How can you not love The Big Guy?
Anyone who thinks HBK wasn't great on the mic needs to look at his OG Dx stuff. His promos from 1997/98 and 2005 are up there with Flair, Foley, Austin, Rock, and Terry FUnk. Probably because he legitimately hated the guys he was working with
Not saying Shawn did have some really good moments on the mic..And I'm sorry but there's no HBK promo, or group of promos, that can put him on the level of Flair, Austin, Foley, or the Rock..And that's why I can never give Shawn a 10/10 rating..His mic work isn't even in the top 20..
Can you name 20 wrestlers with better mic skills than him? I think maybe some people down grade him because of the boring promos he gave from 2002-present but when Shawn was on almost nobody could touch him.
I think people have the 2006-2010 DX too fresh on their minds to appreciate DX at their peak they were just as awesome as the NWO. That original VHS they had was great, paled in comparison to when they reformed in 06, acting like the Outlaws, X-PAC and Chyna had nothing to do with them

HBK is a charismatic mofo. I think that leads most to remember him being a better talker than he really was.
Flair, Foley, Rock, Austin, Piper, Punk, Jericho, Angle, HHH, Ted Dibiase, Jesse Ventura, Dusty, Cena, Jake the Snake, Macho Man, Hogan, Vince McMahon, Edge, Heel Bret, Hall, JBL, Lawler, Booker T, DDP were all better imo. Some are arguable, most aren't.
That being said, HBK's general charisma and in ring work are virtually unrivaled.

Half your list I agree with. The other half are head scratchers.
Edge? No way in hell is edge touching HBK.
Booker T?
Hall?
JBL?????

I wasn't watching wrestling during that 06-10 time period, so I'm not even thinking about that at all.I think people have the 2006-2010 DX too fresh on their minds to appreciate DX at their peak they were just as awesome as the NWO. That original VHS they had was great, paled in comparison to when they reformed in 06, acting like the Outlaws, X-PAC and Chyna had nothing to do with them
