post back injury Shawn was arguably better than pre back injury Shawn.

Might be a while before I vote against him

Shawn's 2002-2005 is one of the most incredibly post-injury runs in wrestling history, and he continued to function at a pretty high level until his full-time retirement in 2010.

The only thing that'll stop me is when he's against someone with like 20 years but Shiozaki almost has that himself and it's still not enough

The Jericho feud in 08 might be the best work of the run too

I'm very happy that I put Go high enough on my list that he even ended up in the tournament at all... then this pairing was set and yea... fuck. :lol

Either way though, prime Shawn vs. prime Go would probably be mind-blowing

Yeah I'm not sure NOAH would be around today if he wasn't carrying them during the darkest times

HBK. Arguably the best to do it.

HBK's comeback in 2002 was one of the greatest comebacks ever. I tend to agree that he had his best run from then on for the best part of a decade. The only thing that ruined it a bit was a god awful DX comeback :rolleyes: .
