Are you seriously saying that Shawn Michaels is a complete unknown? Where the hell have you been? Is he on the same level of pop culture as Hogan or Austin, but nobody is but those two and The Rock. Just because he isn't one of the biggest names in the world doesn't mean a good fucking chunk of people know who he is. Shawn Michaels has cemented his place in pop culture and wrestling history with his body of work since returning in 2002.

Let me guess, CM Punk or Raven is more known around the world?
*Sigh* No, I didn't say that Shawn Michaels was a complete unknown. I am saying that he has never been the draw that is needed to go down as the greatest of all-time, though. Pretty much the same as Dave Youell.

John Cena, Batista, The Undertaker, Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan are all wrestlers I hear mentioned from time-to-time in every day life. Never once have I heard anyone talk about Shawn Michaels. Sorry, that's just the way it has been. Maybe he has been a huge draw, and statistics just lied to me. In that case, I apologise for hurting your feelings.

Truthfully, I have heard Scotty 2 Hotty mentioned more times in everday conversation than Shawn Michaels (twice -- both in association with "The Worm"). I'm not saying that Scotty 2 Hotty is a bigger star, or a better wrestler, but I'm just pointing out how little HBK has touched the mainstream consciousness. Over here, at least.
