10 Wrestlers Labelled "The Next Shawn Michaels"

He began his career as the more popular member of a precocious high-flying duo before breaking out as a star in his own right. No, not Shawn Michaels, but Jeff Hardy.

Jeff didn't achieve quite the same success as HBK in the singles game, but his career followed a similar path, and for a short while (admittedly, a really short while) it looked as though WWE were about to make him their go-to guy.

Unfortunately, he shared more than just in-ring style with a young Michaels, and has always struggled to shake off his reputation for being unreliable. Not even that could prevent him from becoming one of his generation's biggest stars though - and he has the world titles to prove it.
