Hulk Hogan and Shawn Michaels

A Mockery at SummerSlam 2005

SummerSlam 2005 was home of one of the most intriguing matches on paper, The Immortal Hulk Hogan versus The Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels, for the first time ever!

The match featured two of the most successful wrestlers ever to lace up a pair of boots, yet they couldn’t get on the same page. 

"We were going to do a best of three, and in the last minute, Hogan backed out. So that day, and I will admit this- I poked the bear!"
