I'll have to check out some of those lessor known 2nd run matches cause I stopped watching wrestling for that period.

A match I'm shocked nobody mentioned is Rockers vs. Orient Express @ RR 91. Up there for best ppv openers.

Damn, I forgot about that one, too. Also, The Rockers last WM match as a team at WM 7, them vs. Meng and Barbarian, also a good match.

Seen far more of Shawn than I have of Bret, so this will... actually be harder for me to narrow down to 10 most likely.

1. Shawn Michaels vs. Undertaker- WM25
2. Shawn Michaels vs. Kurt Angle- WM21
3. Shawn Michaels vs. Triple H- Summerslam 2002
4. Shawn Michaels vs. Razor Ramon- WMX
5. Shawn Michaels vs. John Cena- Raw in London 2007
6. Elimination Chamber- Survivor Series 2002
7. Shawn Michaels vs. Mankind- IYH: Mind Games
8. Shawn Michaels vs. Undertaker- Hell In A Cell- Bad Blood 1997
9. Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Jericho- WM19
10. Team Austin vs. Team Bischoff- Survivor Series 2003

Honourable Mentions- I feel like I could rattle off another 10, but I'll show some restraint and keep it at 5

1. Shawn Michaels vs. Kurt Angle- Vengeance 2005
2. Shawn Michaels vs. Triple H vs. Chris Benoit- WMXX
3. Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Jericho- Ladder Match- No Mercy 2008
4. Shawn Michaels vs. Vince McMahon- WM22
5. Shawn Michaels vs. Hulk Hogan- Summerslam 2005

I feel like most of those choices speak for themselves, maybe the last ones in each section look iffy? But HBK was a one man show in this ultimate underdog role trying to save Austin's career at the 2003 Series, a bloody mess, it gets me every time.

And the Hogan match was the one time we saw Michaels be something close to the absolute prick he was in the 90s, and trolling Hulk Hogan (who can still go fuck himself) was the icing on the cake.

I never cared for Shawn Michaels behavior and actually getting other wrestlers fired. He caused alot of problems. I would have put him in his place if I had to work there around that time. My favorite match is when Marty Jannetty beat him for the IC title on RAW.

2 more I forgot. The first Elimination Chamber match at Survivor Series 2002, an absolute classic. And Shawn's babyface performance in 2003 Survivor Series of Team Austin vs. Team Bischoff. Thanks @Rookie of the Year.

I also forgot the first EC match. That would've gone in my top 10 for sure. Another fun match that had some cool history behind it with HHH's injury and the story from either Jericho or Shawn's book about booking the match when they first saw the structure in the arena.

Good shout on the Haku/Barbarian match too. That was really good.

Definitely the greatest in-ring performer of all-time to me.

He's nowhere near the best on the mic (Rock) - though he's still terrific and underrated there.
He's definitely not the sharpest/smoothest in the ring (probably Bret)
But for overall performance/entertainment during a match? He's unbeatable. He can evoke emotion better than anyone

I'm enjoying reading everyone's lists so far. I'd have to think of my own, but it's probably a mix of all of the ones already named.
