Bret's match looked more real to me, he was more like a wrestler Shawn is an hell of an entertainer, even thought he is boring as hell as a face!! (Best heel ever, thought) And screw any explanation, I'm canadian, so Bret all the way!!

Definitely HBK. Bret ushered in the era of FIVE MOVES OF DOOM!!!!! per wrestler, and had a fairly boring character until he started his "I Hate America!" gimmick and started calling everyone Hyenas. HBK was one of my favorites ever until "New DX", where he began to rapidly morph into X-Pac... Hopefully with HHH on the sideline, HBK will be HBK again, even if he's still a face.

HBK was more charasmatic. Bret was just like a plank of wood at times with pink glasses

I enjoyed them both equally in their primes. It's apples and oranges, really. It's like asking if you prefer Finlay or Rey Mysterio. Two completely different wrestling styles, but both styles are really enjoyable to watch.

Just thinking back to some late 80's Hart Foundation promos, Bret was just as immature as Shawn, a real wiseass. Talk about a 180 for the face fun.

Really, I don't remember that, I have lots of house show and PPV matches/interviews with them and Bret didn't come across that way at all, usually he'd be the calm one, then Anvil would go into a rage and at the end of the interview Bret would have to hold Anvil back as he was fit to be tied just thinking about his opponents on that particular night.

I posted a couple in a thread a couple of weeks back, they only went for about maybe a minute tops. It was just the cocky attitude was so much like Shawn, but it fit Bret's character well.

I always cheered for Hart over Shawn, though they're both great.

I loved the hell out of both of them back in the day. But I've always been a true Michaels mark. I hate to choose but it's going to have to be HBK.

I liked Hart better. He was flawless with the fundamentals, whereas I felt HBK was always a step behind. Plus, Michaels was never a believable champion to me on any level. I can't put a finger on it, but I think it is IT that he lacks.

HBK. He just brings that extra something to his matches that take'em from regular, good matches to wonderful spectacles. Hart and Undertaker could probably have a good HIAC match, but it took a guy like Michaels to really get it in that 5 star range. Hart I respect, but even his best matches always seem to be missing something for me personally

HBK all the way. Just as good if not a better wrestler than Hart, much better on the mic too. He tarnished his legacy with his problems in the 90's but he's come back as good as new and is a genuinely changed man (for the better). I've enjoyed Shawn since his rocker days and think he is truly one of the greatest ever in the WWF/E.
