Shawn Michaels was known to be quite a handful in the past. In a recent episode of WWE Legends, Triple H recounted an infamous story about how he was assaulted by a group of Marines once.
During the latest episode of A&E’s Biography: WWE Legends – Shawn Michaels, the legend and Triple H recount a story of how he was assaulted by a group of Marines outside of a bar in Syracuse, New York, in 1995. According to Triple H, things started when Michaels and two other stars got a bit rowdy in a bar.
“Shawn Michaels, British Bulldog, 1-2-3 Kid walk into a bar. Me, Scott [Hall], Kev[in Nash] were in Europe. It was where we find out that all this happened. Bunch of Marines in a tough bar,” said Triple H. “Every eye in that place turns to the three wrestlers that just walked in the door, of which Shawn is the megastar.
“Every girl in that place starts to look at Shawn. Shawn is very enamored with that, and Shawn is at this point in his life like, ‘F-ck the are you looking at? Is there a problem, Jarhead?’ They go to walk out, six Marines walk out, beat the f-ck out of Shawn and leave him in the side of the car.”
Michaels was also interviewed for the episode, and corroborated the incident.
“And the last thing I can remember is, you know, there being the coat check, the next thing is waking up in the hospital, and everything else is a complete blank,” said Michaels of the incident.
Triple H would add that incidents like that were common for Michaels at the time, saying that it was “four days” out of the seven-day week for Michaels. The full episode of the latest Biography: WWE Legends is now available on A&E and Tubi.
