While I'm not going to agree wholeheartdely, I will agree in part. Bret and Austin had fantastic chemistry - both had better chemistry with each other than they did with Shawn. WM13 was magic, plain and simple. Best non-HBK match of all time, IMO.

But the fact that I have to say "best non-HBK match" is why HBK is on a level by himself. HBK brought the best out of nearly everyone he was paired with. He made Taker look like gold (not hard to do) and dragged a very good match out of Hogan when Hogan could barely move (very tough to do). Hell, he told a fascinating story with Vince at WM24, and made a 5* classic with Shelton Benjamin on an episode of RAW.

While some pairings will have amazing chemistry (like Bret and Austin), there will never be someone as good as Shawn in terms of making the absolute best out of nearly each and every person he faces. The thing that is most amazing is that over the past 2 or 3 years we've all come to expect Shawn to be the best, and he still delivered up to his very last match. I never once was left disappointed by a Shawn Michaels match - that is why he is the greatest of all time. Period.
