Whose Side Are You On, Anyway? #1: Michaels/Hogan

[Nark Order]

Alright, this is a new bi-monthly deal I'm starting up here. It's simple. I wil point out a past shoot argument between wrestlers, managers, officials, or wrestling executives, etc... you guys examine both sides of the arguement and tell me who YOU think was in the right. What side are you on?

The Scenario: Today we go back to Summerslam 2005 where a match between Hulk Hogan and Shawn Michaels was the talk of the night. Nobody can say for sure what happened behind the scenes but many feel that Michaels did the job to Hogan upon the request of Hogan, who allegedly refused to job to Michaels. During the match, Michaels attempted to make a mockery of Hogan by overselling all of his moves and performing goofy "I'm dying" like gestures. Hogan won the match but was noticably displeased with how Michaels conducted himself. The next night on Raw, Michaels cut a somewhat shoot promo on Hogan, mocking him even moreso.

Here is the match:

Things to Consider:
-Hogan has a past reputation for being a political wrestling giant and has refused to lose to many high profile opponents
-Many feel that Hogan has nothing to lose at this point by losing to anybody
-Shawn Michaels has also had a political past when it comes to the WWF/WWE and has allegedly refused to lose also.
-Michaels is notorious for throwing tantrums when he doesn't get what he wants. ie: Losing his smile.
-Since Shawn had 'found Jesus' in the early 2000s, his reputation for conflict was squeaky clean.
-Hogan said on a radio show after the incident that if WWE had asked him to job to Michaels that he would've had no problem doing so.

Whose side are YOU on:

Was this just another instance in which Hulk was flexing his power?
Did HBK over react and act unprofessional in his actions/words towards Hogan?
Who had a better arguement?
