The intro gives you a great synopsis of Shawn Michaels in a nutshell. He became hard to work with because he hated himself so much because of his drug problems, but now he’s a Christian and a wonderful human being – there’s heartbreak and triumph. Read the rest of this entry

From the Vault: Shawn Michaels DVD


WWE – From The Vault: Shawn Michaels
Released: 6/24/2003
Two-Disc Set

To get you pumped up for the THIRD Shawn Michaels DVD set in almost seven years which will release on March 9, I’m planning on reviewing the first two releases and then hopefully the most recent one starting on Tuesday. Half of this set has already been completed by me and what hasn’t been completed is EXTREMELY awesome (HBK/Taker hell in a cell and HBK/HHH street fight), so here it goes.

Sorry for the delay. I hate to always have the same old story for being SO incredibly late with these things: school, work, and trying to have a life in between those two all getting in the way. And we begin! Read the rest of this entry

Raw is War (03.10.97)

European Champion: Davey Boy Smith (3/3/1997)
World Tag Team Champions: Owen Hart & Davey Boy Smith (9/22/1996)

Explosions are happening inside of a warehouse! Reflections of WWF superstars are seen on walls! People are fighting each other! IS THAT EVIL MARILYN MANSON MUSIC I HEAR? It must be the debut of RAW is WAR.

A tougher-looking show was just the thing the WWF needed at the time. We see pyro, we see the debut of the giant Titan Tron, and we see the steel rampway. All this change and yet we still have the same old red-white-blue colored ring. They may now have Attitude, but Vince is still totally 100% American. Those colors don’t run, ya know.

Your hosts are Vince McMahon, Jim Ross, and Jerry Lawler. Read the rest of this entry

Since the dog show interrupted Monday Night Raw’s regular timeslot and left WCW’s flagship program completely unopposed considering I highly doubt too many wrestling fans wanted to see which person’s dog took home the gold or whatever happens on those things, the WWF and the USA network fought back with a stacked card just three days before the next In Your House PPV with their own completely unopposed one-night-only wrestling program – THURSDAY RAW THURSDAY!

And they start us off with a bomb shell… “Tonight, the World Wrestling Federation Title will be declared vacant. Thus, this Sunday’s ‘Final Four’ winner will become the new World Wrestling Federation Champion. Tonight…live…Shawn Michaels will forfeit the World Wrestling Federation Championship.”

Your hosts are Vince McMahon, Good Ol’ JR, and Jerry “The King” Lawler. Read the rest of this entry
