5. In A Very Innocuous Spot, Michaels Injures His Back
We all know this as the match in which Michaels herniated several discs in his back, forcing him into retirement a few months later. He'd return several years later, but the injury is widely thought to have shaved years off of his career. The strangest thing about HBK's injury is how innocuous the spot actually is. He takes a back drop over the top rope to the outside, and seems to only brush the nearby casket with his back. Whatever your opinion of Michaels - obviously an incredibly controversial backstage figure at this time - it's hard not to be impressed by his desire to complete the match and go through with all of its big set piece spots.
