[1997-09-08-WWF-Raw] Shawn Michaels, Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Davey Boy Smith

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Shawn and Hunter attack Davey Boy on his way to the ring to set up One Night Only. The crowd cheers them like crazy and I'm sure this confused them, as you have two new top heels attacking one of the previous top heels. This is another example of Bret being pushed out of the picture as soon as Shawn came back.

[Kevin Ridge]

Hate this. Your top heels should not be attacking each other like this. It only minimizes one of them like it does Bulldog getting laid out with no help coming from the Harts.

I agree that it seemed odd for DX (Still not named that) to be attacking Davey and the HF in general. They give a good beatdown though.

Michaels and Helmsley, who isn't even Triple H yet, destroy the Bulldog as he's making a ring entrance and destroy his knee with the metal entrance ramp and a chair. Who the hell is this guy doing commentary?

[Exposer]

Shawn & Hunter attack Davey Boy on the aisle during his entrance to set up One Night Only. Why the hell didn't Owen & Bret make the save? Shawn & HHH get a few things thrown at them, but they are getting cheered here. I'm not a fan of the HF demotion either. DX was a hot act, but I think they're generally a step down from the hot angles & segments during the spring & summer involving the HF. Good beatdown though.
