Shawn Michaels always had a spark that others didn't; wrestlers like Steve Austin can give the fans goosebumps more efficiently, but Michaels is one of perhaps two or three pro-wrestlers who have the ability to tweak the fans' emotions by way of no more than a small facial gesture. He has enjoyes some of the greatest matches in wrestling history, though the much-hyped Iron-man was abysmal. It is sad that nowadays his many talents have become subordinate to his off-screen character, which is why many fans are irritated by his gimmick. For me, though, no amount of crass scripting will be able to detract from the great nights of Michaels' career. By the wa, if people hadn't noticed, he has spent most of the last year giving useless wrestlers like Mark Henry (whom Vince McMahon will always have an inexplicable desire to push)a chance to look good by proxy, to the detriment of his own reputation. I think this must surely balance his less pleasing backstage antics of the past.
