"I will make you pregnant with a pain baby" LOL I'm stealing that line, Adam. Sorry not sorry....

[@josueguillen1021]

But Bryan has credited Shawn many times himself. He often states that Shawn showed him the basics and regal polished him

[@atifqavi2054]

CM Punk: "All Shawn Michaels did was charge $2000 from him."

[@conradnewton5906]

In his book Bryan says it was Rudy Boy Gonzalez who taught him the most. Michaels showed up on occasion and didn't teach as much as people think, Bryan also said he would show up and sit in a chair not doing anything

[@undertakernumberone1]

hmm that reminded me... the playgirl posing was actually referenced in the 2006 feud DX VS Rated RKO... Triple H mentioned that Randy was the "number one downloaded superstar... atleast in the gay community" and then showed pics of randy just clad with a towe... "pictures like this".."or like this!"... "or like THIS" HBKs picture appeared at that point... the reaction was rather funny... "I WAS YOUNG! I WAS STUPID! YOU TOLD ME GIRLS BOUGHT THAT MAGACINE!"

[@MrCoffeechannel]

It was also referenced in Raw 1000 when Dx got together and billy gunn and Shawn were deciding who gets to say "suck it!" And triple H was like "you should let Shawn do it or he'll lose his smile again. He does dumb things when he loses his smile like pose for playgirl" or something along those lines lol

[@RichardGustason]

True story: There was a WWF show here in Colorado Springs and the Rockers took on the Brain Busters. Great match and Busters went over...BUT it was what my pre-teen eyes saw. The Broadmoor World Arena at the time decided we don't need no stinking curtains for the entrance way. So after the guys left the area. Both Shawn and Marty got into a shoving match right after they passed the entrance way going into the locker rooms. And I do mean RIGHT AFTER. Like one foot went down and then Shawn said something to Marty and then shoving until agents got in between the two. I thought "Wait...this was not part of the show.". Ah good times. Please leave your "cool story, bruh" comment below. :-)

I was literally working at the club in Syracuse (Club Chameleon) when he was beaten up by "Marines". This has ALWAYS been a cover story to keep his reputation - it was actually 1 Army Soldier from the 10th Ranger Mountain Division, which equates to several Marines in essence, but neither Xpac or British Bulldog (Both were present with Michaels) could stop the epic ass kicking that ensued.

[@CoolHandCody696]

The overall transformation of Shawn Michaels is incredible. Being so terrible in his behavior but showed love to his fans as if he’s a whole new guy. Until he actually gotten better with his life and became that kind man we know today.

[@gunykeck132]

Good list, but I would have also mentioned Shawn Michaels burying Vader at Summerslam. Vader would've been a badass heel champion. But then Shawn Michaels used his backstage power and put Vader on the long list of WCW guys who were wasted by the WWE.

[@kaylieadams466]

[@ashbeezone]

What about HBK overselling at Summer Slam 2005 against Hogan?

[@phillipwhite948]

+Ashish Bardhan Hogan pulled a #1 on Shawn by saying he was injured and could only do one match (the one he won) out of the planned three (which would ultimately have Shawn winning). His overselling was revenge for that.

[@quadjaysport]

+Phillip White the irony

[@phillipwhite948]

Johnny X I know, right?

[@metamofia]

+Ashish Bardhan That was a sweet moment because Hogan deserved the embarassment from HBK.

[@vdelrio999]

@Metamofia Ironic as Shawn held people down for "not loving the business enough". Not selling to Hogan is breaking kayfabe, nothing new to him (MSG curtain call).

[@Mistertbones]

Michaels didn't throw Jannetty through the window. Jannetty tried to dive through the window to escape in an act of cowardice.

[@SuperSonicShadow27]

One of the greatest in ring performers of all time, but he was a colossal pain in the ass in the mid 90s. He killed pushes, dropped titles without being pinned, including the tag team titles in 1994 that he held with Diesel, and got at least a handful of guys fired because he and his mates didn't like them. It's no wonder the Harris Brothers threatened to kick his ass before they left the company.

[@randominternetsurfersurfin7595]

Silly81 well that's like saying If Eddie didn't die wwe wouldn't have made the wellness policy. Just because something good came out of something horrible doesn't make the thing any less horrible.

[@BetaoftheBass]

this was a great video! you may have to do a part 2! XD

[@kylehayden4885]

Thank you this video took long enough to happen

[@frylock97]

One thing they always leave out is not something they want you to forget, but rather something they want us to remember differently (not the first or last time for that). For a long time WWE loved to go on and on about Shawn's Royal Rumble win, where he entered at number 1 and went all the way. While that is true and that is no small feat, what they always leave out was that at that Rumber people entered ever minute as opposed to every two. So Michaels was in the ring for about 30 mins (again, so small feat). But when you consider that Rick Martel, Greg Valentine, Million $ Man, and of course Ric Flair all lasted that long or longer in pervious rumbles, it isn't as impressive as they want you to believe.

[@user-kq7rf6uq4m]

Exactly, they never mention that it was by far the shortest rumble ever.

[@joshuailes7040]

Trish Drew Faggot? No that is charisma, plus have you ever watched the PPV Vengeance 2005, if so I think you'll find Shawn Michaels actually defeated Kurt Angle. He is the greatest of all time, no everyone says the definitive greatest but most people will definitely say he is among the greats. Results are pre determined that's why Angle beat HBK, he probably would win also in a real fight. But professional wrestling is about performance, look at Shawn v Bret Hart in the one hour iron man match and then you'll truly see why he's among the greats. Plus he eliminated Angle from the 2005 Rumble so that's 2-1 as although Angle eliminated Michaels he was already out and sneaked in to eliminate him.
