    When Shawn Michaels met Hulk Hogan at the 2005 SummerSlam PPV, fans witnessed something quite unusual inside in the ring. A battle of the egos took place as HBK and Hulk's backstage issues transferred into the ring, and Shawn Michaels decided to oversell everything the Hulkster did in the ring. It's been widely reported that Shawn Michaels vs Hulk Hogan was supposed to be a match series where the 2 legends would share victories over a few pay per views, but when Hogan decided it was a "one and done" deal and when it was decided that Hogan would win the match, Shawn Michaels decided to make a joke of the match by selling all of Hulk Hogan's offense with high amounts of gusto.
    Hulk Hogan made his WWE return in 2005 after receiving a Hall of Fame induction. Initially, Hogan and Shawn Michaels joined forces, but it didn't take long for Michaels to turn his back on The Hulkster. A storyline developed where Shawn Michaels would say he never bought into the myth of Hulkamania, and Shawn turned heel in order to work this one single match at Summerslam. Many will remember Shawn Michaels dressing up in Hogan gear and making an appearance on a Larry King live ripoff, and many will remember Shawn completely ripping into Hogan at every oppurtunity.
    This video looks at the entire buildup of the Summerslam 2005 "Legend vs Icon" match. Topics covered include:
    00:00 - Hulk Hogan's 2005 WWE return
    05:32 - Shawn Michaels turns heel
    11:16 - Shawn Michaels dresses up as Hulk Hogan on Larry King Live
    15:05 - Shawn Michaels heel promo in Montreal
    17:55 - Hulk Hogan vs Shawn Michaels at SummerSlam 2005
    23:14 - HBK's final jabs at Hogan
    - Much More!

      @@kyleerrington8004 to “sell” is to make the other wrestler’s move look ultra effective. A good example is when the Rock took a Stone Cold Stunner. He flopped and flipped all over the ring to make the Stunner look super effective and powerful. Hogan is regarded as being a wrestler that you either sucked up to and do what he wanted or you’d be raked through the coals and end up doing it anyway. He had a lot of creative control and ended up with a lot of “political” control in the organizations he was in.

    HBK's heel promo in Montreal was one of the greatest heel promos ever.

    When will we get the official soundtrack for these videos ?!
    Man, I love the theme remakes used for this channel. My favorite channel on RUclips for sure 🤙🏻

    The intro music had me thinking something was wrong with how the bass wad going with the song then i realized it was a mix of Hogan's and hbk's entrance music. Brilliant work there man 👍👍👍
