Shawn Michaels had 2 hall of fame careers. Pre back injury Shawn was impressive. The irony is that when he came back he could not perform physically as he would in his prime, but he had greater matches, every year he stole the show, the man was a wrestling machine. God bless him.

Everyone says wrestling is fake and whats the point. Look at the joy Shannon has on his face just interviewing Flair. This is why we watched wrestling back in the day. It was absolutely a joy to watch with the memories we had with our families all watching together those iconic PPV events on Sunday evenings. The stories wrestlers have are some of the greatest stories ever told.

Promos of shawn after the comeback was just on different stratosphere, like for example as small and short his rivalry with jericho was which most of us forgot, that storyline was just different level, even that was the best highlight on other wrestlers career, but to shawn that was just a small piece, thats how good he is (and jericho of course). But to perform swiftly during that 04-09 run was just phenomenal and being not the same athlete before injury, you wont notice it yes, but if you watch closely its just different compared to the 90s shawn, BUT, he is still better than most even on those time. Flair just stated facts, as much as i love hogan and taker all time, Shawn for me is the GOAT.

I think you can't compare many wrestler because they belongs to different eras (with a different target of people) and during the same eras they have different roles. A lot of wrestlers dislike Ultimate Warrior for example (and probably for good reasons) BUT if u were a child at the time u couldn't help but be fascinated by him, even if he basically had 3 moves, his character was jaw dropping for a little kid. And he changed the game. So knowing that wrestling is a show, it's really tough to pick the right criteria (or to establish which one should prevail) to judge every single wrestler.
@RBZ-19 ай бұрын

Hogan is the Babe Ruth of wrestling even if he isn't known for being a great in ring performer.
@pihermoso11 Жыл бұрын
Hogan broke a barrier in wrestling, the age gap barrier, when hulkmania was on it was the pioneer of bringing all ages together for wrestling, that's why Flair puts Hogan in Rushmore

I'm a Bret Hart fan but Shawn Michaels is absolutely the Goat 🐐
Bret Hart should be there. Bret made himself and the other wrestler look great. Plus all his matches aged well. Ric and Hogan won’t admit it cause they hate on Bret.

I remember Ric Flair as a child growing up, and he would always have about 10 women standing on both sides of him , ( if I’m not mistaken, with similar hair ) in front of a private jet ! I can’t forget about the flashes robes & the woo 😂

He's absolutely right. Without bias, Wrestling's Mt. Rushmore is Bruno Sammartino, Hulk Hogan, Stone Cold and The Undertaker. Period.
