Sean is great in ring, no doubt, but he does need proper opponents for great matches. He could wrestle a broomstick to a good match. Like 3.5/4 stars. Hahaha.
This is what the WWE is missing. Character driven stories that build up over years with no contrived intent. The HHH v. HBK fued wasn't just great it was inevitable. It was 1000% in their two characters that this would happen. 'I was using you to get to the top. You were using me to stay at the top.' This is absolutely the HHH & HBK characters there is nothing at all forced with this story. They weren't just thrown together with a contrived story. The characters drove the story not the other way around.
@@solascriptura-e7t Jericho/Owens never had that potential in my opinion, simply cause both were booked to look like a joke far too often. Remember that Owens didn't have a single clean title defense despite holding the universal title for almost half a year. But Ciampa vs Gargano was exactly that, only on a smaller stage and with a less prominent backstory than DX had. I also agree that Ambrose vs Rollins absolutely had the potential had they booked it better. They would've had that huge backstory as the Shield was a big deal for almost 2 years and also built their rivalry on one of wrestling's most infamous betrayal angles. Sad it never worked out the way it should have...
I remember I hated HHH during this time period even my mum hated him, all those dirty tactics he played, the sledgehammer he used on his opponents. Goes to show he played a heel character really well. God I miss those days of wrestling.
Facts hbk my fav all time they had so many matches , street fight , last man standing 3 stages of hell, HIAC elimination chamber , triple threat at WM etc
Huh? Shawn was a legend when he threw Marty through Brutus the Beefcake's window. The split of the Rockers was legendary. The ladder match against Razor Ramon? Legendary. His tag stint with Stone Cold when they were beefing with the Hart Foundation? I could go on.
Wtf?!?! He was a legend long before this feud w Stephanie's bitch...and if you didn't watch HBK before 2000 and want a fun,exciting 45 mins...cue up Hell in Cell 97....from entrances to final bell this one has it all....
Any good feud in wrestling has to be believable. Besides Austin vs Vince, this is one of my favorite WWE Feuds because the storyline really made sense.
Yeah exactly 2 dudes with a past that the fans knew it was real and they worked their individual careers into a fued that made sense and you could understand why the fued started and both hhh and hbk were right, hhh was right because he was always overshadowed by hbk in the beggining and wanted to show that ever since 1999 hhh that he was the man and hbk was right because he was backstabbed by hhh...both men had their own legit reasons to go to war against eachother
Man dude, talk about childhood memories for me bro. This was the feud that got me hooked into pro wrestling. People can say what they want about Triple H (trust me...I'm not a fan of his NXT stuff), but the dude was great as a heel. They certainly don't book feuds like this anymore. Those were the days.
@@smhgaming3259 Well no, he had 5 reigns in 3 years and he held the title for 616 days out of the first 943 days of the World Heavyweight title's existence. That's 65%: quite a reign of terror.
It is really amazing what Shawn Michaels was able to do in the second round of his in-ring career after the first retirement. It’s like he never skipped a beat. You might hate the guy’s guts but can’t deny he was one of the very best to ever do it.
@@lilbeezyspc thats coz after summerslam he cut his hair as he did not think he was gunna wrestle and vince convinced him to come bk for the elimantion chamber
@@LSTORMTheMC me too. Me and my friends made paper Championship belts with cardboard in them (I would make the belts for us) Really miss those days of WWE. Now, it's watered down entirely
The Triple H and Shawn Michaels rivalry was one of the greatest of all time, it had a great story and it produced a series of great matches, my favourite is their first one from Summerslam 02 and it was absolutely fantastic. Thank you so much for covering this and keep up the good work.
Only part of this rivalry I didn’t like was when Triple H attacked Shawn in the parking lot and the very next week they were just like “Oh it was Triple H” even though the week before Shawn pissed off Booker T, Big Show, and The UnAmericans. There was enough going on there that they could have kept it going for weeks and showing Triple H taking people out and attack others acting like he didn’t do it
This feud was started cause of the backstage heat the two had, at the time. Before, Shawn had come back. Everyone knew...Cause, it got leaked. So, they sped it up. The nwo angle was phased out. No kliq angle. Cause, everyone was gone.
I was there at Summerslam 2002 and for Survivor Series 2002 those two matches I was waiting for this rivalry was one of the best in the 2000s everytime Triple H and Shawn Michaels locked up it was guaranteed to be a classic match my favorite match outta this rivalry was Wrestlemania 20 because I was there but, alone it's a tie between the last man standing match or the Hell In A Cell match. Thank u for telling one of my favorite rivalry
Shawn Michaels didn't lose a single step during the time that he was on the shelf from 1998-2002. He stole the show at WM 19 vs. future AEW World Champion Chirs Jericho, WM 20 in the 3 way dance vs HHH and Benoit, WM 21 vs. Kurt Angle, and WM 24 vs Ric Flair. His matches vs Vince at WM 22 and Cena at WM 23 maybe weren't show stealers, but they were still damn good. Oh and his two matches with the Undertaker at WM 25 and WM 26...were off the charts. I had stopped watching wrestling by the time those WMs rolled around, but I did watch the HBK vs Undertaker matches later on. The guy was just phenomenal. His comeback was sorely needed as wrestling had hit a lull at that point in the early 2000's. WCW and ECW were dead and buried. Impact Wrestling (then NWA-TNA) was largely unknown at the time. That left the WWE as a standalone with no competition and the product had waned since the buyouts of the previous competition. HBK's return was just the spark that the business needed at the time.
That Raw match was one of the most intense nights of wrestling I can remember. I remember actually crying for Shawn Michaels to win and the emotional rollercoaster of that finish. I'll miss the days when something like wrestling could get that kind of emotion out of me
It’s crazy that Shawn got better after his return in my opinion, he had countless great matches with many wrestlers like HHH, Kurt Angle, John Cena, RVD to name a few
Shawn could have wrestled in a suit of armor & still had a 5 star match with nearly anyone. How he was able to wrestle period after the back surgery he had is remarkable.
Wanna remind everyone that HBK was the real leader of DX, not Triple H. Hunter became the leader only after Shawn was injured during a match with the Undertaker
This storyline is one of the best ever in wrestling history. My only knock on it looking back was that Shawn only had a one month title reign upon returning. However, you cleared that up in that it was Shawn’s idea to drop the title because his plan was to retire again. That said it was cool of HHH to put his buddy over while simultaneously trying to cement himself as the top guy. I still would have liked Shawn to of had one more legitimate run with the title though.
I agree, I think that Shawn had elevated, a bit like the Undertaker, to a status where he didn’t need the belt because he was a step above, a Legend if you will. Whereas hhh although already great, still needed the belt to be the top star.
i once saw these two in an april(i think) 2004 houseshow in manchester and they gave everything even for a non-televised event i was shocked when HBK bladed. i certainly felt like i got my moneys worth
Hhh knew what he was doing since he joined WWF. He went straight to the top guys to join their group and then was with hbk then hooked up with the bosses daughter. Smart guy
The thing I hated the most about this fued is that it was EXTREMELY lopsided. HHH always won the match, or came out on top. HBK never had his moment of finally getting his win in the feud. It still bugs me that HBK did not win the Hell in a Cell match that would have been PERFECT to end the fued.
That's because most of this feud happened during HHH's "reign of terror". He literally beat everyone in that locker room or found a way to get the last laugh from 2003-2005.
@JV Harbin yes. He won the belt from him. That was the ONE time HBK won in the feud that was not somehow taken from him. SummerSlam he was hit with the sledgehammer, he lost the belt to HHH after he won it. HHH beat HBK three times in 04. For a great feud to be great, you need to have both sides try to one up another. This feud was entirely lopsided in my opinion.
Thiple H has the solid crowd reactions everytime he came out before he stopped wrestling he never got booed everytime it always the same reaction and no other wrestler can say Cena gets booed off and on
Just like you'd have babyface characters like John Cena or Roman Reigns, who would get booed as often as they'd get cheered, you'd have heels like Triple H or the Undertaker who would still get cheers scattered amongst the boos because they were that good both on the mic and in the ring.
What Made This Fued Is That They Are Best Friends In Real Life.. Everyone Knows That Hunter Is One Damn Good Heel,And Hbk Is a Awesome baby face.. This is why that era and the Talent of it's Top Star's,Crush Nowadays Professional Wrestling storylines
This feud actually got me into wrestling, so I’m incredibly thankful and it’s still one of my favourite feud, and yes I am thankful for the rain of terror my generation is weird I know.
I’ve recently started to enjoy Triple H, so a detailed insight about a feud I had no idea happened (at least for as long as it did, I thought it was a couple matches only), is awesome. I’m enjoying reliving the good old days through your videos, so thanks for your good work!
I have never forgotten that Raw match that ended in the double pin. I was devastated when I was announced as a draw. But definitely the best Raw match of that year!
honestly I can say the hardcore match between Shawn Michaels vs triple H SummerSlam 2002 is one of my favorite matches of all time definitely in my fave 5 as Booker T would say
This beef was crazy it wouldn't end. Those guys over at Wrestlelamia better watch out you, you coming for the title🥇. Good video you're true wrestling historian😁👍🏿
Thank you for mentioning that great HHH/Michaels match from Raw. I remember watching it, but I haven’t been able to find it since. I just remembered how great that finish was.
I often wondered how their feud would've panned out during the year 2000. I can only imagine...especially since HHH was feuding with Foley, Rock, Jericho, Angle and Benoit.
Man, 2002 is one of the best years in wrestling history.The start of the Ruthless Aggression Era, the return of Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair and the NWO, The Smackdown Six, the rebirth of Hulkamania, the debut of Brock Lesnar, THQ released Smackdown:Shut Your Mouth came out, Chris Jericho becomes Undisputed Champion, it has some of the best pay per views ever and more. What a time to be a wrestling fan.
I've had this in my 'watch later' folder for so long and finally sat and watched ... dude you are so good at this and should be proud of the work you do!
As a big hbk fan (ive been a fan since WM 5 When He Was In The Rockers) i love when you do hbk vids. think u should of mentioned that during the nash vs hhh fued that hbk was always there and around as he was still kinda fuding with hhh as the same time nash was.
Shawn Michaels vs Bret hart will always be the most real rivalry but HBK vs Triple h will always be my favourite! It was the perfect story! These two had enough classic matches and moments to easily fill a 2 disc dvd!
Triple H(the game version), Hollywood hogan and roddy Piper might be the best heels of all time… I get that Flair was a heel in the 80s but he was way too loved and was only a heel because everybody couldn’t be the baby face at the same time
HBK & HHH... two of my least favourite professional wrestlers of all time. I'd rather watch Disco Inferno or Iron Mike Sharp. Both of whom were far more entertaining.
Even though I knew at this time that wrestling is predetermined, this feud felt very real and personal. Like there was real backstage heat between them.
At a time when wrestling sucks due to shoddy writing and lack of live audience, you’re saving the day, my good man.
I was fortunate to watch their match live in Afghanistan in 05. Helped me forget where I was for a little while.
Wow I can only imagine
Invading another nation eh
Fukin another country up , i feel for ya , must have be hard , going to war with a country and still not knowing why you're at war with them
Thank you for your service
I'm sure Israel appreciates your service.
Shawn can wrestle a broomstick to a 5 star match
Sean is great in ring, no doubt, but he does need proper opponents for great matches. He could wrestle a broomstick to a good match. Like 3.5/4 stars. Hahaha.

This feud took HBK to legendary status. And with all of these 5 star matches Shawn made Triple H the man, the one superstar. HBK is out of this world

Shawn's legitimate injury at Taboo Tuesday is often over looked. What a effort.
When Shawn kicks up in their Summerslam match. The crowd. 🙌🏻

Man, 2002 is one of the best years in wrestling history.The start of the Ruthless Aggression Era, the return of Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair and the NWO, The Smackdown Six, the rebirth of Hulkamania, the debut of Brock Lesnar, THQ released Smackdown:Shut Your Mouth came out, Chris Jericho becomes Undisputed Champion, it has some of the best pay per views ever and more.
What a time to be a wrestling fan.
I've had this in my 'watch later' folder for so long and finally sat and watched ... dude you are so good at this and should be proud of the work you do!
As a big hbk fan (ive been a fan since WM 5 When He Was In The Rockers) i love when you do hbk vids. think u should of mentioned that during the nash vs hhh fued that hbk was always there and around as he was still kinda fuding with hhh as the same time nash was.
Ahhh back in the 2000s when every show felt like a ppv!
You are awesome and the theme songs you use are AMAZING

I remember it too. It was a garded pedigree.
It’s crazy how you can’t tell that hbk was rusty. The guy wrestled like he never left
Your delivery is so relaxing. The Bob Ross of wrestling videos
Ignoring the racial tone of the feud, Booker T could’ve instantly become a main eventer had he won at Mania 19. Such a missed opportunity.
One of the best feuds of the Ruthless Aggresion era
The second best behind cena vs Orton during the ruthless aggression era
The forgotten era!!!!
@@smhgaming3259 cena v edge is better than cena v Orton
Well that's imo cena v orton was really good too
Stephen Hummel No this feud is better
Shawn Michaels vs Bret hart will always be the most real rivalry but HBK vs Triple h will always be my favourite! It was the perfect story! These two had enough classic matches and moments to easily fill a 2 disc dvd!
I’ll never forget the promo ric flair cut on Shawn saying he’s not the best anymore and triple h is the best now
Triple H(the game version), Hollywood hogan and roddy Piper might be the best heels of all time… I get that Flair was a heel in the 80s but he was way too loved and was only a heel because everybody couldn’t be the baby face at the same time
would u guys make the name WWF if you owned the wwe and that that other wwf charity didn’t exist
Flak? Bruh. HHH is, imo, the greatest heel ever. I couldn't imagine a Babyface HHH for years and years. Maybe a few matches
HBK & HHH... two of my least favourite professional wrestlers of all time. I'd rather watch Disco Inferno or Iron Mike Sharp. Both of whom were far more entertaining.
My favorite feud behind Austin vs Rock
One of the very few people Michaels wouldn’t have buried backstage or protested putting over.
Great story telling...just love your channel
I still can't stand either one of them. Great video tho! Keep up the awesome work!
Takes a certain kind of personality and dedication to be a life long Heel.. Gotta respect HHH for that
I love the channel. I learn a lot every time you upload! ❤️
Maybe like and subscribble
Well done video as always. This channel is amazing for finding good insight and nostalgia
16;15 I was a Bentiot fan at the time..I FEARED this match. but man what a great match.
the best match that no one can talk about.
One of the best feuds is wrestling history hands down wicked intro music btw
Best friends in real life ie Paul Triple h and Shawn Michaels by Steve Irungu Jermaine
It would be interesting to see your Bio on " the Mr. McMahon vs God" storyline and it's heat or lack thereof. Your videos are awesome my friend 👍
I have serious questions of the legitimacy of hbks back injury
No he had problems with injuries. He even had to forfeit the title before a match with Bret at Wrestlemania.
Even though I knew at this time that wrestling is predetermined, this feud felt very real and personal. Like there was real backstage heat between them.
