** Michaels seems to be particularly prone to these. He had already experienced one at the 2008 ''Wrestling/UnforgivenWrestling'' pay-per-view, where he challenged Wrestling/ChrisJericho to an Unsanctioned Match after Jericho punched his wife in the face. He whipped his enemy with a belt, injuring him so grievously that Jericho went into shock. The bell was rung, and an announcer declared Michaels the winner of the fight. By this point, however, Michaels was so consumed with rage that [[NightmareFuel his face had gone completely blank]] and he was continuing to mindlessly whale away on the unconscious Jericho as if he didn't understand what he was doing. He finally snapped out of his stupor after a referee tried to stop him and he kicked the official in the face; he then had a MyGodWhatHaveIDone moment and finally agreed to leave the ring.

** In one episode of ''Wrestling/WWERaw'' leading up to ''Wrestling/UnforgivenWrestling'' in September 2008, Michaels asserted that some people are so wicked that they cannot possibly be forgiven, nor ever even want to be. And you can't just ignore them, because then they'll just keep going out to hurt countless more people; sometimes you ''must'' seek swift justice, severely punishing or even destroying a menacing human being. This was in response to his opponent brutally beating a man after he was unconscious and then punching the man's wife, which disgusted Michaels.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Really closer to "My God, what did I ''almost'' do?", but at ''[=WrestleMania=] XXVII'', Michaels was the special guest referee for the match between Triple H and The Undertaker, with the latter's undefeated streak at [=WrestleMania=] on the line.\\\
At one point, Undertaker, having warned Shawn not to stop the match under any circumstances unless Undertaker was decisively beaten, grabbed HBK in the Hell's Gate submission hold to prevent him from doing exactly that. Michaels would later superkick Undertaker in retaliation, leading to a follow-up Pedigree from Triple H, a combination which Undertaker amazingly survived after a two-count.\\\
At that moment, having defied his duty as a referee to be impartial, and also coming within an inch of tainting the greatest streak in pro wrestling with biased officiating, Shawn had a minor breakdown and was reduced to shuddering in the corner in shame.

Was here for TRS cleanup, but not sure how to make the remaining part a valid example as I'm not following the sport.

** Which makes ''[=WrestleMania=] XX'' yet again a FunnyAneurysmMoment: the main event was a triple-threat between Shawn, Wrestling/TripleH, and Wrestling/ChrisBenoit, and it's widely regarded as one of the best main-events in the history of the PPV.
