Ryan Kerrigan did Shawn Michaels HBK pose after sacks (Video)

Ryan Kerrigan Shawn Michaels HBK

Ryan Kerrigan had a monster game for the Washington Redskins on Sunday and celebrated a few of his sacks with something very familiar for professional wrestling fans.

Kerrigan racked up four sacks against the Jacksonville Jaguars and did the Shawn Michaels “Heartbreak Kid” HBK pose after the first and fourth sacks.

Here he is doing it after the first sack:

And here he is doing it after his fourth sack:

Kerrigan explained after the game that teammate Will Compton inspired him to do the celebration. He also says Compton is the reason Kerrigan did the pose the fourth time after skipping it on the second and third sacks.

“[Redskins linebacker] Will Compton has been kind of getting in my ear for a while to do the Shawn Michaels from wrestling — the HBK,” Kerrigan said after the game. “All he kept saying was, ‘Hit the HBK, hit the HBK.’ Finally, I did right by him and hit the HBK a couple times. On the second and third ones, when I didn’t do it, he was giving me a bunch of hell on the sidelines, like, ‘Why didn’t you do it? You need to trademark it.’ I’m like, ‘Well, I can’t trademark it, it’s HBK.’ But that’s where it came from. You guys can thank Will Compton for the motivation for that one.”

How sweet is this photoshop job?
