Line 103:
** Interrupted the feud between [[Bret Hart]] and [[The Undertaker]] to such an extent that both men pretty much forgot about each other and just started feuding with Michaels.
** Did it hilariously to [[Kurt Angle]] on Raw once. Angle had beaten Cena at Unforgiven, and Cena had since become champion. Angle was arguing that, since he won at Unforgiven, he should get a title shot. Michaels interrupted the segment, pointing out that "If that's all it takes: I won at Unforgiven. I want a title shot." Watch the clip if you can find it; [[Vince McMahon]] can barely keep a straight face through the segment.
** Yet another memorable example: the buildup the first Elimination Chamber match. The buildup had been focused around the feud(s) between [[Triple H]], [[Chris Jericho]], and [[Rob Van Dam]], mostly, with [[Booker T]] and [[Wrestler/Kane (wrestling)|Kane]] thrown in largely for flavor and the sixth spot being pretty much ignored. Michaels, who was supposed to have been crippled by [[Triple H]] at the previous [[Summer Slam]], showed up in a wheelchair, claiming that he was recovering. Then he cautioned, to [[Triple H]], "Don't hunt...what you can't kill." Then, after struggling to get out of the wheelchair, [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|he easily jumped out, started dancing and declared himself the sixth competitor in the Elimination Chamber]]. The buildup immediately shifted to being pretty much: Michaels vs. [[Triple H]], and also four other guys were there.
** Another Elimination Chamber example came a few years later, with a particularly competitive chamber including [[Triple H]], [[Chris Jericho]], [[Edge]],[[Chris Benoit]], [[Batista]], and [[Randy Orton]]. This was considered a rowdy enough group that a special referee needed to be appointed. All the contestants thought this was reasonable until Michaels' music hit. Every single man in the Chamber had previously feuded with (and been repeatedly kicked in the face by) Michaels, except Edge. Edge would join that list by the end of the match.
