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.

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.

[@libfit9068]

@@JPK169That’s just factually incorrect and shows your lack of knowledge. Shawn Michaels was still a tag team performer when Bret was making it up the ranks and was intercontinental champion. The WWF was moving away from Hogan and those guys and Bret was next in line, and won the championship in 92 when Michaels was finally breaking out of tag matches. Even when Shawn Michaels became intercontinental champion, Bret was already the champion and face of the company. Now, who you think is better in the ring is your opinion. I prefer Brets technical and better in ring storytelling. Every match looked more realistic and a gruelling battle. To me, most of Shawn’s matches just seemed like him being flashy and just winning.

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.

Well said. Sustained popularity, how ever that is achieved at the time, will carry more weight than any one person's set criteria on how to judge an entertainer. Technical skills have never meant more than the ability to control an audience's emotions.

Not that he’s on my mt Rushmore but I’ve heard a lot of people say Chris Jericho is up there and I’m actually becoming more open to it. Having success in WCW, WWF/WWE, AEW…I think he deserves a mention

[@lm4585]

Jericho was really good since I seen him in WCW. I knew he was great when he was just a mid carder and WCW had no idea.

[@ronaldroberts9555]

@@lm4585 yea WCW missed it with him.

[@strtfghtr88]

@@lm4585 I knew Chris was great when he could hang with the greats in the cruiserweight division. Eddie, Rey, Chavo, Kidman, you name it!

I love love old school stories from Legends

[@werefox85]

The decades of yelling and "woo!!"ing have caught up to Mr. Flair. Ric's voice is rough, but he still got the Flair and the stories. Love hearing the megastars like Ric/Hulk/Jerry/2many from the 70/80s talk about Andre. I had to adjust my audio settings by dropping the bass but I very much enjoyed this interview.

Shawn (geezzzlewezzz) Michaels is indeed the GOAT

[@jxstified7558]

No, Taker is...

[@justineebourgeois3420]

⁠@@jxstified7558no, its “Stone Cold” Steve Austin!

Stone cold is hands down the goat

[@wilcee238]

He’s so important that you spelled his name wrong. Moving on.

[@kirkdavis8964]

Shawn was great in the ring but is not the goat.

Shawn *performance* wise top tier

Bret hart made wrestling more realistic then any other wrestler....prove me wrong

[@brooklynbandit6788]

Kurt Angle!

[@rs8247]

Bret was a better in ring story teller. Kurt had more physical attributes though for sure. Just my opinion

[@warmist8197]

My God this man is a national treasure. I'll never forget the act he would put on when his opponents "dazed" him 😂 ....legit physical comedian! 2:00 you can literally SEE the smile in his EYES when he reminisced about Andre the Giant. Ive heard Ric has a huge heart and a super sentimental cat...you can see how much he loves the game.

[@HollywoodFilth]

Steamboat vs Flair in 89 series of matches is something I don’t think has been matched . I also liked his series of matches with Kerry Von Erich . Ric is number 1 on mt Rushmore imo . He did all this after he broke his back.

[@CRAZYHORSE19682003]

omega vs okada can be matched with steamboat and flair

Its funny because i don't have ric flair on mt. Rushmore neither.

Shawn is the 🐐 man’s came back from a career ending injury and put on 4 ⭐️ and up matches during his second run,his match with take is top 3 of all time

[@dynasty5723]

shawn greatest of all time as far as wwe is concerned in ring ability crowd engagement pacing speed high spots unique spots not the greatest on the mic but his influence is felt to this day he opened doors for smaller guys to be big ticket main eventers in an era when wrestling was not enjoying the best of reputations. carried the company on his back and eventually proved instrumental in ushering in the attitude era. he has countless iconic moments

[@TShunter89]

I think it’s awesome having wrestlers on here. Thanks for having Ric Flair on here Unc! Definitely enjoyed it!!

As a Dominican when Jack veneno "won" the titlle from Ric, it was arguably the biggest social event that happened to us. they sold that kayfabe story for at least 5 more years, What a time!
