Crossbody of Work Episode 21: Shawn Michaels Part 3 – Twilight of the Showstopper

Welcome to Crossbody of Work, a show where we break down a wrestler’s career through five of their biggest matches.

This week we wrap up our three part series on Shawn Michaels. We take a look at some matches for Shawn during his second run with the WWE. There’s a bloody brawl as part of DX, a great over-sell in a match with Hulk Hogan, and three classic matches. Is Shawn truly the Showstopper? We talk about all of that, as well as:

• Brian Hebner’s frosted tips
• The Guerrero-Mysterio Child Custody Ladder Match
• Hulk Hogan
• Cena’s cargo shorts

And a lot more.
