Shawn wasn't saving the company, he was the top guy when WCW started consistently beating the WWF. Granted it wasn't totally his fault, the WWF roster was really thin w/ Hall, Nash, & Bret gone for most of '96, but he was definitely not helping the situation. Really, he was the 1st guy I can remember getting the Cena/Roman treatment as the top face. Watch SvS '96, the crowd totally turned on him for Sid.
richard h Shawn was getting the loudest pops out of anyone in the years 95-96. The NYC crowd loved Shawn. What happened was, after he won the title, the little bit of edginess HBK still had as a babyface was taken away because Vince wanted him to be "full on, squeaky clean babyface". The crowds saw right through that. Also, by the time Survivor Series '96 came around, Shawn had been champ for 8 months. The fans wanted something new. Sid was also over like rover. That's why the SS '96 crown turned on him.

He didn't threaten him personally... But he was ready who open up a can of whoop ass on Shawn Michaels before Steve Austin, in case Michaels was going to refuse to do the Job. Multiple people have confirmed that, including Undertaker himself.
wow its amazing how God can completely transform people when he want to. can anybody notice how Shawn has changed? he would be this humble if it wasn't of being born of Christ. surely Christ lives. i'm still shocked that this was shawn talking there, different tone al togather
@Dust Devil he talked in wrestling mags about making a in ring comeback and training a year out now he pretends God told him to get back in the ring....WACK
Stingar Sting is a 12 year old kid who is up past his bedtime. His parents are going to be mad when they find out he is still on his computer. It's a school night son.
Shane Helms said Shawn's Born Again gimmick was exactly that, a gimmick. Judging from this interview, I believe him. Shawn doesn't admit to anything. He makes vague references to bad shit he did in the past, but denies every specific accusation. Before trying to turn Bret Hart's anger around on him, with a fun little bullshit comment about all the forgiveness in his heart. If Shawn actually did turn his life around because of religion, good for him. Not the path I would have taken, but I'm not Shawn Michaels. But this whole interview reeks of salvation-for-show.
Nah he's legit born again but he struggles with his demons like all people that is why once in a while you'll see old shawn pop up There's no way he is a faking it Shawn is a very different dude
I was surprised to see the way he talks in this interview, but that's only because I've seen interviews after this where he has been far more humble than this. I'm firmly in Bret Hart's camp, as I am a fan on him, but I will say that Bret pulled no punches in his comment. Nor should he have. But it's got to be hard for anyone to sit there and take that comment. He is barely a year clean in this interview, from the change I've seen when he's spoken in later interviews, there seems to be a definite change in him. I also think, that a lot of stuff people have said about him isn't true, even though he was an asshat.
Im not talking about in montreal. Im talking about before wm 13 when he was meant to drop the belt he faked an injury and 'lost his smile' cos he didn't want to put anyone over.
Bret Hart should've put him over; not because Shawn is a great guy but because that's how the business went for generations. You lay down when the boss says lay down; or he'll make you lay down...that's how it is in this industry.
Born Again Shawn: Thank you very much, and thank you for putting me in that class of big names even though i'm probably down the bottom there. 90s Dickhead Shawn: Hell no I wont put anyone over ever might as well just lose my smile and go home
@@humblehugh23 because it takes the entire company to do so, Ted Turner put a lot of $$ to smother vince and wwf at the time. No one performed better than Michaels in the ring, everyone knows that, psh
Shawn: *speaks on Curt Henning's loss and what a tragedy it is...* Host: "you know what Shawn? I'm gonna cut you off. Thanks for being on the show." Man, this show was just something else.
+Steven Taylor The show is only 30 minutes long. HBK is the greatest wrestler of all time in my opinion but not a really great interview. He tends to ramble on and on without getting to the point. If Landsberg doesn't do this the interview would go nowhere.
Point blank: Bret Hart refused to drop the belt, Bret hart was leaving to WCW, Bret Hart didn't do the right thing; thus forcing Vince's hands'.. he's the boss and at the end of the day, as Stone Cold says, Bret got fired.. end of story.
Will Smith Of course they would run with the joke after Hitman left, the momentum worked both ways only WCW couldn't capitalize on the Hitman 'cause Bischoff didn't know what to do with him and Bret would've been grossly out of place in the Attitude Era.
***** he asks questions no other anchor would ask, seems like he is a fan of wrestling because his questions are fan based, unlike larry king and others who always ask for a close ended answers.
+Marvin D he cuts them off when they are trying to void giving a straight answer. Best anchor ever because he keeps them on point and doesn't let them piss around with fluffy bullshit answers.
Lol Well, America isn't a nation of godless communist heathens who worship their local government official. (At least we didn't used to be) 2)We're a Christian nation who built the greatest country in human history 💪🙏
3:12 - that's actually Joshua 1:6, but it's awesome that somebody who received everything materialistic he had dreamed of put that as a second priority and accepted Christ.
Im a person who grew up in the church I been around church ppl all my life I can tell when sum1 say they are born again christian and love the lord and when they are real or fake and full of it and I bet all the ppl here the ?ed shawn's faith being real or wrestlers sayin he was fakin and other ppl on other pod cast bet any money they dont go to church or dont even claim to no the lord and be a christian so how u no shawn's faith is fake Ive read where they say he keep changin his story shawn has been sayin the same thing for last 21 yrs. And as a christian myself I no how it when u have faith n god that ur goin to be ok and shawn had faith enough in the lord to go back to wrestling undertaker couldnt stand 1990s shawn and said he wouldn't spit on him if he was on fire but loves the shawn of today said they good friends he even said he could tell he was changed when he first came back and if taker is sayin shawn is a better person u can believe it and the undertaker is a born again christian too. And the lord forgives and i dont believe shawn should still have to keep explaining himself from how he was then
Along with his in-ring ability and turning his life around, the one thing I respect the most about HBK was the the fact that he talked to Vince McMahon like no one had, is, and will...and got away with it. Of course, we now know why HBK got away with it because Vince could say the passion in him....HBK = G.O.A.T I still think he should've beaten Hogan @ SS 05
Well, he was in the first ladder match, hell in a cell and iron man match of which is one of the most famous matches in WWF history, he formed DX which was the most powerful group in WWF during their very successful period, won several world championships, when he won the iron man match he made Vince a heel after the iron man match(of which has definitely changed the WWF).
For a guy that was pretty into being born again and turning away from his mistakes, he has trouble acknowledging he made the specific mistakes. This guy won't take blame for anything. Losing respect for Shawn.
He dodges a lot of questions. For instance, won't answer who he 'stepped on' once he got on top. Also, totally doesn't say why he could wrestle again following 1998 and how that suddenly changed!
Yeah, he was talking about Bret Hart. Look at the interviews from others who were there at the time including Austin who know it was Bret Hart who didn't submit to authority and give Vince the title when he told him to.
Some may say the point of salvation through Christ is to turn your life around. You can't have salvation and continue to be the same guy. I'm glad for Shawn and his decision to give his life away in spite of what he's done leading up to that decision.
@@danielocean3699 Shawn was extremely wild in the 90’s and really played his “Sexy Boy” image to a T. He was burying alot of wrestlers and made out with almost every chick that came his way before he converted.
would lansberg shut the fuck up and let his guesst speak,they can barely get a word in when they come onto his show.i was disguisted at how he disrespected cm punk and his ufc career.all lansberg wanted to do was talk about vince in wwe and the day punk left.lansberg should taken cm punks choice to go mma seriously(the justin bieber joke was uncalled for by him.punk was been respectful even despite the stupid questions being asked.punk was an exceptional wrestler and i have huge respect for him more or less telling vince and hunter to go fuck themselves.the only thing punk should never have said was that hewould have thrived in the attitude era to austins face,that was disrespecful,similarily there is no way that cena would have survived wcw back in the early 1990s.orton and lesnar would have,correction lesnar would have survived the powerplant,but he would just be a blue chipper wrestler feuding with goldberg.
Everybody came from somewhere and and everybody has a past and when you change your life for the better you shouldn't be reluctant to talk about your conversation and give testimony. To me it would have been OK for him to say he was dirty in the past and did people wrong but God changed his life and he is not that man anymore 😎👌
The severity of his injury was greatly exaggerated, as he went hypochondriac to dodge getting someone over Also, the kliq stepped on half the wwf roster
people get mad at shawn because he stepped on peoples toes, he was and is cocky, and he did anything to get that title but that is what makes him one of if not THE best wrestlers of all time. Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Serena Williams, Muhammed Ali, Jay-Z etc. are all called the best because they did what they had to do and cared about no1 but themselves to get to the top and that is what shawn did so all the hate needs to stop on one of the best ever to do this
Some of you speak as if you have all the Intel and know everything that went on behind the scenes. None of us know what we'd do in that spot. Vince is not at fault. HBK is definitely not at fault. Bret was in total control. The decision was made by Vince, and Bret was given more control regarding the passing of the torch than most do, and more than he should have. Bret did it to himself, and even though he's an all time great, he let personal grudges affect his professional position.
No, go to 12: 52 of the video. There is nothing confusing about this. Shawn said that if he had to do it all over again he would take the same course of action in Montreal. He's justifies it by saying that the Bible says to submit to authority. Shawn says, "My boss asked me to do a job, and I went out there and did it," as if nothing your boss tells you to do could ever be wrong. Then, incredibly, he makes the gangster analogy without understanding that he did something unethical.
Yea. I kind of feel like Bret reminds me if a spoiled whiny brat. Where if he doesn't get his way Everytime he whines about it.. but then again at some point everybody whines when they don't get their way. But I do agree that Bret doesn't want to be responsible for his part.
is the first time in my life that i see this, finally i know why Shawn Michaels never turn heel again because he's a born again christian, i thought he was always a christian person
Much respect to Shawn, I read his autobiography too but what is it when someone finds religion they want to take everybody with them? I think its a personal thing. If you are going to find God it'll happen when it's,meant to be found. Preachy people just make others stop listening.
By met he means he asked for an autograph when Michaels was pilled up hitting in his gf lol most if the kliq still do shoot interviews in which they talk about how much they love Shawn but they all knew he was going to take and hold the number one spot and they all said it wasn't out of hate but passion do your homework kid. He is the greatest performer in the ring period no one out wrestled him no one out talked him and no one is more sought after to work with.
If you liked anything that came out of the attitude Era you like Shawn since him and hunter practically started it when they were doing the dx thing and getting fined nearly every week
"Submit to authority." Uh yeah...it should go without saying that you're not supposed to do that if you're being asked to do something unethical. It's funny that he brought up gangsters right after that.

The "Boy toy" & the "Cerebral Assassin" tried to bury the Rock back in the WrestleMania XV days, trying to get HHH into Rock's spot and look how the Rock became bigger than either of those two ever will be.
Donald Davis II not true sir
Donald Davis II maybe in movies ....like flair said to Hogan his first go in the wwf at the time now wwe...whatever..my point being is flair told Hogan in the funeral parler he said quote"Hulk big man whooo!!! wile you were out making movies I was out winning world championships.whoop!!!!"
so I disagree and I love Dwayne (ROCK).....NOT SAYING YOUR WRONG BUT IN 16 YEARS PASS LMK IF YA FILL THE SAME .....
Sikandar Baig I was the biggest Shawn fan in the mid 90's. But nah man. And HHH? Bahahahaha
The Rock never was is and never will be bigger then HBK no one and I mean no one can touch HBK in wrestling it never was it never has and never will be HBK is the all father of wrestling where you like it or hate it but it's the daam Truth
@@mjcoaters4320you do not know what you're talking about. The Rock is a much bigger star than Shawn Michaels. Even to this day. I fuck with both of them so I know what I'm talking about
Men...asking about curt hennig who just passed away and cut him off 10 sec later...
That explains why Undertaker was ready to assault HBK before the WM14 main event, because Shawn was ready to lay down when the boss said so, just like he did for Vader.
Oh, wait
That was a myth taker was just watching the show at gorilla
@@LongHuynh-bx5ll no actually it's not a myth. The Undertaker has confirmed this as fact. I'm sure The Undertaker knows more about the situation than you would ever think you know.
@@michaelhernandez8772 No, what the other guy said is true, undertaker never threaten shawn before his match with austin(that's why shawn denies it happened). nypost.com/2020/11/12/wwes-undertaker-talks-shawn-michaels-wrestlemania-14-taping-story/
He didn't threaten him personally... But he was ready who open up a can of whoop ass on Shawn Michaels before Steve Austin, in case Michaels was going to refuse to do the Job. Multiple people have confirmed that, including Undertaker himself.
Taker looking at him without saying anything be like "if you dont do the job, I'll make sure you wont do this job again"
As a born again Christian myself, this reinforces him being my favorite ever. Thank you, Shawn!
wow its amazing how God can completely transform people when he want to. can anybody notice how Shawn has changed? he would be this humble if it wasn't of being born of Christ. surely Christ lives. i'm still shocked that this was shawn talking there, different tone al togather
Its a act lol he is douche bag. He lying the whole interview.
@Dust Devil he talked in wrestling mags about making a in ring comeback and training a year out now he pretends God told him to get back in the ring....WACK
Ya, right !
What a bunch of horse shit !
Shawn is my all time favorite wrestler, but from 96-98 he was the biggest prick backstage ever. He was also the greatest in ring performer ever.
It is obvious why he has a attitude problems during 1992-1998
Stingar Sting is a 12 year old kid who is up past his bedtime. His parents are going to be mad when they find out he is still on his computer. It's a school night son.
You think he was only a bad person for 2 years?
he did put shawn over.. shawns greatest single moment? when he beat bret in the iron man match..
Shane Helms said Shawn's Born Again gimmick was exactly that, a gimmick. Judging from this interview, I believe him.
Shawn doesn't admit to anything. He makes vague references to bad shit he did in the past, but denies every specific accusation. Before trying to turn Bret Hart's anger around on him, with a fun little bullshit comment about all the forgiveness in his heart.
If Shawn actually did turn his life around because of religion, good for him. Not the path I would have taken, but I'm not Shawn Michaels. But this whole interview reeks of salvation-for-show.
Guys an ass and always will be, well said.
Nah he's legit born again but he struggles with his demons like all people that is why once in a while you'll see old shawn pop up
There's no way he is a faking it Shawn is a very different dude
I was surprised to see the way he talks in this interview, but that's only because I've seen interviews after this where he has been far more humble than this. I'm firmly in Bret Hart's camp, as I am a fan on him, but I will say that Bret pulled no punches in his comment. Nor should he have. But it's got to be hard for anyone to sit there and take that comment. He is barely a year clean in this interview, from the change I've seen when he's spoken in later interviews, there seems to be a definite change in him. I also think, that a lot of stuff people have said about him isn't true, even though he was an asshat.
Why? Because he doesn’t specifically spell it all out for you? He didn’t want to go into his personal life and he shouldn’t have to.
"I've got the goooood lord. The good lord's goin' dowwwwn onnnn meeeeeeeeee."
Im not talking about in montreal. Im talking about before wm 13 when he was meant to drop the belt he faked an injury and 'lost his smile' cos he didn't want to put anyone over.
bretts comments about Shaun were 100% bang on.
Yes praise the Lord ✊🏼🙏
The Lord's a work
Bret Hart should've put him over; not because Shawn is a great guy but because that's how the business went for generations. You lay down when the boss says lay down; or he'll make you lay down...that's how it is in this industry.
or when you are on your end of your contract and going to the other rival corporation
HBK Knows his Mafiso stuff, that’s awesome comparing Vince to John GOTTI, and himself, to Sammy The BuLL
Born Again Shawn: Thank you very much, and thank you for putting me in that class of big names even though i'm probably down the bottom there.
90s Dickhead Shawn: Hell no I wont put anyone over ever might as well just lose my smile and go home
He’d also be like “I’m the icon of this sport those nimrods can’t lace up my boots”.
@@stevanaldape3424 And he'd be right.
@@VideoHostSiteok kyle 😂🤡
shawn was the best hands down
Please. If he was the best why couldnt he beat WCW in the Monday Night Wars?
@@humblehugh23 because it takes the entire company to do so, Ted Turner put a lot of $$ to smother vince and wwf at the time. No one performed better than Michaels in the ring, everyone knows that, psh
@@humblehugh23 last time I checked he was on the winning team?? And THE GUY on the winning team before his back was destroyed at the rumble in 98
@@danielocean3699 they didn't win because of him tho
14:13 for just a few seconds you can see the old HBK talking as he says “the same guy” in reference to Bret Hart
Shawn: *speaks on Curt Henning's loss and what a tragedy it is...*
Host: "you know what Shawn? I'm gonna cut you off. Thanks for being on the show."
Man, this show was just something else.
The lord above does AMAZING THINGS all the time. Godbless us all🙏🏻❤
The Lord's a work
Shawn was much more honest here than I was expecting. Still a narcissist though. Not sure about the faith, but the modesty seems really insencere.
The best of the best in any industry usually have an ego.
Praise Jesus forevermore
Jesus is a work
3:58 You can see that his old self and new self were still battling in this moment.
Shawn found his smile and god.
In this interview we can see the new HBK is more special and Honest than before like 90s.
You're just saying that because you want to praise someone who's acting religious. It's so transparent.
This dude seems to ask questions on his interviews, then asks other questions before they answer, it's annoying.
+Steven Taylor The show is only 30 minutes long. HBK is the greatest wrestler of all time in my opinion but not a really great interview. He tends to ramble on and on without getting to the point. If Landsberg doesn't do this the interview would go nowhere.
You’re so right he does this with everyone. Guy likes to hear himself talk, asks questions and doesn’t want to hear the answers.
No. It is annoying. But is the right way to ask questions to someone who don't want to answer.
You don't Know shit about journalism
Facts
Point blank: Bret Hart refused to drop the belt, Bret hart was leaving to WCW, Bret Hart didn't do the right thing; thus forcing Vince's hands'.. he's the boss and at the end of the day, as Stone Cold says, Bret got fired.. end of story.
Bret was ready to drop the belt on the next RAW
Tintsa he was out of contract and they couldnt take that chance, he could of left with the belt
Not for nothing, but I read that the whole Montreal Screwjob was Vinnie Mac's brainchild to give the Hitman a bit of momentum going into WCW.
Will Smith Sooner or later people will realize it was a work contrived by Vince to get Bret some momentum going into WCW.
Will Smith Of course they would run with the joke after Hitman left, the momentum worked both ways only WCW couldn't capitalize on the Hitman 'cause Bischoff didn't know what to do with him and Bret would've been grossly out of place in the Attitude Era.
best anchor ever.
Most annoying anchor ever, always cutting people off.
***** he asks questions no other anchor would ask, seems like he is a fan of wrestling because his questions are fan based, unlike larry king and others who always ask for a close ended answers.
He cuts 'em off when they don't answer the question or try to dodge it
+Marvin D he cuts them off when they are trying to void giving a straight answer. Best anchor ever because he keeps them on point and doesn't let them piss around with fluffy bullshit answers.
+Hallucination agreed.
Shawn Michaels: The Lord said I should wrestle again.
USA: OK, that's normal.
The world: WTF
Because- other countries don't have religion...?
Lol Well, America isn't a nation of godless communist heathens who worship their local government official. (At least we didn't used to be)
2)We're a Christian nation who built the greatest country in human history 💪🙏
hmmmm, most delicious cringe 😃
Yeah, because Vince’s checks ran out
Miss these interviews 🤣
Shawn is the king!!
"When mortals won't speak to you you find a higher power" - Jim Cornette
A - I hope Shawn continues to let the Lord do amazing things in his life.
B - Nice hair cut, Bret. :)
The greatest ever
Shawn Michaels the goat
One guy would like to see on off the record is Jim Cornette
Please no that guy talk in circles very articulate but just babbles on and on
This interviewer is such a mark every time :D
Exactly my point.
Shawn used that as an example, don't jump to conclusion when you don't know the full story.
3:12 - that's actually Joshua 1:6, but it's awesome that somebody who received everything materialistic he had dreamed of put that as a second priority and accepted Christ.
18:10 sounds like this entire interview there champ lol
Im a person who grew up in the church I been around church ppl all my life I can tell when sum1 say they are born again christian and love the lord and when they are real or fake and full of it and I bet all the ppl here the ?ed shawn's faith being real or wrestlers sayin he was fakin and other ppl on other pod cast bet any money they dont go to church or dont even claim to no the lord and be a christian so how u no shawn's faith is fake Ive read where they say he keep changin his story shawn has been sayin the same thing for last 21 yrs. And as a christian myself I no how it when u have faith n god that ur goin to be ok and shawn had faith enough in the lord to go back to wrestling undertaker couldnt stand 1990s shawn and said he wouldn't spit on him if he was on fire but loves the shawn of today said they good friends he even said he could tell he was changed when he first came back and if taker is sayin shawn is a better person u can believe it and the undertaker is a born again christian too. And the lord forgives and i dont believe shawn should still have to keep explaining himself from how he was then
Fucking Landsberg man he tries to destabilise Shawn... but Shawn could care less
Lol, 20:55-21:11 ''... He still looks angry and that isn't healthy.'' AWESOME quote by Shawn.
I don't remember him admitting he knew on this show. I remember him admitting it on Raw in 2010, I think.
Along with his in-ring ability and turning his life around, the one thing I respect the most about HBK was the the fact that he talked to Vince McMahon like no one had, is, and will...and got away with it. Of course, we now know why HBK got away with it because Vince could say the passion in him....HBK = G.O.A.T
I still think he should've beaten Hogan @ SS 05
no one can talk to Vince like Shawn did. they don't have the balls or the pills to be able to. lol
I think Shawn meant to quote Joshua 1 5-6.
Well, he was in the first ladder match, hell in a cell and iron man match of which is one of the most famous matches in WWF history, he formed DX which was the most powerful group in WWF during their very successful period, won several world championships, when he won the iron man match he made Vince a heel after the iron man match(of which has definitely changed the WWF).
The first ladder match in WWE history was Shawn Michaels - Bret Hart. I’m thinking sometime in 1992
What did I start here?! Lol. Cheers Clips! Nice to know I'm not the only realist around here.
For a guy that was pretty into being born again and turning away from his mistakes, he has trouble acknowledging he made the specific mistakes. This guy won't take blame for anything. Losing respect for Shawn.
Dont hate on Shawn
He dodges a lot of questions. For instance, won't answer who he 'stepped on' once he got on top. Also, totally doesn't say why he could wrestle again following 1998 and how that suddenly changed!
+mattjolley His back was surgically repaired
Yeah, he was talking about Bret Hart. Look at the interviews from others who were there at the time including Austin who know it was Bret Hart who didn't submit to authority and give Vince the title when he told him to.
Some may say the point of salvation through Christ is to turn your life around. You can't have salvation and continue to be the same guy. I'm glad for Shawn and his decision to give his life away in spite of what he's done leading up to that decision.
Ur a class act,did what ur were told 2 do,LET IT B
I agree with shawn. I'm not religious though but I always do what my boss tells me to do coz they're the ones signing my pay check
He was great after 2002, but he was way more entertaining in the late 90s
What was the difference?
@@danielocean3699 Shawn was extremely wild in the 90’s and really played his “Sexy Boy” image to a T. He was burying alot of wrestlers and made out with almost every chick that came his way before he converted.
would lansberg shut the fuck up and let his guesst speak,they can barely get a word in when they come onto his show.i was disguisted at how he disrespected cm punk and his ufc career.all lansberg wanted to do was talk about vince in wwe and the day punk left.lansberg should taken cm punks choice to go mma seriously(the justin bieber joke was uncalled for by him.punk was been respectful even despite the stupid questions being asked.punk was an exceptional wrestler and i have huge respect for him more or less telling vince and hunter to go fuck themselves.the only thing punk should never have said was that hewould have thrived in the attitude era to austins face,that was disrespecful,similarily there is no way that cena would have survived wcw back in the early 1990s.orton and lesnar would have,correction lesnar would have survived the powerplant,but he would just be a blue chipper wrestler feuding with goldberg.
Man, does this guy own "The Keg steak-whoose and baerrrr" or something?
Everybody came from somewhere and and everybody has a past and when you change your life for the better you shouldn't be reluctant to talk about your conversation and give testimony. To me it would have been OK for him to say he was dirty in the past and did people wrong but God changed his life and he is not that man anymore 😎👌
The severity of his injury was greatly exaggerated, as he went hypochondriac to dodge getting someone over
Also, the kliq stepped on half the wwf roster
Youre still a nobody
people get mad at shawn because he stepped on peoples toes, he was and is cocky, and he did anything to get that title but that is what makes him one of if not THE best wrestlers of all time. Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Serena Williams, Muhammed Ali, Jay-Z etc. are all called the best because they did what they had to do and cared about no1 but themselves to get to the top and that is what shawn did so all the hate needs to stop on one of the best ever to do this
I’m surprised to hear that even though this is one big soap opera these guys didn’t want to go along with the bosses script.
Some of you speak as if you have all the Intel and know everything that went on behind the scenes. None of us know what we'd do in that spot. Vince is not at fault. HBK is definitely not at fault. Bret was in total control. The decision was made by Vince, and Bret was given more control regarding the passing of the torch than most do, and more than he should have. Bret did it to himself, and even though he's an all time great, he let personal grudges affect his professional position.
Yup
VINCE SCREWED BRET! Plain and simple thats why he got spit on
Kyndel McKnight yes but Vince moved on and the attitude era was born and Bret became just a shell of himself in WCW
No, go to 12: 52 of the video. There is nothing confusing about this. Shawn said that if he had to do it all over again he would take the same course of action in Montreal. He's justifies it by saying that the Bible says to submit to authority. Shawn says, "My boss asked me to do a job, and I went out there and did it," as if nothing your boss tells you to do could ever be wrong. Then, incredibly, he makes the gangster analogy without understanding that he did something unethical.
The feud between Bret & Shawn was a 2 way street, Bret always seems to forget that.
Yea. I kind of feel like Bret reminds me if a spoiled whiny brat. Where if he doesn't get his way Everytime he whines about it.. but then again at some point everybody whines when they don't get their way. But I do agree that Bret doesn't want to be responsible for his part.
is the first time in my life that i see this, finally i know why Shawn Michaels never turn heel again because he's a born again christian, i thought he was always a christian person
Shawn is right, unforgiveness is not healthy.
Much respect to Shawn, I read his autobiography too but what is it when someone finds religion they want to take everybody with them? I think its a personal thing. If you are going to find God it'll happen when it's,meant to be found. Preachy people just make others stop listening.
Shawn talks about acountability, and he 'says' he takes repsonsibility for hsi actions, but he never did. he just brushed it under the rug
Kobe Bryant
By met he means he asked for an autograph when Michaels was pilled up hitting in his gf lol most if the kliq still do shoot interviews in which they talk about how much they love Shawn but they all knew he was going to take and hold the number one spot and they all said it wasn't out of hate but passion do your homework kid. He is the greatest performer in the ring period no one out wrestled him no one out talked him and no one is more sought after to work with.
If you liked anything that came out of the attitude Era you like Shawn since him and hunter practically started it when they were doing the dx thing and getting fined nearly every week
"Submit to authority." Uh yeah...it should go without saying that you're not supposed to do that if you're being asked to do something unethical. It's funny that he brought up gangsters right after that.
