To be fair, any of the pair's matches during the 'Best Friends, Bitter Enemies' feud that played out over the following couple of years were worthy of this list. However, the story behind this initial meeting means it is head and shoulders above the rest of the pair's rivalry from the early 2000s. Michaels had been gone from the wrestling business for over four years due to injury and was brought back by his legitimate best friend for a D Generation X reunion. Only for The Game to turn on The Heart Break Kid by hitting him with The Pedigree. Backstage politics made their way into the ring when HHH said that he'd used Michaels to get to the top, just like the former Rocker had used him to stay there throughout the mid 90s and the early stages of The Attitude Era. Then we had the assault where Hunter put Shawn's head through a car window, going on to deny doing it before being framed by CCTV. Cue one of the most devilish smirks ever seen on WWE TV. The match the pair put on was nothing short of spectacular. We knew Triple H would deliver as he was at his arguable peak in the summer of 2002. The question marks were all surrounding Michaels, had he lost a step or two during his hiatus? Don't be so silly... http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1521h8_triple-h-vs-shawn-michaels-summerslam-2002_sport
