Mr. McMahon vs Mr. WrestleMania - The Vince McMahon and Shawn Michaels Rivalry

Towards the end of 2005 the WWE released a Bret Hart documentary. On an episode of Raw Vince McMahon watched the whole presentation and he went to the ring to gloat about screwing Bret at Survivor Series 1997. When Shawn Michaels told Vince that maybe Mr. McMahon should move on and grow up Vince became irate. For the next few months McMahon would do everything to make Shawn's life difficult (even attempting to get Shawn to walk out of the WWE) but Michaels stayed put and eventually McMahon would face Shawn in a match at WrestleMania.
Shawn Michaels vs Vince McMahon at WrestleMania 22 turned out a lot better than expected, but the rivalry wouldn't end after the Mania encounter.

[@darthroden]

That backstage moment with Shawn and Vince was one of the best. The way Vince sounded like the Devil literally trying to tempt Shawn back to the Dark Side and Shawn standing on principle and refusing. The delivery between both guys, especially McMahon, was pure gold. The match at Wrestlemania later that year was one of the best of the night. Between Shawn overcoming the odds, doing the DX sign at the top of the ladder before diving off, and Jim Ross' hilarious commentary that night, one of my all-time favorite Mr. Wrestlemania moments.

The commentary from Jim Ross during the HBK and Mr. McMahon match at WrestleMania 22 was pure gold.

[@ernieb352]

To think this was part of Shawn's small return run, the guy didn't think it would go beyond the Triple H rivalry and here we are in 2006, already 4 years after his return in 2002, and still 4 years away from his actual retirement, and it's incredible to see all the things he did in those 8 years specially when in "Reliving The War" we're about to reach the Casket match that almost ended his career but only took 5 years from it, and we're left wondering how the Attitude Ear would have been with Shawn Michaels around.

[@lexkanyima2195]

But Bret Hart had a huge part

[@dannyboswell7188]

@@lexkanyima2195 Bret had next to zero to do with Shawn’s second run. Aside from a minor story line here n there. A mention of the “screw job” here n there. Bret was never has good as some people like to think. Yea he was talented in the ring. But his promos were cringy. Hell his ring attire was cringy. He failed in the wwe. Failed in the wcw (which is hard to do) (they literally were taking all ex WWF guys at that time , hogan, hall, Nash, flair , macho man , they just wanted to recycle wwfs glory/ pathetic really). It’s why they ended up with Goldberg. A dollar store knock off stone cold that sunk them with short boring matches. Bret didn’t help Shawn in any way. Hbk was the better wrestler. In ring performer. And it ate Bret up. Bret screwed Bret for being Bret. Good but not good enough. There’s a reason why Shawn has as many match of the years has be does

I'd say that the nickname of Mr Wrestlemania is too extravagant. A fitting nickname for Shawn

[@poindextersheelturn436]

Because HBK just gave himself the name and it stuck. Its was just sh+t tallking at first which then became a thing.

[@aaryanairy756]

[@wolfmerc11]

That WM match was cathartic for sure. I can only imagine how the whole feud was conceptualised: Vince: It's a real shame you didn't get to work with Eddie at Mania this year. You have anyone else in mind? Shawn: Ahhh (waves his hand) you know me Vince, give me anyone you want. I can make them look good, no sweat. Vince: Anyone, huh? (with a gleam in his eye) Shawn: 🤨 Sure... Vince: Maybe even... me? (with a big grin stretched across his face) Shawn: 😦🙄😒 Vince: You'll get to give me stiff shots. Shawn: When do we start? 😊

[@sirnoname6943]

Not sure Shawn would come up wit the idea to join the kiss my ass club

[@mrawesome669]

Excellent work 🤘 Thank you so much for making this! One of my favourite storylines of this entire era. Funny story, this was around the final years of me still being a kid and believing kayfabe to a degree. I absolutely HATED Vince for treating my favourite hero Shawn like this. I could not wait for Shawn to finally be able to fight him at Wrestlemania and get his revenge. Seeing Vince get absolutely annihilated was one of the most cathartic things I had ever experienced at that age. The absolute best magic that this business can offer, I was extactic. Helps remind me, that it's not always workrate and 5 star matches that creates the magic of pro wrestling. Even a horriblely uncoordinated person like McMahon can create moments you'll remember for life with the assistance of a captivating story that truly invests you and has you begging for a happy ending.

[@canuckj8382]

17:43 A night that changed my life. My first ever wrestling show I watched. Shawn Michaels became my favorite wrestler because of this moment. Obviously not knowing anything about wwe, I didn't know that he was one of the greatest of all time. I related to Shawn vs Vince so much because I became miserable at school and I imagined that Shawn, and later HHH, were me and my best friend, Grant, against all of the "evil" teachers. Completely childish. But most definitely a start of one of favorite passions for the next 15 years.

Kinda wild that we got this one match because of Eddie Guerrero's unfortunate passing, as Guerrero vs Michaels was pitched as a possibility for Mania 22.

True, it might have been a callback to the St. Valentine's day massacre match between Vince and Austin.

Looking back, I appreciate now how amazing Shawn Michaels is. Back then it was during the time when new stars Cena, Orton, Edge, Bautista were main eventers, and one would have thought Shawn was past it, but he was simply brilliant. His victory over Cena on Raw in 2007 (if I remember correctly) is the best match I've ever seen, I remember thinking that match should have been at Wrestlemania or something. To me, Shawn Michaels' legendary status was made in this era

Loved that you covered this feud, especially the beginning portion leading to WM 22 ( First one I ever attended. ) 2006 WWE has this odd blackmark by it for a lot of online fans, and I can partially understand why--- but it does seem overblown for the most part. I loved that year, and have great memories of it. One thing, tho for anyone who hasn't seen the Vince v HBK match live it was fun, but JR commentary was vitriolic and hilarious. Special shout to JR talking about Vince's boardmeetings in hell after he dies and takes over. Lmao.

[@jasoncoward-aintscared]

Dude, I was at that Raw. Beaumont TX. My wife and I had just been married and she surprised me with the tickets. I had never been to a wrestling event. It made me appreciate the home viewing experience. Anyway, she wasn't a fan. But she had fun. I remember the setup in the ring for the urine test. My wife is trying to ask me whats happening. Its so loud, she's next to me and I say very loudly "He's doing a piss test". And as I said it, the arena fell silent and all eyes were on me. Im kidding. I had to basically scream and she could still barely hear me. This is the first time I've seen a wrestle tube channel cover that night. Good times man. I miss them. Thats what I remember most. The incredible loudness and the heat. Kane had an entrance, I swear its like a gust of volcanic wind passed through us. I guess the combo of pyro and electronics made that bitch so warm.

HBK's second run in the wrestling industry is quite inspiring and a miracle.

With the introduction of DX, we came close to HBK being "the" rival of McMahon instead of Austin. I think the screwjob really ruined the possibility of that angle flying.
