12. Michaels Tries To Get Out Of The WrestleMania Main Event

These days, the WrestleMania main event is the pinnacle for many superstars - particularly if they win, of course. Of CM Punk's many grievances, the most tangible was probably his inability to headline a 'Mania, despite riding an unbelievable wave of momentum, and being forced to step aside for a part-timer like The Rock. Back in 1998, things seemed to work a little differently. Here, Michaels attempts to get out of his WrestleMania main event with Austin, proposing that he act as special guest referee for a bout between Stone Cold and Mike Tyson. Great cowardly heeling.
