When you think of WWE stars who oversell, the name Shawn Michaels is likely one of the first that will come to mind. 

The Heartbreak Kid made a career out of flipping and flopping all over the place, whether he was taking a simple punch to the face, an Irish whip to the turnbuckle or an opponent’s finisher. 

Shawn’s theatrics lessened during his second, Born-Again spell with the company, but he made an exception for somebody who had an even bigger ego than his own. 

When HBK clashed with Hulk Hogan in the main event of SummerSlam 2005, he turned the clock back a decade and proceeded to bump around for Hogan in such an exaggerated way that everyone watching thought he was doing it just to stick it to the Hulkster. 

Seriously, there are six or seven separate instances during the course of the match where it looks like The Showstopper is full-on taking the p*ss.

According to Michaels himself, he was simply doing what he had done when he worked as a heel and fed for the heavyweights during his first WWE run, only times had changed and it didn’t look right anymore. This, of course, may have been a lie from Shawn Michaels.
