Just like the Bret Hart thread, let's see if we can make a list of the top 10 worst Shawn Michaels matches.
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.
One that comes to mind - not really a bad match, but more like completely average (mostly dissapointing) - is his SummerSlam match with Perfect.

Also, his match with Hogan where he purposely oversold like crazy. I mean it's funny, but showed that deep down Shawn can still be an unprofessional dick. Also, I'm sure some of his early AWA matches would qualify. Michaels is naturally gifted so even early on he was pretty good, but not the quality we would later get from Shawn.

Do we call when he drop the European title to HHH a match? Another one that was just ok was in 96 he faced Yokozuna when he was way obese at this point. It was some weird one night only Cornette managed him after he turned face.

Two of his Summerslam matches, 1996 with Vader and 2005 with Hulk Hogan, the petulance shown in both are why I'll never consider him one of the greatest of all time. There is always some excuse for his behavior or as to why he couldn't put someone over but at the end of the day, a great worker goes out there and gives the best possible match and program he can give on the big stage, but Shawn chose to act like s spoiled child instead.

Tatanka at Wrestlemania 9. Slow, plodding and finished with a lame DQ or count out.
I just went through Michaels wikipedia page and had such a hard time finding him in anything bad.

Vs Batista in 2008, Lumberjack match on Raw. I remember Shawn was off really bad that night. Dave was having to do the working it seemed.

I'm not gonna lie, I LOVE that Hogan match at Summerslam. Hogan is basically Captain America right? It makes sense he'd be able to throw Shawn around like a pinball. I wish MORE wrestling was sold in such an over the top way. It's a comic book man. Go big or go home.

Does anyone honestly believe Shawn would have sold Hogan's offense like he did were he the one booked to come out victorious? Please. Shawn threw his toys out of the pram because he came up against someone better at the backstage games than he is. |

Vs. Sid at the Royal Rumble '97. One of the only occurances I can think of where HBK in his prime gets a big, hyped-up major PPV match and it just winds up mediocre and forgettable.
Oh, and Hogan vs. Michaels is a classic that both men should be proud of, as much as smarks with an axe to grind against both men try to convince themselves the old school '80s heel-type selling came from backstage politicing.

Yup exactly. And the whole "I found god I'm a new man" is just bullshit, it's a gimmick. Shawn matured a little after he quit being a junkie, but deep down he's just a spoiled prick. I don't buy the Bret Hart reconciliation neither I think he's totally hypocrite, but that's another subject. As far a really BAD matchs, he had very few, the SOB is gifted  edit: (forgot to quote dysco inferno by the way) |

Michaels tried to play politics with the master. He lost. It was Michaels that acted like a child. Hogan didn't have to job to Michaels, and Vince agreed with that, otherwise it wouldn't have happened the way it did. Michaels didn't get what he wanted and threw a hissy fit. That is the definition of unprofessional. I can't believe there are people out there that still support Shawn on that. |

No. Just no. Hogan is actually my favorite performer in wrestling of all time so I don't exactly fit into your generalization about smarks who dislike the match. HBK turned his selling in the match into a complete joke pure and simple. You can tell Hogan isn't amused by it several times throughout the match just by the expression on his face. Sure, there is a wide variety of different ways people can sell, but to say what HBK did in this match is comparable to the best bumpers of the 1980s is just wrong. |

Hogan beats Shawn at SummerSlam, they have a rematch at Unforgiven. That didn't happen, except for the part where Hogan won of course. |

I recall that HBK got mad because Hogan at the last min back out of the rematch where Michaels was going to get a win over him. So HBK lost his shit and did his brat child ways. Plus Hogan wanted the "97" HBK to begin with. So that what HBK gave him. At less that what HBK tells everyone in the DVDs. As for 97 against Sid, wasn't Michaels sick during that match? But then again as big the build for that match was, did anybody really expect a 5 star classic against Sid? You can count on one hand good Sid matches. |
