WWE: 6 Reasons Shawn Michaels Vs The Rock Is The Best Feud Never Seen

3. The Matches

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zy6IwDn6kew The cornerstone of any good feud is the matches that comprise it, and for all the trappings of their larger-than-life personalities, Michaels and The Rock can both go €“ especially on a big stage. The Rock has had classic WrestleMania matches with Steve Austin, Hulk Hogan, and John Cena, and Shawn Michaels has had enough great performances at the show of shows to fill a DVD (in fact, I'm pretty sure they just released one). No matter where the matches (or single match, more likely) take place, we're assured a classic. The finishing sequence would be especially memorable, considering that both guys have such well-established moves, but haven't had the opportunity to play around with one another's €“ for instance, picture The Rock attempting the People's Elbow, only to come bounding back into a Sweet Chin Music, or imagine Rock locking Michaels in the Sharpshooter while the announcers sell the historical significance of it. In the end, like all dream matches, it all comes down to two smart wrestlers living up to the hype they know they have to meet €“ and maybe even exceeding it.
