No and I am glad that while that meme was forced for decades it is now being rejected and his influence is being re-evaluated as an unfortunate dead end that the industry chose to go down.

In terms of draw? No.
In terms of workrate? No.
In terms of look? No.

I'd argue 97 Michaels isn't top 150 of all time in any of these categories.

His only flaw is that he was an inconsistent promo. Could cut a 10/10 heel promo one night and the next a rambling slurring disaster of a promo.
People want to talk about how he wasn't a draw, but after his first run with the strap saw the start of the most profitable time in wrestling history in the Attitude Era in which he inspired.

Rock sucked dick in 2002 which is why he got booed in big matches despite being the face multiple times. At least say 1999 or 2000 Rock.

Yes. The best there ever was right here. Fueled on percocets, whiskey, cocaine, soma and pure swagger. There will never be another like him.

Like I said in the other thread
>when a Bretchad talks about Bret, they discuss his wrestling ability, his in-ring psychology, his storytelling ability, his selling, etc
vs
>when a Shawncel talks about Shawn, they talk about what a "chad" he was. How great his "look" was. How "charismatic" he is
I'll let you decide which wrestler posed for a gay magazine.

It was because Shawn Triggered Tommy Lee so much, it caused Tommy to beat Pam, and other wise act like a psycho and ruin her personal life.
