Sweet Golden Tunes at Survivor Series

Some sports figures thrive on grand stages. Reggie Jackson became known as "Mr. October" for his heroics in the World Series, and the New York Yankees' Mariano Rivera cemented his reputation as one of the game's all-time best closers with his performances in the October Classic.

That's how Survivor Series is for Shawn Michaels. Survivor Series has been kind to HBK, who has won two out of his four world championships at the annual tradition. But with Sweet Chin Music banned in his showdown with Randy Orton this year, how will he be able to win the WWE Championship?

Sweet Chin Music has been golden for The Showstopper. He has won three out of his four world championships with it. The only time HBK didn’t win the WWE Championship with Sweet Chin Music was against Bret “Hit Man” Hart at Survivor Series during the infamous “Montreal Screwjob” 10 years ago.

Here is a look at Michaels' championship success with - and without - his most lethal weapon at Survivor Series and beyond:

 

10 - HBK wins at WM12

Shawn Michaels wins the WWE Championship from Bret Hart at WrestleMania XII in a WWE Ironman Match.

20 - HBK defeats Sid at Rumble

Sycho Sid gets a taste of Sweet Chin Music and HBK gets a taste of WWE Championship gold at the Royal Rumble in 1997.

40 - HBK wins the Elimination Chamber

HBK wins the first ever Elimination Chamber Match at the 2002 Survivor Series to become the World Heavyweight Champion.
