Line 89:
*** Except when he's in DX - apparently, that gives him uber-[[Popularity Power]].
* [[Game-Breaking Injury]]: Shawn's aforementioned back injury.
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: If you listen to the lyrics of his theme song, Sexy Boy, there’s a lyric called “O''ff-Hands the merchandise''”… and this was before [[Older Than They Think| WWE went PG and before the Attitude Era]]. Remember, [[What Do You Mean It's for Kids?| many children were watching it along with their parents]], never mind what “merchandise” does it mean.
* [[Heroic BSOD]]:
** In the 2010 Royal Rumble, one of the biggest stories going in was [[Shawn Michaels]]' desire to face [[The Undertaker]] at ''[[Wrestlemania]]'' in order to try and avenge his loss to him the year prior (in a match that was widely considered to be the best of 2009), an since Taker is the current World Heavyweight Champion, the only way for Michaels to have a guaranteed stab at him was to win the Rumble match itself and challenge him at Mania. So in the Rumble match itself, [[Shawn Michaels]] survives a long stretch of the match (eliminating [[Triple H]], ''his own tag team partner'', in the process) and makes the final four, where he... goes out first, at the hands of [[Batista]]. The BSOD ensues immediately afterwards, only broken up briefly by Michaels trying to go back into the ring and taking his frustrations out on the referees before returning to a near-catatonic state.
