Are some of you watching the same matches that I watch? There is no way John Cena is a better wrestler then Shawn Michaels. In fact in the 4 matches that they have wrestled Shawn has carried he in each match. The only reason John Cena is bigger than Shawn right now and the WWE refuses to take the belt away from him is that Shawn is ending his career and kids under 15 buy into the John Cena hype and BS.
Too answer your question since Shawn has come back in 2002 I don't think he is legacy has been hurt but it hasn't improved much. This is mostly his fault because he doesn't want to be Champion anymore. If he had the belt 2 or 3 more times since his comeback he probably would have built a stronger legacy. He had an amazing fued with Triple H where they probably wrestled every match in the book and his matches with Angle, Flair and Jericho have been great. He probably would have been better staying retired or coming back for a year just to prove he could do it again. Instead of beating these guys like Cena and Orton in none title matches and not being able to beat them for the title.
