Shawn Michaels wrestled a test match in 2000

[Shawn Michaels pilled up]

SummerSlam 2002 was not his comeback match.

Who df does a hardcore match as their first match back.

at Shooter Shultz not being able to break the table after two T-Bone suplexes and the AGAIN after the powerbomb.

No wonder he was out of the biz a year later

I think Shawn was supposed to comeback earlier. 2001? maybe around Mania 17, but showed up so fucked up backstage they sent his ass home.

Yeah I think I read that in his or Jerikkko’s book. Crazy I have never seen or heard of this match online before lol. Wish he would’ve came back around this time when Rock was still active.

He was back by on the road with WWF full time by fall 2000 (which is why he showed up in shape during the Rikishi/Austin run over storyline) he was suppose to have a match Mania 17 but then got pushed to Backlash 2001. But yeah he showed up pilled up and coked out the day of the Nitro simulcast and was sent home.

Plans for Backlash were HHH and HBK vs Taker and Kane for the tag titles.

Plans were for HBK to be swapped in the two man power trip vs Taker & Kane at Backlash.
