10 Biggest WWE Summerslam Controversies

10. HBK Has A Tantrum Because Of Vader

When: SummerSlam 1996

What Happened: Vader was Vader.

Yes, that sounds ridiculously simple and smart-arsed, but it's true. One could, however, have opened the entry by saying: "Shawn Michaels was being Shawn Michaels". The then-WWF Champ was feeling the pressure of his title reign and wasn't exactly a mega-positive chap in 1996.

HBK's ego collided with Vader's stiffness to cause miscommunication aplenty at SummerSlam. During the main event, Shawn leapt off the top rope for...something on the big man. Vader didn't move as planned, so Michaels landed on his feet, stomped on his peer and yelled, "Move, A*shole!"/"Move, dumb sh*t!" (Jim Cornette has said both in interviews since).

Earlier, Vader had peppered Michaels with relentless strikes in the corner. Apparently, the champ didn't like that either, and he was already smarting from the former WCW man's 'eat you alive' approach on house shows. Seeing two top stars break down this way during a featured match was shocking at the time.
