Diesel & Shawn Michaels Aug. 28, 1994 - Nov. 23, 1994

Shawn Michaels and his bodyguard Diesel formed an almost unstoppable tag team. Diesel was already the Intercontinental Champion, but he teamed up with HBK and they took out the Headshrinkers at an untelevised live event for the World Tag Team Championship. The only thing that could stop Diesel and The Showstopper was themselves, and that's exactly what happened. The duo couldn't co-exist after Michaels inadvertently nailed Diesel during a match at the 1994 Survivor Series. Since they couldn't co-exist, they were forced to forfeit the titles on Nov. 23.

Diesel & Shawn Michaels Sept. 24, 1995 - Sept. 25, 1995

Diesel, the WWE Champion, and Shawn Michaels, the Intercontinental Champion, were scheduled to face the World Tag Team Champions, Owen Hart & Yokozuna at In Your House 3. The match stipulated that if Diesel or Shawn Michaels were pinned, the Superstar that pinned him would win their Championship. If Michaels or Diesel score a pin, they would become the new World Tag Team Champions. Jim Cornette, who managed Yokozuna and Hart, tried to reschedule the match because Hart had not shown up at the building. But the match took place and The British Bulldog took Hart's place. As the match went on, Hart stormed the ring and flew in off the top rope. Diesel caught him in mid-air and gave him the Jackknife Powerbomb for the win. The title reign lasted lasted less than 24 hours for Diesel and Michaels, though, as Hart and Yokozuna's lawyer, Clarence Mason, found a loophole to give them the titles back.
