Jake Roberts said in an interview with FlipDaScript that Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart were the “worst” champions of all. Here is what he had to say:
“Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, those chumps needed titles. Please. HBK, give me a break, brother. Give me a break, man. Him with his gruff voice, ain’t nobody ever thought he was tough. Jesus Christ man. Nobody paid attention to him. He was a tag team, hell nobody even looked at him. Sure, they were pretty, go out there and make the girls go, ‘Ohhh.’ That’s about it. That was about it. His in-ring, he worked his ass off, I’ll give him that, he performs his ass off, but was he ever a good champion? Hell no. Did he put asses in seats? Not that many. Check the books, man, check the books. Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels were the worst champions of all. They did not put money in the bank.”
