Shawn Michaels WrestleMania Matches - Ranked From Worst To Best

17. Vs. Big Boss Man & Akeem - WrestleMania V

The debut of Mr. WrestleMania came as early as WrestleMania V.

At this time Michaels was a member of The Rockers, a high-energy tag team with Marty Jannetty, and at the 5th Mania they took on Big Boss Man and Akeem, known collectively as the Twin Towers. Akeem was previously known as One Man Gang, and I don't think anyone will ever truly understand why this gimmick changed happened, but there we go. 

There isn't much to write home about with this match, but don't let its positioning at the bottom of this particular list fool you; The Rockers were seemingly incapable of putting on a bad match in the 1980s, and what we have here is a nice little Big Team vs. Little Team match. Boss Man in particular was a high quality big man, and Akeem was no slouch either. 

Michaels and Jannetty bumped like lunatics for their larger opposition, with Michaels showing the bumping prowess that would eventually become a trademark of his during his singles run. Akeem would eventually hit Michaels with Air Africa (running splash) to give the big men the win.
