9 Forgotten Times Shawn Michaels Was Pinned

9. Vs Kane - Raw 2006

The Vince McMahon feud really didn't do much for Shawn Michaels and his pin-fall record did it? The very first match on Monday Night RAW in 2006 saw Michaels go one-on-one against the Big Red Machine Kane, and the two put on exactly the sort of 15-minute Kane vs. Shawn Michaels match one would expect.

Michaels bumped around like a madman for his bigger opponent, and seemed to have everything under control as he hit Kane with his flying elbow from the top rope. As he set up for Sweet Chin Music, Vince McMahon returned to the arena and stated that if he used the move, he would be thrown out of the forthcoming Elimination Chamber match.

This was enough of a distraction for Michaels to turn around into a huge Chokeslam, allowing Kane to pick up the pinfall.
