“Greatest” at what exactly? In ring, microphone, overall etc. If we’re going overall perhaps it’s Bobby the Brain Hennan. Shawn isn’t the best talker but some folks say he’s the best in ring performer. Bobby is considered the best Manager and color commentator by some. 2:1

When was this interview done?

The Bucks are some of those guys who were influenced by Shawn. They even worked with Marty Jannetty when he was on the indies and he said both he and Shawn were impressed by how talented they were.

What’s with the audio in this recording

There's very few moves in wrestling that haven't been copied to death.I remember when you had both Tully Blanchard and Eddie Gilbert doing the Hot Shot while both were working for NWA.

Audio's honestly dreadful in this.

Yes it's Taker, Rock, HHH, Stone Cold, Hogan, Bret Hart, and Hbk.

Great audio...

Chris Adams' Superkick!

I wouldn't say it p*sses me off, but it does make my eyes roll that the Superkick, a move that was INSTA-DEATH to get hit by, has essentially been regulated to the level of the DDT because of guys like the Young Bucks, Dolph Ziggler, and just about everyone else in the WWE & AEW roster, making it less effective of a finisher and more like just another striking move. When HBK used the move there was Psychology/Logic to it; I don't see that with talent today, not to mention the fact they draw attention to their thigh slapping.

Wrestling logic and psychology says that Shawn Michaels was the master of the super kick. Which is why he’s the only one able to finish with it. Guys like Young Bucks and Usos did it as fans, but aren’t masters which is why they need other finishing moves. Same with DDT with Jake and cutter with Randy Orton. Which is why it upsets me more that HHH let Seth use the pedigree. Pedigree was super protected, and yet someone else was able to finish with it

@troysmith5749

The thigh slap is necessary because it simulates the sound the jaw makes when it is fractured.

Nm, I wonder why Shawn buzzed his head even though he was losing his hair he looked cool with the bandana or hat along with his long hair

I would certainly hope Shawn isn't upset over someone "stealing" his super kick. Lord knows he used Macho Man's flying elbow to this heart's content.

Why did no one stop Michael from kicking the sound guy?

Does anyone know what he means?

I feel this an old video

inside the ropes...more like "outside the room" with this quality

HBK: I'm not big on sequels. I guess that's why we didn't get Shawn vs. Bret at WrestleMania 13

If you loolk at all the wrestling moves, a lot had been finishers that at a point got used by other wrestlers as just another move in their reportoire. Because pro wrestling started as a carnival attraction and with 2 guys dragging each other from one side of the ring to the other with maybe some brawling. But moves like even a body slam? Nope! All cam later! And in some cases they didn't even ask the wrestler that in invented it, if they can use it. Take the DDT as an example.

it's a weird mind f*ck that what was once a lights out finisher is now the equivalent of a clothesline ... but c'est la vie

is his eye starting to look normal again?

Sadly another video that has bad audio. Difficult to understand what Shawn says. Otherwise it would be a great video.

There's no way HBK looks at the Bucks and gets mad. They are clearly among his biggest fans ever. Their homage to his career is a daily thing. They never aren't doing HBK's shit.

Modern day wrestlers have destroyed the super kick

The Young Bucks are like Dink, Wink and Pink. Midget cosplayers of normal size wrestlers who are over.

This audio is atrocious.

what about shawn stealing bret harts sharpshooter?

Its not his. Chris Adams was first

On the one hand, Shawn Michaels wasn't the first guy to use that finishing move. On the other, he popularized it, became associated with it, and always protected it. If he kicked you, you didn't get up. Back then they had protected moves and you almost never saw someone kick out of your finisher. It would have completely ruined the illusion if people found out for sure that a movie wasn't as devastating as it looked. I'm not going to pretend I ever liked HBK or that he's the greatest wrestler of all time (he isn't, because great wrestlers draw money), but he could go in the ring for sure and he should sue the pants off the Bucks for exposing his finisher to be completely ineffective. If you're going to pay homage to another wrestler by using their move, do it right. If you're using the Sharpshooter, SCM, the Tombstone, Scorpion Death Lock or the Figure 4, you'd better have a great reason for why that doesn't immediately end the match or you just buried a legend. Sue them, Shawn!

Super kick, sweet chin music…same thing. Clothesline, lariat. No difference. Both are basic moves which are used as finishers regularly

This super kick is way over used in wwe and aew...

I met Shawn Michaels once in 1997 in Indianapolis. They just got done doing the in your house pay-per-view, The one where the Undertaker got buried and all you seen was his hand come up out of the grave. After the show I was one of the kids outside waiting on all the wrestlers to come out and ask them for autographs and being a fan. I had a Shawn Michael Scrapbook going all the way back to the mid-eighties at the time I was in my mid teens. Finally Shawn came out with this little bag on wheels or whatever, And I was nervous and I was like "excuse me sir sir I'm your biggest fan can I have your autograph?" He told me to "get the f*** lost kid I aint signing no autographs" That shattered me as a teenage kid I threw my Scrapbook away in a dumpster at market square arena on my way out. I'm glad he appears to be in a better place physically and mentally now. But I have a strong distaste for this man I don't even watch him on TV when his matches were on. I would change a paper view at the main event if he was in it. I have 0 respect for that man, I have not seen him as an adult yet and I seriously doubt he remembers that 1 incident. Yet that impression of him to me I've carried with me my whole life. I wish him nothing but the best but when it comes to anything he has to say I could care less..

It wouldn't matter if Shawn Michaels got mad about the young bucks doing the super kick because he wasn't the first to do it as a finisher, he does it the best but definitely wasn't the first, because Chris Adams and Savannah Jack were doing as a finisher long before him, heck he was still in the Midnight Rockers when Chris Adams and Savannah Jack were finishing guys with the super kick
