10 Wrestlers Who Had Their Best Match Against Shawn Michaels

Shelton Benjamin is one of the most athletic WWE superstars of all time, and this match was the perfect way to showcase his skill. The crowd went nuts the second Michaels’ music hit, because they knew they were in for a great show.

The match itself started off on the ground, with both men demonstrating their exceptional mat wrestling. Slowly, the pace picked up when Michaels and Benjamin started trading arm drags with both men selling them to the max. Soon, Shelton started to incorporate some of his trademark springboard offence.

The thing this match will be remembered most for, however is undoubtedly the finish. Benjamin, standing on the apron, launched himself across the full length of the ring, only for Michaels to nail him with a Sweet Chin Music and pin him for the victory. The match proved that Shelton could swim with the sharks, with Dave Meltzer even giving it a ****1/2 rating. Benjamin never failed to put on an entertaining match, and this one was undoubtedly his best.
