10 WWE Opponents That Shawn Michaels Refused To Do Business With

10. Dean Douglas

Whilst Shane Douglas was an underground darling in ECW, his €˜Dean€™ Douglas days in the then-WWF were forgettable and only memorable for his nails on a blackboard and a cup of coffee with the Intercontinental Championship. In amongst his WWF stint, though, was a falling out with Shawn Michaels and The Kliq€ which we all know is never a good thing. With HBK the reigning IC Champ, there was talk of having Dean Douglas get a run with the WWF€™s secondary title. Michaels shot down any chance of working a programme with Douglas and has gone on record to say, €œHe was a dirtsheet hero. They built him like he was the second coming, but he had little talent.€ A bad match with 1-2-3 Kid followed, and stories circulated that The Kliq would purposely have botch-filled matches with Douglas to make him look bad. Many have claimed that Michaels milked his real-life injuries (from the infamous marine beat down) in order to forfeit rather than lose the gold, and whilst Douglas would be handed the IC belt, he€™d also lose it the very same night to Razor before Shawn won it back a month later. Either way, Dean Douglas had run afoul of The Kliq and his WWF days were numbered.
