[@Payseur]

The most naturally gifted performer in wrestling history.

[@desisdosis473]

Still unbelievable how crazy good he was in his prime. Charisma-wise I'd put him in the same league as Elvis or Ali, honestly even above them.

[@kiransingh3647]

And Shawn Michaels

[@adamasmie]

Shawn wasnt too bad either..

[@Richardprior839]

​@@desisdosis473 Sure bro😂😂😂

[@Payseur]

@@desisdosis473 "Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see." HBK's level of skill/talent reminds me of this quote. The nuances of his work, be it the timing, the facial expressions, being at the right place at the right time, improvisation and/or innovation, all while being seamless and entertaining af makes him my favourite ever.

[@LRM5195]

This dude was not the biggest guy in the room, couldn’t really lift people up and throw them around, didn’t really even do a lot of the cruiserweight moves, but somehow still became the best storyteller in the ring. Always knew how to build suspense and make a thrilling match.

[@BretHitmanHartOfficial]

Shawn Michaels is one of the most iconic wrestlers in the history of the sport. He had an incredible career that spanned decades, and he is often remembered for the great matches he had against some of the best wrestlers in the world. 😎

Shawn is Mr. Wrestlemania for a reason, every match he had was elite.

[@Confucius202]

His match with John Cena at WrestleMania in 2007 was pretty lackluster.

[@rorybiller]

Shawn went from the most arrogant man in the business to the most humble.

[@JasonCameron774]

I've watch his match with Angle over and over, it's top-top level!

[@kylen4701]

Shawn Michaels is a class act.

[@kornstarr]

Mr Wrestlemania. The MJ of in ring performers. The most fluid wrestler of all time and best big match performer. Anyone who saw his career is lucky.

[@mjj1701]

Wrestlemania classics in 3 different decades. The absolute greatest of all time.

[@cropsey7412]

WHo would have thought 25 years ago that the two creative bosses in WWE would be the DX guys...

[@HipHopXXIV]

Not hard to believe considering Hunter was with Stephanie.

[@JokerG16]

right lol. went from telling ppl to suck it and humping flags to now being coaches and booking. insanity

[@ivaerz4977]

And not to mention the questionable Things HBK did with Vince back in the 90s

[@markengland2807]

Vs. Jericho was one of my personal favourites. 💔

[@fmthebaron]

Yeah that one, match with Kurt, match with Bret, matches with Undertaker were all Perfect Matches so take your pick.

[@decksrex3965]

Easily the in-ring GOAT 🐐

[@BAztid]

He's in the conversation.

[@IamKirkoBangz]

True along with Benoit and Angle. Serious technicians

[@prestonpfeiffer]

Michaels vs Razor at WM10 and Michaels vs Austin at WM14 are my favorites

[@reeseangle9621]

I cannot believe HBK is a old man now that's crazy, my favorite of all time

[@saimcheeda93]

He's actually not that old. He's younger than Booker T and Stone Cold. But sadly he's looking much older

[@mjj1701]

[@realtalk3968]

His 90s matches with Bret Hart and Scott Hall were the best ones, at an older age with Taker and Kurt Angle don’t really remember them as great matches, i didn’t really follow wrestling after 2005 though but for me the 90s were the best.

[@nathangroom4442]

Give his match against Angle a rewatch, it's incredible

[@paulsquibbs5580]

Everything was better in the 90’s…

[@KeshHere]

90s Hbk had style , bigger muscles , aggression and skills. But I think his return in 2002 has more 5 star best matches

[@azraelfaust487]

his wrestlemania matches with Taker is easily one of the greatest matches ever

[@Radentstwo]

He had better matches in the 2000s during his second run working with better talent.

[@knightfall209]

I think Shawn and Austin should go one more time!

[@jamesmorant1406]

Nah Austin is 58 Shawn is 57

[@destinylassalle1170]

My favorite WM match would have to be undertaker vs hbk at WM 25

[@eggshan86]

Shawn and Bret were great together

[@KeshHere]

Hbk vs Razor Ramon, Hbk vs Bret, Hbk vs Stone Cold, Hbk vs angle , Hbk vs Taker wm25 and vs Flair Wm24

[@vb2388]

HBK vs Y2J at WMXIX HBK vs HHH vs Benoit at WMXX Were also phenomenal…the latter is probably the greatest triple threat match in wrestling history.. Shawn is easily the greatest in-ring performer of all time…no one can hold a candle next to him in that department…not Austin, not Rock, not Taker…and not even Hitman, who I think is the 2nd greatest in-ring performer

[@dylanmulroe9978]

shawn michales is the perfect combination of great promo skills and elite in ring talent I'm 18 i didn't see him wrestle in real time but every match I've seen on KZbin is 5 star quality he made a wrestler like that JBL dude that can barely move and cant take a bump look like a elite level performer🤷🏿‍♂🤷🏿‍♂

The match with Angle had little story line build?? They had Sherri and I think Marty involved that was huge.

Shawn vs undertaker mania match is the best for me

[@marshallt94]

Has a strong case for best match or was clearly the best match on the card at WrestleMania 10, 11, 12, 19, 20, 21, 23, 24, 25, and 26. Which is just nuts to think about.

[@Kiernanglynn20]

Might be true outside of 19. I think Austin rock 3 was better, and angle vs lesnar had a classic. It’s a shame it’s only remembered for lesnar landing on his neck. That’s card was stacked though.

[@fmthebaron]

@@Kiernanglynn20 Austin himself and Angle himself admitted that HBK/Jericho was the best match of WM 19.

[@BAztid]

10 belonged to Bret and Owen. They killed it without any toys or title vs title gimmick. Actually thought Shawn and Razor at Summerslam '95 was better than their 10 match.

[@Radentstwo]

Honestly I consider Angle/Lesnar match as the highlight of Mania XIX/19. What about his Mania XIV/14 match? That could be an argument.

[@Kiernanglynn20]

@@Radentstwo I like the Kane vs taker match at 14 more then Austin vs Michaels.

[@jasonrice9973]

Rumours this might be the last 2 night wrestlemania. If they’re going to do a 2-night mania they should make the first night NXT-exclusive. No need for NXT to have a seperate shoe on WM weekend, let them have their spot on mania too

[@robillustrates6949]

two night manias are great, can't see a downside to it from a money and performer standpoint. 8/9 hour shows are way too much.

[@dtruth5769]

Either Sean shrunk or he use to use lifts. Because he never looked so short. Even next to bret now he looks tiny

[@fillopez2646]

Look its Chad Frost

[@pablojpadilla9460]

Bret Hart vs Shawn is the greatest match he ever had

[@prestonpfeiffer]

I know Ariel had to throw it in but I seriously dont think they consider AEW in any of their scheduling plans. Yes there is crossover in the fan bases but for the most part,the NXT audience likes the NXT product and is gonna stick with it and so is the AEW fans.There’s not even a ppv profit to make from doing that anymore like the WCW or NWA.

[@vb2388]

My Top 20 favourite Wrestlemania matches would be.. 1. Undertaker vs HBK at WM25 2. Dragon vs Macho Man at WMIII 3. Bret vs Austin at WM13 4. Austin vs Rock at WMX-Seven 5. Rock vs Hogan at WMX8 6.
