The SummerSlam Sell-Job : Hulk Hogan vs Shawn Michaels

[@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.

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.

Stoked for today’s video. Just got my Wrestling Bios T-shirt yesterday and I’m looking to order more this week. Love the channel man! Thanks!

It's kinda funny that you talk about the story being covered to death. This is the first time I've heard it. I basically checked out of wrestling with the brand split. What I know about what happened after comes from watching Wrestling Bios.

I keep seeing all these retrospective videos and analyses about this match, yet I still have not seen the actual match in any form....

When will we get the official soundtrack for these videos ?! Man, I love the theme remakes used for this channel. My favorite channel on KZbin for sure 🤙🏻
