What is shawn micheals 1997?

In 1997, Shawn Michaels was one of the top wrestlers in the WWE. He was the leader of the group D-Generation X and was involved in storylines with fellow wrestlers such as Bret Hart, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and The Undertaker.

One of the most notable moments for Michaels in 1997 was his match against Bret Hart at the Survivor Series pay-per-view. During the match, Michaels applied the Sharpshooter submission hold on Hart, which is Hart's signature move. However, Hart did not tap out, yet the referee rang the bell, awarding the match to Michaels. This moment led to the infamous Montreal Screwjob and is still a controversial topic in wrestling history.

Michaels also won the WWE Championship twice in 1997, defeating Bret Hart in a rematch and then defeating The Undertaker. He held the title for a total of 165 days that year.

Despite his success in the ring, Michaels was also dealing with personal struggles during this time. He had admitted to abusing drugs and alcohol and was reportedly difficult to work with backstage. However, Michaels sought help and turned his life around in the following years.
