Thats such a good question, as most have pointed out. It is so tough to really give an good answer. I was along for the ride for HBK's first run in WWE and it was amazing. He was the biggest innovator WWE had under contract until that point. From the fast paced high flying matches, to the huge bumps, and risky interviews and angles. Some of the greatest and most memorable matches of all time. You know what they are. I think the honest answer though is his second run.
I do miss the old HBK, I miss the look, the really amazing athleticism, the risky promo's etc.... BUT he has faced much higher quality opponents in his second run than his first... Triple H, Undertaker, Angle, Flair, Jericho, Benoit, Hogan, Orton, Cena... in his first run he had great matches with Bret Hart, Owen Hart, Hall, Nash, Taker, Foley, Sid... and well now I have to start thinking really hard. I do miss the old HBK, but he is still the best guy they have and pulls out all of the stops when it counts.
I think its really cool that he was able to come back from retirement when nobody thought he could, and instead of embarrassing himself (like he though he would) he ended up developing a new way to work, the ended up being just as good as the old way.
