Shawn Michaels is a legend, his one of the best wrestler of all time

I agree with the Mouldy one.

I've never understood the appeal of Shawn Michaels. Sure he's a good all-ropunder who can brawl a bit, fly a bit and wrestler a bit. He's even pretty good on the mic and carries himself well. But in my personal opinion he's never been good enough at implementing psyhology into a match to be worth of the reverie he recieves. Although he hides this well by bumping like a mad-man the end result was a stunted career, also contributing to this was Vince trying to hide his weakness in ring psychology by booking him in an endless slew of gimmick matches.

Umm, I believe when judging a federation you should look at their world champion. Samoa Joe for ROH doesn't exactly do much flying around and his current feud is with CM Punk who is probably the best match psychologist outside of the WWE, but then he should be as he learned from the best, Raven.

I don't and I'm willing to bet almost anything that Orton will never be world champ and will fade progressively down the card. Why? Because he is in the same position Val Venis was in 5 years ago.

Cris Benoit todays best
Cena is heading the same way. He started to improve when he was facing Kurt Angle and he actually got a decent match out of Taker. Now, he only seems to have 5 moves and is heading backwards.

Sorry? Flying about in a ring for a while? RoH does have spotfests, yes, but it's built on workrate and fundamentally good wrestling, with psychology at the centre point. Sure, it doesn't work every time, but to dismiss it as 'flying around in a ring for a while' is ridiculous - you just haven't been paying attention. I can understand it may not be exactly what you want, but that description of yours is flawed.

Yes, he probably will become a big star, but that doesn't mean he's a good wrestler at all, necessarily. Look at the guff WWE and WCW have pushed to the moon in the past (Kevin Nash springs to mind).
