How does one pick Shawn Michaels‘ greatest matches? He undoubtedly has the greatest catalog of matches in professional wrestling history and there’s a reason why he’s considered by many as the greatest in-ring performer in the history of the business. Along with Bret Hart, he was the face of the New Generation Era, which represented a period where “smaller” superstars were pushed and it paved the way for many other superstars in the future.
Night after night, Michaels stole the show and won several accolades along the way, including world titles. He suffered a career-ending injury in 1998 and came back over four years later. Many wondered if he would be the same Showstopper that he was, and he proved that he hadn’t missed a beat. His second run may not have seen him win several championships, but it saw him work with a new crop of talent and have another legendary run before his swan song in 2010.
Let’s take a look at his five greatest matches.
