The peak of the situation between them wasn't about Vader being stiff. Does the OP know this? It's because Vader missed a spot at Summerslam and Shawn threw a temper tantrum.

People shyt on Shawn for it for the same reason people shyt on Randy for the Kofi situation. Someone made a genuine mistake, owned up to it, but a petulant crybaby held them down for it for as long as they could.
No, it was a house show in Nassau right around Summerslam. Vader and Cornette have both confirmed this in interviews. Vader was being stiff, Shawn threatened him, and he cried. The Summerslam thing only doubles down on my point that Vader shoulda beat his ass

Vader could have easily whipped HBK's ass but he tried to be professional and HBK used his power and influence to hold Vader down. Its typical privileged white boy crap. They even do it to poorer white guys too. rather than working it out or stepping to him like a man, he went behind the scenes and used politics to screw Vader over.

Cornette told this story on the podcast recently (and several times before). They did a watch along of the Summerslam match and he went into detail about the lead up. He said Vader rolled out of the ring after that house show match with tears in his eyes and said that Shawn said if he ever grabbed his hair like that again he wouldn't have a job.

Cornette talks about it, basically said Shawn forced Vader to work safe and timid. Even explained how Shawn made Vader looked by a dumb bytch in the match because Shawn wanted to do his stuff and didn’t care for making Vader a monster. You can tell watching the match Vader was HBK’s lapdog especially when he was slow or missed spots.

Bottom line if it was a case where Vader caught HBK outside of an arena or wrestling situation, and he would face no repercussions for doing so, he would’ve gave Michaels 4 hard taps to the ribs and at least 2 to the face like he was giving cats in the corner during his matches

Vader woulda knocked HBK the fukk out like Shamrock, if he wasnt trying to be professional
Same nikka that got his eye popped out his head and kept putting in work, you think he scared of p*ssy ass Shawn :childplease:


You nikkaz are naive as fukk

Can Vader take Shawn one on one? Sure

But it was never gonna be one on one was it.

If Vader wanted to fight Shawn then he had to fight H³ as well.

Cant see that happening

There are different accounts of what went down that night

I think Taker just told people to pass the message onto Shawn about what will happen if he doesn't do business.

Dont think there was any real confrontation between the two especially with someone like H×3 around I think.
