What is your most Favorite Shawn Michaels match of all times?

[Wfanking]

Shawn Michaels is arguably the greatest in ring performer of all times, the Heart Break Kid, the Icon, the Showstopper, Mr. WrestleMania. Haters gonna hate, but HBKs comes only once in a life time and no one can ever deny his wrestling talents. There have been the likes of Flair, Hart, Benoit, Angle, even modern day in ring talents like Styles and Gargano. But there will never ever be another Shawn Michaels. Not only was he an all round in ring performer but his charisma, in ring drama, emotion, everything was perfection, if there is any wrestler who can be called perfect, its Shawn Michaels. Having started watching in 1996, I missed out the stuff he did as part of the Rockers and the iconic ladder match at WM 10 and all, but since the classic Ironman match with Bret at Wm 12 to his phenomenal retirement match with Taker at WM 26, i watched it all. His resume of great matches, MOTYs in both parts of his WWF/E career 1988-1998 and 2002-2010 is unmatchable. His return match with HHH at SummerSlam 2002 and him winning the first elimination chambers match at Survivor Series 2002 are the only two matches that ever made my eyes filled with tears of joy. Speaking of the first EC match, who can forget the classic first Hell in a Cell match in 1997, HBK's blood dripping with blood. HBK vs Austin at WM 14 the pivotal point of Austin's stardom and since then WrestleMania sells itself by the brand image and WWE has never had to look back. My most fav match ever to end in dq was HBK vs Mankind at Mindgames 1996. Heck even his Raw matches, the 50+ minutes match with Cena, his matches with guys live Shelton Benjamin, and all were classics. But out of everything what was your favorite?

As for me its doubtlessly Shawn Michaels vs Kurt Angel at WrestleMania 21. It was perfection, the greatest in ring performer in WWE history vs. the Olympic gold medalist who himself is one of the all times great with countless classics of his own. Very few matches live up to the hype. this did, it was perfection from start to finish, pure technical wrestling that needed no crazy gimmicks or weapons, two all time greats giving all time classics and I will never forget HBK fending against Angle's ankle's lock for so long before finally tapping but still being praised for his courageous effort, not only my most favorite Shawn Michaels match but also till date the greatest wrestling match I ever seen. They had another great rematch with HBK winning at Vengeance 2005, but their WrestleMania 21 match was far superior and my most favorite wrestling match ever.

What about you guys, what is your most favorite Shawn Michaels match of all times?

My favorite match and series of matches he had were against Kurt Angle. The intensity kurt had, hbk managing his style in contrast and all - 5 star matches

the honorable mention that never gets any credit is hbk vs shelton benjamin. That match should have elevated shelton imo

[ChunkBuster]

When HBK made Bret tap out to the sharpshooter in Montreal.

[jimbob007]

The Mankind match or SmmerSlam 1995 ladder match vs Razor. Also another classic was him & Diesel defending the tag belts vs Razolr & Kid on Action Zone in the winter of 1994. Please don't mention Johnny Sameface in the same breath as him & those other names.

The collapse match vs Owen on RAW

[badreligion]

I have a couple...

HBK vs Triple H Summerslam 02

HBK vs Triple H Hell in a Cell at Bad Blood

HBK vs Kurt Angle at Wrestlemania 21

And both matches against Taker at WM.

So many. He aint Mr WrestleMania for nothing.

Vs Flair, Taker 1 and 2, Angle, then Trips SummerSlam, even the Ladder Match with Razor and Iron Man Match with Bret. Funny thing is, he is better when he came back IMO.

Agree with you there. I didn’t like him at all in his original singles run but was a convert for his return run.

Probably vs Angle. But I still lmao @ his trolling of the Hulkster and their “match”

[Nacured]

He always had good matches with Kurt Angle, John Cena and Randy Orton

Maybe with the blessing of God? But 90s HBK is waaaay hotter though(nh). 2000s HBK started to bald, and too much of a good boy.

Undertaker at Wrestlemania

Getting stomped by the power of the Hulkster at Summerslam

[Land Shark]

When Jannetty beat him for the IC title on Raw

[BrickEX]

Undertaker 97 Badd Blood HIAC

Also the one against Mr. McMahon no holds barred WrestleMania 22.

[mrjolly2323]

The one where he pretended to suck a cock during his entrance.

HBK is easily one of my top 3 favorite wrestlers of all time, along with HHH and John Cena.

My favorite HBK match of all time is HBK vs. The Undertaker at WM 26.

If I had to choose two more, it would be HBK vs. John Cena WM 23 and HBK vs. The Undertaker Bad Blood 1997 HIAC.

Out of the blue moon, I really liked HBK vs. Edge at Royal Rumble 2005.
