The Hart Dynasty Gets Over on RAW, False Shawn Michaels Rumors Break

Twitter and Google Trends both reveal immense interest in WWE personalities following the culmination of this week’s RAW.

Most notable is a surge of interest in The Hart Dynasty, which currently sits as the fourth most popular search on Google. The Hart Dynasty received a rub Monday when it came to the aid of Bret Hart, who was being accosted by The Miz and Big Show. The Dynasty beat Miz and Show via countout.

As the group has had limited exposure on RAW–WWE’s primary show for buzz generation–this far and away represented its most high-profile appearance to date.

In a similar vein, the phrase “owen hart death video” is currently number nine on Google. Bret Hart wore a shirt bearing Owen’s photo on RAW tonight.

— Elsewhere, due to heavy Twitter interest (Shawn Michaels and HBK are both top ten trending topics), the expected and obviously erroneous “death rumor” has broken. The phrase “Shawn Michaels died” is ranked twentieth.
