I'll tell you upfront, I think Shawn Michaels was probably the most gifted worker the business has ever seen.
To be someplace for ten years or to work anywhere for ten years is a tough deal. But to work in the WWE for that long, knowing how their dressing room is run with this top heavy, condescending 'do this and nothing else' attitude, it gets tiresome.
Optics can drive an economy.
I gravitated to the pro wrestlers and the grappling - Hulk Hogan 'hulking up' always looked cornball to me - and I wanted to see Ric Flair, Ricky Steamboat, and Harley Race go move-for-move.
Harley Race was eloquent in his moves - everything made sense, like a hand in a glove.
