The Iron Man Match: Shawn Michaels tells it all about Wrestlemania XII

[@jerbridges300]

HBK is a legend! So happy to see him with these guys!

Other than Michael Jackson this man right here HBK was my childhood hero and idol growing up, even to this day he's still my hero😂😂💔

[@JohnSmith-nf8bi]

Do you think michael Jackson did any of the pedo stuff?

[@310bound]

Lol both named Michael

Same with both. Glad I got to see MJ in concert, and HBK live in action.

Love seeing Shawn Michaels here. I meet him at WWF New York in 2002, when he came out in the wheelchair for the match with Triple H. I was the guy in a red shirt holding this big ass frame of one of his playgirl photos, the one where he is sitting in jeans with one leg up and look at the camera make those HBK faces he makes lol. And when I saw the playback, I noticed they blurred out the photo and really never knew why until I saw, what WWE wants you to forget, and that’s that he posed for play girl. He looked at it twice but kept in with his promo. He then later on did a signing and I was able to meet him, and wrote a biblical verse under his signature. The girl friend I was with cried when we met him and he said, “I hope those are tears of joy.” I know he had this issues but I truly love this dude for every piece of entertainment he gave us. Julian Edelman as one of my favorite receivers of all time, who played my all time favorite QB Tom Brady, thank you for this.

Came from WMBD with Julian as guest. Just want to say, this podcast was so much better with Morril. He adds the fan view and also the comedic breaks. I miss this version.

[@be_regular8670]

HBK really the 🐐

If by HBK you mean Bret Hart then I agree😁

Shout out to Sam And Julian. This is great podcast and I'm late to the party.. why didn't you ever promo this one.. still love you bro.. now that Julian is retired seeing the nonfootball side of him is great. He has the Rizz as the kids say

[@MatthewBuchanan-l1r]

Absolutely you got to score this one high because not only was it the first Iron Man match in WWE at Wrestlemania you have two pioneers of their time when wrestlers we're not High Flyers both of these guys put on a show for the ages on the grandest stage of the all Main Eventing WrestleMania for the Title. Also Shawn Michaels was the first ladder match in WWE history again showing off how talented he was. In the ladder match he defended his Intercontinental Championship successfully accounts Razor Ramon. Also Shawn Michaels was the first to participate in Hell in a Cell against Taker. Shawn is one of the greatest to ever do it and a true pioneer of what we see today. But you definitely have to put it into perspective when watching these matches because they were the first compared to today where it is commonplace. Sometimes over done

[@PTminatoPT]

Actually the very first ladder match in WWE was Bret vs Shawn when Bret pitched the idea of a ladder match to Vince!

[@tdagarim10]

How is this podcast not blowing up faster than it is?

[@trentaccid2177]

Basically everyone watching this think these two guys are like gayish . There is something about them you just don't like. Notice the beard guy with jeans on the way he crosses his legs .

Besides Shawn vs bret this was the worse WM ever! These guys clearly no nothing about wwf/wcw

[@aaronjackson9385]

It really was..it was amazing..flawless execution, logical attacks, great transitions and ebbs and flows.

[@gunotlucio]

lol Julian talking about getting suspended for doing the dx suck it gesture. I know we ask got a story about it. My favorite story was when the suck it gesture was well old by time I got to high school in 06 and we had a school assistant in a wheelchair and he would help Native kids like myself out and get us to understand and focus on work. So I see him rolling down hallway kinda far and I hell my homie imma get Scott and I do the suck it 🙅🏽🙅🏽 all fast to sorta see if he understood the reference so I can see his reaction. He keeps rollin towards us and does it back but it looked so much smoother then mine.

Back in the day, Raw was 9-11.. it eventually went to 8-11... but even 11 pm was not a dead stop time, sometimes the show would run 5-10 minutes over.

[@This_is_not_taylors_verion]

Never seen aJulian Edelman podcast but with Shawn Michaels I have too. Also Julian Edelman (underrated receiver) I'm interested to see who else you get one

[@IntrlScoe]

What a legend and a stand up human being first match I could remember watching was a Monday Night Raw (think this was 1995) when Owen Hart kicked him in the back of the head and Shawn had an "concussion" man my ass cried my eyes out.. From that point on, I was hooked to WWF.

[@AndyK2K]

Hey Jules, what about Undertaker vs Mankind WWE Hell in the Cell 👍👍

Love him giving Tully some props ❤

[@sweetchinmusic6358]

[@puzzlepiecemedia]

Talking about rebooking it....I think it'd be awesome to have the only fall be a quick roll up or small package like 1 minute in and that be the final score.

[@raulgarciaperez9064]

I follow you from Spain. Here we loved Triple H jeff Hardy, Batista. Even there was a rumour that said Undertaker and Kane were brothers from Spain, I don´t konw how it started. BTW Edelman is a crack, funny guy hehe. It woud be huge a program with Gasol brothers about the all star they played together.

A regular match is an episode of friends. This match was a novel on par with The Stand.

[@jonloffredo6889]

You guys forgot to ask Shawn if he told Bret, to leave the ring in not so nice language lol

[@tygodhumbling4446]

Lol I think Bret brought it up in their interview with JR. I believe Shawn said he didn’t remember but it’s obvious that he said it. However some people pointed out that it looked like he intended it to be for Jose and that the referee misunderstood and thought it was for Bret. You can see him glancing at Jose as he entered the ring while he says it. The referee then looked at Jose and hesitated before going to Bret instead. It looked like he was confused on who the message was for. He also went to tell the referee the same thing again just after the ref told Bret that. Unless he wanted them both out.

[@someguymatt]

This is dope!!

[@BenT1620]

I was Hitman guy too. Shawn Micheals back then hes whole character was a male stripper.

[@sostdm617]

Remember when Shawn threw Marty Jannetty through the glass in Brutus The Barber Beefcakes shop on WWF Superstar lol little did we know that one was going to be a Superstar and legend and Marty become irrelevant

[@kevinmcclintock5492]

Marty threw himself through that window. Heenan called it! Lol.

[@jeremylundeen9798]

Stone Cold started the attitude era. Bret is the one who made Stone Cold. The I quit/submission match. Austin passes out bloody in the sharp shooter. Hart and Austins rivalry started the attitude era.

[@ZingyLemur]

Shit stone cold started the attitude Era at King Of The Ring when Austin 3:16 was born. You had Austin an Brets fued but you got to remember with DX when it was just Shawn hunter an Chyna they brought the really edgy stuff to tv.

[@BenTIStudios]

Shawn and Bret were pretty close to the time period. Now mindset yes very different.

I appreciate the research but you guys could’ve done a lot better. But I guess I’m gonna be harsh about this match considering I’m a wrestling fan.

Mad respect to wrestlers in this era , honestly i didnt like shawn micheals back in the day mostly cuz of his music. Being older now i like you now shaun M.

[@LeoWhalen1933]

The "gameplay" (workrate) was 11 out of 10. The stakes and name werent that high. The talent is unmatched in my opinion. Doesnt get much better than bret and shawn for 60 minutes.

He called NXT next hahahaha

So I love Julz, Bostonian, YES, guilty. He's training like an amateur or novice would. 3-3min rounds, usually is what an amateur fight consists of. Ton of respect, tho I don't think he needs anymore head shots.

18:13 jesse the ventura jackson. hahaha

[@axelaliens153]

Having more wrestlers would be good.

[@Spaceman1968]

I think the better match was the wrestlemania match between Ricky steamboat in macho man Randy savage. Think both competed and I thought macho man has a advantage with lady Elizabeth being in his corner but Ricky steamboat prevailed in the end. I think if you have 10 matches macho man may win 78 and just at night Ricky steamboat prevails

[@jppennypincher9051]

Oh wow! Cool! Edelman’s winning me over here.

[@axkirby]

I had the same pillows

[@chriscarr6226]

Hate to be that guy but their facts are all distorted here. Good show but you can tell these guys aren't long term wrestling fans.

[@ayeshablack]

I didn't want to say anything either because I enjoyed this interview, but their facts are totally off.

[@evanflowforever6615]

Good job. Edelman was an all time wide receiver. 3 rings and no HOF??? Ok. I have only seen two others near as good in the slot: Wes Welker and Antonio Brown. I would take Edelman

[@GlennDubski88]

Before or after the steriods he got suspended for?

[@joshtassie9478]

I love Edelman too... but we forget what Welker did and was... he created the slot receiver..... we never heard the slot till wes..... go look back at dudes stats 112,111,123,86,122,118 then Tom took a pay cut to keep his guy and bill let him go to denver!!!! That's how edleman was created.... cause bill saw a cheaper guy that would take the hits to be Tom's friend lol..... if they resign Wes for 3 years he has another 300 catches and we don't get to see what Julien could become

[@devangpatel5227]

i don't understand the big deal about the iron man match concept. i mean, not that i don't respect it, but bret was having those iron man matches throughout the 90's with flair, owen, and curt henning. maybe it was b/c he was older by the time he did it with shawn?

[@KylePrime_1986]

Bret was definitely going 30 maybe even 45 mins but in the WWF they didn't do 60 mins. The NWA days the champion would usually go do an hour because they still had time limits and world title matches were 60 minute time limits and it was a way to have a draw so neither guy lost any momentum

[@therealCamoron]

Gotta love two guys who don't know what the hell they're talking about, talking about it anyway. Shawn wasn't a heel here, Bret was a 3 time Champion going into this, and he and Shawn didn't hate each other yet (that came later). Please do some better research.
