@superwacha999 I think the beat is just an instrumental designed for the use of WWF for PPV's, because I remember it being used for many other PPV's exepcially when a Hell in the Cell match is on the card.
In WCW Austin used his wrestling skills more often. He used more holds and other moves. Then when he had his Stone Cold gimmick in WWF/WWE he couldn't really use all of his wrestling skills because his style had change into brawler not technical like in WCW or early WWF career.
If you have seen Shawn wrestle for awhile you will notice just how "stiff" he was moving around the ring. His back was in such bad shape at that time. He still made the match with Austin a classic. By far not his best work in the ring, but very solid preformance from HBK and SCSA
No jumbotron no HD. Look at the entrance, Its just a plain opening curtain. Though it looks simple it never had that much energy come out from the curtian before this match. Biggest main event feeling ever with the entrances.
Michaels is a fucking badass. He went ahead and wrestled this match with a severe back injury and went the distance here. Other champions would probably have just relinquished the title rather than go through the match (*cough*batista*cough*)
totally awesome entrance for shawn, HBK yelling "I'm the fucking man!" at 5:22 .... he was trying to get what he could out of what he thought would be his last match ever, and his last ever as the man of the WWF/WWE.
HBK was obviously the more talented wrestler. but austin had the hype, HBK had the injury. so austin wins and everyone now says stone cold is better than Michaels.
He was going to lose that belt to Austin here, injury or no injury, because the fans had already decided who they wanted to see. He would have then seen that ratings would go up and he'd have to live through the Rock's reign as well. I think he would have overdosed for sure and i'm not joking.
Everytime I watch this, and it's REALLY hard to watch this, I think that this back injury was a blessing in disguise. And not just because it allowed him to meet Rebecca etc. etc., but because I think it would have killed him to stay in and NOT be the top guy.
@ritzygal don think that would have been the case...the rock's career rise would have taken a hit...austin-shawn would have been the benchmark rivalry for a while to come...so much potential with that, sad it never went too far...
This is Shawn Michaels coming out of being the top dog and Stone Cold Coming in. Stone Cold just won the royal rumble getting all the hype and HBK was just a pure joker at the time but unstoppable in his own right. Stone Cold and Kane were both coming through about now good tiiimess
lol i love how wwf was more on the adult side, they would never allow them to flick the camera off now adayz LOL and talk about sex and stuff like they used to do XD
I wish they still use that lowering the cage theme right before the main event as they are getting ready to come out. It just made the main event feel more important. By the way what is the name of the theme when they are lowering the cage?
some of these kids dont know the history,they came out of their momma's womb and bang all they see is Cena and Hornswoggle and shameous.HBK is a legendary superstar.
I remember Undertaker telling someone in an Interview, that not only was Shawn being the worlds biggest pain in the ass, but he didn't and was not going to job to Austin that night. Taker then said that if he didn't do the job, Shawn Michaels was in for a long night...Ouch
I'm not really defending it, because I'm not an enormous HBK fan, and Austin is pretty much my all-time favorite, but he had some of the best matches ever during the 90's.
either him, triple h, nash, or whoever took a dump in sunny's food and when they confronted them hbk told them if they touch him he'll make vince job to a team and they didn't do anything ... but hbk still made vince make them job.
he didn't want to return the favor to bret hart and lose to him and a bunch of other crap he pulled.
he even threaten to go to wcw ... but he didn't because he's loyal to vince.
yeh but to this day he still denies using them! i doubt a born again christian would lie about that considering most other wrestlers came clean about their use. also considering he came clean bout the montreal screwjob. Im a personal trainer and looking at his physique he looks very natural.
a leper cant change its spots. for example in his book he said dat vince mcmahon took a dive from his punch from bret hart. he also refused to lose dis match right up to match time till undertaker threatened 2 beat him up if he didnt. he doesnt mention dat mucheither does he?
yeh but i know shawn was a jackass at times back in the 90s and the power he had only made it worse. But what im saying is that he became a better person, came clean about alot of things so why if he did, would he deny "hand on heart" that he took steroids?
I love Austin and HBK! When it comes to wrestling, I'll hand it to HBK. But when it comes to just being a badass mofu then YOU'VE GOTTA GIVE IT TO AUSTIN! Plus, despite his lesser skills in wrestling, Austin more than held his own with some good ol' ass-whoopin!!!!
I don't give a crap who owned who when it comes to AUSTIN and HBK. THEY'RE BOTH FUCKING AWESOME!
The injury happened at the Rumble and Shawn was layed of the ppvs before Wrestlemania so he coulddrop the Title to Austin.Shawn aggrivated his back during this match after he twatted his back of the Turnbuckle.
The build ups at Wrestlemania use to have a huge main event feel.The whole tension tune playing as they walk out the locker to the Gorrilla position use to make it feel huge while Ross built it up.
Considering Shawn was in so much pain i thought he had a hell of a match at WM14.He made Austin look like the underdogg and the Underdog went over.Could have been a classic series.
we all knew that when shawn is about to come out to the ring and ross says that shawn is the greatest wwf champion of all time but they edited that out too!!
Austin, McMahon, Undertaker and Michaels were in a meeting with other officials discussing the WWF's plans going forward. leading up to WMXIV, the idea was for HBK to drop the belt to Austin, initially HBK rejected and at this point Undertaker began to tape his fists methodically,Taker then told HBK that it was advisable that he, HBK, change his mind about doing the job by the time that he, Undertaker, finished taping his fists or he will MAKE HBK change his mind the hard way.
Because Michaels knew that this match could potentially retire him...that pose he does on the ropes in his entrance is saying "I have been the fucking MAN for the last 5 or 6 years". Basically saying he has been untouchable.
Why doesn't any WrestleMania have that mainevent feel to it??? I mean since Angle v. Lesnar at WM XIX, the last 5 manias have had a lackluster feel to their mainevent..
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Austin OwNs Shawn. trust me i used to watch Raw back in the day Live on Television. All you 8-year old wwe fans coming on here saying HBK is better are probably retarded assmunk cena fans. Im not saying HBK isnt a good wrestler as a matter of fact he is my 3rd favorite other then the rock and Steve austin.
actually i never thought austin owned shawn and i think shawn has more talent in his pinky finger then austin did!!! better wrestler? shawn, better story teller? shawn!! better mic skills? shawn!! the reason austin got over so big was because of the gimmick that he had!!! that bad ass mother fucker gimmick is what made him popular!! also saying a few curse words here and there didn't hurt also!!!
@nickloks you my friend...have nailed it! austin doesn't really have much going for him...vince constructed the right gimmick for him, he flipped cameras, threw expletives...acted like a bad ass and that was that...nowhere in the same element as shawn, as regards talent...
im watching raw right now and they said stone cold is going to be inducted into the hall of fame . rock should go with him give me a hell yeah if you agree. This is not spam . I garuntee
austin cant compare 2 michaels.... if hbk didnt break his back.... austin wouldnt have won... REAL SHIT THE ONLY TIME HE GOTTA PUSH WAS WHEN MICHAELS FUCKED UP....
u obviously dont know shit. austin was sched to win the match long before shawn hurt his back. austin was the most popular wrestler on the entire roster of course he was going to get the push!
also scsa shows hbk respect by stepping out of the ring and allowing HBK time to enjoy his intro for the last time, plus Michaels was always james dean of wrestling and hes cursing and pointing to himself? the signs were there that he was hurt bad but he gutted it out and for what, so guys like john cena and batista can drop 2.6 ratings on raw?
when shawn leaves the stage and walks to the ring he says "whos the fucking man" while pointing at himself. HBK is still the best athlete to ever hold that belt. He just got hurt to early in his career HBK 4 life and the clique
lmao i love how triple h acts like hes hot shit , when he was nothing but hbk's sidekick in the 90s, god knows if shawn never broke his back triple h would have been midcard for life, am i right?
These days, when a new champ is crowned they start to run out of steam pretty quickly (John Cena's first run is the exception to that. He got over unbelievably well). When Stone Cold won the belt that night, he went straight to the moon.
Truthfully, I think Cena was over more BEFORE he won the title than he was AFTER. He was more popular as US Champ (in MY opinion) than he was as WWE Champ, at least as far as crowd reaction. Shortly after beating Bradshaw (JBL) the fans started to turn.
actually most of the fans turned on him after survivor series 2005 when he beat angle when angle had his own ref i mean be realistic if you got your own ref how the fuck do you win a match cleanly then we got sick of him especiall y when bishoff was fired
Thank you for pointing that out tee85. I always wondered what he meant by that and to be honest I didn't even notice HBK said "the first time without my goodluck charm."
Love the booty shot, wish I could have seen the full monty xo xo

also scsa shows hbk respect by stepping out of the ring and allowing HBK time to enjoy his intro for the last time, plus Michaels was always james dean of wrestling and hes cursing and pointing to himself? the signs were there that he was hurt bad but he gutted it out and for what, so guys like john cena and batista can drop 2.6 ratings on raw?

when shawn leaves the stage and walks to the ring he says "whos the fucking man" while pointing at himself. HBK is still the best athlete to ever hold that belt. He just got hurt to early in his career HBK 4 life and the clique

lmao i love how triple h acts like hes hot shit , when he was nothing but hbk's sidekick in the 90s, god knows if shawn never broke his back triple h would have been midcard for life, am i right?

Triple H was really HBK's little bitch! I can see why Triple H tried to cripple him at Summerslam 2002

These days, when a new champ is crowned they start to run out of steam pretty quickly (John Cena's first run is the exception to that. He got over unbelievably well). When Stone Cold won the belt that night, he went straight to the moon.

Truthfully, I think Cena was over more BEFORE he won the title than he was AFTER. He was more popular as US Champ (in MY opinion) than he was as WWE Champ, at least as far as crowd reaction. Shortly after beating Bradshaw (JBL) the fans started to turn.

people got tired of the same old bullshit cena was doin. not at first, but over time people had enough
realhooddan 3 years ago 2
actually most of the fans turned on him after survivor series 2005 when he beat angle when angle had his own ref i mean be realistic if you got your own ref how the fuck do you win a match cleanly then we got sick of him especiall y when bishoff was fired

Since they abbreviated stone cold as acsa, does that mean we can abbreviate hollywood hulk hogan as HHH? lol

@4:07 HBK says "This is for you Earl the first time without my goodluck charm"
Meaning Senior ref Earl Hebner who was in the Hospital at the time of WM 14 and if U notice HBK matches he is always the ref...
tee85 4 years ago 13
Thank you for pointing that out tee85. I always wondered what he meant by that and to be honest I didn't even notice HBK said "the first time without my goodluck charm."

Man I wanted HBK to win and I'm sure If his back wasn't as bas as it was the out come could hvae been a little different.
tee85 4 years ago 7
Um, I don't think so, given that Austin was booked to win.
