HBK was forced to retire after WrestleMania XIV, and while he did appear sporadically on WWE/F TV, Michaels never wrestled during his 4-year in-ring break. His contributions weren't as significant as it could have been, considering the money he was getting paid.
Here's what Jim Ross revealed:
"I don't know if it was pressure from Vince or not. Vince loved him. It's proven. We paid Shawn $750,000 a year for about four years to do nothing because he was Vince's guy. Every time we go over budgets and things, where are we at with the Shawn contract? Nothing, leave it alone. Ok"
