The Pro Wrestling Illustrated's 'Match of the Year' title is a coveted accolade. For decades, the magazine has systematically picked the most must-see match of the past 12 months. So it only makes sense that a must-see superstar like HBK holds the record for most appearances, with 11.
Michaels first appeared in 1993, when he faced former partner Marty Jannetty for the Intercontinental Championship. Michaels won each year for 4 years before his streak was broken in 1997. Upon his return, Michaels picked up where he left off, having PWI's Match of the year, every year, from 2004-2010.
