#3 Shawn Michaels refuses to lose to Vader

<p>
Shawn Michaels was known for being difficult to deal with backstage

It's easy to forget now, but in the mid 90's Vader was a monster that ran through every opponent he faced in WCW. The aptly named 'Masterdon' carried on his reign of terror when he moved to the WWF in 1996 crushing every superstar on his way to facing high-flyer, babyface and WWF champion, Shawn Michaels.

At SummerSlam 1996 the wheels had been put in motion for Vader to capture his first WWF Championship from Shawn Michaels. However, Michaels, who was known at the time for being a bad apple and for his backstage politics as part of the Clique, ensured that Vader would not go over.

The poster for SummerSlam 1996 stated that 'Opposites Attack', and that is pretty accurate in almost every way, Vader was a big monster, like something out of a horror movie and Shawn Michaels had the look of a guy who was in a boy band. A very influential boy band as it turns out, Michaels won, Vader lost. As a result, HBK's title reign carried on while Vader faded into obscurity.
