2nd half.
The first half was great, no doubt about it, but I think his second half has been better thanks to the talent he's been working with.
I mean, first of all, HBK entered his second half with what, 15 years experience? And unlike most guys, he hasn't slowed down with age.
But let's look at it like this, HBK's first half was generally made with weaker talent than the second. Sure, he worked with Austin, Foley and Hart who are all fantastic, but he also worked with the likes of Kevin Nash, Sid Vicious and Undertaker (I didn't really like 'Taker until 1999). During the early 90's he was still pretty young, so still kinda 'on his way up' and taking on a lot of mid-carders such as Jeff Jarrett, Razor Ramon etc.
Since his return in 2002, he has been a constant main-event level wrestler with 20 years of experience, and has had some amazing talent to work with such as Jericho, Benoit, Angle, Triple H, Undertaker (now), Rob Van Dam, Randy Orton, Ric Flair, even John Cena.
His entire career has been amazing, but I just feel since his return in 2002 he's had a much better roster to work with and has put on some amazing matches.
