Shawn Michaels sucks real bad? Don't get me wrong as he's a tremendous athlete, but he wears ridiculous outfits and dances like a girl to the ring. I just have never been able to take him seriously. Bret Hart > Shawn Michaels.

Oh and as for the topic itself, dancing like a girl and ridiculous outfits? Something in the business called a gimmick, and he has been wearing all sorts of outfits for years, its understandable why he does what he does. That being said if someone new to wrestling turned on RAW too see a 40+ year old man dancing around to a theme like Shawn has, well yea, then I can see were you are coming from.
But in conclusion... Fudge you! Shawn rocks <3 Shawn Michaels mark, always.

As JR said in SVR 06:
"Michaels is like a fine wine. He's only gotten better with age."

I won't say that he sucks real bad, because he is a tremendous athlete and puts on quite a performance when need be.
All praise aside I will say that I have never been able to get into him, or behind him. He's had some fine matches over the years, but I've just never supported him and often find myself turning the channel when he comes on the screen. I've often found his opponents hold my interest in a match, or feud, whether that be Marty Jannety, Razor Ramon or Chris Jericho.
Michaels is a great performer but he's just one I have never got into. If he's your cup of tea, all the power to you.

I respect that you have a different opinion, but HBK is my personal favorite wrestler. When I started watching in like 1996 and I was 9 years old he first became my favorite wrestler and still is.
Sure, the music is a bit silly as is the gimmick, but honestly the music is very catchy and recognizable and that is unique with so many generic, boring theme musics and gimmicks out there. Also, in the ring you can't deny he's an amazing wrestler, perhaps the overall best WWE has ever had. He does submission, high-flying, chain-wrestling, he can get technical and his in-ring storytelling, in my opinion, is unparalleled.

It's not the bloody dancing we focus on, it's his bloody performance in the ring. Pointless thread.

Like other posters here, I don't need to defend HBK his work stands on its own. There's a reason why he is where he is today. Best worker in the business right now.

I'll go the nice route here. It's one thing to not like him, but to say he sucks is borderline idiocy.

Now this will turn into a Bret vs. Shawn topic again...
As for Michaels, I think he's been one of the most talented performers ever in the history of professional wrestling. Obviously, he learned a lot from guys before him who donned flashy gimmicks involving a lot of showmanship, but he took it to another level.
He's been able to reinvent himself after a near career-ending injury to his back and has put on even better matches than he was during his absolute prime in 1996. He doesn't dance like a girl that much anymore or focus his attention on appealing to that crowd, so I would say it's easier to stomach the entrance music and appearance of Shawn today. I've always admired his ability to carry guys with little talent to great, memorable matches (Sid, Diesel) as well as bring the best out of guys with talent (Triple H, Angle).
It's absoutely ridiculous to say he sucks, because that just isn't true. You might not like him, for instance, but you still have to respect the work he's put together over the years from his days teaming with Jannetty to his current state with WWE.

I definitely do not like Shawn Michaels BUT you can not take anything away from the guy. Even at his age he is extremely talented, always has been. Bret Hart himself said Shawn was a hell of a wrestler. Don't make comments just to start a fight. Bret wore pink of all colors to the ring and no one questioned him based on his ring attire...BTW Bret Hart is my favorite wrestler and I'm defending Shawn Michaels. WTH LOL
