16 year old me thought this was hilarious

This doesn't get talked about as much because it just enhanced DX disdain for authority they got one over on Slaughter. Not like they did it to end a streak to get the #1 belt back on HBK and end a very popular faction in the process

It was the Euro title not the WWE title at lest

 

[Love Sosa]

2 things stick out to me the most was HHH's run and HBK yelling in the crowd for a fat cac to stfu

Fun Fact.

Shawn Michaels lost both his smile and the European Title at the Buffalo Memorial Auditorium in the same year.

We really going to wring our hands over a throwaway title on a taped RAW at the end of the year?

 

[MenacingMonk]

Pretty wild to see them run that building in late ‘97 for Raw.

Nah I just never knew it happened

European title was the shyt, not sure why they ever abandoned it.

This was hilarious when I watched it live. What a great clip to show the difference in commentary from then and today too.

It was perfect for dx because comissioner sgt slaughter was trying to break them up and they used their dx antics to outsmart him

Funny nwo did it a year later but made absolutely no sense

 

[Jesus H. Christ]

Good to hear the early stages of JR shytting on triple h

 

[Easy-E]

Shawn really was a POS

Yeah this one actually made storyline sense as Slaughter was trying to cause dissension in DX to punish the group. So they flipped it on him. Fingerpoke of Doom made no sense.
