Something that made me like Shawn Michaels a little bit more

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

KOTR 1997 against Steve Austin, a special olympics participant jumps over the railing and security fucking jumps on the kid.

Austin has no idea wtf is going on... Shawn seems legit worried and goes over to get the security off the poor little guy. Austin still is confused and goes and starts beating on Shawn, until Shawn can finally escape, embrace the kid and sheppard him to safety.

This was interesting to see for me... because this was 1997 Shawn Michaels... the apparent brash douchebag that we've been led to believe he was... and yet he did something like this. I mean don't get me wrong he was probably a dick but that was the opposite of a dick move.

I mean any decent person would do it, but he was genuinely concerned and was willing to stop the match just to make sure this kid was okay. I could see most wrestlers not giving the slightest fuck, even maybe getting some licks in if the kid got too close, which they've been privy to do on many occasions.


I dunno Shawn impressed me. Neat to see.
