I've heard from people about Shawn Michael's "I've lost my smile" speech. However, I was not watching wrestling at the time, so I have little idea what this fiasco was all about to this day. Can someone fill me in, please?

Thursday night Raw. Feb. 1997
HBK comes out, starts crying. Says he's "lost his smile" due to injuries and whatnot and forfeits the belt.
In actuality, it is believed that HBK was ducking his rematch with Bret Hart at WM 13 where HBK would drop the belt.
Thats the basic gist. HBK cut a promo with tons of fake emotion saying he needed time off when he just didn't want to job. The cheesy line just makes it a great punchline.

What about when he "fainted" during a match with Owen Hart? Who was he ducking then?

Plus I think shortly after that, he foreited the Intercontinental Title to Dean Douglas, only to lose it to Razor Ramon 7 minutes later. |

It was a result of that concussion that was supposed to be why Owen knocked him out. It was to further set up his face run. |

It's interesting that HBK remarked that WM13 was the "WrestleMania that Vince didn't know what to do with".
I'm sure Vince would have had a clearer idea if he knew his champion was to throw a tantrum.

They also had the HBK/Hart concussion angle go down to take viewers away from Sting/Hogan on Nitro that night.

At least HBK leaving let Bret and Austin put on a classic. |

How can you not like to hate and hate to like a man who was able to say such a cheesy lie on live television keeping his face straight??

Maybe it's the full weight of what he did to poor Marty Jannety finally bearing down on his psyche.
