[1996-05-06-WWF-Raw] Shawn Michaels ruined my marriage

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

"Shawn Michaels is a homewrecker. Shawn Michaels ruined my marriage." The chyron then reads "Claims Shawn Michaels ruined life and marriage". It later changes to "Allegedly Had A Torrid Affair with WWF Champion Shawn Michaels".

 

A shadowed woman with terrible hair discusses how Shawn propositioned her while she was married and seduced her into sleeping with him. There may or may not have been a slight implication that she was Elizabeth.

Major FF material. Her acting was bad enough but nothing compared to that haircut.

Yeah, the story is they were going for Elizabeth here, but were so worried about a potential (justified) slander suit that they covered their tracks to the extent that no one could possibly have picked up on it.

[El-P]

Oh man, I NEVER once thought about Liz. I guess the 80's hair was a clue but still, I never ever figured that one out.

I didn't think about Elizabeth either watching the segment. The stuff with Davey Boy and DIana was fine to provide a distraction for Shawn going into a big match but having other accusations feels hokey and strange.

I like that even in this segment, which is supposed to be a put-on by the heels to screw with Shawn (I assume), they still script it to put Shawn over even in this context -- "He was the best I ever had!"

[JKWebb]

I thought of Elizabeth immediately.  This was so dumb.  Meanwhile, on the other show She’s having dinner with Flair “spending Macho’s money.” Anyways - more lame stuff from WWF in 1996.  At least on Nitro we were getting Malenko vs. Liger.

Very 80s woman for sure and I got Liz vibes.  Either way this was silly and poorly thought out.  Especially the parts praising Shawn.  Pick a tone, people.
