10 Wrestlers Labelled "The Next Shawn Michaels"

10. Dolph Ziggler

It's 2016, and Ziggler is still diligently playing the role of a hard-luck mid-carder who can never quite grasp the brass ring (in fact, if recent weeks are anything to go by, he's struggling to get his hands on the steel ring).

No longer a young upstart, it's probably safe to say that he isn't going to match Shawn Michaels in terms of accolades, but that doesn't mean those early comparisons were totally wide of the mark.

Like HBK, Ziggler is a slick performer between the ropes, with selling ability unlike anyone else on the roster. He's not exactly short of charisma either, and it's only the absence of opportunity that has prevented him from reaching the same heights as others on this list.
