12 years earlier, someone else took a very different kind of Superkick.

The match Shelton Benjamin shared with Shawn Michaels on the 2 May 2005 Raw was nothing short of special. No, it didn't rocket Benjamin up the card the way he might have hoped, but he can be proud of his performance that night. The former tag star can be similarly satisfied with the way he sold some Sweet Chin Music.

This is kinda' similar to the earlier AJ Styles entry. Benjamin attempted a springboard move, careened through the air at Michaels and was met with a short, painful stop as the legend planted his boot firmly in Shelton's face. Again, expert timing was essential if Benjamin was going to escape unscathed.

Check out the fan dressed as Hulk Hogan in the front row. He couldn't help but stand up and praise the lord above for such a phenomenal spot. Meanwhile, Shelton was probs checking his teeth to see if they were all still there.
