I remember an article sometime ago that wwe.com (I think) did with The Rock. They asked him a question like would he ever be interested in competing against guys he never had the chance to like Cena, Mysterio, HBK, etc. The Rock had positive responses for all of the listed guys except Michaels. He said something along the lines of not having any desire to do an angle with Shawn because of his past antics and bullshit (I'm assuming from 96' - 98' when these guys would have shared a locker room) and that he basically had no respect for HBK.

I gotta say though, that would be one hell of a match!

If that was on WWE.com, they had obviously planned a program for those two.

Any other way I seriously doubt it was WWE.com.

But I haven't heard anything about heat between the two.

Basically when Rocky debuted, HHH and Michaels (especially the latter) shit all over him and picked on him purely because he was a new guy and that Bret Hart took a shine to him. If you remember Bret Hart wrestling Rocky in April 1997, Michaels told Vince to book this match and put the IC title on Bret basically to serve two purposes - Depush Rocky and Bret (if Bret had the IC belt, he'd be out of world title picture). Bret however refused to go over and wanted to lose to Rocky but Michaels went nuts and Vince had to settle on a DQ. Within weeks, Vader was planned to win the belt from him but he got arrested in Kuwait so Owen Hart beat him instead.

Although they hated Rocky in part to HHH having to drop the IC belt to him, they forget that had Michaels not faked a knee injury, he would have lost the WWF title to Sid Vicious as planned and the IC title match wouldn't have even happened.

Rocky wasn't depushed any more after this because Bret continously went to bat for him.

Yeah so Rock doesn't have a short memory.

Shook hands with Bret on agreeing not to take public shots at each other and then the very next week (while Bret wasn't in the building mind you) accused Bret on national TV of having an affair with Sunny when he was the one who was tapping her ass behind Chris Candido's back.

Walked out on his contract after getting his arse kicked by Bret to go to a WCW show.

Was publically seen many a time wearing NWO t-shirts.

Refused to put over any of the Hart Foundation and then refused to work with all of them.

Refused to put over Davey Boy Smith in the first UK only PPV which was a show designed to build the new European title and new PPV's around Davey. Oh and Smith had also dedicated the match to his sister who was dying from cancer.

Refused to put Steve Austin over at Wrestlemania 14 on the day of the show after the whole build was to make Austin the star of the company. It took the Undertaker taping up his wrists and putting the threats on Michaels for him to lose. And he still did it in the most unprofessional manner possible.

3 tag title reigns - didn't lose any of them in the ring (although one was for storyline purposes).

3 intercontinental titles - lose 1 in the ring and that was to his buddy Marty Jannetty. 1 of those was also due to set up Shane Douglas as a world title challenger when Michaels won the belt.

1 European title - fake lost it to his pal HHH after point blank refusing to put Owen Hart over for the belt which was due to set up a world title program.
That's all I can remember right now.

4 world titles - refused to lose 1.

MSG incident

With his clique buddies, other wrestlers have said he constantly picked on lower card talent and cost certain guys their jobs - Bushwhackers, Chris Candido and the Harris twins to start with.

Oh and Montreal.

Fuck off. Pull your head out your arse dude. How come he claimed it was career ending and then was hoping around on that same knee a month later at Wrestlemania? Why did Dr. James Andrews say on Raw 4 days after Michaels made the announcement that the knee injury wasn't serious. Why hasn't there been any signs of reinjury of that same knee in 10 years?

Add me to the list of people who have heat with Michaels. Look at this interview with the Undertaker and what he says about Shawn.

The same can be asked about his back, considering he's still bumping and flying off turnbuckles and ladders. Hmmm....

Nah he was a total pro.

His buddy Triple H also thought so when 2 weeks before Wrestlemania 17, Michaels was meant to come in and shoot stuff to build for a match at that show between the two. Only he took a bunch of pills, passed out backstage and was sent home. Hunter then didn't speak to him for over a year.

The whole story about Undertaker wrapping his fists is a bullshit story too. I just don't understand why you always have to paint Shawn Michaels as Satan himself. If anybody says anything negative about Bret Hart, you tell them to pull their head out of there arse and rant about how Shawn Michaels was a prick.

How do you know the Taker story is bullshit?

If anyone said anything negative about Bret Hart or anyone else that was true then I'd agree. As for Shawn Michaels being a prick, yeah he was. He admits he was. Triple H admits he was. Everyone he knew him then says he was. The key word though is "was". Look it up. Not in the Shawn Michaels Playgirl issue either.

And while we are doubting each others comments - why is it that you think Shawn's knee injury was legit? Especially since just about everyone else thinks it was a load a shite and has legit points to back it up.

He's had several knee problems since his return in 2002. He just worked through them (unless of course this is just a lie because its Shawn Michaels we are talking about). Everybody is going off what they heard on the internet which is about as legit as a drug dealer running a rehab program. I'll believe Shawn Michaels' word before bitter internet fans and a bitter wrestler who still aren't over 1997.

Kurt Angle was also burying your boy toy on Bubba's show this morning. Just thought you might wanna email him saying how you don't believe him either and call him bitter.

Oh and I just watched an old clip of HHH on Off The Record with Michael Landsberg where he called Shawn Michaels a prick before turning to his Christian ways. Don't forget to email him too.

You are a lost cause. More lies in that book than I care to remember.

I'm done arguing with people who were 7 years old when this all went down anyway.

Good. I win via submission!

You are so biased against Shawn Michaels and biased for Bret Hart it is impossible to have an argument with you over anything to do with HBK or Bret Hart.

Rob, where do you get all this info, or is it just a case of remembering it over the years?

I'm genuinely interested in what Michaels got up to back in those days.

What did Kurt Angle say about Shawn today?

Remember most of it but nearly all of the info is available in most places. Shoot interviews, TV interviews, books (not autobiographies since all but Mick Foley's do nothing but put over the author), Wrestling Observer, Powerslam magazine (when it was good) are a few good places.

When it comes to stories from one person, you have to remember that is one side of the story. However, when 20 other people start saying the same thing... you know where I'm going with this.

Buried him for not being a team player by going to Smackdown when Batista got hurt and vacated the World title. Angle found out he was second choice and was also pissed that he had not long left Smackdown (he and Benoit have swapped as much as anyone) and Michaels had never done anything on Smackdown. He felt he did as much as he could there and needed fresh opponents and Michaels going over would have given him fresh opponents.

I'll check them out Rob, thanks.

As for Angle's comments. Got to agree, it would have been pretty good with HBK on SD.

There is a book called Sex, Lies and Headlocks which is pretty good. Don't remember how much it has about Shawn Michaels but most of the info in it about everything is quite accurate.

Brian Fritz' "Between The Ropes" book is very good too.

I believe Austin said in his book that the story was true.

Plus Taker admitted to it on live national tv up here, and Taker isnt exactly known to be a bullshitter.

Lots of wrestlers have claimed HBK was a royal pain in the asshole.

HBk first match back after the leg injury was like his greatest performance ever in the the tag match with him and Austin vs Davey and Owen.

It is kinda hard to believe that after such a serious injury he was that good right away.

Kurt should be happy he got a job out of HBK which is more than what most people have ever gotten. Not defending Michaels' actions though.

Can't be arsed quoting all these posts, but here's my 2 cents...

The Michaels knee injury in 1997 was legit. However, he had been working through the injury for a long time and it was nowhere near "career threatening". He conveniently decided he could no longer work through it when he found out he was due to put Bret over for the gold at WrestleMania 13. It was a load of bullshit, but he was actually hurt.

The back injury is 100% legit, the guy had a near five hour operation in January 1999 and was genuinely advised never to wrestle again.

I've heard the story about The Undertaker threatening HBK at WM14 loads of times from various different sources. Apparently, Michaels wanted to put the title on Helmsly on the next night's Raw, which was laughable at the time because Helmsly was NOWHERE near World title material at the time.

It was apparently Vince McMahon's idea to put the European title on Shawn Michaels in England to build a "revenge" PPV for the following April, in which Davey Boy Smith would regain the belt. To me, that's a sound booking plan, so it's probably true. (Then again, this is Vince we're talking about...) Unfortunately the April PPV fell through due to problems with Sky TV, Michaels was injured by then and Davey Boy had quit in the fall-out from the Montreal incident, so it never came to pass.

As for Kurt Angle, that guy has gone completely barmy. I wouldn't believe a word he says nowadays.

LOL. Rob is a COMPLETE wack-job with severe emotional issues....and in no way am I knocking Rob's wrestling knowledge. The guy knows his stuff. Most of what he said about HBK in this thread is true (Rob keeps in constant contact with Dave Meltzer and Percy Pringle via AIM, MSN Messenger, Cell Phone, etc. and always has the "inside scoop").

If someone was pissed off at Dave Meltzer and wanted to kick him in the nuts, they might find it difficult to do since Rob Harvey's face would be in the way.

The truly hilarious thing here, is that Rob is probably ANGRIER at HBK then Bret himself!

I love how Rob lives so vicariously through Bret Hart, Lennox Lewis, and now Chuck Liddell if I'm not mistaken. God forbid, if ANYONE criticises any of these guys.
