Shawn Michaels debuted in WWE in 1988 as a tag-team competitor with his partner Marty Jannetty to form the famous team called The Rockers. HBK would compete in tag-team action until 1992 when he turned his back on Jannetty to pursue his own singles career.
His singles journey took off with great steam when he won his first Intercontinental Championship, which was also his first singles title in November 1992, by beating the late British Bulldog in Saturday Night Main Event XXXI.
The match pinned the brut strength of Davey Boy against Michaels' high-flying moves. The latter prevailed when Bulldog messed up a top rope slam with Shawn falling on him. The botch was enough to seal the deal as Michaels started his first run as the IC Champion, which lasted a whopping 202 days.
