5 of the most controversial Shawn Michaels moments in WWE history

#4 Was HBK responsible for Vader not reaching his full potential in WWE?

Many fans throughout pro wrestling history feel that the late, great, Big Van Vader never truly reached his full potential in WWE, and if you ask Jim Cornette, it might be Shawn Michaels' fault.

In the above video, Cornette says he thinks Vader was not a flop, but that he never reached his full potential in WWE. Cornette added that Vader was a stiff, hard-hitting talent in the ring and that HBK was someone who was used to talents catering to HBK's style and working very light with him.

Cornette then tells the story of HBK and Vader once facing each other in a match, and Vader was laying into HBK with several stiff shots. After the bout, Cornette says Vader was visibly in tears, and said HBK told Vader during the match that if Vader stiffly pulled his hair again that it would be his last match in WWE and that he would have Vader fired.
