What makes a wrestler have ''it''?

Followed by ratings which had been increasing once again collapsing until Big Dimes Austin returned. Shawn never drew a dime, was never over and the lockerroom told him if he didn't drop the strap and fuck off he was getting heemed into another galaxy. He did the job, """retired""" in utter shame and embarrassment and ratings skyrocketed.

Bret pls get over it

See: MJF

>b-b-bret
Bret lost 4 million dollars for WWF and that is only topped by Shawn losing 6. Stop sucking his fucking dick dude Michaels is a legit anti-dimes and every number and record proves it. You are literally trying to pretend Shawn saved the company in 97 by going heel, not Austin exploding and finally getting some eyes back on WWE.

lol this shawnfag has been on some desperate damage control for days ever since anons got the numbers to prove shawn drew less than anyone. post the stuff again i want to watch him squirm

A manlet that’s not in the mainevent

WWF Prospectus filed in Oct 1999 with SEC:
sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1091907/000095013099005812/0000950130-99-005812.txt

May-Apr Fiscal Year - WWF Net Income (Profit/Loss):
1994-95 - $87,352,000 (-$4,431,000)
1995-96 - $85,815,000 ($3,199,000)
1996-97 - $81,863,000 (-$6,505,000)

Bret was WWF Champ from May 1, 1994 - Nov 23, 1994 & WWF made loss of $4.43 million
Diesel was WWF Champ from May 1, 1995 - Nov 19, 1995 & WWF made profit of $3.19 million
HBK was WWF Champ from May 1, 1996 - Nov 17, 1996 & WWF made loss of $6.50 million

HBK would win the WWF title again at Royal Rumble 1997, & hold it for another 25 days. So in the 1996-97 fiscal year, HBK held the WWF title for a combined 226 days. Sycho Sid held the WWF title for a combined 97 days. Bret Hart held the WWF title for 1 day. The Undertaker held the WWF title for 39 days.

Therefore the man who held the WWF title the longest during WWF's biggest money losing year was Shawn Michaels.

Yet he became top 5 stars all time so what's your point?
No one remembers bret, no one cares about mankind, who tf is Nash, Hall?, Darth Vader?

oh no no no no shawnfag on fucking suicide watch lmfao. it's even better when you remember shawnetty retired, dx actually got over thanks to noa, austin left and rock was almost in hollywood and then shawn had a miracle cure and could wrestle again thinking the limelight would all be on him - and ratings started dropping straight away lmao

>he became top 5 star of all time

Shawn isn't even in the top 5 in that small list of wrestlers you deluded drone. The purpose of wrestling is seperating marks from their money. Shawn couldn't do that.

Shawn is one of the most recognizable figures in wrestling.
Oh right what's a super kick the one move legit every wrestler has stolen.
And don't give me some literal jap who bs actually this guy created it.
Ask any black guy on the street, they know Shawn.

Bret hat the IT factor to almost kill WWF and help kill WCW

>Yet he became top 5 stars all time
stuff e-drones believe

>talk to niggers they know
You shook as fuck lad. For months your only spiel has been repeating 'Shawn drew more than Bret' now it turns out Bret drew 2 million more than Shawn and you are having a fucking breakdown. Nobody knows or cares about HBGay besides faggots who buy Playgirl.

Every single one of those men had more fans than Shawm and had people willing to pay to see them wrestle. Nobody cared what Shawn did. Nobody wanted to see him. Nobody was willing to pay.

An undying love for pizza

>shawn michaels invented the superkick
you don't know anything about wrestling

Hey, respect where respect is due. Who else in the history of the wrestling has killed the business twice? It's honestly impressive that Shawn can be so shit that he not only kills ratings but inspires an entire generation to be somehow even worse.
Really the only thing more impressive is that Vince is dumb enough to let it keep happening to him over and over again.

Worked
Yeah bro can't wait to hear who is more known for the super kick! Fuck outta here

>inspires an entire generation to be somehow even worse
i read this the other day here some user pointed out shawn is probably even responsible for shit ratings to this very day as he is patient zero for five foot manlets spamming superkicks and flips at everything thinking this will get them over without realizing shawn was never over and his place in wwf history is the dude who almost killed the company singlehandedly

>w-w-worked
>b-because i k-know nothing a-about wrestling n-no-one else d-does e-either
Shawn Michaels drew minus six and a half million dollars (-$6,500,000) as WWF Champion.

COPE

Austin didn't save shit, it was pic related's booking. Austin was just along for the ride

Nice bait.

It's true though, Russo came up with Mr McMahon who was the actual draw

Truth hurts ya dumbass mark

I'd argue McMahon's own behaviour caused that but Russo was right to tell him to run with it.
>doubling down
Ya bro if they got Russo in right now he'd make Seff shit dimes! Fucking retard.

shawnfag fucking ethered. saving those numbers.

Russo would at least book him the best possible way to resemble a draw. Who knows, he turned Stunning Steve Austin and Rocky Maivia into the biggest draws ever. Seethe harder mark

What reason does AEW have for not putting MJF in the main event right from the start?

Stop being a mark

Either 10/10 bait or a legit fucking retard.

LMAO shawn michaels was the lowest drawing champion in wwe history to do something like this. the way he does it is like I've seen him in wrestling and he just does it in the ring. the only problem is when he looks at it in perspective he does a better job of not letting you know his thoughts on what it's going to take to beat someone like that. what you can see from him now is not a lot of knowledge. he's going to go by what you see on the screen and when he actually does it that's when you know it's not going to be easy for him but he can't really help it because he knows that even though he's up 15/3 for the win, he's losing by 2. that's how he works. it's almost like he's trying too hard.

the fact he never lets an opponent win a match is really the thing that has us most worried about. so how does he win without any sort of gimmick or gimmickry?
