31 Years Of WWE SummerSlam Mistakes

13. SummerSlam '05 - Sulkamania

SummerSlam 05 Mistake

Pitting a couple of industry icons against one another in the main-event of SummerSlam 2005 was anything but a mistake. Expecting the pair's uncontrollable egos to remain in control was a different matter.

It didn't take Lanny Poffo to figure out that Shawn - even a supposedly mature, born-again Christian Shawn - wouldn't take kindly to lying down for the Hulkster. And so it came to pass that a slighted 'Heartbreak Kid' responded to having to lose a pretend wrestling match by bouncing around the ring like Sonic. In his attempt to make a mockery of Hogan, Michaels made a mockery of his own claims of being a "changed man". Unedifying.

He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
