Nobody in history was better at that than Shawn Michaels. The best pure wrestler that I have ever seen is Shawn Michaels. He has absolutely everything. He’s not to big, so he’s easy to root for. He’s fantastic on the mic. He’s so good on the mic that he can make you love him or hate him really easily, so he can be used effectively as a heel or a face.
