I agree.. I rather just admire the person's work than be disappointed about the person..

I met my hero Bret Hart twice and both times he was cool. Not all idols are twats.

@Bru Rred What's wrong in appreciating someone's talent? Besides if the so called heroes in the community come out and talk to the people in the community every once in a while instead of being power hungry controlling psychopaths then a lot of people will look at the so called heroes as simply heroes..

@@davidcarter6938 I love Bret! One of my favorite people alive..

@Bru Rred its not just western society but ok 🙄😂✌

Those 2 had some of my all time favorite promos together, Hurricane was the only one back then who gave it back to the Rock that well & it was so cool & funny to see the Rock be the butt of the jokes like that

@Toby Williams Vince told a lot of people to do stuff. A lot of people said no with an explanation. The Rock said, ok no problem.

I've never heard of any backstage / real life issues with the Rock ... that's why he's GOAT

Thing is it was really fun too. Loved that feud.

The rock put over hurricane not to say Shane didn’t get himself over but the rock helped

One of the many times backstage politics from HBK got something stopped, unfortunately.

Exactly. It added well to his gimmick, which was pure comedy

I loved it. This is so sad, I LOVE HBK, he is definitely my favorite worker of all time, and even I met him once, when I was working at the DCU center, and we got to eat backstage in the same area that the wrestlers ate, I got to sit next to Big Show, HHH, Fit Finley, Gail Kim came through, and Big Show made an Asian Vagina Joke, it was awesome, but HBK was a Wicked dick, I wasn't like running over to meet him because I didn't want to get fired, But I thought maybe it was a bad night for him or something. But there are so many stories like this,when there's smoke there's fire, and here there is a forest fire unfortunately

This guy’s gimmick wasn’t funny

Like back at royal rumble 2002 when he tried to chokeslam Steve Austin and HHH.

He got buff bagwell fired

@@sc30002001 That's all crap. Buff was part of MANY WCW wrestlers that Vince didn't want/like. As this is why DDP was flopped to heel and came in with a shitty ass storyline with taker. Bagwell was gone after night one.

Shane Helms has been like that in every shoot interview I've seen him in to date. He's become one of the all time greats IMHO just for that.

@Bubba Sawyer kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e7xmbNCEramcfZs.html

@@sc30002001i disagree, whatever issue they had I'm sure it was resolved, Shane had a You Shoot "What a dick" and Bagwell was on the list, he doesn't speak ill of him, but points out he's had a bad encounter with him.

I’ve met the man twice and he’s always been cool.

In the YouShoot interview he called a good chunk of guys dicks but said they were good guys they just have their moments or some of the promotors can be dicks, but they have to be in their position.

Proud to be from the same area of the earth as Shane

i find it out funny how shane says he has buried anyone or used backstage politics . LOL When you are lowermidcarder you don't have that power. If Hurricane was maineventer would he be do that stuff

He just blew his record of saying something nice about everyone Shawn is the exception

Facts 😂

Who doesn't know that's been his nickname? haha

Boy toy lol smh

@@James-tx5pb or the name 🤔

I thought it was a knock against the Big Show. 😆

I've heard lots of people in the business talk about Michaels being like that to them & others. I've even heard Nash & Hall not say it, exactly, but strongly allude to him being like that a lot & getting the rest of the Kliq to be like that to back him up so I believe Shane Helms wholeheartedly

Plus, like he said, he really had no reason to lie. He worked w other big names, & says nothing but great things about them I think he would've liked nothing more than to have gotten along with HBK, but Michaels made it impossible.

Responding a little late, but I remember Dax Harwood said to Renee Paquette about the Kliq burying them in ring and Shawn burying him backstage over his mental health, I remembered hearing the story from “anonymous source” word for word the exact same story years prior, right down to Sean Waltman being the only one who thanked them before and after.

He's thinking about the good guys who never got a shot, he doesn't want that to happen to the business going forward. It was toxic, there is no other way around it.

Correction-it's his truth not the truth.

Corny said it best " I've found people find god when no one else will talk to them"

Being Shawn Michaels isn't the problem, it's that he can't escape being Michael Higgenbottom

@John Edward just out of curiosity how is he dumb for finding faith in God? I'm not calling you out I'm just curious. Do you have issues with people who have faith in God?

it just means you want to find your deeper self

@@justinsmith8135 It gave him the justification in his eyes to continue to be an asshole

Bret was always a stand up guy, so is Shane Helms. Vince lied to Bret after giving him his word so, Bret knocked his ass out.

@giftofgab247 At overselling and only having one memorable moment passing a title on to make another star maybe. Even that he owes Bret credit for helping Austin get over first.

HBK was the best there is best there was best they ever will be ....

Bret was also the better wrestler. Perhaps not as flashy but certainly consistently better matches against any and every opponent.

@@dustyvaughn528 Shawn was the best at giving man-love to Vince.

@@nickruiz2343 I love and respect Shawn Michaels met him so many times, always super nice. However, I don't like the fact that he kills animals and poses with the dead animal. Like he shot and killed a black bear and he posed with it and you don't eat the meat of a bear. He makes the claim that he kills animals for the food and to give to food banks, but its more of a sport because he mounts the head on his wall. That isn't christian like.

@@jrsmith1998 what?

Rhea Ripley losing to Charlotte was pretty similar to Booker losing as far as a “no-brainer” in booking that should’ve happened the other way around. Obviously Booker’s storyline was based on race, but I think you get what I’m saying. I’ll never understand why Booker or Rhea lost at their respective title matches at Mania.

The Hurricane gimmick worked he was over.

@Brendan Herbstritt Not compared to the Undertaker's career, the wwe didn't make it work, & mostly didn't take it seriously during it's 4 year run

@Brendan Herbstritt Yeah and did the hurricane's career get better after this? No it didn't, and his match with the Rock wasn't great, the Rock was distracted by Stone Cold then Hurricane rolled up Rock for the win. They didn't even play Hurricane's music afterwards.

@ajay Kennedy He was over with the fans but the Wwe authorities held him down, he had charisma & a great move set, if the wwe took the Undertaker's supernatural gimmick seriously, they should've done the same with the Hurricane's superhero gimmick

@@youtubemember1115 That's because The Hurricane is not Taker.

@Ice booy Well, Shane said, in a interview with Kayfabe Commentaries, that they patch things up when Shawn congratulated him when he had his first child.

@CMACKCHILL This ice boy character is exactly what he is. A character. If he doesn't like me repeating myself, why did he ask me if Shawn called Helms personally? If the problem has been smoothed over, why does it matter?

@CMACKCHILL I just know that Helms said that Shawn was saying good thing about Shane being a father.

Wow tweeting someone about being a father so noble

Well now Shawn is running NXT and doing a great job, I like to think his a changed man

Rise 555 I agree he always seems very respectful but very brave and ready to defend himself

Met him at OVW Christmas Chaos a couple of years back...Really nice dude, very down to Earth & cool.

Forgot, he wrestled Abyss that night, who is also a big sweetheart.

He is a loser

@@starofthemidnight5411 troll

CM Punk said in an interview, the problem with WWE is the over competitive atmosphere in backstage. Every one wants to be the 1 and will make everything they can to remain with their spot as much as they can. So Shawn caring so much about Helms only means how talented he was and how afraid was Shawn about him taking a part of the "top guys", in other words, he felt threatened

@@paulmccartney3959 no shit. Shawn micheals and triple H killed many careers cause they were afraid of competition. Why do you think WWE hated punk?

Facts.

Any link on that match?

@@theluffy99 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oNiin8R-qLjJl4U.html

Just watched this. Helms may have made a mistake at the end of the match, but it's clear that Orton is concussed and that's when things go to shit. Helms hit Orton with a nasty looking and solid sounding elbow that gets an audible pop before a neckbreaker. After this Orton seems to have problems moving and his eyes are darting back and forth all over the place. Classic signs of head trauma. Obviously there was a planned kick out, but someone called an audible and it shows.

You do know that MOST people are not supposed to kick out of the pedigree right? In fact Nash was supposed to jump in and stop the count.

Not Maven.

@@Speedyreedy1218 Yeah basically, before he "changed", he used to be a dick even to the top guys. Then he found religion and decided to only be a dick to the midcard and lower guys.

The truth is, the Hurricane character was more over than Shawn was in the 2002-2006 period. He was working more frequently with top talent in small programs than Shawn was. Hurricane was working with Rock, Austin, Taker, Eddie, Benoit, Angle, Cena, even Brock.. whereas Shawn had to politic his way into programs with Austin, Taker, and Cena until he finally got the point. Of course he was going to sabotage a guy he viewed as a lesser... despite the fact that Helms is one of the highest regarded guys in the WWE locker room back then.

@@Unlitedsoul OK, let's remain objective - Hurricane was never even remotely as over as Shawn Michaels.

@@PiCheZvara Yes, let's remain objective. Shawn wasn't nearly as over after the first D-X run, and returning in 2002 after years injury. He'd been overshadowed by everyone else, and was never much more than a high midcard guy until he retired. He was then what Jon Morrison is right now. Maybe a bit better than Morrison.

Well it bit him in the ass. Literally everyone uses the super kick now. The sweet chin music has lost its grandeur due to that.

Shawn is a bitch in real life though, he ain’t no bully, he’s a passive aggressive, indirect pussy that uses other people’s power against others. He’s a manipulator, not a bully. A bully is someone that will use their own power against people physically or mentally. Shawn gets others to do his dirty work, he can’t do it himself.

Nobody liked Isiah Bird didn’t like him Pippen didn’t like him Nor did Ewing

Ummm really you pulled that analogy out of your ass. The HUGE difference is that in basketball the winner/loser isn’t decided before the event.

He's enjoying retired life and thankfully grown up from the assholish behavior in the 90s and actually put over young stars like Edge, Orton, Cena and others..but sadly people don't want to see that and would rather dwell on the negatives of what he did...or some would rather hate on HBK because it's the "cool" thing to do. Nonetheless I'm glad he's changed his life for the better.

@@American-Zero So did Hogan! Hulk Hogan put over other Wrestlers.. He is still seen as a politic playing backstabber..

@@kenrickeason The difference between Hogan and HBK is HBK is settling for retired life with nothing left to prove while Hogan is still about ego and putting himself over.

Name 1 top guy who didn't do politics

@@ravensblm You bring up a good point. The commenters in this vid act like HBK was the only one who did politics for his own benefit when many before him did so..some even did worse. How come they're not crucifying them?

I have a friend who lives in Raleigh, her accent is sexy!

North Carolina?

Jeff Hardy’s accent is very apparent but Matt’s you can’t really tell.

Yeah I think you’re right. I was trying to find the Exact moment where there was a blown spot though

@Bubba Sawyer My interpretation about the selling was that Hurricane took a dropkick from Randy and was supposed to take more heat from Hunter, but quickly reversed and took over the offense and tagged in Shawn. From there, Shawn let Evolution get the heat, leading to the big tag to Kevin. Maybe that was the plan, but it made no sense for Shawn to be the face taking all the heat. Hurricane was the odd man out, as the PPV was building to Hunter vs Kevin and Ric vs Shawn, with Randy costing Shawn the match and building to a feud between them. Upon second viewing, it seems the blown spot was supposed to be Randy attacking Hurricane after Ric got knocked down, but Randy looked completely out of it from the neckbreaker off the second rope. Maybe Randy had a concussion, because even the referee checked on him at 9:25. So perhaps Randy was supposed to hit the RKO to get the win, but Hunter had to improvise with the Pedigree instead. Beyond that, no idea.

@@markrobinson9394 I'd suspect that you are probably correct about Shawn being angry about taking the heat while Shane being lower on the pole than Nash and Micheals.

I saw the match and Earl hebner fucked up horribly and the powerbomb was to clean up the mess earl made.

I've never met Taker, but have met Kane a few times and I agree. Kane was really down to Earth and chill. I don't see him caring.

That’s because they were about the business, not themselves. They will always try to get the younger talent over.

@Bubba Sawyer They were like the coolest guys you could ever meet. Tiny Lister Jr was super cool just like them. Tiny Lister Jr and Kane were the awsomest. Taker had to roll quick but he was awesome too.....

When you work with someone, that IS them in-person--in fact oftentimes you see people's full narcissism and pettiness come out in the workplace. And when they decide to fuck with your career, they affect you in a very real way, oftentimes in the long-term. If someone intentionally and maliciously screws with and undermines their coworkers on the job, they are a piece of shit, full stop.

@@chilliecheesecake I don’t know if I agree with you. When you take work seriously of course you are going to act a certain way. For example, if you are a boss you have to be strict but that doesn’t mean you are like that all of the time. Shawn’s friends even said that wrestling was his life.

@@chilliecheesecake Not always true. In several of my instances, you have a professional face and a personal face. You often think of someone as a dick in a professional setting, but if you get around them outside of work, you find that they're a decent guy.

I met him at an autograph signing the night before he won the World title at Survivor Series 2002. I told him DX was a stroke of genius, and he did that laugh of his. Shook my hand and everything. Great memory. I was wearing that "don't hunt what you can't kill" shirt they made when he came back & a DX bandana on my head.

Oh, that Bret, always brooding. He's so crazy.

Lol, just because he was nice that day doesn't mean he's always nice

It’s easy to be nice to strangers, it’s not as easy to be nice to your coworkers

He was an asshole backstage not towards the fans.

Bret hart always said Hbk was feminine

@Ice booy Hogan was a dick you're wrong

Screw that twinkle-eyed fuck

I'd say that Jose Gonzales is much more disliked than Shawn Michaels. Michaels may have been a total dick, but he never stabbed another wrestler to death in a shower.

That dishonor belongs to both Chris Benoit and Jose Gonzalez. Like somebody here just said, at least HBK hasn’t killed people. He has killed careers, but not people.
