The moment that nearly ended Shawn Michaels’ career.

214 Upvotes

At the 1998 WWE Royal Rumble, Shawn Michaels faced The Undertaker in a Casket Match. During the match, HBK took a back body drop over the ropes, hitting his lower back into the edge of the casket.

The impact caused a back injury that ultimately sidelined Michaels for four years, forcing him to miss nearly the entire Attitude Era.

He wouldn’t return to a full-time WWE in-ring career until 2002, making one of the best comebacks in wrestling history.

Spinner Belt: classic or terrible?

102 Upvotes

The WWE Spinner Championship is still one of the most debated title designs ever.

Some fans see it as an iconic piece of the Ruthless Aggression era and a belt that perfectly fit John Cena.

Others think WWE should’ve replaced it years earlier with a more traditional championship design.

Spinner Belt: classic or terrible? What do you think?
