Can someone explain why this non dime-drawing SOB is considered the greatest of all time? I'm sure he was a spectacle in 1995 but when he came back and they put him in the ring with Kurt Angle and Benoit, it was embarrassing.

See that promo? People talk like that is the best promo he's ever done. That monotonous, passionless 7/10 piece of crap. This could give Daniel Bryan and Bret Hart a run for their money.
Here is what real promos look like:

Passion. Emotion. Physicality.
People talk like HBK was a great in ring worker, master of psychology, and agile as all hell (8/10 agility at best)
That's half the wrestlers working today.
If Hogan had never left an open spot, this guy would be nothing.

He gave info to Meltzer. Meltzer talked him up, saying he was the best American worker. Marks bought it.

He was Vince's fuck toy
If you fucked with him, he'd rat on you until you were mopping floors. In that business, you say what you're supposed to or the locker room turns on you. Even Undertanker (who couldn't stand him to the point or injuring him) had to call him the greatest

Who the fuck has said that that lost my smile shit was a good promo? Don't even come bitching about smarks because even they make fun of that shit all the time. Not saying at all that HBK was a good promo, but I've never seen that specific clip discussed outside the idea of it being a complete and utter joke.

You're right. OP is shitty bait, or a moron.
I could only ever stand Michaels when he was working with Triple H in DX, but even I admit he was a great in ring worker. Not the best in my opinion, but top 5 maybe, top 10 definitely.
Bret was much better in ring, but that's only a fraction of what makes a great pro wrestler.

All the greatest WrestleMania matches involved him. vs taker, angle, Jericho, Bret, vince, Flair, cena, razor ramon etc

Do you like his Montreal promo. He got great heat from the crowd
