10 Best Shawn Michaels Matches of The 1990's

#9 Shawn Michaels vs. Diesel - WrestleMania XI

Should have been the main event

This was one of those matches that proved how phenomenal Shawn Michaels really was.

While Kevin Nash is one of the best big men in the history of WWE, his run in WWE as Diesel was often plagued by poor performances due to the size difference between he and many of his opponents. Although he did manage to have many entertaining matches with Razor Ramon, Bret Hart and of course, Shawn Michaels.

After being 2-time WWE Tag Team Champions, Shawn and Diesel broke up in late 1994 after Michaels 'accidentally' kicked Diesel in a few different matches, most notably at the Survivor Series. Shawn would win the 1995 Royal Rumble, setting up a WWE Championship match at WrestleMania 11.

Although it wasn't the main event, in favour of the publicity Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Lawrence Taylor match, the two managed to steal the show and even perhaps have the best match in all of 1995. Despite the bigger size difference than usual, the two put on a great match that pretty much made the entire disappointing pay-per-view worthwhile. Diesel came out on top after a slightly, intentionally botched (by Michaels) Jackknife Powerbomb.
