Shawn Michaels

Introduction

photo by Sean Refer

Michael Shawn Hickenbottom, better known to wrestling fans the world over as "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels, is arguably one of the best professional wrestlers of all time. Long-time wrestling fans may remember him as one half of "The Rockers" or even his time in AWA. Michaels has just about done it all in the wrestling business, from being a member of the popular stable "D-Generation X" to winning the World Title in the first ever "Elimination Chamber" match shortly after returning from a broken back that kept him out of the ring for years. For the time being it looks like "The Heartbreak Kid" has finally retired, but as is always the case in wrestling there is every chance he will be on our screens again soon.
