Shawn Michaels: 90's run or 2000's run?

[The ShowStopper]

If he hadn't suffered that back injury in 1998, you can only imagine how completely epic his run in the Attitude era would have been (since it was the direction he was pushing Vince to go in for years previous). His character would have been able to continue in a time when Vince finally went in the direction of crazy a$$hole characters running around on TV doing whatever they wanted. If we got to see 97-98 HBK continue to do that sort of stuff for the rest of the Attitude era, he would have had even more epic promos, antics, and matches. I'm still disappointed that we never got to see a healthy HBK/Austin feud. Would have been insane. What a bummer.

It was instant hilarity watching him trying to hide his bald spot from the camera during different spots in his matches in his second run.

I always wondered how he would have played into the attitude era if he was healthy and competing. Things would have been completely different.
This would probably be a thread if that happened though....

90s but 00s was the shyt too...HBK was the goat, even this year I was at a spurs game 1 vs the thunder and we were about to go into the 4th quarter losing and I'm feeling like then all of a sudden hbk's music hits and he comes out and kinda pumps up the crowd the Great hometown hero lifted the spirits of the San Antonio spurs to win game 1 if he only he was there for the other games

HBK's swag in 98 is still untouched
