Johnny Nitro/Shawn Michaels comparison
 

Hmm - I'll prob get some heat for this, but does anyone else see him as being the next Shawn Michaels?

I know Jeff Hardy got tagged with that label back in 2000 (why I don't know) but after watching RAW this week - I can kind of see a little Shawn Michaels in Johnny Nitro. Am I the only one?

Aside from his mic work, he's not bad.

That said, Shawn Michaels without good mic work is another face in the crowd.

No...in no way, shape or form do I see Nitro as the next Michaels.

If there is anyone out there with the potential to be the next Shawn Michaels, it's Eric Young.

Yes i see a lot of similarites between the two. Nitro is still green but he is a lot of potential.

Also Nitro and HBK are the most a like when it comes to bumping. That's what made HBK so good, and I can def see that being the case with Nitro.

not if Johnny-boy keeps cutting those lame-ass promos.

Michaels can use a mic and never needed a piece of ass (besides himself) to get over.

Sheri Martel?

Rockers Michaels sucked on the mic. Given the time Nitro could turn out pretty solid.

How long have you been watching?

What's Triple H then?

Not a piece of ass unless you are homosexual.

Sherri Martel.

Are you trying to tell me that people tuned in to see Sheri Martel instead of HBK? You're out of your mind.

And when I think of a piece of ass in wrestling, Sheri Martel is the farthest thing from my mind.


Too damn long, really.


HBK was well over long before Trips came into the picture.

Nitro will absolutely never be anywhere near the level of Shawn Michaels.

Punk couldn't less Michaels' boots.

Nitro is barely the next Jeff Hardy.

There's no-one in the industry, nor has there been for the last 10 years that can come close to doing what Shawn did, and still does!

QFT.

Nitro is good...but that press conference was horrible.

I doubt he'll ever be near Shawn Michaels, but I do still think he can be a solid wrestler.

gonna agree with destore/aussie skier. They guy will end being very solid, and maybe even be Michaels esq. but he will never be "the next HBK."

Melina is as about as ugly as Sherri Martell. But that's it.

Nitro is a snoozer.

I have to agree with Jeff though.

Their press confrence last week was about as entertaining as watching paint dry.

I have seen some Rocker Michaels promos near the end of his run as the rockers and he wasnt too bad

Near the end.

That is when he started to improve, thus they ended the Rockers and gave him a run alone.

Nitro sucks so no. The guy has such a look and a grand entrance, for such a boring, bland person.

Nitro first of all cant talk. Nitro, secondly, is a very shitty singles wrestler. He doesnt cut it.

He's not even close.

Sherri Martel was far from ugly. And she is easily in the top 3 best managers I've ever seen. I'd put her right up there with Bobby Heenan and Jim Cornette.

Michaels at that time was a phenominal worker too. I casually watched wrestling before then but was never hooked. The very second I saw The Rockers, that was it for me. Still never seen a tag team like them.

Oh and Michaels admits to this day he needed Sherri Martel to get over because guys didn't want to sell for him. Sherri told him to throw them outside to her and then she'd rip fuck out of them to the point they'd be begging to get back in the ring.

I love Sherri :D

Punk is the only comparison I can see to HBK, though thats from a Punk mark. HBK marks tend to think there will never be another HBK, thats just not true he wasn't/isn't that great. Definitely toppable. I've got Punks future right here: cocky, good worker, terrible draw. Sounds familiar...

Fuck off! Shawn Michaels not that great? I got about 100 Michaels matches that say different. When CM Punk works infront of 10,000+ crowds on a regular basis and steals the show practically every night, we'll talk about that overrated dick.

Calm down, your showing markism for HBK. I said that CM Punk everything HBK is, so if I sayed HBK isn't really THAT great... what does that mean? I love him, but he isn't the second coming like CM Punk marks/HBK marks make them out to be.

I'm not a mark for him. By being the biggest Bret Hart mark of all time, that isn't possible. However, I know talent when I see it.

Teddy Hart will become the next great one, whilst keeping the same attitude.
No need to become born again.

That would be sweet!

No comparison. At all.

What is comparable? Blonde, smaller, has a female manager, has a cocky "I'm Sexy" gimmick, he must be the next HBK.
