You can't be serious....
Shawn was in the biggest fued of the company (Taker), was getting a World title shot in 6 weeks at a major PPV and was a leader in a major stable.
Bulldog was a midcarder, tagging with Owen vs other midcard tag teams and was viewed as the third guy in his stable.
I am dead serious.
It was in England, it was going to hurt Shawn one bit if he lost to Davey Boy.
It was very nice of HBK to go over in front of Davey Boy's dying sister while making lews remarks to Davey's wife. What a great guy.
HBK had bulletproof heat at that point- the fans hated him regardless and would still pay to see him get his ass kicked.
