Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart had one of the greatest rivalries in the history of WWE, and fans have often questioned which one was the better wrestler.
It seems that everyone has an opinion regarding which one was better in the ring, but Shawn Michaels recently explained to The Ringer that out of the two of them he thought Bret wad the better wrestler and he was the better entertainer.
“It’s the age-old question: ‘Who’s better? Shawn or Bret?’ At some point it dawned on me ‘Oh my goodness, yeah, Bret was easily a better wrestler than I am. But I think I was a better performer.’ When we came into the age of the sports entertainer, I think that was my space, that was my area.
It had to do with more than just the technical wrestling of a match. It had a lot to do with emotion and story. And also, look, the charisma, the entrance, all of it sort of combined. At the end of the day, there’s no defining the best and the greatest and all that kind of stuff in this line of work. Every bit of it is personal preference. And I try to remind everybody like ‘Hey, just the fact that I’m even in the conversation is fricking fantastic with me.'”
