The REAL Reason Shawn Michaels Was Never Part Of Smackdown

[JWS]

HBK also made $750, 000 a year for 4 years to sit on his ass at home.. I don't think money was a huge concern for him.

So it wasnt just triple H who didnt wanna work Tuesdays!! 😂😂😂

I'm not the most religious man in the world but, I admire people that stick to their values.

[ArthurKillingsworthJr]

Shawn Michaels fit RAW better. Smackdown was thriving without him with stars like Eddie Guerrero, Chris beniot, Kurt angle, edge, Rey Mysterio, taker, Lesnar, cena, Batista

[shamusfarmer]

Fair enough. He has conviction, most people arent so devoted to anything.

[eljohncabildo]

Shawn just doesn't want to make his tag partner mad.

[PaulKauffung]

As a man of faith, I get it. As a diehard Smackdown fan, this was a loss for the Blue Brand.

[jeremiahjohnson]

Now that's awesome. Even more respect for Michaels

• Shawn Michaels was to Monday Night RAW

what Kobe Bryant was to the LA Lakers

[christianboston]

Shawn doesn't want to go down the road he used to be on. Him attending church and Bible studies gives him structure and if it's one thing addicts don't have is structure and without that structure then that gives the devil an in. I'm in recovery myself and God is very important to me.

[WhoisVinnie]

He wanted to change to SmackDown just to face the Undertaker in 2010

[JJCanDes]

I'm suprised Vince didn't give Shawn a raise after that, just to proof that he determines his pay and not god.

[АлисаПапова-гч]

I think if he wasn't fired in 1999, perhaps we would see Shawn in Smackdown.

HBK vs Eddie Guerrero would have
been *AWESOME!* HBK vs Rey Mysterio was decent.

[mtgamateurnight]

LOL dude knew RAW was always the place to be.

[fredb]

Somethings are more important that work, money even ourselves. Good on him for not selling out on his beliefs 👍

[jerrodlo]

Hbk vs Guerrero would've been great. That's a good match up right there.

[RipperRoo]

It made the Taker vs HBK Mania Matches that much epic. Amen 🙏🏿💯

[craiglanyon]

Vince was in the middle of persecuting Shawn in 2006 along with Shane because of Shawn’s faith. Even by making fun of God in church at the altar. Just like in the days of Rome where the Romans and Jews joined forces to attempt to ruin the Christians in Israel.
