WWF Shawn Michaels vs WWE Shawn Michael's

[D.R.H.]

I thought this quote from his book was funny considering we're all pretty much in agreement that the earlier run of his career was better than the later.

"One reason that the second part of my career was better than the first is because of the range and depth of emotions I brought into my job after my comeback. That was a direct result of my faith, which allowed me to tap into real-life emotions like joy, sadness, despair, peace, and conflict over doing right versus wrong, and then bring those into storylines and matches."

He goes on to say that his match with Flair at WM 24 is possibly the greatest pro wrestling match of all time ... LOL

If he's talking about the early part of the comeback before he became goofy uncle Shawn with Trips...then I can see what he's talking about.

Probably his 2000's run. He looked strangely chubby in the 90's.

He lost all that by 95.

 

[Patrick Jane]

He lost all that by 95.

I barely watched any of his matches by then, so it makes sense.

I just think it's funny how he says it's all a result of his faith rather than just maturing and being less of a cocky asshole.

Anyone remember his "tag team" match at Backlash 06 against Vince and Shane which was really just a handicap match because his tag partner was God? Lol, so ridiculous. He was making a mockery of his own faith whether he realized it or not, that's how everyone took it.

It was almost like Vince said lose the chubb and I'll move you into the main event and he did.

HBK vs Razor >>>

- HBK vs Taker was great. I honestly think Michaels come-back better after his yatus.

- The last seconds of that match, the emotion on Michaels face. WM 24 was a great event, great matches. Flair vs Michaels wasnt even the best of that event, but i can unferstand why he said that. Two of the greatest performers ever clashed.

Another funny thing he admits in his book is that his Christian fans and friends had a much harder time understanding that pro wrestling isn't real life and is based on fictional storylines than his non-religious fans and friends. When he was in the feud with Hogan people would come up to him at his Bible study group and get angry with him asking him why he superkicked Hogan, demanding an answer as to what Hogan did to him to deserve that. He was like "I mean ... you know it's not real, right?" Clearly they didn't, he admits.

 

[PRIDEWASBETTER]

Not even his best WM match

1. Razor
2. Taker 25
3. Angle

Were all way better

Flair match was really good though

Vs Jericho at XIX was really good, too

 

[The Good The Bad The HBK]

Vs Jericho at XIX was really good, too

Not really a fan of any of the HBK vs Jericho matches but I do think wm 19 was the best match they had.
