At the 1998 Royal Rumble, Shawn Michaels was wrestling The Undertaker in a Casket Match. During the match, Michaels was thrown over the top rope and landed back-first on the edge of the casket. The impact severely injured his lower back. The injury wasn't simply a case of having a sore back. Michaels suffered serious damage to the discs in his lower back, including a herniated/ruptured disc. He experienced severe pain and neurological problems, but despite the injury, he finished the match and continued wrestling for several weeks afterward. Michaels would eventually wrestle Stone Cold Steve Austin at WrestleMania XIV on March 29, 1998, but by that point, his back was in terrible shape. He was in significant pain leading into the match. After WrestleMania XIV, Michaels underwent back surgery and stepped away from wrestling. When people talk about Shawn being away for four years, I think it's important to separate those four years into two different periods. Roughly the first two years were spent dealing with the physical consequences of his back injury and recovery. The other two years were largely due to his personal issues and the direction his life had taken. He eventually returned to WWE in 2002, with his first major match being against Triple H at SummerSlam. What's remarkable is that Shawn didn't just come back—he came back at an incredible level. Honestly, I think you can look at Shawn Michaels' career as having two completely different careers: **1986–1998 and 2002–2010.** And you can absolutely argue that his second career was his better one. By this point, Shawn was clean, much less of an asshole, and far more willing to work with younger talent and put people over. If anything, I sometimes think Shawn was almost **too** giving. There were times when I think he should have been a little more selfish and pursued another championship run instead of constantly helping elevate other wrestlers. Shawn Michaels is often considered one of the greatest in-ring performers of all time because of his ability to make you **believe** in everything he does. It's not just about executing moves. It's about the emotion, timing, facial expressions, selling, and the way he makes the audience feel like everything happening in the match actually matters. There are very few wrestlers who I think can consistently reach that level. Eddie Guerrero, Bret Hart, Kurt Angle, and Chris Benoit are some of the few who come to mind. Even among modern wrestlers I really like, there are only a handful who I think truly have that same ability. Seth Rollins, Bryan Danielson, and AJ Styles are among the closest, but even then, I'd still put Shawn a notch above them. Part of that may also be because wrestling has changed so much over the years. The modern style is much faster and more move-heavy, whereas Shawn's greatest strength was making every part of the match feel meaningful. I really hope you guys check out both Shawn's older matches and his later matches, because they show just how different his two careers were. ### Some of Shawn's Pre-Injury Matches * **Shawn Michaels vs. Razor Ramon – WrestleMania X (1994)** * **Shawn Michaels vs. Bret Hart – WrestleMania XII (1996)** * **Shawn Michaels vs. Bret Hart – Survivor Series 1997** * **Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker – Badd Blood 1997, Hell in a Cell** There are obviously many more, but those are some of the best examples of Shawn's first career. ### Some of His Post-Injury Matches There are so many great ones here that it's hard to narrow them down. You've already seen one of them, but there's the **2002 Elimination Chamber match**, which was actually Shawn's second match after returning and his first major pay-per-view match following his SummerSlam 2002 match against Triple H. Then there's: * **Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Jericho – WrestleMania XIX (2003)** * **Shawn Michaels vs. Triple H – 2003 RAW World Heavyweight Championship match** * **Shawn Michaels vs. Kurt Angle – WrestleMania 21 (2005)** * **Shawn Michaels vs. Vince McMahon – WrestleMania 22 (2006)** That WrestleMania 22 match was originally supposed to be Shawn Michaels vs. the late, great Eddie Guerrero. Unfortunately, Eddie passed away in 2005. I highly recommend checking out Eddie's career at some point as well, because he is also considered one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. Then you have: * **Shawn Michaels vs. Ric Flair – WrestleMania XXIV (2008)** * **Shawn Michaels vs. John Cena – RAW in the UK (2007)**, the WrestleMania 23 rematch * **Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker – WrestleMania 25 (2009)**, which is widely considered one of the greatest WrestleMania matches ever * **Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker – WrestleMania 26 (2010)** And WrestleMania 26 was supposed to be Shawn's final match... well, the final match we *thought* was going to be his last. XD That's what makes Shawn's career so fascinating to me. You aren't just looking at one great wrestler. You're essentially looking at **two different versions of Shawn Michaels**, separated by a devastating back injury, several years away from wrestling, and a major transformation in his personal life. Both versions were great, but the Shawn Michaels who came back in 2002 was arguably the more complete performer—and that's an incredible thing to say about someone who was already one of the best wrestlers in the world before his back injury.

If you want to see JR hating on Triple H, I would recommend The Rock vs The Undertaker from King Of The Ring 1999. Shawn had a Hall Of Fame career prior to his come back & his 2nd run was even better. It's a very unique thing that one person has 2 long Hall Of Fame quality runs. For me yeah I thought this was a one off for Shawn. I never thought he wrestle again. I was watching at home and I had such a pop to Shawn doing the nip up because to me that was what sold it to me that Shawn could still go. Over the next year or so I kept thinking it wasn't going to last & each match was his last before he would have to retire again but the 2nd run went on for another 8 years. Honestly Shawn's career is good enough he could be a one time exception & get a 2nd solo Hall Of Fame induction just for having 2 outstanding runs. At the very least he should get a 2nd one For The Rockers, but That would probably not happen because of Marty Janetty . This match kicked off a whole on again/off again feud between Shawn & triple H over the next 2 years, they had several great matches which could be a run of it's own. As for talking about being part of the show especially at an indy event. In May 2025 I went to a Northeast Wrestling show, The Vanity project currently in NXT were there as part of the WWE ID showcase. Zayda Steele who was part of the group at the time had a match with Brad Bailor & Ricky Smokes on the outside. Ricky saw me taking a picture of the women in the ring & got right in my face & yelled "What are you taking a picture of you weirdo?" I just ended up shrugging & he walked off when i didn't give him something to play off of. After the fact I said I should've been a smart ass & when he got in my face take a picture of him

Hope this is leading us to the greatest match of all time Shawn Michaels vs The Undertaker!
