ROUND ONE: Shawn Michaels (1) vs. Andre the Giant (8)

[Kirbi]

I had to nail my colours to the mast though. Also, Andre was a gent.

Andre is the greatest giant of all time. He was arguably more important than Michaels in his prime, but he's just not on HBK's level. That'd be like comparing the giant, epic, important Gone With the Wind to a much smaller in scale but superior film such as Taxi Driver. There's just no cohesive argument that Taxi Driver and HBK aren't as good as Gone With the Wind or Andre... which are respectively large, but flawed chunks of greatness.
