      As much as I like Shawn, there are a few stories of him acting like his old self around this time, when he had supposedly reformed. He seems to be a completely different person from that time to now. I think he was on his best behavior when it came to people like Undertaker, who he wanted to earn their respect, but as you said, with lower card guys like Shane Helms and Cody, he didn’t seem to care.

It was a PPV where a supposed up and comer who's also the son of the American Dream and brother of Goldust (Two incredible in ring workers) botched a super simple move that also happens to be Shawns finish. Not saying it's justified for Shawn to do what he did, but it's not surprising that he got super pissed imo

    Shawn Michaels was always a strong dude for his size. He body slammed Vader in 1996. He also threw Yokozuna and Vader out of the 1996 Royal Rumble at the same time. Even at this age now, I bet he's still stronger than most of the roster. Stronger than wimps like The Mysterio's, The Miz, Sami Zayn, Grayson Waller, Seth Rollins etc.

      @@thelettern You know he didn't imply all the worst versions of "not mature" and "not humble" like you just did...from all the stories you hear from Cody himself, he always describes himself as immature at the time ("We weren't ready at the time, I mean Punk was, but I know I wasn't"). "Immature" doesn't automatically imply "90s HBK-immature" if that's what you think.
      And the same logic can be applied to his cockyness, mainly how he promoted himself in all the years between leaving WWE and returning...from the top of my head, and not verbatim, I can just remember the quote "I don't know why we thought we could wrestle 4 nights a month with the same consistent quality as if we wrestled 4 nights a week" which was a clear message about his lack of humbleness at the time. And again..."cocky" doesn't automatically imply "90s HBK cocky" if that's what you think.

Wrestlers like Omega, Osprey, AJ, etc. are amazing athletes and can do it all in the ring. Yet, guys like Cody, Triple H, Ric, and Dusty can have a program with anyone and make it matter.

    No offense but some unwritten rules sometimes seem to be weird and make no sense, even more these days. Don't get me wrong. Some of the rules will make 100% sense and exist for a good reason but some are there because at some point at some time someone said "Well that's what wrestlers do!" and everyone else followed, maybe because that guy was just higher in the "food chain" than the rest.
