Gorgeous match of the week volume 2: Shawn Michaels week

So I decided to go all pre- 1998 because it's more interesting that way. His classics with Jericho, Angle, Taker and HHH are all pretty fresh in our minds whereas pre 1998 was quite a long time ago and it's cool to see how he developed.

I'm going with his match with Davey Boy as my favourite, though his match with Jarrett is a close second. The heat for the Bulldog match was fucking off the charts, and he really was the fucking man as a dickhead heel and knew how to piss that crowd off. They nearly went into a riot at the end of the match... whereas the Jarret match was great but it was sort of cookie cutter Michaels at the time, which was awesome, just not as awesome as heel Shawn. The psycology and story telling was nearly untouchable. It also helped that in '97 Davey was really back in his late 1980s form, as they talk about saying he lost around 20 pounds, and he was incredibly mobile, AND strong.

I was thinking about doing a Shawn vs. Davey feature and showing their 3 main matches they had, but I had just done the Stampede thread last week.
