Anyone remember years ago when he had to surrender the IC title...forget what the WWE story was but reality was he got his ass kicked in a Buffalo or Albany Bar and could not compete.....
That was following the Syracuse incident, in which a couple of Marines roughed him up after "Boy Toy" made some inappropriate remarks to one of the men's girlfriends.
On-air, Shawn just walked out, told everyone that he "lost his smile," surrendered the belt to Shane Douglas, and they played a music video for him.
Prick.
Then there was the time Shawn was stripped of the belt for violating the "failure to defend the title within 30-days" clause.
It's been said that, in reality, Shawn's brief absence was because he failed his drug test and was serving a suspension.
Ironically, it set up the infamous ladder match between HBK & Hall for WMX, which elevated both their careers.
