As we touched on earlier with Marty Jannetty, Shawn Michaels was one half of the Rockers before he decided to go his own way. After turning heel and becoming a singles wrestler he had a few feuds involving the Intercontinental title. The most famous feud he was involved with at this early stage in his career centered around two ladder matches with Razor Ramon for that very belt. That is the era of The Heartbreak Kid that this piece represents, and I considered giving him a special power that involved falling off elevated terrain to capture his experience in these ladder matches. In the end it became too convoluted and I decided to just go with a few clicks of Leap/Climb. Exploit Weakness is a perfect fit for the Superkick, a finisher that can come out of nowhere and penetrate any defense to KO an opponent (especially late in the match, or in this case, late in the dial). I have very little positive to say about Michaels as a worker, but he did sing his own intro song, and what a song it is. He's got the moves... that really move 'em!
