10 Worst Times WWE Wrestlers Refused To Lose

10. Shawn Michaels Refused To Lose To The British Bulldog - One Night Only 1997

At SummerSlam 1992, the British Bulldog defeated Bret Hart for the Intercontinental Championship in one of the greatest feel-good wins in all of wrestling, taking place in Davey Boy's home country of England. 5 years later, returning for the One Night Only PPV, WWF hoped to get a repeat with Bulldog once again winning in front of his biggest fans.

Only Shawn Michaels (and yes, this won't be the last time you're hearing that name) was standing in the way of that plan.

While a hometown win would generate the biggest pop, HBK, being in maximum-backstage-politic-mode, argued that the biggest story coming out of the event long term would be Michaels becoming the first ever WWF Grand Slam Champion; a wrestler who had held the WWF World, Intercontinental, Tag Team and European titles.

The higher ups agreed and Michaels was given the victory. The British Bulldog was the reigning European Champion, fighting in-front of the second hottest crowd he's ever had on his side, not to mention that his sister was in the front row, was battling cancer at the time and who Davey was dedicating the match to all contributed to another notch on Michaels resume which he didn't need.
