2. Shawn Michaels and GOD vs. The McMahons

Many stories have been told about the trials and tribulations of the Hearbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels. He often defines it as a point when he is personally spiraling out of control. Michaels has often admitted that he needed to change his ways, or face the consequences of his actions. Fans will never argue the quality of his matches, the delivery of his promos or how his character has evolved. However, he believed he needed to see the light and, eventually, he did, leading Michaels to come clean and find God.

He became a born-again Christian and quite openly shared that on screen. His new choices became a storyline against Vince and Shane McMahon. While the quality of the feud will remain in question, the lack of respect shown towards the beliefs was quite apparent, regardless of your religious background. Their feud came to a head as Vince challenged Shawn to a tag team match against him and God. The promos leading up to it also included Vince drinking the holy water among other things.
