#3 Shawn Michaels at WWE SummerSlam

In the last 18 years, Shawn Michaels has done quite a lot for the future generation of WWE Superstars.

While Michaels was an active in-ring performer during the Ruthless Aggression era, he made sure to put over the likes of Randy Orton, Edge, John Cena, and others. Since retiring, he has still been contributing to WWE by being strongly involved with NXT and NXT UK.

However, Shawn Michaels wasn't always like this. In fact, back in the 90s, he had a reputation for being a bully. Most of his alleged bullying incidents occurred backstage, but one made it to live TV.

At SummerSlam 1996, Michaels squared off against Vader. During the match, Vader was supposed to move away before Michaels dropped an elbow drop on him. However, he stayed glued to his position, earning himself the wrath of the Heartbreak Kid on the spot.

Michaels started stomping on Vader's face while yelling, "move." After some shenanigans, the two-time Royal Rumble winner emerged victorious. As for Vader, he became the victim of backstage politics and saw his momentum come to a screeching halt in WWE.
