11 Greatest Carry Jobs In WWE History
10. Shawn Michaels Vs Vince McMahon
Shawn Michaels' 'Mr. WrestleMania' legacy was solidified mainly through matches that transcended the work of others around him to such a degree that it could be argued he's never truly been replaced on the main WWE roster.
A back catalogue that included era-defining battles with Chris Jericho, Kurt Angle, The Undertaker, Ric Flair and others is one that no performer is ever likely to replicate with the robust consistency of 'HBK'. However, on a platform all by itself sits his WrestleMania 22 'Street Fight' with Vince McMahon. Of all the semi-regular non-wrestlers, Vince was one of the very best, but Shawn elevated McMahon's usual feisty display way beyond his traditional template.
McMahon still took the kicking he is usually prescribed at major shows, but the pair incorporated a host of hilarious and physically taxing devices along the way. Supported by powerful weapons shots including McMahon taking a framed edition of his recent 'Muscle & Fitness' magazine cover to the head and brutally measured shots with a ladder, 'HBK' paced the brawl immaculately.
The ebbs and flows during the mauling separated it from the usual McMahon plunder fare, as well as distancing the match from the hard-hitting contest between Edge and Mick Foley that had taken place less than an hour earlier.
