The SummerSlam Sell-Job : Hulk Hogan vs Shawn Michaels

[@lukecampbell801]

That last oversell with HBK getting knocked down with the big boot, getting up, flopping around, and falling down again gets me every time

[@joshdarius5995]

Fav moment of all time

[@michaelkeller5927]

I always thought Shawn did this for one of two reasons: he oversold so much that Hogan would hate the match and agree for a second then third match, or he oversold so nobody would remember Hogan won, they would remember Shawn.

[@dominiquejones3805]

I thought he did it 2 show how crazy it is 4 those powerful simple moves from a senior citizen is supposed 2 conquer everything

[@bullock4211]

You're absolutely right about the second reason. Everytime I think about this match and rivalry the first thing that comes to mind is the fake Larry King interview and Shawn's antics and overselling. Hogan winning the match is a distant afterthought for me.

[@Chukijay]

@@kyleerrington8004 to “sell” is to make the other wrestler’s move look ultra effective. A good example is when the Rock took a Stone Cold Stunner. He flopped and flipped all over the ring to make the Stunner look super effective and powerful. Hogan is regarded as being a wrestler that you either sucked up to and do what he wanted or you’d be raked through the coals and end up doing it anyway. He had a lot of creative control and ended up with a lot of “political” control in the organizations he was in.

The 2005 Montreal promo is the greatest in history. No one ever owned an audience like that before

I know it was unprofessional, but how funny was this ? 😂😂

Hulk deserved it

[@mikeberg6407]

One of the most entertaining matches in wrestling history

[@madamefeast4824]

It's one of my favorite matches lol. And Hogan absolutely deserved it

[@anthonyterry8162]

Why did he deserve it?

[@PlayStopRewindFilms]

@@anthonyterry8162 Hulk did some low ball tactics to many performers of the years do to his ego. Not saying shawn didn't but in this match shawn was younger and could work circles around hulk.

[@JoeyRocket]

This is my favorite Hogan match, full-stop. Shawn might be a prick, but he used his prick-powers to give us the best match he could've gotten out of Terry.

[@dominiquejones3805]

Hogans work was declining and HBK can get a match outta a pillow if he wants 2

[@Aragon23-p2k]

Shawn in this match was like in a washing machine with that selling

[@jeyDsixx18]

Shawn was flopping around like a fish out of water, in all the years watching him I’ve yet to see him sell like that for anybody, so he was completely hamming it up

[@jb888888888]

He was holding back for someone who truly deserved it. Interpret that any way you'd like.

[@Venemofthe888]

I think Shawn Michaels was given the short end of the stick but i do think Randy Orton the next year really needed the win over Hogan

[@chihollywood9379]

Orton coulda rode that win 4 majority of his career

[@davidcook680]

That is the problem with Hogan. He was a hundred years old. Still wanting to beat the best. It's like it's not even close to realistic. For some old fossil to best wrestlers in their prime. Already over or being put over.

[@deca2385]

I was there in attendance in Montreal that night. Watching the episode does not even scratch the surface on how crazy it was. I am from Toronto but my God Montreal fans whether it be hockey or anything else are the most vocal and passionate fans out there.

Hulk knew he had to back out . He couldn't up w Shawn on that Mic. Or in the ring. Shawn was telling the truth.

HBK did win, overall. He carried the feud, embarrassed Hogan and completely owned him in promos. Hogan's ''win'' was irrelevant in the end.

[@brandons6167]

19:22 Yeah, I remember how Triple H and The Rock were on the brink of becoming stars in WWE back in 2002. Just not quite there yet. Stone Cold, Undertaker, Jericho, Benoit, Guererro, Angle; they all tried their best, but Hulkster was the big win needed for those two to finally get over. Before them, Hogan only lost to the big names in wrestling. Don't forget his semi-clean loss to Randy Orton in 2006 just before winning that same match. Nobody thought a guy called "Legend Killer" could come close to defeating a 50+ wrestler in the prime twilight of his career.

[@malikhardy3511]

When you realize that since Hogan ego bumped HBK, HBK turned heel to say what a lot of wrestlers wanted to say & just about everything he said about Hulk is true lmaoo

[@Ario2547]

Like how Hogan was a prick backstage?! lmaoooooooo says Shawn Michaels.

[@MR.__G]

@@Ario2547 I guess you missed the point. Listen to the promo when he alluded to hogan being about the money & not delivering for the fans. Yes Shawn was an asshole but he always gave the fans their money’s worth & stoled the show countless of times.

"Got your hopes up just a little bit, didn't I?"

[@seanabbins5481]

This was informative. I didn't watch regularly during the "Ruthless Aggression" era, so I missed a lot of this. It does seem like Michaels did some terrific promos and got the feud over. I can't imagine too many 21st Century wrestlers being able to pull it off. It doesn't seem as though Michaels got heat from the office for his antics, as he was still used after the match. Perhaps the office was as disgusted with Hogan as Michaels was. One more thing I will say is that Michaels was better as a heel and cut better heel promos, so they were right to turn him; I don't think this feud would have held my interest as a babyface vs. babyface feud. If anything, it would have been cool to see if they were both heels and if Hogan could have been Hollywood Hogan against this version of Michaels.

[@jonhildahl9982]

I was just making that comment when your narration covered it, both Rock & Undertaker were already 'over' when they wrestled Hogan...if anything Brother, they did you a favor.

The montreal thing where Shawn Michaels trolled the audience into thinking Hart would appear is one of wrestlings finest moments. Every time i rewatch it i get pumped up for Bret to appear and everytime i get dissappointed by it. Regardless of my knowledge and after seing it 50 times it always gets me and that is thanks to Michaels selling and absolute savagery. I love it.
