Strike Force does not have that much rep yet (10+)
I gotta go Hart. The body of work against him when it was rockers/hart foundation and also they had some great matches for the ic title, even an amazing ladder match for the ic title that not many people have seen, plus their fued for the wwe title. These past 2 matches against Taker have been great, plus the hell in a cell and casket match, but i still gotta go Hart.

If you look at all of Shawn Mcichaels opponents he doesn't have one other foe that put on more quality matches with. The only one that comes close it is The Undertaker:

Wrestlemania 25
Wrestlemania 26
Hell in a Cell
Casket Match
Over the Edge

The rest of the people on that list only have one or two worthy matches with Shawn.

Bret Hart: Was only Survivor Series 1992 & Wrestlemania XII. Survivor Series 1997 wasn't all that good.

Chris Jericho: He has a few. The three from 2008, Wrestlemania XIX and maybe one or two others in 2003, but none all that memorable.

Foley: Just Mind Games comes to mind (no pun intended)

Diesel: Just Wrestlemania XI comes to mind.

Razor Ramon: The two ladder matches were great, but outside of that not much else.

Kurt Angle: Their trilogy in 2005 was great but each match got progressivly worse.

Stone Cold: Only Wrestlemania XIV and King of the Ring 1997 comes to mind.

Other quality opponents:

Chris Benoit: The triple threat matches in 2004 and the 1 on 1 match.

Ric Flair: Only one quality match Wrestlemaina XXIV

Edge: Just Royal Rumble 2005

Kane: Unforgiven 2004

John Cena: Wrestlemania 23 and their match in England


In conclusion Shawn Michaels has put on more great matches than anyone in the history of the buisness.
So what you're saying is, any great match Shawn may have had with these other names on Raw or Smackdown doesn't count because it wasn't on ppv?

Shawn's great opponent and rival was Bret Hart. Yes - he didn't have as many matches against Hart as he did with HHH, Taker, etc., but HBK's rivalry with Hart was when BOTH men were in their primes. Add to that - their real life hatred, their main-event at Wrestlemania, and so many other elements, and Bret Hart is the clear #1 consensus.

HBK's greatest rivals in my opinion:

1) Bret Hart
2) Triple H
3) Chris Jericho
3T) Undertaker
5) Stone Cold Steve Austin

Honorable Mention: Kurt Angle

I agree with Heyman.

You can have a great match with someone but does that make them a great opponent. The story behind it has as much to do with it in my opinion, and how well it's sold.

One thing I noticed is that when you think Shawn Michaels, the first wrestling name associated with that in most people's minds would be Bret Hart. Perhaps that says the answer to this question right there? It's the same thing with The Rock and Stone Cold.
