The replies so far have been laughable. HBK could'nt lace Sting's boots on his best day. HBK was a rocker or a jobber when Sting was main eventing and having epic matches over seas. Like I've said before..only a handful of people in this business can compare to The Stinger, HBK is NOT one of them. I know you're a huge Sting fan and I'm a huge HBK fan, but your logic here doesn't hold any water. Just because HBK was a jobber when Sting was a main eventer, doesn't mean squat. Ultimate Warrior was a main eventer before Bret or HBK that doesn't mean he's better or was a better worker or anything of the sort. I am gonna flat out say I am a Sting fan. I've always enjoyed his work, but HBK is easily a better in-ring worker. He's more diverse, more athletic and has progressed his in-ring set and switched up his moveset and style waaay more than Sting. If anything Sting couldn't lace HBK's boots in the ring. Sting has had a great long career., but he never hit the high points of HBK. The fact that, still in 2009, HBK is putting on matches of the year at Wrestlemania while Sting heads some ill-fated stable in TNA speaks volumes.

The better question is, why ask this on a board that's predominant with so many blind Shawn Michaels fans to begin with? Good luck finding a wrestling-themed MB with hardcore fans who don't like HBK. One might exist somewhere...but I doubt it.

I vote for HBK but why all of these threads recently asking if Sting or Taker/HBK had a better career. Why compare Sting to anyone? What's next HHH..

HBK for sure.
Sting has had a very good career, but he has yet to join WWE.
WWE is the #1 Wrestling Promotion in the world, when an average person thinks of wrestling they think of WWE, and you can hold all the WCW, NWA, AWA, and Japan titles you want, you haven't stated you are the best in the biz until you have held the WWE title. The WWE Championship is the most prestigious title of all, and Sting has yet to win that title.
I gotta go with HBK, he is far more entertaining in almost every aspect. I like Sting but HBK is better.

Shawn by a mile. Sting is currently in the dictionary under boredom. One washed up has been working for TNA just because it is paying money and HBK is still going at his age and doesn't get what he deserves.

I really hate to compare the two and decide, but I'll go with Michaels, as I'm a fan of his work ethic, whereas Sting was more charismatic.

Sting was my childhood hero and still I vote for Shawn Michaels. It's really a no brainer... Shawn Michaels has been having MOTY at Wrestlemania up til the last while Sting is talking about his biological clock and repeating his opponent's name a thousand times per promo in TNA.
Michaels has had more top notch feuds, is more decorated, is a better worker, a better talker, and overall a better entertainer. Sting had the better character but that is really it, and I loved the guy in WCW.

Um ya sting had good matches before hbk was a main eventer...STING IS 6 years older than hbk so its pretty obvious he would be a main eventer when shawn was doing nothing. Mr T was main eventing wrestlemania b4 chris jericho was even a wrestler so obv T is a better wrestler..that logic is laughable. Sting is awesome but if you compare classic matches shawn has far more than sting. Right now sting is having pretty solid matches in the minor leagues of wrestling while hbk is one of the top three wrestlers in wwe.

WWE is REALLY a joke in the eyes of SMART wrestling fans. Sting has never sold out so that makes him THAT much better. HBK's style is so "WWE", no "technical" skills at all. Tell me..when has HBK wrestled Antonio Inoki or Great Muta? HBK is a great showman but has not proven to be a great wrestler. His WM25 match is so over rated its not funny.

HBK has never proven to be a great wrestler? He has put on more 5 star matches and wrestling clinics that any contemporary American wrestler. HBK v. Bret WM12, HBK v. Angle WM21, believe it or not even HBK v. Cena RAW UK 07. Sting could wrestler whoever he wants in Japan, but that does NOT make him a better or even as good worker as Michaels. Not only that, but compare any Sting match from the last few years to HBK's matches from the last few years to see who is still churning out excellent quality matches on a regular basis. Just in the last 2-3 years HBK's matches have easily been better than anything Stinger has been doing.

Sting even says in YOUR video that Shawn revolutionized professional wrestling. I love Sting and all but the same cannot be said for him. And if Shawn ever would have wrestled Muta you can bet that it would have been a fantastic match.

I think its silly to say that an NWA wrestler doesnt deserve something because they never wrested in the WWF. The WWF has always been too cartoony for most nwa wrestlers. They make a big deal about oh if sting would have dont this this and this...If sting would have gone to wwf McMahon would have buried his ass just like he did every other nwa/wcw star.

Watch his Wrestlemania 21 match against Kurt Angle. HBK can hold his own on the mat too. Regardless of the style of match, HBK can do it. It's what sets him apart.

Thats what these WWE fanboys don't get. Sting vs Kurt Angle @ BFG07 or Destination X09 is better than any HBK match I've seen in the last 5 years. HBK might have had a great "WWE career" but when it comes to putting yourself on the mat string style, its a different story. "WWE slamming" yourself to the top doesnt count.
