Bret Or Shawn?
 

Who did you prefer?

Bret by a fucking mile.

If my last few years of reading any and all wrestling history have taught me anything, it's that Bret is the wrestlers pick in terms of skill but as a pure spectacle Shawn had much more to offer.

I don't care, Bret Hart had better matches more regularly.
Shawn Michaels is credited as some sort of genius but he never made anyone look good. That is a myth.

Shawn Michaels over Canadian Jeff Jarrett

Jeff Jarrett is also better than Shawn Michaels.

Always choose bret

I'm gonna say we let Scott Steiner decide,

He is after all, a man who has wrestled a lot of countries.

Tough call here. On one hand we have the king of Mexico North and on the other, Shawn Michaels who should compete for the intergender intercontinental championship and wrestles women.

Tough call, I'm gonna have to go with the big bad booty daddy Scott Steiner.

Shawn for me. Always found Bret to be boring.

Jericho is better than both of them though.

I know what you're doing, you fuck.

People who don't appreciate Bret probably prefer Michael Bay-style films over the Godfather.

Atta boy

Shawn Michaels has no believable matches beyond Bret Hart or his tag career.
Every other match is just watching him Bury everyone, even their finishers.

If you spring up after 5 seconds on an outside powerbomb, it ruins Sid.

And he's a piece of shit

Bret Hart's father was to my father as Bret Hart was to me.

Completely unrelated.

But what a technician!

I love Bret Hart.

Shawn Michaels is better all around though. Especially when you look at HBK when he came back from his injury. He was able to evolve and grow despite his physical setbacks.

So maybe pre WM 14 you go Bret(maybe). HBK second part of his career separates him from Bret and other wrestlers as well.

Why, Shawn Michaels never even had a good match

Bitch

I've grown to really love Bret Hart. Maybe that fresher appreciation is what pushes him over for me? Shawn probably had the better spikes, but I just think of Bret being more consistent. Dunno.

Bret is the human sleeping pill. He's the Canadian Jeff Jarrett because he's a giant bore who wasn't a draw, had boring matches and was the best of a bad situation like Jeff was in WCW 2000.

Realistically Bret is like a Steve Blackman level of wrestler. Nice opening match guy, good hand in the ring who warms the crowd up for the actual talent.

Sir.

HBK is a better wrestler and better on the mic.

I get the debate on in ring ability. But Shawn on the mic by a lot, no comparison there.

Shawn gets the win because of that easily in my book.

he wasn't really that great on the mic.

Bret was great as a heel and far superior in ring worker. Shawn has more personality and better seller

Quoted for the truth.

On the mic, hbk is just entertaining, not the best, but always fun to watch. Is he the GOAT in general? probably not, but he is, no doubt, the most entertaining wrestling figure in a while

See Dale, I'm only saying what's painfully obvious.

HBK and mainly because that 2nd run he had catapulted him from being very good to all-time great status.

Take away that 2nd run and I'd lean a lot more towards Bret between the two.

Shawn Michaels is a druggo

I'm beginning to doubt Gertner is Canadian.

HBK

True story

Me and my hs friend went to church a few times with hbk down in san antone. Hes a really cool guy but pushes the bible stuff pretty hard

God is in his tag team partner, brother brother.

Bret was one of the best sellers of all time - way better than Shawn in that regard. That is the one thing everybody talks about when bringing up Bret's work.

Shawn Michaels and it isn’t even close. HBK’s run from 2002-2010 alone is better than all of Bret’s career.

the words of someone with poor taste.

I was a HUUUUUGE Bret mark as a kid, and missed the ascension of HBK to main eventer as I stopped watching/following in ‘95, but objectively Michaels is better/has had the better career.

If his career ended in ‘98 it could be a different story, but that second run gets him over the line.

Bret screwed Bret

Remember that time Bret beat Shawn at Wreatlemania?

Oh wait he didn't.

HBK>Bret

Honestly one of my most memorable Bret Hart feuds was with Jerry Lawler. Lawler was too god damn funny through it all and honestly made the feud worthwhile.


Lawler > Hart

I mean you can argue Lawler is better than both Michaels and Hart.
