WWE’s “Heartbreak Kid” Wrestled for His Life

Former professional wrestler Shawn Michaels’ career as “The Heartbreak Kid” was rising fast in the WWE as he became addicted to fame and money. However, an injury and a divine encounter led to a radical life change. go.700clb.co/1ahb

[@DanInBranson]

What I find refreshing is that Shawn takes full responsibility for what he did, for his choices, and his drug issues. He doesn't blame anyone else or anything else. Nothing but respect for him. Glad I got to enjoy his entire WWF/E career from beginning to end.

[@stinggodswrestler1143]

its bret hart he hurt the most

[@christopherellisor2550]

As a wrestler, Shawn is one of my favorites, but as a man of God, he's my brother in Christ. God bless you Shawn.

[@thepostofficeplayboy4909]

I am the same way. Also the case with Chuck Norris

[@christopherellisor2550]

Absolutely. Couldn't agree with you more.

[@dontyoudare7767]

I'm amazed how this man wrestled with other Tough & mean spirited wrestlers from WWE ! And he is a born-again Christian ! I just pray he will certainly be a good Follower of Christ!? Because we have people who I hate to say are Not truly born-again or are they truly converted !? - AnywAys God bless !!

[@christophertheconqueror8751]

amen, forget an entertainer he is a child of God!

[@shakiraharris3254]

Can I get a AMEN? 🙌🏽❤🙌🏽

[@philrigden882]

What a polite and respectful guy Shawn is.

[@zelmansamuel2072]

true

[@KEICRUMBIE]

He wasn't always this way

[@bryanwhite5766]

FLORIDA GATOR he treated people the way they treated him when he went solo

[@ex90steen78]

hes from texas...

[@TheHurdyGurdyMan.]

He’s sure come a long way since the 90s

[@Mr1152451]

My respect for HBK has escalated to an epitome of unscalable heights. Inarguably one of the greatest entertainers and yet one of the humblest humans that ever walked on land.

[@nyronfranklin5789]

He use to be the exact opposite. It is truly a testament to the Power of the Love of CHRIST.

[@danielsarn3823]

I'm not religious and I don't get into the whole God and Jesus stuff, I'm a wrestling fan, but I'm so glad and happy Shawn got his act together and if finding God and being saved from drug addiction helped Shawn become a better and clean person then terrific, I couldn't stand it if Shawn had died from drugs or other bad stuff, good on you Shawn.

[@soawkwardshow]

I feel the same way.

YOU SHOULD ACTUALLY READ THE BIBLE FROM COVER TO COVER LIKE A BOOK THEN MAKE YOUR DECISION

[@eileenmann1255]

I have been watching WWF/WWE since I was 4 years old.I have seen just about everything there is to see but let me tell you this much..It is not easy to reform yourself from ANY addiction especially when you make the kind of money like Shawn makes.He made the right choices and God gave him what he needed to live through it.God Bless..xo

[@SavvySide964]

Good things happen to good people ... God bless HBK

[@timm441]

Shawn was going down the road of fame and money and all the ego type stuff that went with that for a long time. Apparently he realized he just wasn't happy and changed his ways. I loved his wrestling career, was the best times for wrestling, but hats off to him for finding what makes him happy and gives him peace.

[@gavinwood8431]

I thought I couldn’t admire Shawn anymore than I did, but what a guy. Good for you 👍🙌

[@richardbain8746]

Thanks for sharing!

[@bforbillyx5065]

I love Shawn Michaels

[@JJ-Malone]

"The book's available where books are sold" Gotta love that lol

[@tomismop]

I know Pats an old fart but that is how books are plugged in ads.

[@EM-tg4ft]

I had a spinal fusion and when I see what Shawn did in that ring after being fused gives me hope that I can do anything I want and still be ok. Obviously, I would not want to wrestle but the simple things like skiing and boxing. I remember meeting him after his first match back and I asked him how does his back feel and he said it feels like I have been hit by a truck and then ran over. I know that his back was killing when he wrestled, but he did a great job wrestling for 8 years after the fusion.

[@seanthebaptist6757]

He's so right about the idle hands, I can relate. I'm so happy Shawn is happy even though I'm not a devout Christian, I can respect him. Thanks for all the childhood memories HBK, the best there was.

[@Eagles.Fan.Since.Super.Bowl.52]

How can you not like Shawn Michaels? Dude seems like such a nice guy.

[@nellsun2521]

He screwed Bret.

[@tthetopofmygame]

Bret screwed Bret

[@GUnSNRoSeSrOcKzz]

That's true, but people are always digging into his past too much, like he people don't care if he changed. They don't know difficult it was to escape from addiction.

[@bkohler89]

I've been silent about this for YEARS and it's time i spoke my mind on what's bothering me. in December 2010 i saw a shoot interview with Shane Helms (Hurricane) and he started talking SO much stuff about Shawn Michaels and that his faith is a "work" (aka scripted) It was NEVER scripted, He truly is a man of the Lord Jesus Christ. He became a born again Christian on April 24th 2002. What you're seeing in this interview is REALLY him. God bless this man

[@POOPmasta85]

Shawn's moonsault is my favorite.

[@GUnSNRoSeSrOcKzz]

Best moonsault!

[@melaniewhitt9271]

great wrestler it is so wonderful to see him finally at piece with himself god bless you Shawn Michaels

Micheals partied with Razor that was a risky point. Micheal you are the Show Stopper. Much love to ya. We as WWE audience members need more guys like you Micheal.🙏

[@jenniferramos1322]

[@rodbrown8306]

Man what a blessed guy, all that and then Jesus too!......you're an amazing man Shawn M. Blessing to you and family from Rod B in Australia.

[@nziladaniel8603]

Love can change this world ! God bless you brother Shawn !

[@BEEyonced]

My fist love. My biggest love. By the age of 11 at 1992. The most perfect man. No-one ever came 1% close. Soul recognizes Soul! I had no idea on his massive struggles from virtually the beginning. But many things make even more sense now. Art imitating life was really the easy storytelling for WWF story-writers. I'm so happy for him I literally cried. God already blessed him in showers - his wholesome career was perfection! A thousand by his side struggled while he rose and rose and rose and rose. Even the Bad Karma Back-Injury retiring him early at 32 just climbing to the top was actually Good Karma! Finally settling and finding himself!

[@abutterfield701]

100 percent an addict, but im really really genuinely happy that his journey with drugs and alcohol was able to end so easily, i hope his story is as inspiring for others as it was for me. What a humble man

[@Deanster46]

Happy for the man. Following the Lord is a tough and narrow road. Stay the course brother!

[@ironman2326]

So glad to see Shawn continuing in the faith. He, Sting, the Legion of Doom, and Luger were my favorites when I was a kid and I'm glad to see they all put their faith in Christ!

[@keyboardwarrior9060]

Fair play. He's a proper man now. Not the diva he was before.

[@gloryaroundtree837]

Shawn Michael s is one of my favorite favorite wrestler's. He is Mr. Wrestlemania. He is the best! I loved watching him wrestle. From the time he was a Rocket until he went solo! Absolute BEST!

[@kinghiggins5021]

One of my favorite wrestlers I'm so happy for him

[@rickylyon3846]

I was always a wrestling super fan and Shawn was my favorite wrestler. Then I got saved in 1998. When Shawn returned in 2002, I was literally jumping and screaming in my living room. So, Imagine how overjoyed I was when I went online and found his first interview for WWE after returning and he's talking about accepting Jesus Christ in his heart and being a born again Christian and having overcome his drug habits and all. That became one of my happiest moment involving wrestling.

[@missnwo9563]

It really is great he put his life together were losing to many wrestlers i think having a great family helps like shawn has very happy for him

[@hardcorgamer007]

amazing and inspiring, such a legend

[@djangounchained2938]

Great to see your transformation as a Christian Shawn !!!

[@poorchristopher15]

How do you know it isn't a gimmick? WWE stars are masters at playing characters.

[@DACNM]

A great thing for HBK, God Bless You.

[@2000Betelgeuse]

I think I kind of know what Shawn alluded to, god came to my life without a major tragedy, he just came all of a sudden (and I was as anti-religion as you could get)and I went to church on a Sunday, went to bible study and that was it....I still have challenges in my life but with god's help I carry on and I feel I'm not alone

[@joselozada24]

Its great to see Shawn soo happy! I saw this interview and i still want to hear more from Shawn! It great to see him turn his life around! Im Christian and know that when God goes in your heart you become a new person! Who could have thought years ago that Shawn Michaels would become a born again Christian!

[@chrissyprice9829]

Got to love Shawn....the thing is these super stars have got plenty of cash n support....its alot harder for ppl who are all on there own numbing there pain put knowing they become an addict along the way 💔💔💔

Shawn Michaels was raw talent and a fantastic wrestler. Top three for me along with Curt Hennig and Bret Hart.

[@sarayabellawwe5076]

I’m not a religious person, but I’m glad he found it and it helped him to be a better version of himself.

[@majahamthupha1731]

So I guess the difference between Shawn and other wrestlers is that he has a wife that consistently prayed for him to be saved.

[@zelmansamuel2072]

So happy to see Shawn Michael's Loves JESUS and has given his life to JESUS.

[@bryanmmusic]

Zelman Samuel why are you happy about that?

[@zelmansamuel2072]

+Bryan M good question. But he loves Jesus n has become a Christian. Seeing others who love the Lord makes one feel happy.

[@davekemp1808]

I was fortunate enough to see he went to a ComicCon a couple years ago. I traveled almost 2hrs each way, paid a couple hundred dollars (between tickets, photo op & autograph) and it was worth every second & every penny. He's become such a reformed man & with him being my favourite, that fills me with such great joy.

[@DTHRILLS.DANIEL.THRILLRIDETV]

Met him at wrestle mania 12 after party as a kid.

[@BEEyonced]

@@DTHRILLS.DANIEL.THRILLRIDETV Congrats. It was the night of his life! 1st WWF Heavyweight Championship! Can you please share - I'm intrigued now! I never met him... was way to young... and then lost interest growing adult until recently. I lost my smile basically on these hard times. No drugs ever involved. I only hear ppl turning around from drugs... but life is tough as itis drowning you. I turn to may happiest childhood escapism.

[@DTHRILLS.DANIEL.THRILLRIDETV]

@@BEEyonced my dad knew some one behind the scenes. The after party was a buffet type vibe. The million dollar man didn't party so he took me around meeting almost every one. Bret and taker didn't show. It was amazing. Shawn had a group on women on his lap and had them get off to take a photo with me. Times do get tough trust god !
