20 More WWE Stars And Their Video Game Counterparts
16. Shawn Michaels/Ken (Street Fighter)
The suggestion of WhatCulture reader Theveshan Pillay, this is completely and utterly obvious, when you think about it. Theres enough physical resemblance to hang your hat on: but Ken Masters and Shawn Michaels have plenty more in common than that. One of the major protagonists of the Street Fighter franchise since the year dot, Ken is also probably the second most popular character in that video game institution, second only to his best mate Ryu - and if anyone knows what its like to play second fiddle to a bigger star, its the Heartbreak Kid. Both men are flamboyant extroverts from bell to bell, arrogant and egotistical even in their most babyface of moments: but theyre also good family men, and excellent friends to have in a tight spot. And then of course both Masters and Michaels will kick your head off as soon as look at you.
