Shawn Michaels vs Diesel Title Match Pt3/3

[huskerhotelfoxtrot]

I was at this ppv....good stuff

[goodpeoplealex]

Maurice Vachon a great canadian wrestling legend probably honestly volunteered for this, such an amazing match, such an amazing ending. Nash and HBK were so authentic in this match, you absolutely have to love vince's commentary, guy should have just stayed commentating to this day, he's a legend too. I am 23 years old and wrestling is such a guilty pleasure. lol! MAD DOG!

[valleymolehere]

Shawn sucks!!

[crocodiliusz]

Nash just got raped tonight by HHH as well.

[JayNJayShow]

Before I clicked this, the thumbnail looked to show Diesel on the canvas, with Jenny McCarthy standing in the ring (I thought it was something I missed from their Wrestlemania match) but that thumbnail was not a part of this at all.

Still though, I'm glad I clicked.

[BonJ2211]

This match is a one I like to watch every so often. It's pretty damn brutal and this was still a while before Attitude. The jacknife through the table and the choke over the top rope are both awesome, yet pretty sickening!

[KYExtemper]

This was a great end to the Diesel-Shawn Michaels storyline and IMO was the Match of the Year for 1996.

[rextony22]

vince saying, give to him give to him.

[94Lyght]

love how when the match was done he threw earl hebner out the ring. lol great match hate that i taped over this along time ago.

[xhemexx]

Haha listen to the "Diesel" chants!!!! Diesel/Keven Nash was always better looking then Shawn Michaels. He was always sexier too, and you ladies know that!! Heck i'm a guy and I KNOW THAT!!!!! and am not afraid to admit it. Because I wouldn't dare admit something like this (being heterosexual/straight) if I didn't know that it was true. Kevin Nash here is Tall Dark and Handsom, Shawn Michaels, Isn't!! nuff said!! By the way how dare Shawn Michaels mock Hulk Hogan after the match!!!!

[rajeshy2j]

@xhemexx Whatever,Kevin Nash may be 10 times hotter than Michaels,but Michaels is 1000 times better wrestler than Diesel will ever be...

[genosynca]

@xhemexx now i admit nash is good looking, even in this day and age, but come one. they called shawn michaels the sexy boy for a reason.

[0spazzy0yazzy0]

shawn is so pissed off at the end because he hated that kevin was leaving the WWF

[moliekilla]

vince mcmhaon is tha best ....his reactions to things is soooooooooooo funny i luv it lmaooo

[masterpete24]

haahahaha Nash smashing hbk out of the ring at 1:29, too bad Vince had such a hard on for shawn and always allowed him to win matches by kicking the air infront of his opponents. This was Diesel's last match in wwf I believe.

[OtakuJdm]

This was a great match!!! But the biggest BS for me was that Razor Ramon/Scott Hall never got to hold the WWF Title while HBK was getting to back to back!!

[CRJ5]

Guardate e sentite le reazioni del pubblico quando lo Showstopper era campione..ora ai vari cena sheamus batista non li calcola nessuno...

HBK 6 LEGGENDA

[Brovocop]

i think Kevin Nash started the attitude era

[mafiaboy23ca]

That match was really something! Shawn Michaels really deserved to win it, surviving to Diesel's finising maneuver!

[dflisch]

Shawn Michaels domination!!!!!! Monster kill!!!!!!

[chachins]

Hebner's (not sure which Hebner it is) reaction to the low blow is classic! It's little things like that which are missing in todays product.

[theShowStopper321]

Michaels still got some boos. They were in redneck country and Michaels was playing the cocky pretty boy.

[narutoabridgedfan18]

who was the guy that diesel pulled out of the crowd

[SereneAndTranquil]

Wow. That was good. I'm happy.

[WWEChampion16]

This is just like the time Doink hit Crush with a plastic arm.

[maddingo12]

This was an awesome match.

[jbails007]

Easily the best match to involve Kevin Nash.

[NeverOwnedanIpod]

Shawn curses WCW after the match

[jfizzay]

lol hbk threw his gum at diesel then threw earl hebner out the ring

[Rocabyebitch]

King= Heel and Vinnie= Face LMAO

[tomtik101]

crazy reversal at 00:4-00:7

[nuntoki]

the pop is ......... I have no words to describe it. its crazy, Shawn was and is still da man, THE SHOW STOPPER, THE ICON, Mr WRESTLEMANIA.

[tturedstl]

I think this match is on Shawn Michaels "From the Vault" , on a promo for it you can hear Vince saying "We said No Holds Barred, but we didn't expect this"

[BretHitman]

great match 10/10

[DontBeRidikalus]

Next to "Macho Man" Randy Savage, Michaels drops the best elbow.

[TheJMH1992]

yall know shawn michaels was preffering those taunts to hogan and razor ramon, litterally to wcw

[xhemexx]

@TheJMH1992 I know I mean what the fuck was that guys problem. I know he is different now, He is Christian and I am also Christian. Back then we neither were really, but that pissed me off when he mocked Hulk Hogan!! I mean no respect and hate against Shawn Michaels, but I mean how disrespectful that was of Shawn. In real life, at their prime, Hulk Hogan would destroy Shawn Michaels!!

[pbergeron2]

Michaels and Kurt Angle are my all time favorite wrestlers :)

[2424john]

Did anyone notice at the end he mocks the nwo? Hogan's pose and Razor's "come on" taunt.

Wonder if the wwe had an idea of what would happen in wcw. lol

[recota316]

haha i noticed it now. makes you think maybe vince owned both companies and the wwf vs wcw war was all planned. Doubt it but idk.

[AnttheCaesar]

@2424john Dude this is how I see it. If ANYBODY knew about the nWo premise in the WWE it was HBK. Since Hogan was already in WCW and Hall soon following, you wouldn't think the Kliq had a plan since the Curtain Call? Hall and Nash came in together and with help of Hogan, nWo made the biggest impact in 90s wrestling til Shawn and Levesque caught up and created D-Generation X and with Stone Cold's emerging image they rivaled then later topped WCW's success. The KLIQ started the Monday Night Wars!

[WilsonT011]

@AnttheCaesar Yes the KLIQ started it all in the 90's

[NiceT86]

@AnttheCaesar Yea, and I found it great how the entire Kliq paid hommage to each other in several ways to let each other know their not forgotten about even though their on opposite TV shows....like if the wolfpac/NWO and DX did simaliar things.....

[316THESCSA]

خيس



[xhemexx]

@AnttheCaesar Eric Bischoff said that he had planned out the N.W.O 8 months to a year before it actually happened, so that would make it in 1995 before the KLIQ or anyone else had any idea about it.

[billywitchdocter]

@xhemexx Yeah but this is Eric Bishoff your talking about, I would not be surprised at all if he was lying.

[xhemexx]

@billywitchdocter I can say the same thing ironically about the KLIQ if you think about it.

[billywitchdocter]

@xhemexx That you could, HBK and The Kliq were all assholes back then, lying and using politics to get what they wanted, especially once Nash and Hall went to WCW.

[d1sukh]

when and if shawn returns to wwe thay should make him go for the title he just deserves it. and he much much much better than hhh

[Rh1n0th3h4mp5t3r]

dude, shawn michaels never retired. lol

[QuanFTW]

dude shawn michaels single handled carried wwf against wcw until mankind and stonecold and rock came along

[gocelts34n7]

@QuanFTW him and hitman

[taekwon3000]

This was a very great match one of those "I will neevr forget" matches. I am surprise how this match is not that talked about that much today. This had everything, shock value, emotions, action, hard core innovation, solid wrestling and great crowd reaction (which is very influential in making a match more excited for the people watching at home)

You dont have matches like this anymore. Especially when it comes to the psychology aspect of it.

[MrBanjo]

Whenever I think "All Time Great Heel Spot" I keep coming back to Nash ripping off Mad Dog's prosthetic leg to use as a weapon.

Seriously, it doesn't get more "heel" than slapping around a middle aged man, in the audience, no less, and then ripping his prosthetic leg off to use as a weapon.

That was just a great spot all around.

[wa2ruff]

This match has always been one of my favorites. Shawn was at his height as an athlete, and Diesel played his role great.

I remember seeing this on PPV and thinking the WWF had just entered a new realm . That jackknife through the table was one of the most shocking moments I had seen. WWF wrestlers weren't pulling those stunts then.

Great theater all the way around.

[maddingo12]

I loved it when Diesel snapped for the first time and powerbombed Michaels like 20 times into the ring. lol That was awesome.

[dohboy200]

did you see shawns shoutout to hulk and razor at the end?

[jlfahrer]

I was at this PPV. I'll never forget Nash ripping off Mad Dog Vachon's prosthetic leg.

[Vishnavazone]

This was a fun match, but I don't know why Vince would put Kevin Nash in a PPV main event even though he was to leave for WCW within days. Prolly coz he needed someone to put Shawn over. Anyway, good conclusion to the 2 year Shawn-Diesel saga.

[ROCKNINJA777]

3 years actually but you are right

[manavj999]

HBK beat disel because shawn was better than this!!!!!!!!!!

[KennethKaniffFromCT]

GREAT match! easily the best Kevin Nash match I've ever seen and maybe even Shawn's best! Well.....maybe one of Shawn's top 5 best.

[sarkissamuel]

hahahahaha at about 4:30 Shawn says right to the camera, "You want a big boy to play with?" haha a direct reference to WCW. Awesome.

[rmwwebdrive]

Good catch. For as much as WCW killed WWF back then, they never ever had anybody who could match Michaels. Not even close.

[dmoney141414]

yup agreed one of the best matches

[gus767]

I'd say this is one of the best matcfhes in the Fed's history. Great storytelling and creative violence with the little guy surviving and beating the giant.

[shaggylakky]

i love it this is the best match i ever have see in wwf

[darknessfatale]

Awesome! This was actually the first time that HBK "tunes up the band" before hitting Sweet Chin Music. I love how the crowd went along with him when he started stomping his foot againt the canvas. X3

[SteAdamsG]

HBK reminds me badly of my childhood, watching the New Generation round my friends every week and every PPV, awesome

[outsideradam]

this match was living proof that kevin nash had no problem jobbing to another star.

[DrRPG]

Accually HBK was 10 times bigger at that time. In the storyline he was just HBKs bodyguard at start

[Vishnavazone]

"another" star? Ahem, who was the other member of the clique? Shawn Michaels.

The only "job" I'd credit Kevin of doing properly was dropping the World title to Bret Hart at SurvivorSeries '95.

[ROCKNINJA777]

one of the best matches i have ever seen

[AkiMega]

good friends, but better enemies!

[bubbaali021]

this was before diesel went to wcw

[demeola88]

Great match! That was a sick jackknife through the table!

[BuckSatan]

This was a great match.

[xVATOZxLOCOZx]

DAMN THIS MATCH LOOKED REAL

[ChicoMachismo]

At 3:56-4:16 was hbk taking a shot at Hulk Hogan? lol

[Emme182]

Exellent Performance Sweet!

[blayzed87]

this was probably one of the first real hardcore matches in the wwf. this was a classic!

[rellik4life]

this is a kick ass match

[ElManyaBadTour]

who is that man at 2:20 ???

[keith2badd]

Maddog Vachon

[sircoolcat]

Aha, I don't watch WWE anymore but this is exactly why HBK was the greatest... obviously it's all written out who wins and stuff, but Michaels did it in such an exciting way, great charisma and a brilliant character, not simply some guy on steroids like the people in it today :)

And you can see how genuinely gripped the crowd were by their reaction at the end, this was REAL entertainment. Michaels carried the WWF from 96-98 like no-one has ever done during any other era.

[ROCKNINJA777]

every word in stone. buy he was a huge star before 96, his first ladder match with razor ramon was in 95 i think, and in the same year he won the royal rumble although he was drawn first. his tag matches with diesel were always awesome as well

[DEES18]

ur almost right but not quite!

the ladder match was in 94 at mania 10

that was for the I.C belt

he won the royal rumble from comin in first which was in 95 then he faced nash/diesel at mania 11 and lost.

then he won the rumble again in 96 then beat bret hart at mania 12..

[lancem00]

@sircoolcat False entertainment that is scripted is still fake. And not everyone today is on steroids.

[Hooah1984]

@sircoolcat

He sure carried it from 96-98 and WWF almost went out of business during that time.

[brocklesnarno2fan]

true kevin nash and diesel r just tall but they do get storyline from wwe so u dun if nash or disl are stronger then shanw or undertaker

[cagednm69]

lol nash and diesel are one and the same...its just a different gimmick

[kokyadel88]

the legend HBK great match for shawn

[countbloodula]

kevin nash isnt much of anything either, just massive, which is why he is stuck in tna

[dxhbktriplehjeff]

the good old days of wrestling

[homdog09]

The good old days of wrestling when you would be on the end of the couch waiting to see what happens next. I miss those moments

[seclusively]

Wtf happened to wrestling? This match is awesome, as is every match I see and remember as a kid from before 2000. I try to get back in to wrestling since about 2001, and it wasn't the same any of the times, and I can't really pinpoint why these past 8 years wrestling sucked, but it does. Wrestling used to be so thrilling. I don't know what happened!

[taekwon3000]

Wrestling from Wrestlemania 2003 but then fell off big time and took a nose dive after eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit lost their respective Worlds title in 2004.

[vnsandeep]

whos this man whom diesel attacked?

[Lizdad08]

Thats Mad Dog Vachon Luna Vachon Uncle.

[leby39]

what a match, thats classic

[natebaby3]

wow that was the biggest reaction iv ever seen to a pinfall did u see the crowd they went nuts

[bowserstefan]

crazy ending
