HBK's Greatest Moments

Mr. WrestleMania
Shawn Michaels performed at WrestleMania more times than arguably any other single performer, delivering classic after classic. His back-to-back matches with The Undertaker at WrestleMania XXV and XXVI are considered the greatest WrestleMania matches in history.
D-Generation X
DX — Shawn Michaels and Triple H with the New Age Outlaws — was the most irreverent, anti-establishment faction of the Attitude Era. "Are you ready?" became a rallying cry for an entire generation of wrestling fans who wanted rebellion alongside their sport.
The Comeback (2002)
After a back injury that doctors said ended his career in 1998, Shawn Michaels returned in 2002 and immediately delivered some of his best in-ring work. His second run produced matches that many consider superior to his original career peak.
