You know which two wrestlers had some of my favorite matches but is often overlooked?
Shawn Michaels vs. British Bulldog 10.27.92 - Saturday Night's Main Event - Intercontinental Championship 03.06.95 - RAW 05.26.96 - Beware of Dog 06.23.96 - King of the Ring - WWE Championship 09.20.97 - One Night Only - European Championship And that's just their singles matches. They met god only knows how many times in Tag Matches and let's not forget their co-Rumble show off. They always seemed to steal the show. They had an incredible chemistry... |
Honestly, I sometimes wonder where HBKs career woudl be without Bret, Owen and Davey. His fueds and mathes with them defined his early career. and first title reign
|
I think, sadly, that people tend to see Shawn vs Davey more in the light of the personal BS that went on instead of the spectacular matches they put on. That SNME IC title match was the first time I ever unexpectedly saw a title change hands, and it did a lot towards making the product seem spontaneous and exciting for me.

yea, there Main Event IC Title match had an awesome finish. The plan was always to put the belt on HBK ever since Bret won the belt back at Mania. Bret suggested two matches to Vince to do the job at Summerslam. Obviously, one was the match we all saw and the other one was a Ladder Match with HBK. Vince opted for the Bulldog one, which was one of the greatest matches of all-time.
Bulldog became a temp babyface champ to put HBK over. |
Bulldog in 90's was amazing.
|
That Michaels/Bulldog match on SNME for the Intercontinental championship just may be my favorite match of all time. It was the first time I saw the uncovered turnbuckle spot and it actually played an integral role in the match.
|
Also, one of my favorite moments from the Beware of Dog feud:
DIANA: Shawn, you know you want me. HBK: With all due respect....please do not flatter yourself. (Diana takes a pause before slapping the shit out of Michaels.) HBK: Well...I guess we see who wears the pants in the Smith family. (The Bulldog pauses for a second before tackling Shawn, and a brawl ensues.) :heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart: |

Bulldog losing the title was a huge huge shock to me when it happened.
Nowadays it's clear that Brits only ever win titles in Britain and quickly lose them again. Most recent example was Regal and Eugene winning the tag titles. Came back from the commercial break and they ended up losing them again. |
Didn't they fight in the Ocean one time or some shit?
