Before or After: Shawn Michaels

Before his injury or 1st retirement.

He had some great matches and feuds when he came back but his feud with Bret that managed to expand into an international feud involving Canada vs the US was amazing. It also helped that he was pushed as being different than the typical big man wrestler in the main event and played a big role in both the rise of DX and final push to stardom for Austin.

His promos after coming back were much better especially the war of the words between him and the Undertaker that lasted for 2 Mania matches and provided some of the best moments involving The Streak.
