Perhaps the greatest measure of Michaels’ legacy is his uncanny ability to perform his best on the biggest stages. He has won the Royal Rumble Match twice and has headlined WrestleMania more times than the Immortal Hulk Hogan. HBK didn’t compete in the first Ladder Match, but he put them on the map with his WrestleMania X war against Razor Ramon over the Intercontinental Championship. He didn’t win the match, butat the end of the night, no one was talking about the loss. They were talking about Michaels and the amazing risks he took during the bout.

Michaels’s main research and teaching interest is in combining comparative law, conflict of laws, and legal theory under the guise of globalization into a theory of global legal pluralism. Currently, he is working on a book that will lay down a general theory of jurisdiction for an age of globalization. At Duke, he teaches conflict of laws, comparative law, and various seminars on law and globalization.

Michaels along with broadcasting partner, Ken Dryden, recreated their Olympic commentary in the 2004 movie Miracle. Although Michaels and Dryden recreated the bulk of their commentary for the film, the closing seconds of the game against the Soviet Union used the actual original ABC Sports commentary from 1980. Gavin O'Connor, the director of Miracle, decided to use the last 10 seconds of Michaels' original "Do you believe in miracles?" call in the film because he felt he couldn't ask him to recreate the emotion he experienced at that moment. Thus they cleaned up the recording to make the transition to the authentic call as seamless as possible.
