No friends? Just get a bunch of weirdos in bad costumes to help you lose.

The name is somewhat lacking, but the concept is awesome. Michaels didn’t really have any friends, and he was going up against the juggernaut of the Hart Family. The opposing team consisted of Bret Hart, Owen Hart, Bruce Hart and Keith Hart. Needing a team, Michaels turned to the men in shining armour.
Well, kind of. They were wearing regular wrestling tights, stupid looking tunic-like shirts and plain black masks to cover their faces. The team was easily the least intimidating group of “knights” anybody had ever come into contact with.
Under the masks were legendary jobber Barry Horowitz (Red), former Intercontinental and Tag Team Champion Greg Valentine (Blue) and Jeff Gaylord (Black), who didn’t do a heck of a lot in wrestling. This was his only appearance for the WWE.

About the author
Nicholas A. Marsico
I got my first big break writing for 411Mania back in 2004. I did a small spot in a big weekly piece that was written by one of the site's top writers. I quickly added the duty of being the live recapper for episodes of SmackDown, and in 2005 was given my own weekly column, which I did for a few years. I gave up writing (mostly) to start a family but got back into it, still at 411, a little over 3 years later. For another couple of years, I wrote 2-3 columns per week for the website before finding paid work elsewhere, and eventually wound up at SportsKeeda.
I am also the co-founder of the RBR: Weekly Wrestling Talk podcast, which started in the summer of 2005 and is still going strong today, almost 15 years later. Due to school, work, and family commitments, I left the team in 2011 but still remain a part of the family.
