8 Wrestlers Who Had A Blood Feud With Shawn Michaels

Another figure that Michaels managed to earn the scorn of after achieving sobriety and finding God was Hulk Hogan. Hogan and Michaels have regularly been contrasted due to the way they represented the eras they presided over as world champions. Hogan was king in the golden era of hulking titans, whereas Michaels embodied the New Generation shift into fast-paced action with smaller workers on top.

One thing that Hogan and Shawn do have in common, is their ability to thrive in the WWE's diplomatic landscape behind the curtain. So, as you can imagine, when the two were scheduled to face off in an on-screen feud in 2005 there was more politicking than a UN convention.

Both men have different accounts of exactly what had been agreed with regards to how the feud would play out, but what is certain is Michaels was unhappy with Hogan's demands and made that clear when they stepped in the ring at SummerSlam 2005. Though he has since asserted that he did not go into business for himself, a clearly frustrated Michaels gratuitously oversold just about everything the Hulkster hit him with.
