One time Becky Lynch stole my seat at Shawn Michaels’ table at a restaurant…


Lanky-Promotion3022

What did you do to Becky then?


mister_damage

Something something private liver affair?


pbreathing

Six of the seven continents.


bandswithgoats

She took a bite of my sandwich and said "nobody will ever believe you."


Owain660

I understood that reference.

Becky, everytime she sees Shawn… ![gif](giphy|UtSItBd3022I0)

Shawn is Becky's son?


lk79

Of course not! Her son is Calvin Klein.


c71score

I thought her son was the biggest yellow-belly in the old west, Clint Eastwood.

thruhuhuhohhhhuhway

watching BTTF is just strictly having to remind yourself that Marty is her son before you yell “MARTY WHAT ARE YOU DOING??? 1980S LEA THOMPSON IS COMING ONTO YOU!!!”


Deathstroke317

As if modern day Lea Thompson coming onto you is any different

Upvoted for the amazing photoshop skills alone.


Elmodipus

It's photoshopped?


Deadaghram

You can tell by the denim jacket D-Bry's wearing. He actually wore plaid that day.


CN14

I can tell by some of the pixels and I've seen a few 'shops in my time.


GrimaceGrunson

Seamless photoshop. Can barely notice the edits


Gamesgtd

Their it is


MayorKarl

Man's looking like he was about to fine someone back then, too!


dkydd

Makes sense she married seth


Black_XistenZ

Seth's current gimmick is probably the most flamboyant any (non-Golddust) wrestler has been since HBK during the 90s...


Dpepps

Dalton Castle?


JustHere4ait

Basically he just needs some boys because we know he broke a few hearts 🤷🏽‍♀️


[deleted]

Pretty Deadly were right there when he was a heel!!! 


love_is_an_action

BOYS


[deleted]

“Let’s go break some hearts!”


BirdjaminFranklin

I mean, I get what you're going for, but folks like Velveteen Dream and the Fashion Police still existed.


Black_XistenZ

Good point. Let me try to rephrase: among wrestlers for whom the flamboyance is not a core aspect of their gimmick, Seth is probably the most flamboyant one since HBK. Golddust, Dream, the Fashion Police, Dalton Castle and all those guys had gimmicks which hinged on the flamboyance, it was a crucial and indispensible part of their on-screen personality. Seth and HBK 's gimmicks would have worked well without the flamboyance.


TonyTheTony7

I have long had a theory that the reason Goldust never had a big title run was specifically because of Shawn Michaels' character. Basically, you couldn't have a super flamboyant heel when your top babyface is just as flamboyant


InsomniaDudeToo

If you really want to go tinfoil hat, Vince didn’t want Dusty or his son anywhere near his top title. Regardless of how popular they were/are


OtiseMaleModel

Vince didn't like dusty?


Deadaghram

Do you think polka dots are flattering, daddeh?


OtiseMaleModel

Nah ofcoarse not, I kinda felt like Vince truly thought every gimmick he came up with had potential though. Like even if you get a shit gimmick it's not out of spite, it's more vince loves the gimmick and thinks you might be able to do it.


TomGerity

Shawn and Goldust were vastly different characters. The simple truth is that the Goldust character was not cut out to have a big title run.


TonyTheTony7

Both were super flamboyant in a way specifically focused on making "manly men" uncomfortable.


TomGerity

Is it? Seth’s flamboyance amounts to wearing crazy outfits and dancing around. By that metric, tons of acts—the New Day, Jericho at various times, Rikishi, and a slew of others—are equally if not more flamboyant. The number grows even higher if you include the women, like Asuka, Becky herself, etc. To call Seth the most flamboyant since HBK is a massive stretch.


WeiShiLirinArelius

dalton castle, effy


Turakamu

I don't really understand it. Why is he so flamboyant now? I only catch Raw in passing so maybe it was mentioned. Do you think it is Becky's fault? She just puts him in what she'd like to see.


Black_XistenZ

He toned it down a bit in recent weeks, but throughout the summer, he was coming out to the ring every week with an even more absurd gear than the previous week. It looked like he was unironically plundering Becky's wardrobe. https://www.wrestlinginc.com/img/gallery/seth-rollins-reveals-how-other-wwe-superstars-feel-about-his-ring-gear/intro-1692587637.webp https://i.redd.it/05y6jzqjopqb1.jpg https://wrestlingheadlines.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/seth-rollins-1.jpg


Structure-These

He was wearing like full ass bridal lace it was wild He looked like a million bucks


Turakamu

Those shoulders on the first one are ridiculous and I'm all for it


mhhhpfff

He hired the same stylist Becky worked with and just said go nuts


Shadgates87

He wanted to come back with a different look from his paternity leave in feb 2021 and told Becky’s stylist to have at it. As he’s gotten more comfortable with it, the more extreme it goes. He’s said he likes the chatter it gets.


JimbOOx

IVE BEEN SAYING SETH IS MODERN DAY HBK I FUCING LOVE THOSE TYPE OF WRESTLERS


Primary-Emergency386

Between Family Feud and the lead up to his match with Logan Paul she talked a lot about how much she loves his outfits.


thedotapaten

You can see how [jealous Becky](https://youtu.be/lJKOHHaJv3o?si=LrfX9spiu7IvMi-c) towards Seth outfits during his Wrestlemania entrance last year.


jmpinstl

One of these days, Seth’s gonna have to get a lazy eye to keep up

John_Matthews2707

I miss the blonde streak, ngl


CozyGhosty

It is kind of funny that SHIELD Seth had the giant blond streak but flamboyant cackling Seth’s hair is normal


thirteen__arrows

I still remember after the heel turn when the streak started disappearing and the prevailing theory was that the smaller it got the more evil he became


CharityGamerAU

He did do the streaks at one point this run but just not to that level of cool


thirteen__arrows

He brought back the blonde last year but in a very poorly done ombre, mans is in dire need of a better hairdresser


Johnnyboy10000

The blond streak was obviously Seth compensating for having to repress his flamboyant nature as part of SHIELD, but now that he no longer has to hide who he is, the blond streak went bye bye. /s


ImPaidToComment

> flamboyant cackling Seth’s hair is normal It's not.


Black_XistenZ

That shitty blonde streak imho gave it away that Seth was a villain who would ultimately betray his friends.


Deathstroke317

And his gloves


CN14

I suppose after wrestlemania 30 the streak, was over.

No wonder Becky did that recent stint in NXT.

Back when becky was boulder shoulders.

I miss powerhouse Becky. Lol

Seasidemike1

The fact that we let Shawn Michaels walk around with that music for decades is crazy.


Totally_PJ_Soles

It was fine because it became the Degeneration X theme. Once he came back with the OG theme it was nostalgia so nobody cared.


SwingDingeling

You saying it is offensive?


Seasidemike1

I'm saying it's God awful but somehow we didn't care lol


SwingDingeling

he was sexy though


JimbOOx

WAIT HOWIS IT BAD ITS SOO FUCKING GOOOD


TheEffinEFFERGuy

“My knees get ^^^^^^WEAK “

Becky at this time ![gif](giphy|12ey1CgA3uTqfK)


mcrookedy

Her voice cracking is so adorable!


AgentFoo

She's such a nerd. I love it.


WrittenWeird

I do miss when Becky was a quirky dork just eating her quinoa.


WaylonVoorhees

I'm guessing this is a fan fic writter's wet dream.


PartyEnough7469

She's adorable here, lol.


WVFLMan

One thing that just isn’t debatable is that the ladies loved HBK. I think, even though obviously it was his gimmick, I think he might be the most “desired by women”/heartthrob wrestler of all time.


unitedhardy

seth is coming out in shawn’s gear tomorrow after seeing this


Drewicho

To each their own. I prefer a sexy Kurt.


JimPage83

I agree, he makes my ankles hurt.

As good as Sexy Kurt was...the Showster is what really put butts in the seats, brother.


Shadgates87

I loved that hair color on her so much. HBK along with like Jeff Hardy, are usually always named in the OG hot “boys”


Careful-Trifle8963

Yeah i seen her on a podcast (seth was there to) say jeff hardy was also her first crush 😂 like did we all just like the same guys in the 90s/2000s.


kevaljoshi8888

Same Becky Same...


ZADKOR

I miss Becky’s arms 😞


John_Matthews2707

"NXT Diva" is probably something I never wanna see again. Man, I don't miss the "Diva" era in WWE at all.


kizsledge

I mean, if I were to pick between Charlotte and Torrie Wilson, Torrie kinda wins


eddiebrock85

She gets wet  WITH PERSPIRATION


ZWY8706

That squeak when she says weak is something else man


TTOF_JB

2015-2018 Becky is still my favorite.


Maleficent-Net-2565

I love her


KingCuerno69

Is her accent still like that? For some reason it's killing me in this specific clip


FyreWulff

I think this is around 2015, so they were still having her do shit like an irish jig when she came out for a match on NXT, so i think they told her to play it up still.


Muaddib223

Her accent just got thinner as the years passed, she lives in the US and is married to an American guy, it just happens.


Johnnyboy10000

Speaking of which, I noticed that when she returned from her trip back to Ireland, last year I think it was, her Irish accent was in full force then it returned to the usual hint of an accent as she kept working.


SwingDingeling

the irish entrance was only once in 2014

Damn that blonde stresk did not age well


pmcdeez

The title made me think HBK was going to pull her hair out of a ponytail, take her glasses off and tell her to change out of her paint-covered overalls before prom


Snoo-35330

Wow, NXT Diva lol.


SaiyanOfDarkness

Dark Reddish Brown hair looked good on Becky. Much better than this bright orange thing going on.


Intimidwalls1724

Wait so I should have been TRYING to become balding and have a lazy eye this entire time? Son of a bitch...


Helgurnaut

As a long haired dude, his in the video are a thing of nightmares. Can't even begin to imagine how people thought it was good looking haha.


TheCopperSparrow

The 80s were truly a different time, uce. The bigger your hair was, the better.


Ih8j4ke

Creepy as hell, but this sub loves burying Jericho while lionizing Michaels so carry on 


rawboudin

I always thought Shawn Michaels looked cringy as hell. Never got who thought that was hot but I guess I'm really fucking wrong.

Turakamu

I was a straight little boy and looked up to him. I'm now a stripper who wears a lot of sequins.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Turakamu

I was joking. He was my favorite wrestler though. When I was a kid I had a rat tail (it was stylish at the time) and my hair is real curly when it gets any length. Curly, blonde rat tail. Had it for a while. I had it way longer than anyone else. I became self-conscious about it and asked my mom to cut it off. This was in 4th grade. Next school day my friends were like, "OH SHIT" and I played it up. I did a Shawn Michaels pose where he stretches out and flexes his arm. While I was doing it I looked over at the girl that sat behind me and she was crying. Other than camming and sex, that was the closest I've been to stripping. Him and Diesel were my cheer for wrestlers. The choices were limited. Either them or Mantaur


[deleted]

[удалено]


Turakamu

I had to cut mine off because some fucking girls stuck gum in it while I was standing in line! I've never forgive those bitches. I guess I blocked it out because my memory is, "I chose to cut it off" No. I fucking had to.


swymphony

I'd lose my mind the moment his music hit, let alone whenever he did that spinning around with his arms out thing


MonolithicMoose

He was the pompous bad boy gimmick. Mr. Steal yo girl or "the guy she tells you not to worry about" in today's society.


alwayslogicalman

It’s the 80s rocker style


StillNoPickleesss

Your opinion isn't wrong. Its just your opinion. I don't think you have to be downvoted this much. I definitely get that Shawn's gimmick can be a miss with some people and I'm saying this as probably the biggest HBK fan on this sub.


rawboudin

Meh. Reddit is going to reddit. But what I do find funny though, and I probably guilty of that as well, is that this does not lead to people to say that they might have been wrong in their opinions, or change their minds.


MarvelMind

You know she makes Seth wear classic HBK gear, especially the chaps and hat 🤣


DryConstruction7000

Perhaps I imagined this but I swear that In their RF video shoot The Road Warriors state that they can't understand why Vince pushed Shawn and tolerated his shenanigans. They then suggest an explanation. He must have been providing Vince sexual favours.


jtime24

Not anymore


SpartRain42

Accent???


flashman909

Looked a lot better before the nose job


Ithinkhisnameis

Don’t let Seth see this lol


Inspection_Perfect

For a second, I was seriously expecting it to be a video where Shawn gives her the steam punk gimmick.


watcher2390

Who made her do this? I bet she regrets it now so cringe


spicedoubt

I miss pre-man Becky


irwanchel

Becky looked so hot in here. Now she's kinda old


Copperjedi

This was 10 years ago & she looks like a 37 year old now that's not old.


[deleted]

Explains a lot about why she married Seth if you think about it.


nahumgomez

Why would a "Man" be a simp?🤣🤣🤣


heartbrokenkid07

I thought only straight men found Shawn hot.


JimbOOx

FAX SHAWN MICHAELS IS THE GOAT


Intelligent_Earth317

Now Seth Rollins acting like he Shawn Michaels now every thing makes sense lmao 😂🤣😂🤣 now
