2. Shawn Michaels
tumblrFew men have stepped through the ropes and had the career (or careers, depending on how you look at it) that Shawn Michaels has had. He already was regarded as one of the greatest of all time while he still was competing on a weekly basis. His ring work is regarded as top-notch a few years from now, there will be a generation of wrestlers coming up who got into the industry because of guys like Michaels. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFg8ozg5Wvs One of the things that make him stand out is the arsenal of moves he can hit on opponents seemingly at any time, in any place. Sure, Sweet Chin Music is the move that everyone points to, but Shawns diving elbow drop from the top rope is just a thing of beauty to watch. He could hit it from any side (he would use either arm to deliver the elbow). And there was something about the way hed almost look like he was flipping off his opponent on the way down when he cocked the elbow. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwiH8WHPB2s Michaels rival, Bret Hart, referred to himself as the Excellence of Execution, but HBK always looked crisp and convincing when hitting moves like the elbow drop. Watch Michaels deliver that flying elbow off a ladder and through a table and youll start rubbing your chest having sympathy pains for Vince McMahon.
