Here it goes.. yay!
Shawn Michaels is the obvious choice in this match up, why? because he's been putting on consistent great matches throughout 26 years, in any environment, be it gimmick matches, be it tag team matches, or be it simple hold for hold singles matches (Kurt Angle vs Shawn Michaels says it all about this guy, his matches vs Triple H in my opinion says anything that needs to be said about the abilities in gimmick matches Shawn has)
Shawn is without the shadow of a doubt one of the greatest wrestlers to step into a squared circle, and I'll be damned if I'm to see Jeff Jarrett of all people booting Shawn out of this tournament.
Jeff Jarret in my eyes is overrated, 15 world titles (12 you could say, and 2 in minor promotions, but none the less it seems as if it's counted as 15.. but then again TNA is counting Kurt Angle as 13 times, so what do I know)
I know I'm gonna come off biased on this, and probably very unknowledged about this guy, but I really can't name much that this guy has done to achieve the status of "innovator" in any form, except for the fact that he created TNA, which in my eyes is perhaps one of the few memorable things he's done, that and winning an NWA championship during a stint between WWF and NWA, only to get his ass stunned by Stone Cold in his hunt to proclaim his dominance in the 1998 Royal Rumble.
And to think about it, I believe I've heard the words so many times "The Stroke sucks"..
Shawn Michaels can out wrestle, cut a better promo, and is overall more of a star and hall of famer of any form than Jeff Jarrett ever will be, no matter how many title reigns this guy gets stacked from head to toe.
