It isn't exactly a secret that WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels was one of the most difficult wrestlers to work with back in the 90s. He used his backstage pull on more than one occasion and had issues with several fellow wrestlers at the time. Michaels didn't spare WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry either, who was a newbie at the time. He and others went too far when they hid Henry's crutches after he broke his ankle.

"Well, it took me getting banished to Canada, because I threatened to kill Shawn Michaels. Like, they hid my crutches when I broke my ankle, and I just was like, ‘Okay this is it. Like, It’s over. I don’t want to do this.’ Aw, man, so I was like, ‘Man, you 180 pounds, man. I’d kill you man. It’d be unfair for me to whip you.’ And he was like ‘You threatening me?’ I was like, ‘I don’t think it’s really a threat. I’m just telling you like it is. Y’all need to leave me alone,'," recalled Mark Henry.

Shawn Michaels went straight to the WWE Chairman

Michaels told about Henry's threat to WWE Chairman Vince McMahon, who wasn't happy with how Henry handled things with Shawn. He made it clear to Henry that he was in the wrong here, and he "can’t just be beating people up". Henry was then sent to train with the Harts in Stu Hart's infamous dungeon.
