Is Shawn supposed to be a cowboy? or a luchadore, or a degenerate or a born again christian? Just what is it with this guy? His character is as much a mess as that rapping marine.

Once you've been around long enough and have achieve a certain level of popularity, you cease to need a definable gimmick. You become an institution unto yourself. It's the same with Ric Flair - does he have any gimmick beyond saying "Wooo!", really?
Earlier in his career, Shawn's gimmick was being an arrogant, pretty-boy, chick-magnet, tool. Now he's just Shawn Michaels, and that's all he needs to be.

Shawn's gimmick if anything is the guy who kicks everybody's head off... thats what he's been doing weekly from Orton for what? 5 weeks in a row? to the 3 people pretending to be superstars in Kennedy's segment

He is the guy who always brings his A game to the big matches and is pretty much guaranteed to put on a good show.

He's still the same character, but now he's a veteran, older and wiser type who's put his past demons behind him (mostly...).
At least, that's what I make of it.

Shawn's just Shawn. He's transcended wrestling time and space and has arrived in a spot where he needs no gimmick. Aside from kick people left right and center, I'm sure that what we get on tv is pretty much what Shawn is.

I have a better question (one that I have been asking for a V-E-R-Y long time) . . . What in The Authority's name is HHH's gimmick?  ?? |

Heel- The cerebral assassin- he will do anything it takes and hurt as many people as needed to get the Gold. Face- Somewhat of a jokester outside of the ring but when it comes to wrestling it is serious business. |

Why does everybody have to have a character? Why can't he just be a wrestler?

Shawn Michaels's current gimmick is a legendary babyface with hints of being a mega-politician behind the scenes, jsut going by the Kennedy interviews lately
