Shawn Michaels WrestleMania Matches - Ranked From Worst To Best

The Rockers took part in three matches at WrestleMania, and their only winning effort is probably the best of these. 

It was another big chaps/little chaps effort, this time against Heenan Family members Barbarian and Haku. Those two chaps were pretty standard big men workers in the 1980s, legitimate tough guys who were credible enough to give a boost to those who defeated them. Michaels and Jannetty were the victors here, following a missile dropkick/top rope crossbody combination.

By 1991, The Rockers had perfected the fast-paced tag team opener. They bumped liked maniacs for their opponents, and their comebacks were defined by the swells of support the crowd would provide. We would grow used to these from Michaels throughout his career, and looking back it is clear that he was always going to outgrow tag team wrestling eventually. 

Shawn performs hot tag duties here, and his babyface fire is clear for all to see.
