Shawn Michaels

Shawn Michaels is one of the greatest wrestlers to have ever set foot in a wrestling ring. He wrestles in the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment). He's been wrestling with the WWE since 1988.

Shawn Michales real name is Michael Shawn Hickenbottom and he was born on July 22, 1965. At the age of of forty-three he is still wrestling better than most guys half his age. Every wrestler has a finishing move, Shawn's is the super kick. When his opponent gets up from being on the ground, Shawn waits in the corner and he lifts his leg and drops it to make a loud thud. He does this to get the crowd going. He waits till his opponent faces him and he raises his foot and nails his opponent in the face. It's one of my favorite finishers because it looks like it will hurt.

One of the funniest and most memorable moments with HBK (oh thats what he calls himself, HBK stands for Heart Break Kid) was a couple years ago when HBK and Triple H were doing DX. Whenever these guys are together its chaos for everyone and its extremely funny. One night they were talking about how Vince McMan said that they didn't know controversy. HBK goes into a frenzy and says I know controversy and he super kicks three people walking down the hall. It might not be funny when I tell it but if you watch it, you'll laugh. Here's a link for it.

The one thing I didn't like about him is what I read in his book, Heartbreak & Triumph, the Shawn Michaels Story. I learned that HBK always came up with great matches to where he would lose. If someone needed to make look good, it was a win over HBK. Looking back on everything I realized that he's been in so many great matches but he never wins. HBK is very capable of winning but he chooses to lose ahead of time (cause the show is fake and there is a story line) to make his opponent look good. Like at last Wrestle Mania, I knew HBK was going to lose to the Undertaker even though he owned him the weeks before.
