"I am simply the very best sports entertainer in the world today"
When Shawn Micheals made this claim was it valid in your eyes?. Shawn is a remarkable athlete and is a big gamer in big time matches. If there ever has been anyone that outperformed Shawn Micheals in a one on one title match? I have yet to see it.....

Does nobody remember Survivor Series 92 around here?

Bret beat Shawn in the middle on the ring.

Not so quickly my friend.

Bret has defeated Shawn in tag matches, a survivor series elimination match, a cage match and the first ever ladder match. All clean mind you. I renounce HBK's victories over Bret considering something dumb always went down.
Therefore, the record is in the Hitman's favour.

I think he probably is. He's not the greatest wrestler, but he IS surely a showstopper. If he's not the best on the mic (And I can't name many I'd put before him), he's damn close. Combined, he may very well be the greatest today.

Though Eddie and Kurt might take the top spot too.

He has a winning record over everyone he faced I think you mean. Because most the present stars he has not faced, because he isn't wrestling now a days.

Yes, correct.

Also I can admit HBK was perhaps the best sports-entertainer in the world at one time. For me that was in 1996, when he had his most productive year.

Hate to mention this but Owen Hart may hold a winning record against Bret as I can't remember them meeting after Owen beat him at Wrestlemania. Can anyone confirm this?

Personally, and I'm looking at this as being 10-15 years old, I never watched the WWF for Shawn back then. That's the god honest truth. I will say I loved watching the Rockers, I loved his feud with Jannetty, but after that, I really never liked watching him anymore after that. His heel run I found a little entertianing, but his babyface run was just a total turn off for me. People rate that Mania 10 Ladder match so high, but back then, the highlight of the night was seeing Bret win the Title from Yoko.

Bret's great feuds with Owen, Backlund, Lawler, Yoko, Perfect, Mountie, Austin and all of his matches that he had with guys like Hakushi, 123 Kid, Pierre L, Doink entertianed the shit out of me. Bret was fighting everyone for the World Title when he first had it and I thought that was just quality. His feuds all had great stories and emotion attached to them, which I thought Shawn's lacked.

I thought Shawn had some excellent matches and all, but something was missing with everything else. His promos, his storylines, his character, his constant leaving and coming back.

When he got to DX Shawn, he was much better though. He had great matches and he was a great entertainer with his character. He really got under your skin here.

But 94-97 HBK was just not my cup of tea at the time at all.

Here are my thoughts on HBK...


First of all. He tell's one hell of a story when he wrestles. His emotion on his face. He sells like no other and the best part is, it doesnt matter if its WrestleMania or Saturday Night Main Event. Two of my favorite matches in his career were Wrestle Mania 8 , and his match vs Bulldog on Saturday Night Main Event when he won the IC title. He's the guy , that in baseball terms when people would say " You got 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th , game 7 of the World Series and you need a home run to win the game, who do you got? " In wrestling. You got HBK. His heel turn on Marty jeanette was the greatest heel turn ever imo. Even today as he gets older , after the major injuries, he still puts on 5 star matches. His match with Angle, Benjamin, Jericho at wrestlemania. Best sports entertainer in the world today? After that Hogan bit on Raw and knowing what i know about his capabilities in the ring today, which are still excellent. Yah he is the best today.

Best ever? No . The Rock is the best sports entertainer ever. I'm not even a Rock fan anymore, but no one can compare to the Rock in his very prime.

Michaels isn't the best today. He may be a decent in ring wrestler...but he's almost a complete bore on the mic. Unless he's working a parody. As far as a 'sports entertainer' goes...it isn't about the wrestling abilities. The best 'sports entertainer' in the world today would have to be...someone with a lot more charisma. Like Jericho. Or Kurt Angle. People who go out there on the mic and on a consistent basis are entertaining to watch.

I think Shawn could arguably be one of the best to ever step into a ring, and he's still one of the WWE's top superstars, but he's days as number one have come and gone.

Michaels was never the single greatest at anything at any time. True, he was a fantastic performer, and has had more than his fair share of classic matches. However, he's never been able to bring in the fans, which is what a true great should be able to do with ease, and his reputation inside the ring has long been eclipsed by his reputation outside of it.

Think about it. Fans don't boo Steve Austin despite him walking out on the company in '02. They don't boo Hogan, whose stories of backstage pull make Triple H look like Chris Jericho in terms of backstage professionalism. Yet Michaels still can't go to certain places without chants of "You Screwed Bret" echoing throughout the arena. True, this can be attributed more to Bret Hart's endearment than any real shortcoming of HBK, but as listed above, the real greats (and I can't believe I'm listing Hogan as one) have always been able to overcome their negative stigma.

Not to mention that HBK was never a good draw.

That ended up being a swerve where they both beat up I believe Sting.

As far as having a winning record over ALL stars past and present, I don't recall Bret ever locking horns with John Cena, Randy Orton, or Batista. I'm not sure if he's wrestled Eddie Guerrero either.

Nobody was a great draw during shawns best runs...it was the mid 90s...it was a down period...Your going to tell me that people didnt tune in to watch DX in the late 90s?

If you are going to go on sheer popularity, then no, austin, hogan, and rock were better. If you are going to go on the overall package, then I would be inclined to say yes.

Aight so after Bret pulls some injury stunt Sting comes out in red while Bret is being carted off.

NwO black and white beat up the red and black NwO in the back

Bret comes back out and while Sting has Hogan in the Scorpion Dethlock Bret comes in and DDTs him. Then him and Hogan beat him up. Bret puts him int eh sharpshooter and stuff. Konnan comes out and walks around the ring.And Luger pulls Sting out.

And that is the conclusion of the whole Bret/Hogan match from Nitro

Yeah, Vince gets socked, Bret has a stroke and cannot wrestle, and will now be brought back not doing what he WANTS to do, but as a relic of a bygone age. Meanwhile, Michaels is still tearing it up, and even Hulk Hogan's capable of getting in the ring.

Bret sure sounds like a winner here.
