#3. An instant classic
Particularly given how long it has been since either man wrestled full time, there is reason for some skepticism about the quality of a singles match between The Rock and Shawn Michaels. However, truly great performers who know wrestling and know how to manipulate a crowd as powerfully as The Rock and Michaels aren’t going to deliver an out-and-out flop.
Michaels has proven his ability to come back with remarkable proficiency based on his original comeback in 2002 as well as his one-off return for Crown Jewel this fall. He’s not getting any younger, but it still seems misguided to doubt that he’d come to WrestleMania ready. Similarly, The Rock has proven his work ethic, as he came back looking quite good for his two-match series with John Cena and would surely work just as hard to hold up his end for a match with HBK.
