Prichard gave his account of what happened including when he found out about about it. Speaking about the incident, Prichard mentioned that there were different stories but the what really happened is not known because Sean Waltman and Davey Boy Smith (who were with Shawn Michaels) weren’t in a state to recall the events of the night:
A quick look at what went down in Syracuse with Shawn Michaels
Shawn Michaels was pretty wild when he was younger. Along with the added pressure of having to carry the WWE on his shoulders in the mid 90s, he had his own personal demons. He was also known to sometimes rub people the wrong way.
Things came to a head one night in 1995. Michaels was with Sean Waltman and Davey Boy Smith at a club in Syracuse. One thing led to another and the wrestlers got into an altercation with a group of men in the parking lot. Shawn Michaels was barely conscious when the assault started and ended up with a torn eyelid and two black eyes along with other injuries.
In the wake of the Syracuse incident, Shawn Michaels was forced to relinquish the Intercontinental Championship as he recovered.
