The Brett 'The Hit Man' Hart and Shawn Michaels matches were my favourites.
There really was some bad blood between them....

Absolutely - and Brett movie aside - I saw them wrestle for at least 25-30 minutes. They were all over the ring and outside. It really was amazing. I mean real wresting holds and shit as well as the usual stuff. People went nuts. Oh, and it was the last time I saw Andre. He did not look healthy and really did not wrestle. He did go over the top rope but only kinda grabbed the guys as the went by him - no real ring stuff. He died shortly after.

Shawn Michaels is the worst thing that ever happened to the entire Heart Foundation. Best the is, best there was, and the best there ever will be? Bret Heart has a permanent foot print on his head from HBK.

Shawn Michaels was an immature prima donna who disrespected the business with his selfish behavior. He didn't want to do the job and drop the belt, even though it had been done for him. He was a big mouth, who when push came to shove would run away like a little girl.

My favorites are Heenan, Flair, and Mr. Perfect. Not Shawn Michaels. But HBK sets the bar higher and higher everytime he enters the ring. He's such a great athlete. There's still a Undertaker/HBK fued on the back burner. I'd bet if anyone is gonna beat the Undertaker at Wrestlemania? It's gonna be Shawn Michaels. For the fans. Hell in the cell II. Michaels vs. The Undertaker. It's gonna happen.

I figured with family connection's,and the fact your posting on a bodybuilding board.which means you might have some size.you could have threw your hat in the ring.

Well I got my hight from my mom, she is 5'1 My dad is 6'2 I am only 5'7 or so. I do have a good bit of size just no hight.

Right now I'm watching Pat Paterson VS Ted DIbiase prior to the Million Dollar man gimmick from 1979 good match.

Maybe the greatest manager of all time. He even managed my old man for a while

Seriously, unbelievable talent as a manager. I hated him as a kid, so you know he was doing his job.

Yeah he was one of the few heels that would still work the crowd. Great on the mic too.

My family is very close with him. He is a great historian for the business. He has lots of great stories when he is at my parents I always try to be there cause I know I will be entertained.
