Key Moments in Shawn Michaels's career

[M Dogg™]

I was going to do a poll, but how can you possibly rank these. Shawn Michaels is that rare wrestler that I have had the privilege to follow his complete career, and not have his career cut short with injury or sadly death. When he was coming up I saw it all, from the AWA on ESPN (Tuesday nights if I remember correctly) to the WWF to the WWE.

those were all huge moments. When i first saw him with the rockers it was amazing how much more he stood out then marty

Okay, when he lost the ladder match to Razor Ramon, he'd win back the IC title eventually, then lose it again and so on. But the next truly great moment was Wrestlemania 12.

so what happened when the rockers won the titles?

["THE" MoSav]

that  hbk bulldog match was great. I loved HBK as a heel back then, wow he was incredible in the ring how he sold everything...

["THE" MoSav]

sucks HBK had to leave after that match at wm 14. HBK vs Austin could have been a feud that lasted longer, that would have been great!

[M Dogg™]

so what happened when the rockers won the titles?

It was never acknowledged and then when they showed highlights, they claimed that the top rope broke therefore it never counted. In actuality Jim Neinhart was fired, but when the WWF and Neinhart came to an agreement they put the titles back on the Hart Foundation and just never aired the Rockers/Hart Foundation match which was suppose to be on Saturday Night's Main Event.

Shawn Michaels comes back after a 4 year absents from back injury. Since we last see him, he was general manager of the WWF, then he came so intoxicated that Triple H himself snitched him off and Shawn didn't even communicate with his best friend. Then he became a born again Christian, opened a wrestling school that produced Bryan Danielson, Lance Cade and Paul London and Brian Kendricks. He came back to have one more run.

First Wrestlemania back.

All and all, not a bad career. All videos of him verse the Undertaker are off line.
