Shawn Michaels with the WWE Championship

Pre-Attitude Era, WWE was not the best wrestling company in the world as they are today. WCW was regularly defeating them in the ratings, and they could not seem to put up a fight. Although they had Shawn Michaels as their Champion, the crowd was more attracted by WCW and their antics and NWO.
