Unprofessional Pricks
 

So, I'm just sitting here thinking about how unprofessional Shawn Michaels was throughout his career.

Among other things:
The Curtain Call
Michaels vs. Hogan
Refusing to drop belts multiple times
Vader vs. Michaels, where Shawn comes off the top rope, Vader doesn't move, then just stomps the piss out of Vader, telling him to move
Showing up to tapings coked up (I've only heard of this being a bad case after 98 but before he returned in 2002)

Over all, he's been a pretty big Unprofessional Prick. He's quite possibly the biggest one the WWE has ever seen. And he'll admit this himself.

With this in mind, list some more "unprofessional pricks", along with their "Accomplishments of Prickdom" and who you feel is the biggest Unprofessional Prick of them all.

Warrior, Holly, Saturn to varying degrees.

Michaels vs. Hogan was awesome.

Pretty sure Orton's to be found here. Backstage bullshit and discharge dumbass.

I think you're referring to the night WWF bought WCW.

Huh?

I think we found a glitch in the DLVH84 bot.

The incident Xero is referring to when Shawn was showing up coked up.

DLVH may be talking about the time he was sent home. But as CSL said, it was more than once.

Drugged up, in general.

I think Hulk Hogan is pretty unprofessional. So was Kevin Nash, Scott Hall and Eric Bischoff during their WCW days.

Examples: Not giving the ball to anybody else and thinking the spotlight is all about them.

Jeff Hardy showing up at the main event of a TNA PPV in no condition to perform, causing the main event to go 90 seconds due to his opponent not taking that shit.

Hulk Hogan in general, Bash at the Beach 2000 and Halloween Havoc 1999 come to mind particularly. Hulk Hogan refused to lose cleanly so it ended up screwing up the PPV completely. Another unprofessional that most people may not know about it Jim Herd. He was in charge of WCW in 1991 and he believed that Ric Flair's days were over so he wanted him to shave his head and adopt a Gladiator gimmick. He completely refused to compromised with Flair about the world title situation so he fired Flair thinking he wasn't a main eventer anymore

Hulk Hogan. :yes:

Sid always leaving to play softball is pretty retarded. Unprofessional prick, fuck him!

Verne Gagne for not listening to his son Greg and many others about changing with the times, which eventually led to the demise of the AWA.

uh,

shawn not wanting to lose to davey boy in the u.k in a match dedicated to Davey's dying sister.

Shawn refusing to put Bret Hart over in a match at WM13. I lost my smile.

Teddy Hart doing a high spot move to get out of the ring after supposedly being knocked out by a finisher.

Shawn michaels refusing to lose to Austin until taker started taping up his fists

Shawn Michaels stuffing somethig down his trunks and then jumping up and down in the ring.

Shawn michaels - cycling shorts - a crime against humanity

Shawn Michaels - sunny days comment

Bischoff giving away raw results

hunter stiffing owen hart with a crutch during a shawn vs owen match

Vince - montreal, firing Jeff jarret on tv, interviewing pillmans wife the day after the day he died, not stopping the show after owen died.

Kevin Nash. The dude shows up at PPV's for companies he doesn't even have jobs at. What a prick.

God, how did I forget this one?! So unprofessional of him.

Verne the dick.

Much of what you said isn't unprofessional, these are just dick moves.

Teddy also not telling the guys he was working with what he was doing, just flipping.

Perfect answer. Also another reason why CM Punk is god, for slapping the piss out of him in response.

There's a few more things why Verne Gagne was unprofessional.

1. Tried to take money and forced marriage to Hulk Hogan, in exchange for a title reign, which Hogan refused.

2. Tried paying off Iron Sheik to break Hogan's leg.

3. Broke off the Pro Wrestling USA collaboration, because he was so paranoid that he accused NWA's David Crockett of stealing his talent.

4. Refused to pay wrestlers for Super Clash III, which was why Jerry Lawler kept the belt.

5. Selfishly used the money to run the AWA to fight a legal battle concerning property he owned in Lake Minnetonka.

"CM Punk is a great guy because he did what he said he was going to do. He said he was going to slap the taste out of my mouth, and he walked up to me and slapped the taste out of my mouth."

It's easy to take a pop at DLVH84, but I always wonder if he deals with everything with lists. I picture his house littered with thousands of pieces of paper scrawled with lists. There's even lists drawn on the wall where he didn't have paper, or didn't have time to find paper when these lists 'come to him'. His bathroom reeks from the shit smeared on the wall to form barely legible lists.

Austin for walking out of WWE in 2002.

Hulk Hogan. :yes:

Does anyone have any specific videos of any of these Teddy Hart incidents? Was looking on youtube, but mostly only found promos and tribute videos.

John Morrison and Melina

Bret Hart not doing the right thing and dropping the belt to HBK

Bret Hart stiffing HBK numerous times during their Iron Man match

I remember that, because I was there in Atlanta, where he refused to put Brock Lesnar over on RAW.

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

Bret should have dropped the belt. But everybody blows Bret here so your response isn't surprising.

He rarely ever has a point, but "hear" he does.

And totally on the money too.

ugh, I recognized that and hoped to fix it before anybody noticed.

Both guys were in the wrong. There.

Shawn was protecting his company. Bret had nothing to lose and everything to gain.....yet WCW managed to screw that up, well half of the reason, the other half being Bret's not a big a star as people think.

It ws a special set of circumstances. So, by usual standards of "doing business" he was in the wrong/being unprofessional.

Take into consideration that he was being asked to leave the company and he had to drop to a guy that was notorious for "not doing business" and it's not as black and white.

Factor in same guy explicitly said he'd never drop it for Bret if the situation was reversed and furthermore add in that Vince McMahon gave Bret Hart creative control over how he left the company.

Bret didn't do business and refused to do what his boss told him to, thought he was god in Canada and it would shatter the little hearts of every kid in the hallways who ever screamed BREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET.

HBK was a whiny little bitch, coked up, pilled up, and had the worst mullet ever. If he wasn't a primadonna, maybe Bret would have done business right.

The only person who did what they were supposed to was Hebner.

CM Punk was getting his picture taken with Stone Cold.

Not exactly true, Taker was apparently taping his fists/threatening Michaels to make sure HBK did go through with it given his rep and umming and ahhing at the time

he hit him with a crutch no differently to how anybody else would have hit him with a crutch.

The same Jarrett that held Vince up for $250,000 before a PPV, the same Melanie Pillman that could have said no and the Over The Edge/Owen thing was an impossible situation.

Angle seems a bit of a sulky prick, that Daniel Puder thing comes to mind.

Also, no JBL mention, wtf.

Yes it is. The WWF was losing a ton of money. Bret just walking into the ring after beating their top star and just handing the belt over would have killed the company. Stop making excuses for this over-rated bitch.

JBL for being a bully.

Bob Holly for being a bully.

Yeah that's about as intelligent and thought out a response as we're used to from you.

I can't believe we're doing Montreal again.

Completely irrelevant. How many jobs can you think of where you don't have to do what the job requires because you don't like the guy you have to work with?

Straight from the "two wrongs make a right" box.

Now playing the "what if?" game. Nice.

Was not the phrasing "reasonable creative control?"

This pretty much sums up Bret Hart for me: "Hi kids, I'm Bret Hart, your Canadian hero, and I just want you to remember, when something doesn't go your way, you should hit someone in the face. Oh and destroy thousands of dollars of their property too."

Making a thread filled with rumors and absolutely no solid, substantial fact (that can be verified through direct witness).

Yay gossip.

I would say that mine is verifiable.

Yours is.

I knew this thread would turn into Montreal Screwjob Debate #548906734890573.

Wasn't Austins issue that the match, the 1st between the two, was on TV rather than PPV?

We haven't had one in like 2.5 years though.

We were due for one.

Yes, it was going to be a King Of The Ring qualifying match on Monday Night RAW on TV that night.

And the fact that the match was not saved for Pay-Per-View, really pissed him off.

I'm not sure, but it's still not an excuse for walking out on the company.

I see his point though even if walking out was a bit dramatic.

Hulk Hogan. :yes:
