3. Shawn Michaels Vs. Ken Shamrock (D-Generation X: In Your House 1997)
D-Generation X were on top of the world in late 1997 with Shawn Michaels holding the WWF Championship. The group had a pay-per-view named after them in December ’97, just one month after the infamous Montreal Screwjob incident. Shawn Michaels, who had more heat than ever at the time, put his WWF Title up for grabs against The World’s Most Dangerous Man, Ken Shamrock.
There was nothing wrong with their match from a technical standpoint. It was a fine main event with an incredibly lame DQ ending, which never helps. The ending felt even more deflating, given that fans always expected more than “just” a fine main event when Shawn Michaels was involved. Still, their match was good enough to earn a spot in the top three.
