But as for Shawn and Hunter, yeah, unless you knew they were friends (which I sure didn't at the time), it seemed out of the blue. If you recall, the week before Shawn and faced Mankind in a one-on-one match. Rick Rude interfered on his behalf (not surprising cause Shawn promised a new "insurance policy" earlier in the show. But HHH and Chyna's interference was more "pro-Shawn" than "anti-Mankind" and that was confusing at the time.
