WWE: 10 Most Influential Promos In WWE History

8. HBK Gives Marty Jannetty Some Sweet Chin Music

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQffpK2sCsA It€™s incredibly difficult to discuss Shawn Michaels from the perspective of faces and heels. As a man who defines wrestling, face and heel as definitions rarely reflect what HBK became as a performer. Michaels, above all else, understood how to induce a big moment, and his actions throughout his career suggest that it does not matter what type of reaction you elicit, only that you elicit the most profound reaction possible. Never was this more apparent that when he put a definitive end to The Rockers by delivering one of his best Super Kicks ever to Marty Jannetty and tossing his carcass unceremoniously through the Barbershop window. Suddenly, Michaels€™ fans didn€™t know what to believe anymore, only that they loved the Showstopper, and they couldn€™t possibly fathom why he had made the decision to so callously put an end to one of the greatest tag teams of all time. You might even say that this was the first time Shawn Michaels broke the fans€™ hearts. This was the moment when HBK fully broke out on his own to become the best singles competitor of the last thirty years, and it became a seminal staple of his career
