20 WTF Moments From WWE Attitude Era Raw 1998 (Jan 26)

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.
