Pro Wrestling Illustrated is seen by many as the most important wrestling outlet available, and as such their annual awards are recognised as the measuring stick by fans, critics and wrestlers alike.
Shawn Michaels is the proud holder of the most PWI Match of the Year Awards since the prize began back in 1972, having won the award a whopping eleven times.
The matches of the Heartbreak Kid’s that won said awards are as follows:
