#5 “Over the last few months I’ve lost a lot of things, and one of the things I’ve lost is my smile.” – Shawn Michaels

The infamous “Lost my smile,” promo from Shawn Michaels, was heartbreaking at the time for fans, as it meant one of the best superstars in WWE wasn’t going to be a part of WrestleMania XIII at the very least, and possibly could never return to active competition.
While those ramifications alone, make it one of the more heart-wrenching comments made in a WWE ring, there are those that feel the statement rings untrue, as Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart were set to face each other again after their WrestleMania XII encounter, and begin a feud that would run to at least the end of 1997.

Many, including Hart, felt that this was Michaels backing out instead of having to lose to Hart. Shawn’s knee injury wound up being less severe than initially expected and Michaels was back in the ring by the summer of that year, which led many to believe that this was the case.
If this is true, it’s an instance of backstage politics rearing its head on-screen, and this robbed the fans of a better rivalry than the admittedly legendary one that took place.
