Shawn seemed to revel in getting the chance to be a heel again. Like Triple H, he seems to feel at his most creative when the crowds are dying to rip his throat out! :-)
It' funny, is it me, or do ALL great wrestlers are way better when they're heels? I mean, HBK, Triple H, Stone Cold, Rock, Undertaker, Hollywood Hogan (the greatest heel EVER) and so on, and so on....
Ya know only a few wrestlers could realy trigger a crowd reaction like that... Bret Hart/The Rock/Stone Cold and Hogan come to mind wwe crowds are so loyal and respectful... what a moment it would of being if The Hitman actually came out it would of being far more deafining
HBK-Well" since all U have been respectful to me. I would like to return in kind.
HBK singin. Be, bee, beeeee....
Ooh!... Cananda,
How, I Hate this place..... Ooh! Cananda, I'm going kick Hulk Hogan right in the face. O'right, O'right, I admit, I'm no singer. But what I am is "THE SHOWSTOPPER. The Headliner, The Main Event, Thee Icon of wwe yours truly (The Heart Kid-Shawn Michaels)...lol..
@sashundera91 He's copped to being in on it a number of times. He first revealed it on WWE confidential in 2002 and later in his HB and T DVD said that he, McMahon and HHH beat around the bush a bit and HHH apparently said to McMahon, "Fuck him (Bret). If he won't do business then you do business for him."
I'm an HBK fan but after he got right with God he admitted he was in on the plot in Montreal - like a man would.
@HuskerFanatic Hmm,atleast he has guts to admit he had something not just lieing but thats strange - i watched a DVD (forgot name) and there they said HBK made his leg in a shape that hart can counter and end the match as planned.
remember watching this on TV and thinking it was the best thing ever. best promo of the decade, hands down. 5 years later and it's still so memorable.
hbk is the best ever, i loved this heel turn. this month in the lead up to summerslam was probs the last time i've ever wanted to see someone cut promos
Do you have the video of HBK and Hogan's face off (I think a week before this)? Its where HBK superkicks the king. I love the face off because HBK tells Hogan exactly how it is
Everyone claims there is different sides of the story, but the common denominators are: Bret didn't want to drop the title, Vince wanted him to drop the title before he left the company, so HBK/Vince/Earl Hebner changed the planned ending of the match saying Bret tapped out to the Sharpshooter.
well...back in the 90's HBK and Bret hart had a match in Montreal. HBK won the match with Brets own submittion the Sharpshooter. So they called it the Montreal Screwjob. It was the biggest thing that ever happened in wrestling history.
K what's your problem? would you like it if the Canadians insulted the Americans or whatever lost place you're from? I don't think so. So like the person said before, learn some respect.
