Shawn at this point was a pain in the ass on drugs a pain backstage, an ego maniac, and I'm very surprised he was given a chance to redeem himself. He was a prick back then. But inside the ring he was the man.
@JTC31290 I wasn't a fan of the sexy boy gimmick - at least when he was a face. As a heel it was good because he was cocky but a coward. His face character with this gimmick was his worst of his singles career. Thank goodness he did the DX thing with Hunter and became a degenarate
@bwashinski Well, I just remember being a little kid and seeing this long haired guy wearing long earrings, and sparkly looking vests. It just made me kind of tilt my head in confusion. That's what women liked in the 90's. A long haired guy dancing around and putting on a show. It was considered "sexy", and the kids just looked up to him for some odd reason. Today, you would be considered gay if you did that crap HAHA!
HBK was indeed, The Heart Break Kid back in 1997. Stone Cold was the greatest ticket for several years but HBK was the rock star of the WWF in the late 90's.
Austin was lucky to get to face the Main Eventer HBK in this match because Austin was just an upper mid card guy during this time and he was supposed to fight Brian Pillman while HBK faced Bret Hart but Bret's knee was injured so WWE changed it to HBK vs Austin which was a Double DQ. Normally HBK would beat Austin like he did twice in 96, but they were really building up Austin during this time and to get a Double DQ with the great HBK truly helped Austin build himself up some more.
Is this when he was tag champions with Stone Cold and they still had to fight each other? I think I remember something about that. This is really close to when I first started watching WWF.
IDK why, but I always chuckle when I hear Vince say "unquestionably one of the great TREASURES of the WWF." It's as if he was making it clear to WCW that he ain't never goin' over there; and making it clear to Shawn that despite EVERYTHING Shawn was putting him through, Vince needed him and valued him beyond anyone (at least until Austin was fully baked and ready to come out of the oven!) lol
@TH152 Yeah lol I was going to ask if Shawn was sick on this night. This is the most laid back entrance I've seen from Shawn. In this era he was always hype, energetic, and dancing when he entered the ring for a promo or a match.
According to Bret Hart in his book. This was the same night HBK and Hart had gotten into a backstage fight over the "sunny days" comment and Michaels had a chunk of his hair pulled out. Originally HBK was supposed to wrestle Hart but Bret blew out his knee..
someone should upload hbk's entrance at ground zero 97 it was his first heel entrance for a match i think and he was so cocky and the pyro didnt work in time it was pretty awesome lol
I wish i had seen this match live.
