Shawn Michaels' 10 Greatest WWE Moments
10. The Heartbreak Kid Is Born
The most famous Barber Shop segment of all time?
It's certainly up there, as this was the moment that set Shawn Michaels' career skyrocketing. After developing the tag team scene to new levels of athleticism as one half of The Rockers, Shawn was set to realise his potential as an industry-altering singles star.
As the window of the Barber Shop set shattered over the prone body of Marty Jannetty, Michaels began his transformation into the heel 'Heartbreak Kid' character, bringing out the arrogant showoff persona that would mirror his off-screen antics in the years to come.
The fortunes of both men would result in generations of tag teams being critiqued over who was the 'Michaels' and who was the 'Jannetty' of the duo. This was the Superkick that set a Hall Of Fame career in motion; the moment when HBK would take the ball right to the top of the company. It was a breakup done when the iron was at its hottest and is still one of the prime examples of WWE pulling the trigger at the perfect time.
The Rockers were a great team, but The Heartbreak Kid became the GOAT.
