10 Times Wrestlers Couldn’t Hide What They Were Doing

10. Shawn Michaels Mocks The System - WWE Raw, September 15th 1997

It'd be nonsense to refer to the form Shawn Michaels was in as "rare" when he thrusted his figurative d*ck and literal stuffed shorts in Jim Ross' face during a September 1997 Monday Night Raw promo - he was so off the rails by that point that it was happening every week.

What's often forgotten about Michaels' darkly amusing act of on-screen insubordination was was what happened next.

Having played the raging pr*ck (again, literally and figuratively) about his impending battles with both The British Bulldog and The Undertaker, Michaels had the gall to call out 'The Deadman' safe in the knowledge that he wasn't there to answer him.

To make matters worse, Undertaker had just cut a taped promo on him from behind some mesh as a way to put over their eventual Hell In A Cell classic. Michaels' lassez faire response made a fool of his terrifying opponent and brought into question just how threatening 'HBK' even was. The unprofessionalism had been on display from the moment he'd walked out on the stage, and it was far from the first time. More on that later...
