Criticism
Despite the high quality of matches presented on the DVD, wrestling fans and reviewers are quick to point out the multitude of 'classic' matches from Michaels' career that were omitted. It is felt that because Bret Hart and Ric Flair were provided with a 'definitive' collection of their greatest matches on DVD, Michaels, who's career has span 23 years, 19 of which have been with the WWE, deserves the same privilege. Notably, his matches against Marty Jannetty on RAW in June 1993, the British Bulldog at King of the Ring 1996, Vader at SummerSlam 1996, with Stone Cold Steve Austin against the Hart Foundation in June 1997, and Bret Hart at the Survivor Series 1997 were all absent, despite each being worthy of addition. The fact that there were only 7 matches featured on the DVD from Michaels' illustrious career subjects the DVD to continual criticism. However, the WWE is planning to release a second Shawn Michaels DVD in the near future.
