10 Biggest Heat Moments From WWE’s Most Popular Wrestlers
1. Shawn Michaels Trolls Montreal
From making his return from injury in 2002, right up until his retirement eight years later, Shawn Michaels was always a squeaky clean baby-face - apart from a few weeks in 2005, that is. In the run-up to his match with Hulk Hogan at SummerSlam, HBK temporarily dropped his persona as WWE's born-again good guy and instead adopted the one for which he was known during the 1990s: an arrogant, trash-talking heel.
When Raw went to Montreal, HBK went super troll, playing Bret Hart's music in an effort to convince the unwitting crowd that their hero was about to make his first WWE appearance in nearly a decade. And, judging from the amount of heat he received when they realised they had been deceived, it worked. Michaels has seldom been on the receiving end of more jeers - not even during his peak.
