Shawn Michaels doesn't deserve place in Hall of Fame??

[IrishCanadian25]

But why should we give him a place in the hall when he is a known backstabber, brown noser and thinks that he is better then everyone else. The people who get the most respect are those that fight all the way from the start and to the end. If he would dress with the others if he was champion then maybe.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you...Reggie Jackson.

Reggie was initially disliked by his teammates and manager - Billy Martin and Thurman Munson. He showed up in New York with a massive ego having seen success with Oakland, and he didn't do much to lay that ego down. He once angered Billy Martin - his manager, mind you - so much by claiming that Martin's "heavy drinking impaired his judgement" on Reggie running to field a bloop single, that hot-headed Martin lunged at the younger and more athletic Reggie.

What's my point here? Reggie Jackson was a jerk, a poor teammate, an insubordinate employee. He also performed at his best in the biggest situations (World Series) and is in the Baseball Hall of Fame.

And he's not a great guy.

So why should Shawn Michaels, a guy who stuck by Vince McMahon and the WWF when the Hogans, Savages, Halls, Nashes, and Harts jumped ship to WCW, and who performed his best magic in big spots at Wrestlemanias, not be in the Hall of Fame?

The "he's a brown nosing jerk" isn't a good enough answer. It's a shit answer, in fact. Lots of all-time greats and Hall of Famers were jerks - but that doesn't take away from what they did in their trade to earn them this honor.

I can't believe this is the first time I am posting in this thread.

 

[Uncle Sam]

I can't believe this is the first time I am posting in this thread.

I can. It's because the answer is obvious, simple and - from pretty much every angle - correct. Shawn Michaels does deserve to be in the Hall of Fame.

Maybe he's not as good as Bret Hart, or Hulk Hogan, or even Batista. There is no denying that he has not been a highly prominent figure in the world of professional wrestling. By the very loose definition of what makes a legend in the wrestling business, Shawn Michaels falls in that category, unquestionably. He is safely in that category. Very, very safely. Definitely, by the WWE's own, even looser definition.

Then there's how low the HoF actually goes when choosing inductees. Now, I'm not one to pay a whole lot of attention, but is not Pete fucking Rose in the Hall of Fame? And you're saying that Shawn Michaels, a man who is pretty much a household name and one of the most famous performers in the history of not only World Wrestling Entertainment but in modern professional wrestling, does not deserve to be in that same Hall of Fame?

I rest my case.

I'm just glad this is being debated because HBK seems to have the support of fans everywhere except for us hardcore wrestling fans that know about everything. By everything I means stuff like: leveraging jumping to WCW so Vince would give him what he wants, and pretending he didn't know about the screw job, and by telling Hebner to get Bret Hart out of "his" ring after the iron man match at WM12, or simply being high as balls for years on drugs while other guys just stuggled to keep their jobs and feed their families. HBK is a legend, a great WWE performer and deserves it but I'm impressed by how many people haven't drank all his kool-aid.

This thread title is named "Shawn doesn't describe his place in the HOF", but this is the worst thing I've seen here. Well I use the term worst lightly, as this made me laugh so much.

By everything I means stuff like: leveraging jumping to WCW so Vince would give him what he wants,

If Vince will do so much to get Shawn to stay, doesn't that prove how valuable he was?

and pretending he didn't know about the screw job,

Shawn was doing exactly what Vince told him to do.

nd by telling Hebner to get Bret Hart out of "his" ring after the iron man match at WM12,

Ever heard of playing a character? Shawn and Bret had an amazing feud, this is nothing. And much the same happens nowadays. So why should Shawn be bad-mouthed for it now?

or simply being high as balls for years on drugs while other guys just stuggled to keep their jobs and feed their families.

He has addicted to painkillers, something he has openly admitted. But you be in the pain he was, and tell me you wouldn't do the same. He took 4 years out to make himself better, I think he's made up for it.

Wow...If that doesn't make somebody sound like a "smarky douche", nothing will.

By everything I means stuff like: leveraging jumping to WCW so Vince would give him what he wants

That's just smart business... He was obviously seen by brass as having something to bring to the table, so he used it to his advantage. Just plain, smart business... Anybody in here would HAVE To agree with that, whether they're a fan or not...

and pretending he didn't know about the screw job

Again...SMART FOR BUSINESS! Would YOU admit to being apart of the biggest screw job in wrestling history? Common sense should have answered this one for you, but I'm noticing more and more that common sense is rare in here...

or simply being high as balls for years on drugs while other guys just stuggled to keep their jobs and feed their families. HBK is a legend, a great WWE performer and deserves it but I'm impressed by how many people haven't drank all his kool-aid.

Totally irrelevant to the debate. Has NOTHING to do with being eligible for the hall of fame or anything "talent or skill" related. Just ANOTHER attempt at bashing Shawn...

NEXT???

 

[thepoo62]

You two are completely correct. Thanks for putting me in my place. If you notice before hand in this thread I clearly state that HBK is 100% deserving of of the HOF and should be considered as an icon forever. He's litteraly great at being a WWE performer. On a personal level, he has been kind of a dick a long time ago. What I was saying above is that I'm impressed that there are people in this community that actually still critisize him and we aren't all completely obsessed with him. Well... I guess some of us are apparently...

 

[realblackhart]

This question shouldn't even be asked. There is no discussion, no doubt about it that Shawn Michaels after his Intercontinental reigns, European Champion reigns, Tag Champ reign, World Champ reigns, and now a slammy (lol), and everything he has done in the WWF/E is Hall of Fame worthy. I'll be the first to admit how much I've hated Shawn Michaels especially after the Montreal Screwjob. He has an ego like Hogans and had problems putting others over. His attitude during the Screwjob sittuation and his behavior in the locker room during those years sucked. Even after Shawn changed his ways he agreed to the Vince Mcmahon vs God storyline. I don't want to make this an anti-anything thread related to religion but if Shawn had indeed changed his ways he would not have agreed to do the storyline. If you are an Atheist then you probably could care less but if you care at all about that and beleived in Shawn's changing his ways than that might have made you take a step back. Of course you could say it's just and only a storyline but I wasn't fond of it.

But as much as I detest Shawn for his arrogant and ridiculous behavior throughout the years I have to say that HBK is deserving of being in the WWE Hall of Fame. His failure of passing the torch (other than to Hunter) and putting other guys over will go unnoticed in the end. What will be remembered is his charasma, will be Shawn throwing Jannety through the Barbershop window marking the begining of his singles career, will be Shawn's ladder matches with Razor Ramon, will be Shawn's dive during Wrestlemania and beating Brett during the Iron Man Match, will be Shawn being a part of DX, will be Shawn retiring Ric Flair among other things. His title reigns alone and his ability to appeal to the WWE fans will earn him a spot in the WWE Hall of Fame.

 

[Shocky]

Come on, is this really a question. I think anyone that says no is simply doing it to try and either get attentino, or doing it for shits and giggles.

On a universal front, from the fans, the WWE, and the writers, this guy gets in on his first year of "eligibility" whatever the hell that is, without a doubt.

HBK has done everything in the WWE. He has won every title that was available for him to win at the time. He was the first man to win the Grand Slam of WWF titles, (WWF Title, IC title, Tag and Euro). He took a four year hiatus, and returned to win a World championship. The man has main evented four Wrestlemanias, a huge accomplishment in itself. He was one of the main reasons the Ladder match, Hell in the Cell, and the Elimination Chambers have all been succesful. HBK gets put into matches and raises the bar for everyone that follows him. And those are simply put, his WWE achievements.

You go into the next realm of this discussion, the critics, IE, the writers, and this is about as much of a lock as you can get. Smarks love HBK. Hell, the PWI staff can't keep their lips off of his ass long enough to watch a non HBK match to determine if there was anything in consideration for match of the year besides a match with HBK in it. The guy has won universal acclaim from almost every type of independent wrestling fish wrap out there.

The third would be the fans, which would be his weakest area. History shows that HBK doesn't draw as a main eventer. It's fact. HBK was the lowest rated champino in the history of Raw, that is also fact. However, there is something to be said of a man that can main event four Wrestlemania's without hesitation from the boss. HBK's personal issues are just that, personal. While he has done plenty of things that tarnish his character, were any of those things truly harmful to the business for the long term. Most would point to the screwjob, but that was something that was asked of him, and that the WWE itself would never hold against him

Shawn Michaels is most certainly a Hall of Famer. If he's not in the Hall of Fame, then they should simply get rid of it. The bigger question that should be asked, is Shawn Michaels a Main eventer, or a career upper mid card guy. I choose the latter.

 

[hoffman40]

This is ridiculous! If it wasn't for HBK there would never have been that wiggle room for a guy like Steve Austin or The Rock to truly let loose on the microphone and become the superstars they became. That whole "Attitude Era" in the WWE, Yeah, that was Shawn Michaels. Matter of fact, if Shawn Michaels didn't carry the company the way he did from 96-98, WWE would be in the ground! We'd have no Triple H, no Rock, no Austin. Sure, Steve Austin was fun to watch during that timeframe, Sure The Rock was fun to listen to during that timeframe, but the man having the best matches and finding new ways to keep the WWE relevant was HBK. A lot of people are quick to judge on this topic due to the ratings being in WCW's favor a majority of the time HBK was the guy. But look at what he went up against. The Ted Turner funded, Eric Bischoff directed, Hulk Hogan led NWO which was completely new to wrestling.

The quote that HBK has only had one good match since his return in 03 with Jericho at WM19 is laughable at best. WWE could do an entire DVD set on some HBK's great matches after the return. In addition to the Jericho WM19 match (which is on of the best matches in Mania history), the Kurt Angle series was nothing short of excellent, The John Cena championship match on Raw was legendary, the Shelton Benjamin match was honestly one of the best matches on Raw that year, the Ric Flair retirement match was better than expected, and the recent Jericho series has done something that is almost unheard of today in the fact that it kept the fan interested for 7-9 months! Throw in a DX reunion, a better than expected WM match with Vince, and an awesome Triple threat with Edge and Orton.

Shawn Michaels IS the Hall of Fame and the idea of him deserving his spot should be clear to everyone.

 

[BeansOnToastUK]

HBK Should easily be in the Hall of Fame. In response to realblackhart i take offense that he feels HBK never puts anyone over. When was Shawn last champ? 2002!! He has been in over 20 main events for the belt and he has never once won again because all he does now is put people over in matches. This man should be respected for the sacrifices he has made in this industry and his attitude to the business and it's fans. Sure he was young and arrogant and he has paid the price for that with injuries and the way other wrestlers treated him when he came back but the fact of the matter is, he came back, he adapted his style so he didn't injure himself and he is as good as he has ever been.

Think of it like Undertaker. Undertaker has adapted his wrestling style due to age and ability and for this he has kept original and entertaining. Same as HBK.

HBK and Undertaker for the Hall of Fame within the next 5 years !!!

 

[Dragonslayer]

This question doesn't even need to be asked, I completely agree with the bigger consensus here - HBK is a lock for the HOF, and rightly so. When I grew up, HBK was basically just starting out, doing his cocky heel persona after the split from Janetty... and as a kid, of course I hated him. During his "heyday" in the Attitude era, before his big back injury, I wasn't watching WWE too much, but if one thing can be said - even though HBK did not draw as much as champions before or after him had, he still managed to carry a struggling company through a very tough time, and he deserves a lot of credit for that.

I don't think people should blame HBK for NOT beating WCW and making WWE #1 again like Austin and Rock with their respect programs managed to a little bit later - but instead we should consider that HBK was given the ball to run with in basically the worst year for WWE, when WCW had its strongest and best program, a lot of renowned superstars who had jumped ship from WWE, and the greatest stable storyline to that date in American wrestling with the nWo. WCW just was the thing at the time, and I don't think you can put the blame on the champion alone that in that environment, HBK couldn't turn the tide by himself. Some time later, WWE had built up guys like Stone Cold, The Rock and HHH, and things would turn around again.

Of course, SCSA's character and feud with McMahon were a godsent gift to Vinnie Mac, but at that time, WCW was already losing ground on their own as well. So while Austin deserves credit for what he managed, I don't think HBK should get heat because he didn't manage it. I daresay that in that particular situation, hardly anyone would have been able to turn the tide from WCW back to WWE. HBK at least has always been a very reliable asset in the WWE roster, someone WWE could always fall back on if need be and who they knew would deliver - no matter what they put before him. Sure, other people were being pushed harder as "the next big thing" - and more often than once - but as we all know many of those quit before their time. HBK has been around for a long time, and whenever he was around and not out with injury, he was there to deliver. Maybe never to be the top guy. But always someone WWE could rely on if there was no other option at hand. Maybe he wasn't the most successful/best drawing champ - but there can't always be "good times". What is remarkable is that he helped WWE survive especially the bad years.

Personally, I was always pro-Bret Hart on the Screwjob (simply because it just is an absolute no-go... of course Vince's position is understandible, but well... I will not get into that), so I didn't like HBK playing the part one bit. Also, I am not too high on HBK as far as his attitude is concerned; but I believe he has changed that for real as far as we can know in the past couple of years. But no matter whether some of his actions could be considered "unprofessional" (and so could also actions by a certain Mr Bollea or Mr Hart respectively, and both are in the HOF), his accomplishments over the years definitely speak for themselves - and for HBK in the Hall of Fame. No one can expect any person to always do the right thing, to always act correctly, to always display integrity; everyone makes mistakes in their lives. So for those reasons alone, I think hardly anyone should be denied a HOF entry if their other achievements would vindicate one - and HBK has a long list of such achievements. Many memorable moments, feuds and great matches; he's the longest-serving active WWE star next to the Undertaker as far as I know, and definitely entertained his fans throughout the years. So whether you like HBK on a personal basis or not is really not a matter in this debate - HBK just did too much for WWE during his tenure, even if he was never (or seldom) "the" leading man.

So, without a shadow of a doubt, HBK for Hall of Fame.

 

[BDennis69]

well if HBK doesnt deserve to be in the hall of fame, then triple H doesnt either,you talk about how HBK's ego wouldnt let him put anyone over what about HHH he marrys into the mcmahon family, he had himself carry the title for like 8 months this year, he is going to have himself break Ric Flairs title reigns which is bullshit, and when he carried the company the Monday Night Wars were over so he didnt have to carry shit.

 

[Jane]

I didn't even read the other posts. I hardly even had to read the first post in the thread. All I have to say is that YES, Shawn Micheals deserves his place in the Hall of Fame. If announcers and promoters can make it in, the Heart Break Kid needs to be. Big deal if he didn't put on 5 star matches with Hart or lead the WWE through the Attitude Era. That doesn't change who he is and what he's done. He wasn't as amazing when he came back from his injury, but he was still pretty damn awesome for such a recovery. Since then he has had tons of great fueds and without Shawn Micheals, the Hall of Fame just won't be complete. I would put him in just for his fued with Chris Jericho this year, based on the wrestling and the emotion involved. So, yes, Shawn Micheals should and will be in the Hall of Fame. It's where he belongs.

 

[JH27]

Shawn does deserve his place, he is a great performer and awesome on the mic.

As for the whole raitings thing Nothing could have taken eyes off the NWO at the start. end of

 

[wolvdog316]

Nah, I just realized he was holding down the Main Event. Once again, notice, as soon as Shawn left. Ratings arose.

Yes you are 100000% correct. Its Shawns fault the WWE introduced the Rock as a horrible pansy babyface who wore blue ribbons.

Its Shawns fault the WWE used Austin has a Ringmaster, Million Dollar Mans biotch that fueded with Savi Vega.

Point is, he never had the chance to go against those guys until frankly it was too late.

What ISN'T Shawns fault is he had the PERFECT fued going. With Vader. They had a really good match. And blam, just like that it was gone. No 2nd match, no nothing. Flair and Vader had a real good fued, and these could have done it also.

Shawns opponets, and this is by memory, were Brittish Bulldog, Sid, Hart, Kevin Nash, Mankind, Austin. Those are the ones I remember the most. Sid, Nash have NEVER be known to have great matches. Not even good. Shawn has a very good NO DQ match? Can't remember. Against Diesel. Very good match. Had great matches with Hart, and had a fantastic match against Mankind. He could work with anybody.

Also got to remember, Hogan just a few years earlier, wasn't drawing shit either. The wrestling fans were TIRED of goody good faces. And Shawn was the poster boy for that. Clean cut, handsome, did the right thing, blah. He was boring as a character at times. Who hasn't been in their career. But, no one man can draw on their own. Even Hogan and Austin had great fueds with great wrestlers.

The best ratings # were from Austin and Taker. Now I'm not saying Shawn is like Austin, cause of course Austin out drew him, but Shawn was no slouch. When DX rolled around, the numbers started to slowly go up. Then you add in another stable in the Hart foundation, a touch of Rocky, a bit of Austin and you get higher ratings.

Remeber, the biggest draw ever, Hogan didn't draw SHIT in WCW until nWo. Sometimes, its not about the wrestler, its the gimmick.

Is Shawn the biggest draw ever? No. Is he a top draw? Debateble.

But is he HOF? Of course he is. And to say he isn't well your just tryin to get a rise out of everybody. Nobody in their right mind can sit here and say HBKs title run was worse than the Giants who fueded with Big Boss Man cause he drug Big Shows Dads coffin around a cementary. Nor Hogans 2nd to last run when he didn't do jack but get destroyed by Yokozuna because he wasn't drawing crap. Or CM Punks run when he jobbed to everyone in sight and made to look bad.

Or Harts first run? Or maybe his second when his challengers were Skinner, Hiroshi? can't remember his name dude with all the funny tats, the One eye'd Pirate guy, Issac Yankem DDS.

When Austin was at the top they fed him top notch guys. Rock, HHH, Taker, Shawn. Shawn, except for Hart, never had the bonafide star to fued with. By the time Austin came along fully, it was too late. Shawn didn't start fueding with an over taker til AFTER he dropped the belt.

And lets not forget Royal Rumble. His finish with Bulldog. Fantastic Rumble for him. Hell in the Cell. Awesome match with Taker. Ladder match with Hall, both of them were great. His match with Mankind at Mind Games. His war with Hart at WM12.

Then way before that his battles as part of the Rockers. Against Brain Busters, Demolition. Even then he could carry people into having good matches.

Was he an asshole? Yes he was. Was he a prick, sure. Self centered you bet. But when he stepped foot in the ring he did things only a select few could do. And he has been with WWE the entire time once he got called up.

Is he HOF? Of course he is.

 

[truk24]

Have you people gone insane, seriously? He carried the WWE at a time when the ratings were at an all time low? Are you even aware at what he was up against? Do you all not remember who was wrestling when HBK was just beginning to peak. I just got done aruing with someone whom suggested that it was VKM that gives everyone their characters, if that is the case how do you blame HBK for holding anyone back. If anything I would blame VKM, the man with you know all the CREATIVE CONTROL OF THE FREAKING COMPANY!

Tons of talent was leaving for WCW, and if you think that wasn't true look at what happens from 94-96. WCW was growing, and it was off the talent of the WWf at the time. There was nothing a guy like HBK could that most of the talent was leaving WCW, or leaving ECW for WCW. Some of the best wrestlers in the world were not in the WWF when HBK was at the peak of his career. Names like Flair, Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, Angle, The Rock, Mysterio, Pillman, Edge, etc.. and so many others. HBK unfortunately had to wrestle the likes of Vader, Sid Vicious, Tatanka, and many other not so great talent.

What made them great or seem great was the fact that HBK was able to make you look better in the ring always. Yes, he also had his fair share of classics as well. Razor Ramon, Diesel, Angle, Benoit, Cena, but most of the matches that we remember are late in his career. To sit here and suggest that HBK has had only one memorable match is rightfully your opinion, but just a ridiculous thing to say in a forum like this. What is with you people?

You mean to tell me that HBK's match with Taker in a HIAC wasn't a match to remember? HBK was the FIRST PERSON TO EVER DRAW BLOOD FROM THE UNDERTAKER. That feud was one of the best the WWE had to offer when it happened. Not to mention that match itself took years off of HBK's career, and he did it anyhow. Why? Because he is the best of all time bottom line. Let your nuts drop for christ sake, and grow some balls cuz your argument is ass.

 

[Doberden17]

If you say HBK should not some day be in the hall of fame, then you are saying HHH shouldnt be in either. HBK and HHH both played the back stage politics game and still do in my opinion. Especially HHH now a days. Today I think HBK plays the game to an extent but he does have his new found faith which would conflict with alot of what he use to do. I thoroughly believe HBK should be in the hall of fame. HHH too. Other guys have refused to put people over as well. In fact Im sure Bret Hart didnt like to put guys over. Neither did Nash.

Look at HBK's match with Scott Hall at WMX. Look at his hell in the cell matches or all of his matches with Y2J. I think HBK is hall of fame bound. A more interesting question would be, who thinks HHH, Hall, Nash or any other Kliq members should or should not be in the Hall of fame? HHH for obvious reasons, Hall (first four time IC champ, pioneer of NWO) Nash (i guess just a giant killer who knows).

 

[timmy872]

I'm sorry, why does this thread even exist! haha. I mean Shawn Michaels is inspirational to so many; Hardys, Morrison, Paul London, Lance Cade to mention just a few. He created the greatest faction in WWF history, DX. Why would anyone question Shawn Michaels going into the Hall of Fame. He deserves it, he is perhaps one of the most deserving HOF'er in history.

 

[#1SweetChinMusicHBK]

This is the most ridiculous statement i have ever heard. Shawn is the best wrestler to ever step foot in the ring. What would the wwf/wwe be if shawn was not there in 1996 and 1997? i tell u where it would be, WCW 24/7 on demand cause WCW would have buried Vince and the WWF. Shawn was the only reason worth watching the WWF in those days because his co-workers were horrible at best. The guy made Vader and Mankind look as if they were real threats. No1 has the talent Shawn has. No1 ever will again.

If Shawn Michaels doesn't deserve a hall of fame spot than honestly nobody does. Shawn is untouchable as a wrestler and a draw to the crowd. Yes, maybe shawn was not one of the best people to work with during the late 90s but u cannot deny his greatness. The guy has accomplished everything there is to accomplish in the WWF/WWE and then some. No1 has had more memorable matches than good ol HBK. To quote Jim Ross "That Showstopper thing is not just a nice T-Shirt, He is the main event. You, sir are not a true wrestling fan if u cannot see the greatness that is HBK.

By the way this is the dumbest thread i have ever read. Congrats

 

[My$terio_Fan]

Ummm Milk is obviously trying to get discussion, which he;s doing so I think he can stay.

As for the question "Does he deserve a place"? Well of course he does. He has done a lot more than some of the people already in it. He is one of the most popular wrestlers ever and one of the best in the ring. Although he has peaked, he still is getting reactions from the fans and still entertaining them so you really cannot call him out for that.

He has been a top star, and while he may have been on top during a low phase, it seems to me so was Bret Hart? He's in the hall of fame so there would be no reason not to put him in. HBK has done so much in his career and has accomplished so much while still putting on great matches. Politics aside there is no denying HBK isn't(or was)a great entertainer and hell would have to freeze over for him not to go into the hall of fame.

 

[GameOver]

You are ******ed.

Bobby Lashley squashing someone just made him look somewhat doiinating it didn't help the other person at all. Shawn Michaels can make anyone else look good in adittion to putting on an awesome match almost everytime. Thats what was said not he can make himself look good.

He is top 5 most talented "wrestlers" in the history of the WWF/E period. for a guy who lacked the size he went above and beyond, even outshining the mighty Bret Hart at the time, and to say he's had maybe one good match since WrestleMania 19 you can't really be that blind or maybe you just really hate him.

HBK was also first inline to put his body on the line to debut most of the new extreme match types on a PPV or TV Taping. Thats something not alot of others would do.

No point even arguing this you have your right to an opnion no matter how stupid it is.

 

[notorious102]

HBK does deserve his spot in the Hall of Fame but ........

He also deserves his spot in the Hall of Shame for all the bad thing he has done in his career. I think he has been one of the most shadiest wrestlers of all time.

 

[thewrestlinghero]

shawn micheal dose to deserverd to be in the hall of fame for his acoplishment alone and remeber he revlutioniz the ladder match he was the man that retired ric flair is one of the 3 people that one the rumble 3 times and almost everymatch the man is in he make the guy look better then he already was

 

[PG era is the best]

I think HBK does

Austin and the rock are a other story I mean look at the Attuide era these two almost kill the WWE title

 

[rko2010]

ok I'm new here so I don't know if this has been posted but here's a list of great matches HBK has been in since his return...

Summerslam 2002 Hbk v HHH maybe i am biased because i just started watching WWE in 2002 but that match was amazing after 4 years off
Survivor Series 2002 Elimination Chamber I know five other guys were in the match but it was all about HBK that night
WM 19 HBK v Jericho
Raw to end 2003 HBK v HHH might be forgotten by many but it was a hell of a match
Summerslam 2005 HBK v Hogan (talk about a guy who won't put ppl over)
WM 20 HBK v HHH v Benoit
WM 21 HBK v Angle
Raw a couple weeks after WM 23 HBK v Cena
WM 24 HBK v Flair
No Mercy 2008 HBK v Jericho Ladder Match

plus i'll add in HBK v Mysterio on the Guerrero tribute Raw...taking the whole night into account that was an impressive outing also any potential match he has with Undertaker just based on the finish to the 2007 rumble. Seriously though how can he not be in the Hall of Fame...he has done it all and beaten almost all the greats through recent history and I agree most of what I've seen of Brett Hart was boring.
