Shawn Michaels
Shawn Michaels is often called The greatest performer of all time. And rightfully so. I mean, not even Sting could get a decent performance out of Ric Flair in his old age. Yet Shawn Michaels not only got a good performance, but he got a five star performance. That's how brilliant Michaels is.
Michaels was also a member of the Kliq and became responsible for helping the WWF begin the transition into the attitude era. Michaels would also expose all of Pro wrestling being apart of the infamous Curtain Call. He was also a founding member of D-generation X. A group that would rip-off the NWO and frankly, in my opinion, improve upon the NWO.
Michaels would also be in the Montreal Screjob where he'd win his final WWF championship. He'd carry the title all the way to Wrestlemania where he'd drop the championship to Stone Cold Steve Austin kicking the attitude era into full swing.
Shawn Michaels would then retire due to a back injury. He'd come back a few years later in a full time capacity. His second run would feature a sober Shawn Michaels putting on matches that many people agree are the greatest matches of his career. He would then have two losses to Undertaker at Wrestlemania, the second of which would be the end his career.
