10 Wrestlers Labelled "The Next Shawn Michaels"

Edge's time at the top of the wrestling tree was fairly short-lived. He spent much of his early career in a tag team with kayfabe bro. Christian, and the curtain was brought down on his singles run by a series of neck injuries.

While he doesn't quite enjoy the same legacy Shawn Michaels does, he did win more gold than the Heartbreak Kid, and was seldom out of the main event scene after cashing in Money in the Bank to win his first title in 2006.

The comparison is an obvious one to make: like HBK, lean Edge didn't look like a typical world champion but had the charisma - and the ruthless streak - to stand out from his contemporaries.
