Reminds me of how leonardo dicaprio gets little respect for being a hell of an actor, just because he was in the movie titanic .

Shawn Michaels for as much of a tool as he is, should probably go down as the best overall performer that wrestlings ever had. He's a unique mix of charisma, mic work and he can outright perform in the ring, and a lot of times was and is pretty selfless about it.
Even in his last match against Bret Hart, as much as he hated Hart, he sold that match. The same against a lot of other wrestlers where he sold the crap out of it and made his opponent look good.
The guy that I can't stand is Triple H, the guy just no sells, and buries people on the mic. He goes out of his way to destroy credibility with his booking (See Jericho), and he certainly destroyed Kanes career in about 10 minutes by creating a necrophilia angle.
Jesus, you'd think that I watched wrestling once in a while.
