Best in ring gear in wrestling history. Once he fully became The Heartbreak Kid and changed his gear to the broken hearts he nailed it. The only way a guy could look tough with hearts on his pants.

I just want to say, part of what makes your channel so good is how much care you out into every single part of your videos. The effort you put into just the intro mix's pulls you in right away. You don't have to spend so much time on those intros but it really puts your content on a whole other level

Nobody never said Shawn was a terrible wrestler.. Dude can wrestle circles around a mop and get over... Dude was just an a__ to people in the back..

[@BEEyonced]

Trash Millenial Outing! 🗑️ 💩 He was NO jerk behind the scenes (1985/-) 1992-1994. He was denied and held under his talents because he's not coming from a Wrestling Family Nepotism or has insane physics like Ultimate Warrior, Undertaker, Yokozuna, Diesel and so many more who were made immediate Heavyweight Champions with way less effort and dues over the years! Everything has roots. Either he had to fight back on a policial scale or he would be one of the many Tito Santanas, Rick Martels, Tatankas, British Bulldogs, Lex Lugers.... even Mr Perfects who back in early 90s had a massive upper mid-card status; but almost forgotten by now! Forget in-ring, many can do impressive moves! Shawn always had the greatest charme and aura to work any mic naturally! From start it's the biggest appeal to him in a era that was packed to the brim with real Superstars late 80s/early 90s.

[@JadedJester739]

I was at that show in MSG where Diesel won the 8 sec championship! I remember it being a house show so its really cool to see footage of it after 25 years!

[@complexfellow4961]

After defeating Bret Hart, Bob Backlaund held the WWF title for 3 days. It seems Bret didn’t want to drop the title to Diesel

[@johnepants]

@@complexfellow4961 I don’t think Vince wanted his new baby face champion who just recently turned to beat the established baby face that everybody still loved. It made more sense to have Backlund be a transitional champion while getting his moment in the sun as a “thank you” for his contributions to the WWF

[@rossomac21]

@@complexfellow4961 considering Diesel's first title ppv defense was against Bret, it made sense that he not take the belt from Bret (plus as the above person said, he'd come off as a heel if he took the belt directly from the top babyface) I know I'm a year late with this but still no harm in it.

[@BEEyonced]

It'll always be my fav era as I started watching WWF somewhen in 1991 irregulary by only 1 family TV. Early 1992 I got my own TV in my room and was absolutely obsessed watching every week. Out of possibly the best roster in 1991/1992, I picked Shawn in early 1992 as MY VERY FAV! What a fairy tale of a career. I'm not to keen once Diesel appeared, it just feels wrong! But for him it was truly necessary, who knows if else he had not gone down at the political round table! It's a blessing he never had to leave to WCW like most guys back n forth. It's a testimony of perseverance and struggling the way up the honest way!

To me Sherri was a big part of building up Shawn in his start as a singal guy making him into a star. It worked well as kayfabe was still in tact. The fans knew since Sherri was only seen with top heels like Macho King, and Ted. Then Shawn has to be just as good, legitimizing him as an upcoming top guy.

Bret was such a suck about losing to Micheals meanwhile Micheals lost many many matches to Brett early on.

[@studmuffin6630]

The deal was that Bret put over Shawn in Wrestlemania 13 and then Shawn would return the favor the following year. Shawn never did and lied saying he lost his smile forfeiting the belt instead of losing it that year also saying he has to retire because of career ending knee surgery. Then a little bit later he went back to wrestling doing back flips which rubbed a lot of wrestlers the wrong way.

[@johnepants]

I agree. People don’t realize that Shawn laid down for Bret consistently when Bret was on his way to the top of the card. Yeah, Shawn in 1997 was a major prick and Bret was in the right to rough him up a bit backstage, but in the end, Shawn did have a history of doing business for Bret, and Bret couldn’t get past their personal issues during 1997

[@ajsgaming8003]

@@studmuffin6630 it was actually wm 12 hart put hbk over and it was at 13 he was meant to return the favor, he never lied he went to his doctor (not a sports doctor) and was told the he would never wrestle again and he took it at face value it was not until vince convinced shawn ta go see Dr Andrews That he learned that with rehab that he would be ok to wrestle thats why he did not wrestle till a few weeks b4 king of the ring 97 and even then it was in tag matches with stone cold (when they won the tag titles) the reason shawn was pissed at hart was coz 1.hart was slagging shawn off and slagging his family off 2.shawn lost to hart loads of times at house shows when hart was on the way up, hart was meant to lose to hbk in house shows in 96-97 but refused and instead after wm went home and set up a meeting with wcw to try and get a better deal with vince. maybe you should check the facts b4 you comment with b.s that you here from others and hearsay

Great video as always! A small detail I always find interesting is that when Bret vs. Shawn was first advertised for Survivor Series, neither man held any gold and it was just a mid-card match. When Bret won the WWF title it lifted the whole mid-card into championship contention, and it could be said Shawn benefitted here (both kayfabe and IRL) by suddenly finding himself in the main event. Of course, in the week before the match he went and won the IC title (originally Bulldog was advertised to defend against Mountie). Oct-Nov 1992 was such a crazy couple of months in the WWF!

HBK is one of those weird anomalies in wrestling, a tale of two careers if you will. As much as I love the man who came back for his 2002-2010 run I despise the little prick we had in 1995-1998 who really got his beginnings in 1993, The frustrating thing about Shawn is that he really was that good in the ring, it was his backstage antics is what soured him and it didn't help that Vince McMahon was so "Ambiguously" enamored with the guy.

[@BEEyonced]

Gosh! Can't you ppl not think at all opposite to how history turned out! Shawn Michaels got robbed of a good Tag Champions run with the Rockers throughout 3 yrs! All his career a Babyface, he didn't bitch 1% about his upcoming heel turn like Brett Hurt for damn addtl merchandise bucks! 🤕 Shawn had to lose so many matches or win unfair it's ridiculous. He was held down by other powers like Wrestling Family Nepotism or favorising the big, fat, tall guys just for physics! No one talking about that! Before all these lil crybaby old wrestlers and their so-called shoot interviews for last grasp of relevance, do you honestly think there was not the same amount of hate and jealousy towards Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior e.g. YEAH it's a UNFAIR testosterone business with very few top spots that breed jealousy and rivalry! If Shawn hadn't balanced group dynamics and eventually won he would be one of the many Tito Santanas, Rick Martels, Tatankas, Lex Lugers.. heck even Mr Perfects! Then you could have enjoyed 10 more boooooooring Bret Hart years and the hate would be upon him! Personally I've had enough of his ever same pink plastic glasses act by 1993 (/after 2 years)!
