Another stunning piece of hype about this match. We get Shawn's WWF career plight and it does a great job of showing Shawn's attitude even in moments where he was a face. We get some clips of Shawn on talk shows and tons of dancing. We see his DX antics and then it ends in putting over how dangerous SCM is. What a great video package and something that doesn't get talked about nearly enough.

Yep, WCW couldn't have put anything like this together in a million years. Even if they had the creative chops, they didn't have the technical expertise to execute the vision. The WWF takes advantage of an unopposed night to put together a LOOONG video package detailing almost all of Michaels' singles career and getting him over as a guy who won't stay down even if you shoot him point-blank.

Wow, this was classic - one of the best wrestling video packages I think I've ever seen. This is an awesome way to present Shawn not just as the top heel, but as a sort of complex, multi-dimensional guy who always brings it to the big stage.

 

Sums things up perfectly. I still get goose bumps watching this video - it absolutely definitively sums up Shawn in a 5 minute package, really getting to the bottom of the characters motivation and personality. The HBK of the build to Wrestlemania XIV is so strong, with a lot of the more juvenile DX antics getting dropped for a serious, egotistical but also desparate champion, that in every sense can see a new era coming and that is clinging onto his spot with everything in his power. Brilliant stuff.
