At WrestleMania 12, Shawn Michaels, having had a successful run as a singles competitor, was looking for his first world title.

The WWE Hall of Famer was up against one of the best technical performers, Bret Hart. The match was epic, with no winner decided in the stipulated 60 minutes resulting in sudden death. A resilient HBK somehow pulled Sweet Chin Music out of his repertoire, which was enough to knock Bret out with the 1-2-3.

Shawn Michaels won his first WWE Championship to cement his legacy further as Mr. WrestleMania.

#3 WrestleMania 19 - Shawn Michaels selflessly makes Chris Jericho look like a superstar

In one of the most iconic clashes at WrestleMania 19, the legend squared off against Chris Jericho, who considered Michaels his idol.

The match is well-remembered for the delightful performance both these superstars showcased. Despite Jericho using HBK's signature move on him, Michaels didn't surrender. Shawn managed to pin Jericho with a 1-2-3 roll-up rather than his signature Sweet Chin Music.

The greatness of The Showstopper was brought to the forefront when he made the younger Chris Jericho look a million dollars in this match. The classic match further put Michaels over with the WWE Universe.
