    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.

    19:22 Yeah, I remember how Triple H and The Rock were on the brink of becoming stars in WWE back in 2002. Just not quite there yet. Stone Cold, Undertaker, Jericho, Benoit, Guererro, Angle; they all tried their best, but Hulkster was the big win needed for those two to finally get over. Before them, Hogan only lost to the big names in wrestling. Don't forget his semi-clean loss to Randy Orton in 2006 just before winning that same match. Nobody thought a guy called "Legend Killer" could come close to defeating a 50+ wrestler in the prime twilight of his career.

    Thanks for doing these. I wasn't even aware that they fought. And I'm a wrestling fan! Thanks.

    If I do recall I think that around this time Cena teamed up with HBK and Hogan in a 6 man tag on Raw the night after Vengeance 2005

    Two of the biggest ego maniacs in wrestling sharing a ring together. Only difference between the two? Shawn saw the errors of his ways, whereas Hogan was still Hogan. Even to this day, Hogan is still Hogan.

      Rock vs Michael's.... I think rock would have diced up Shawn on the mic. Rock was not above ripping apart a gimmick 😄

    I was at summer slam for free won a trip with my bro from 99.5kiss in San Antonio and we saw Shawn Michaels in the airport when we left he was not in the best of mood and we know now but we stayed in the hotel as the wrestlers and met everyone from McMahon to Hull Hogan what a great memory. I’m in the Batista match if you fast forward to when they fight in the crowd you can see me when everyone backs up 🤘🏾

    I'm glad you covered this. I think I saw this match back in the day, but I knew nothing of the hubbub this match caused.
