch any of these matches right? Yeah how much money did he draw? Thank you I rest my case. Keep on bringing it. Shawn Michaels=OVERRATED
@theofficialgreenkane9645 Stop spreading a false narrative. He was one of the worst sellers of all time. Flop around like a Cartoon character. Didn't know. An arm bar from a candy bar. He could Perform. I'll say it again as good as a performer he was is as terrible as a wrestler. I'll be updating a top 10 reason.Shawn michaels is overrated list soon.
@theofficialgreenkane9645 TOP 10 REASONS SHAWN MICHAELS IS OVERRATED. 1. WRESTLING: Shawn Michaels is not a wrestler from a purist standpoint. Was out of his comfort zone when trying to perform a wrestling hold .Why he relied on flipping around like an acrobat from a circus. He had to ask Gerald Briscoe and Pat Patterson for wrestling Holds and maneuvers for protection from Brett Hart After the montreal screw job. He did not know an armbar from a candy bar. 2. FORCED PROMOS. All of his promo's sound forced like he has to change his voice to sound credible yet came off sounding Like he's making a parody of himself. Let's not forget his Lose my smile promo. What a joke. 3. OVERSELLING. It is absolutely ridiculous and delusional to think Shawn Michaels was a great seller. Again was he trying out for a 3 Stooges skit? He oversold to the point He was a real life cartoon. We're not just talking about his match with Hulk Hogan either. He exposed the business by acting like a a extra,from a loony tunes cartoon. 4. COULD NOT RECOVER FROM A BOTCH. Shawn Michaels vs Vader. Anyone? If sean michael is so great why did he throw a hissy fit when he could have just had a natural flow to recover? To be called the greatest, you need to check off All the boxes and this includes how to recover from a botch. 5. BELIEVABILITY. The art form known as pro wrestling Is scripted entertainment right? Ok so it has been reported by reliable sources that Shawn Michaels Has lost every fight he's been in. So how can you believe Him wrestling goldberg? The undertaker? Batista? And getting the upper hand????? Please give me a break. 6. BACKSTAGE POLITICS. Everybody wants to crap all over HULK HOGAN for this But Shawn Michaels made this a whole new art form. Did not want to put steve austin over. Never wanted to put Brett Hart over even though Brett did several times. Balked at putting Sid over As long as he won it right back. Derailed VADERS career just because of one missed spot. 7. INNOVATION. What innovative moves did Shawn Michaels come up with? SUPERKICK???? Basic move. DROPKICK???? Basic Move. ELBOW FROM THE TOP???? Basic Move. 8. STORYTELLING. Again this is one of those that just dries me absolute bonkers. So overselling to the point of a cartoon character is good storytelling???? Not recovering from a missed spot is good story telling???? Is acting like a strip Chippendale.Dancer is good storytelling???? 9. BEING A BABYFACE. Again Shawn Michaels himself at least admits he was not comfortable being a babyface. And would prefer playing a heel? Why is that? It doesn't take talent just To just act like yourself. In order to be the greatest , you need to be able to pull off being a babyface and heel. Something Shawn Michael's at least admits himself. 10. AND DRUM ROLL PLEASE: DID NOT DRAW AS CHAMPION. No excuses that the business was down. If Shawn Michaels is so great, Then wrestling fans would have been talking about this new upstarter.And what could have been said "wow you have to check out this guy's moves "tune into wrestling. That Did not happen. And that is a far more accurate description of Shawn Michaels. SHAWN MICHAELS=OVERRATED.
So hard to even do a top 5 wrestlers of all time let alone a top 10 but Shawn, Brett, Chris Jerhico, Taker, Cena, Austin, Rick Flair, Eddie Gurreo, and Mick Foley would be on my List in no particular order
I want to disagree so hard because I absolutely want to see AJ, Kurt Angle, Edge and Christian and KO on that list, but I have no idea whom to replace with any of them.
@@rudyperez7680 in the top 20 but honestly not near the top theres other Samoans who go higher like Yoko its hard to do a list with 30+ years and more then one company worth of talent rattling around my head
In their Mania match the slight execution errors were on Kurt tbh. It was still a 5-star classic. But no one out performed Shawn. He and Bret were magic.
The first wrestler i ever watched was Shawn Michael, he used to be European champion back then, and then i realized how beautiful a man can be, charming, naughty, attractive, skilful and had an amazing connection withe crowd. Right after that, i saw him with the Undertaker, Bad Blood in your House, followed by Austin and Ken Shamrock. Shawn was one of the prominent reasons for me to keep watching WWF/E
I have agreed with these statements since...oh...bout 1984ish!!! My older brothers took us to see Southwest Championship Wrestling at the building behind the old Austin City Coliseum, of course in Austin Tx. Shawn and Marty were there, along with Scott Casey, Big Bubba, One Man Gang, Zambuey Express, Sheepherders and Johnathan Boyd, and lots of others. Anyways, the big guys were in the ring early that night, the ring seemed smaller in person, it was,well it collapsed with the big guys. While the road/ring crew were setting up the new/"real" ring, the wrestlers came out to sign autographs and chit chat, it lasted bout an hour, it was cool. I didnt have anything for them to sign, so, i got Shawn, Marty, and Scott Casey to sign my arms...I kept them on my arms for bout a week and a half or so!!! In my Top 5 Greatest childhood memories!!! Thank You Shawn, Marty, and Scott!!! I wish I could meet them again, that would be AWESOME!!!
I’m so glad I grew up in the 90s and was able to watch his greatness in the ring. The 90s were truly the golden age of wrestling, but I stopped watching once I finished middle school.
Hbk Shawn Michaels was is and will remain the greatest man in the ring I wish we could live his daies in wwe one last time even if this is and the last one 😢
In my childhood I never thought of it that way. I liked him but he wasn’t on stone cold or the rock’s level with popularity. BUT looking back, he was the total package. Charisma, acrobatics, and great storylines. Great matches. I guess they’re right.
HBK retired a legend and got retired by another legend. His form for wrestling was next level. I don't think we'll ever get another Shawn Michaels in our lifetime
IMO…Shawn & Brett were definitely the 2 best wrestlers in the ring of all times.…both came from 2 of the best tag teams in the wwf back in the day too…they did it all! To this day I still look back @their matches including the Ironman match on YT!🤙🏾
Use 🎧 for experience
TERRIBLE VIDEO!! The most overrated wrestler of all time.
So glad I just happened to be wearing a pair already 😂🤤
Wish we got a Eddie vs HBK. 😢
Very very good call.
I believe that was a feud in the works where they would wrestle at WrestleMania 22. What could have been...we miss you Eddie. 😔
They were supposed to face each other at Wrestlemania 22 for the world title, and Eddie was supposed to win. What could have been. 😞
I always create that rivalry in svr2007 gm mode
Man
The fact Bret hated this man with a passion and still considers him to be one of the greatest says all you need to know. It’s a shame these two never saw eye to eye cause man, these two were special together. Probably what made it special though.
Nothing but love for the both of them and two of the best to ever do it. Thank you gentleman❤️
Yes they was they both was my favorite of all time.
that was the praise that hit the most sincere if he had stayed clean and healthy i would love to have those lost years back
They already patched it up since 2010.
@@hessiankyojin there is a difference between an on show make up and something like this , esp considering how much of a mark hart is for himself

When your biggest rival in and out of the ring says you’re the best, you’re the best.
damn straight
He says he is in his top 5. Bret Hart says the best ever is the Dynamite Kid.
@@karlparratt1730right they took his words out of context
Such a shame that hbk and aj never cross path.
Man that would be my ultimate dream match along with just only a few others
Yes it sad that a Dream will never happen. With A.J. S
& C.M.PUNK.
It's a shame HBK VS RVD DIDN'T HAPPEN AT WRESTLING MANIA THEY HAD ONE MATCH WHEN HBK RETURNED IN 2002 FOR THE WORLD BELT ON RAW
Would of been a banger of a match aj going for that forearm of his right in to the sweet chin music drool
Yeah it too bad AJ & HBK Match never came face to face with each other.
A Dream Match.
In a lot way AJ reminds of SM.
AJ has ❤️
That, “I love you” before the super kick to Rick Flair is iconic. The respect and love in just those words to that legend at his age. Classic
I stopped watching wrestling back in the 80s but I love the stories these guys tell. As someone who toured the U.S. in vans with punk rock and metal bands in the late 80s and early 90s, I can relate to a lot of their road stories.
Anyway, if there was one match with Michaels that you'd recommend watching, what would it be?
That was corny 😂
It should've been Flair's last match. I think everything he did (in ring) after that match was a detriment to his legacy.
That was a Sweet Chin Music, not a superkick
Two people liked my comment but can't tell me a great match to watch to understand why the greatest wrestler of my youth says is the best ever.
What's more impressive than his in ring work is his redemption story
Shawn was so good he even got God to be his tag team partner against the McMahons.
😂😂
😂😂😂😂 love this comment
And put on a show in that match
Vince is a madman😂😂😂
That was a good 2 on 1 Match lol
HBK n Hitman both built similar to a degree. One more acrobatic the other technical. Both created magic in the ring.
Fuckin facts...
Facts, brotha
Hell yea bro 💯
That's true. They were spitting image opposites. Great contrast
@thegoodfellow41 Bret was a great in ring talent and a phenomenal ambassador of the art form too...THEN he started to believe he was a needle mover and became the biggest piece of selfish ungrateful shit, the business has seen since Verne Gagne
Just because you don't care for someone personally doesn't mean you can't give them their roses for greatness!
For me the two greatest in ring performers were HBK and The Hitman. HBK the showman and The Hitman the in ring storyteller.
Shawn vs Rollins would be 🔥.. They would have blew the roof off
That would be cinema
styles vs shawn would be even bigger
You look at the main event talent now... those are dream matches of every type, and all with one man
That's Why He's Mr. WRESTLEMANIA for a Reason. Always... 👑

Aj and Shawn would be an instant classic without a doubt
Thats it though, Shawn and everyone else was an instant classic.

Does make the compliment even better though. If you're saying that about someone you didn't (and probably still don't) like at all, then it's absolutely real. And remember, this was all said by wrestlers that could make an argument for themselves as being one of the GOATs.

Completely 100% agree! The Rock, Goldberg, Taker, and Hulk Hogan were definitely my all time favorites growing up but HBK is for sure a HOF legend.
I watched for nearly 30 yrs. Hands down a ring general, a master of showmanship and just ability. Could wrestle a pillow and make it a 5 star match

Yes 🙌🏻
The Main Event.
The Icon
The heartbreak kid
The Headliner
Brett Heart, Shawn Michaels, and Razor Ramon.
There will NEVER EVER BE ANOTHER SHAWN MICHAELS.... EVER.. THANK YOU FOR ALL THEM YEARS OF WRESTLING
That’s the first positive thing I’ve head Bret say about anyone in decades.
I have always been in love with Sean Michaels style of wrestling.
His greatest superkick ever, it's against Alberto DEL Rio
Just watch Bret hart, almost every move felt like a spot. He was a great puncher, great seller, technically excellent, and never waited around in the ring for the next sequence.
Bret should have had some kind of alternative finisher to the sharpshooter instead of those silly pin roll ups .

True legend and one hell of a wrestler and entertainer. Simply put the best
From being a Rocker to what he became - PHENOMINAL!!!
He really was. The best seller, the best crowd popper, the best improv, the most fluid wrestler I've ever seen.
Just watch Shawn Michaels vs Chris Jericho's Wrestlemania 19 match and see why he's so great
Yes, and watch him and taker at mania, him and kurt at mania, him, hhh, and ___ at mania and even ric flair. Any wrestlemania match involving him literally 🤩
@@WrestleLegends true
100% agree. I didn’t realise so many legends thought this too
Shawn will always be the Heartbreak Kid.
Because everytime you think of him it breaks everyone’s heart that we couldn’t have one more match.
Tbh dolph vs Shawn and letting Nick be the one to retire him would have been the best outcome.
Seth Rollins vs Shawn Michaels would have fed families
Man that would have been a modern and old school classic bout. I could even imagine the selling, the moves, the false finishes
Thank you for H.B.K for Entertaining me.
HBK legend of legends .. thank you Shawn.

I did enjoy his matches the most. Very entertaining, high flying, lots of drama... loved it.
My fav of all time “Shawn Michaels”

@theofficialgreenkane9645
TOP 10 REASONS SHAWN MICHAELS IS OVERRATED.
1. WRESTLING: Shawn Michaels is not a wrestler from a purist standpoint. Was out of his comfort zone when trying to perform a wrestling hold .Why he relied on flipping around like an acrobat from a circus. He had to ask Gerald Briscoe and Pat Patterson for wrestling Holds and maneuvers for protection from Brett Hart After the montreal screw job. He did not know an armbar from a candy bar.
2. FORCED PROMOS. All of his promo's sound forced like he has to change his voice to sound credible yet came off sounding Like he's making a parody of himself. Let's not forget his Lose my smile promo. What a joke.
3. OVERSELLING. It is absolutely ridiculous and delusional to think Shawn
Michaels was a great seller. Again was he trying out for a 3 Stooges skit? He oversold to the point He was a real life cartoon. We're not just talking about his match with Hulk Hogan either. He exposed the business by acting like a a extra,from a loony tunes cartoon.
4. COULD NOT RECOVER FROM A BOTCH. Shawn Michaels vs Vader. Anyone? If sean michael is so great why did he throw a hissy fit when he could have just had a natural flow to recover? To be called the greatest, you need to check off All the boxes and this includes how to recover from a botch.
5. BELIEVABILITY. The art form known as pro wrestling Is scripted entertainment right? Ok so it has been reported by reliable sources that Shawn Michaels Has lost every fight he's been in. So how can you believe Him wrestling goldberg? The undertaker? Batista? And getting the upper hand????? Please give me a break.
6. BACKSTAGE POLITICS. Everybody wants to crap all over HULK HOGAN for this But Shawn Michaels made this a whole new art form. Did not want to put steve austin over. Never wanted to put Brett Hart over even though Brett did several times. Balked at putting Sid over As long as he won it right back. Derailed VADERS career just because of one missed spot.
7. INNOVATION. What innovative moves did Shawn Michaels come up with? SUPERKICK???? Basic move. DROPKICK???? Basic Move. ELBOW FROM THE TOP???? Basic Move.
8. STORYTELLING. Again this is one of those that just dries me absolute bonkers. So overselling to the point of a cartoon character is good storytelling???? Not recovering from a missed spot is good story telling???? Is acting like a strip Chippendale.Dancer is good storytelling????
9. BEING A BABYFACE. Again Shawn Michaels himself at least admits he was not comfortable being a babyface. And would prefer playing a heel? Why is that? It doesn't take talent just To just act like yourself. In order to be the greatest , you need to be able to pull off being a babyface and heel. Something Shawn Michael's at least admits himself.
10. AND DRUM ROLL PLEASE: DID NOT DRAW AS CHAMPION. No excuses that the business was down. If Shawn Michaels is so great, Then wrestling fans would have been talking about this new upstarter.And what could have been said "wow you have to check out this guy's moves "tune into wrestling. That
Did not happen.
And that is a far more accurate description of Shawn Michaels.
SHAWN MICHAELS=OVERRATED.
Shawn is the overall GOAT
I truly agree that Shawn Michaels is the greatest performer of all time... that man is a living legend 🫡
Absolutely, Michaels set the bar for being good in the ring
Shawn vs razor was one of my favorite rivalries as a kid.
Yes Shawn Michaels is the greatest to ever grace the ring
One of my favourite star ⭐ HBK shawn Michaels 💔
Goat of wwe
So hard to even do a top 5 wrestlers of all time let alone a top 10 but Shawn, Brett, Chris Jerhico, Taker, Cena, Austin, Rick Flair, Eddie Gurreo, and Mick Foley would be on my List in no particular order
I want to disagree so hard because I absolutely want to see AJ, Kurt Angle, Edge and Christian and KO on that list, but I have no idea whom to replace with any of them.
What about the rock? 😭😭😭
@@rudyperez7680 in the top 20 but honestly not near the top theres other Samoans who go higher like Yoko its hard to do a list with 30+ years and more then one company worth of talent rattling around my head
kurt angle man
@@guy-rk1jj actually a contender for top 10 but hes just behind DDP on my list
I pray I get to live to be great as Shawn is such an inspiration to me 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
He and always well be my favorite wrestler. His music is my ringtone
Shawn Michaels is just amazing
Shawn Michael's was really good when he was an enhancement worker in Mid-South! He had the skills of an acrobat.
I suspected that Bret Hart wasn’t going to say Goldberg 😂
No one should say Goldberg 😂
You didn’t understand, it’s a joke, 🙃 it’s because Bret is angry with Goldberg 🙄😂
The Hit Man has his Point of view.
HBK was always my fav. 👍
Kurt angle is the best in ring performer
Stop
Bret ❤
In their Mania match the slight execution errors were on Kurt tbh. It was still a 5-star classic.
But no one out performed Shawn. He and Bret were magic.
Heart Break Kid was really smooth as magic trick inside the Ring
Shawn Michaels is a legend! The HBK who broke a lot of people's hearts after he retired....😢🥲👍👍👍
Imagine what that feels like crazy good stuff HBK
My favorites were Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, Chris Benoit, and Eddie Guerrero. Freaking AWESOME in-ring talent.
The first wrestler i ever watched was Shawn Michael, he used to be European champion back then, and then i realized how beautiful a man can be, charming, naughty, attractive, skilful and had an amazing connection withe crowd. Right after that, i saw him with the Undertaker, Bad Blood in your House, followed by Austin and Ken Shamrock. Shawn was one of the prominent reasons for me to keep watching WWF/E
Shawn was a pure showman! Him with Stone Cold was something awesome!
The headliner, the showstopper, the main event...
The Hot Rod, Jimmy Super Fly, Macho Man, Ricky The Dragon and the Latino Heat
Shawn Michaels is arguably the GOAT. He’s definitely in my top 3. Top 3 greatest performers of all time in WWE. Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair and Edge.
Top all that with the iconic DX moments. Absolute legend
I just kicked stan 👀😒
I have agreed with these statements since...oh...bout 1984ish!!! My older brothers took us to see Southwest Championship Wrestling at the building behind the old Austin City Coliseum, of course in Austin Tx. Shawn and Marty were there, along with Scott Casey, Big Bubba, One Man Gang, Zambuey Express, Sheepherders and Johnathan Boyd, and lots of others. Anyways, the big guys were in the ring early that night, the ring seemed smaller in person, it was,well it collapsed with the big guys. While the road/ring crew were setting up the new/"real" ring, the wrestlers came out to sign autographs and chit chat, it lasted bout an hour, it was cool. I didnt have anything for them to sign, so, i got Shawn, Marty, and Scott Casey to sign my arms...I kept them on my arms for bout a week and a half or so!!! In my Top 5 Greatest childhood memories!!!
Thank You Shawn, Marty, and Scott!!!
I wish I could meet them again, that would be AWESOME!!!
HBK is one of my Favorite, one of my best wrestler I grew up watching
My all-time favorite
I’m so glad I grew up in the 90s and was able to watch his greatness in the ring. The 90s were truly the golden age of wrestling, but I stopped watching once I finished middle school.
Hbk Shawn Michaels was is and will remain the greatest man in the ring I wish we could live his daies in wwe one last time even if this is and the last one 😢
In my childhood I never thought of it that way. I liked him but he wasn’t on stone cold or the rock’s level with popularity. BUT looking back, he was the total package. Charisma, acrobatics, and great storylines. Great matches. I guess they’re right.
The heart break kid! The icon ! The show stopper!!!
Shawn Michael is one of the greatest of all time he in my top 5 mount rush more.
HBK retired a legend and got retired by another legend. His form for wrestling was next level. I don't think we'll ever get another Shawn Michaels in our lifetime
The GOAT without a doubt. ❤/💔/😊
Favorites are who take care of you in the ring. 😊
I'll give that one to Bret as have claimed by many
@@WrestleLegendsand Taker
my childhood favourite
Is like shaun Micheal's is the Ken in streetfighter and Bret the hitman hart is the Ryu 🙌
Chicago Illinois rocks with this because its honest and real
My favorite since day 1 watching Wrestling
Boi When the music would kick in
Whoaaa Whoaa Im just A Kid 💔
Shawn Michaels and aj styles would be amazing
The REAL GOAT. 100 times out of 100!
In ring surely 👍🏻
I'm glad as a Canadian wrestling fan in the late 80s early 90s that i made the right choice.
Shawn vs aj would have been one of the greatest matches ever
I’m not mad at it, Shawn Michaels is definitely up there with the greatest wrestlers of all-time.
Top 5: Shawn Michaels, HBK, Mr WrestleMania, Showstopper, and The Icon! 🤯
IMO…Shawn & Brett were definitely the 2 best wrestlers in the ring of all times.…both came from 2 of the best tag teams in the wwf back in the day too…they did it all! To this day I still look back @their matches including the Ironman match on YT!🤙🏾
Definitely in 2 of the 5 All time best matches. Probably in 3 of the 5 All time best matches.
Thank you so much Shawn Michaels
Thank you Bret, he is humble
Marty Janetty was the real work horse
