SHAWN MICHEALS





 Michael Shawn  Hickenbottom (born July 22, 1965),
 known as Shawn Michaels, is an American former
 professional wrestler, signed to WWE where he consistently
 performed for WWE, formerly the World Wrestling Federation
 (WWF), from 1988 until his retirement in early 2010.
Shawn michaels during his time with AWA,
he performed in partnership with Marty Jannetty,
as The Midnight Rockers; winning the
AWA World Tag Team Championship twice.
Hickenbottom and Jannetty briefly signed with
World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in 1987,
while in contract with AWA.
They returned to AWA, only to go back to the
WWF in 1988.
Shawn later worked as a single performer,
taking on a new persona of "The Heartbreak Kid" HBK and,
first as a villain and later as a fan favorit. The following year,
he teamed up with Hunter Hearst Hemsley, who often was
referred to as Triple H (HHH), Chyna, and Rick Rude to
form D-Generation X (DX). This group of wrestlers was known for their sophomoric crude humor. That same year, Shawn took part in one of the most controversial matches in wrestling history, dubbed as the "Montreal Screwjob." After a back injury forced him to retire following his WWF Championship loss at WrestleMania XIV, Shawn opened a wrestling academy, called The Shawn Michaels Wrestling Academy, in which he trained upcoming wrestlers. He made his in-ring return at SummerSlam in 2002. In 2006, Shawn and Triple H briefly reformed DX, but after an injury that Triple H sustained, Shawn returned to singles wrestling. Although as of 2009, the duo reunited as a tag team once more, with the two capturing the Unified WWE Tag Team Championship. At WrestleMania XXVI, Michaels was forced to retire from in-ring competition when he lost a career-threatening match. In December 2010, he signed a long-term deal with WWE, making his first live appearance at a WWE show since WrestleMania later that month. He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2011.
Michaels returned to WWE programming in a series of
segments that aired on the August 10, 2009 episode of Raw,
where he had scripted left the WWE. Triple H met with Michaels
at an office cafeteria in Texas where he was working as a chef;
 throughout the segments, Triple H would try to convince
Michaels to return to WWE and reform DX. After several incident
s during the segments, Michaels agreed to team with Triple H to face
 The Legacy (Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase) at SummerSlam.
 At the pay-per-view event, DX defeated Legacy.  
The two teams would exchange victories, with their feud concluding in October. Two months later, at TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs, DX defeated Chris Jericho and The Big Show to win the Unified WWE Tag Team Championship in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match (TLC). On the January 4, 2010 episode of Raw, Michaels buried the hatchet with long-time rival Bret Hart, as they shook hands and hugged in the ring. In contrast to the storylines featured on the show, this was in fact a real-life reconciliation which laid to rest animosities surrounding the Montreal Screwjob. While some cast doubts on its sincerity, both men have confirmed that it was indeed genuine. DX lost the Unified Tag Team Championship in a Triple Threat match to the team of The Miz and Big Show on the February 8 episode of Raw. Shawn wanted to end the streak of Undertaker which he tried before at Wrestlemania XXV in which he did’nt make it .Next year at the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view, Michaels cost The Undertaker the World Heavyweight Championship in the main event just to have another match at WrestleMania XXVI. At WrestleMania XXVI, Michaels lost to the Undertaker and, as a result, was forced to retire due to the match stipulation. The following night, on the March 29 episode of Raw, Michaels gave an emotional farewell speech, departing with the familiar sentence, "Shawn Michaels has left the building”
Among other accolades, Shawn is a four-time world champion a three-time WWF Champion and a former World Heavyweight Champion. He was also the winner of the 1995 and 1996 Royal Rumbles and was the company's first Grand Slam Champion. He has also won the Slammy Award a record 11 times. Shawn currently resides in San Antonio, Texas with his wife, Rebecca, and their two children.
 
He’s the HBK “heart break kid”

known as Mr. Hall of Fame.
