Add in the ton of baggage he came with. Yeah, Bret Hart had baggage, but the HBK crap was at Hogan 1990-1993 level for a time there between 1996-1998.

I can respect that arguement, but I think that props are due for a guy who truely has outperformed anyone else (outside of maybe Taker) on the biggest stage, and I don't think that's a cliche.

I don't understand how you see him no-selling, if anything he's known for overselling. I think the thing against Shawn is that, in the ring, he isn't the most athletic, strongest, quickest guy. He doesn't have the most devestating signature moves, relying instead on something like an inverted atomic drop with an elbow drop.

But I think HBK, from when he first threw Marty out the window, oooooozes and defines charisma in wrestling.

I think, bottom line, he doesn't get enough credit for single-handedly carrying the WWE through one of the toughest times its had.

HBK is a good performer. I just can't stand when a guy gets a body part worked over the majority of the match, then makes his comeback and forgets about it. To me, it ruins what the match was building up to. HBK does this time after time. I just think it's bad when you work over a guy's back or legs for 15 minutes, then he nips up and dances around.

Re: Your top 10

I don't think I could ever pick an all time favorite..but here my 10 in no particular order

1 - Sting - Old school sting...he and Flair had some epic matches

2 - Flair - Never was the most athletic..but man he could tell a story in the ring..and could make you absolutely hate him

3 - Hogan - Growing up he was my favorite..the reason I ever started watching wrestling

4 - Randy Savage - Him and Steamboat gave one of my favorite matches ever, and he always seemed to give his all back in the day

5 - Bret Hart - 1/2 of one of my favorite tag teams...one of the most technically sound wrestlers ever who went on the have an even greater singles career

6 - Vader - Yeah I know he was a huge brute..but he made his beatdowns look brutal...and his huge helmet/mask thing he wore was awesome

7 - Arn Anderson - along with flair helped form one of the greatest..if not the greatest stable ever, I hated him..but you had to respect the man

8 - Rock n Roll Express/Midnight Express - Were my favorite tag team matches to watch ever...I mean they never ever let me down..and some of the angles they used to have..made them all the better

9 - Steve Austin - From Stunning Steve to The Rattle Snake I always loved/hated him...became golden on the mic later on in his career and had some of the best moments I can remember watching in wrestling

10 - Rob Van Dam/Jerry Lynn - Sure they were mostly spot wrestlers...but when squared off against each other...some of the most entertaining matches I can recall
