10 Things That Happened BEFORE Wrestling Matches WWE Won't Tell You

10. The Undertaker Threatens To Shatter Shawn's Sweet Chin

Shawn Michaels was a bit of an absolute c*nt before he found God - presumably in the radial longitudinal crease of his hands, considering how often he stares at them. Or perhaps in the corner of the arena.

One of the two.

He terrorised the locker room, never dropped a title legitimately, accused his peers of conducting extra-marital affairs, outwardly bragged that he wouldn't do a job, buried several talents to the boss, with whom the Kliq had wormed their way in, and was a generally toxic presence so awful at his worst that he thought nothing of bantering off a promise made by a wrestler in honour of his dying sister.

The business he was always so reluctant to do had to be done at WrestleMania XIV. Steve Austin was the man, and Shawn's back was in such a state that his career was thought over. Reports vary over how unwilling Shawn was to do said business, but 'Taker was willing to beat him up if he didn't. Doing his best baccy-chewing Clint Eastwood, he taped his fists up in Shawn's presence.

In a rare public appearance - they used to be rare, anyway, before 'Taker started introducing Pitbull in Saudi Arabia as if summoning spirits from the dead - 'Taker, not WWE itself, admitted it was true.

It made him look hard, which was more important than protecting his sacred business.
