#1 Shawn Michaels threw a paper off Vince McMahon's forehead when WWE tried to script DX

Michaels and Vince

Shawn Michaels is regarded as one of the most respected pro-wrestlers in WWE history. This doesn't deter the fact that Michaels was one of the hardest wrestlers to work with during his heyday. The Heart Break Kid had genuine heat with Bret Hart and several others in the mid-90s.

His DX associate, Triple H, once recalled that when USA Network congratulated WWE, the use of profanity in promos was encouraged. On a rare occasion though, DX was asked to use scripted material, to which Michaels responded with throwing a piece of paper on Vince McMahon's forehead.

And then it started to become encouraged and then they wanted to try to script us, and I remember Shawn crumbling a piece of paper, throwing it and bouncing it off Vince’s forehead, and saying, ‘You didn’t write it before, you ain’t writing it now,’ and walking out of the room, and I was like, ‘I’m just going to go with him.’ It was tense but it was good.”
