Which Shawn Michaels did you prefer? 1984-1998 or 2002-2010

Damn good question. I, like Soccer Legs, only really know him from 2002-2010. But I've seen a lot of his past interviews and matches and such.

Personally, I curse a lot, I'm all for it, and there were a few years before PG where he could have been edgier, but it doesn't really matter. HBK was still just as good with his language toned down. Always was interested in his promos. Still was able to be funny. "I just kicked Stan" was a funny moment to me.

Anyway, without knowing much of his work in the past, I think his attitude made this run better. He headlined 3 Wrestlemanias since his return, and almost every single one of his Wrestlemania matches in his return were worthy of being the actual main event...win or lose. He didn't bitch about jobbing, he just put on the best match he could. Don't know if he always did that pre 2002.
