#2 Vince McMahon emotional over Shawn Michaels' Hall of Fame induction

One can't discount the fact that Shawn Michaels is possibly the greatest wrestler in the history of WWE. Vince McMahon's WWE recognized Michaels as the same around a decade ago, by putting him on top in its list of the 50 greatest WWE Superstars in history. At WrestleMania 26, Shawn Michaels battled The Undertaker for the second consecutive occasion at The Show of Shows. The match ended with The Phenom emerging victorious, and Michaels bidding farewell to the fans as per the stipulation.

A year later, Michaels was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. WWE posted a clip on its official Youtube channel soon after, featuring Michaels sharing a heartfelt moment with WWE Chairman Vince McMahon, while showing off his Hall of Fame ring. The two veterans embraced each other at the end of the video, and it was clear that Vince wasn't being able to control his tears. Michaels had wowed the WWE Universe for years on end, and Vince hadn't forgotten that one bit.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
