Apparently, Shawn Michaels needed a little help

During the years of 1991-1996, the WWE was still very worried about steroids and had an independent lab test their Superstars. After all, Vince McMahon had to go through a rather messy steroid trial in 1994.

It might be surprising for some to know that Shawn Michaels test positive for steroids but in September 1993, that's exactly what happened. He was forced to vacate his Intercontinental Championship after his positive test.

Razor Ramon was given the IC Title in the meantime which let Shawn Michaels take it easy during his suspension and then get right back to work to head toward the Road To WrestleMania.

In the end, it kind of worked out for him because HBK and Razor Ramon ended up setting the score in a ladder match at WrestleMania X which will live on forever as one of the greatest matches of all time.
