A man named Shawn Michaels was bestowed upon WWE as the sensation that the company had always been looking for. Shawn Michaels had a passion for the sport unlike any other as he went on to establish himself as one of the greatest performers that the company and the fans have ever seen. While Shawn Michaels had an illustrious and glittering WWE career and was universally loved by the fans from all across the world, there were multiple accounts of The Showstopper having a terrible backstage behaviour with other superstars and an attitude that could rival the best of Hollywood celebrities.

The horror stories led to a lot of heat from the locker room resulting in shoot promos against Michaels that went beyond the ring. This was especially true during the early days in Shawn Michaels’ career. Michaels, however, has evolved from once being the most arrogant personality in the WWE into the most respected.

WWE Career and what is next for Shawn Michaels?

To put Shawn Michaels’ entire WWE career into perspective, Michaels has proved beyond any doubt that he has earned every single moniker that was ever conferred upon him from the beginning of his days in the company to being crowned the Hall of Famer. Shawn Michaels has been regarded by the fans and many in the industry as one of the most iconic performers in the history of professional wrestling and arguably the greatest to ever lace up a pair of boots.

Shawn Michaels has retired from the sport quite a few years ago and it is very unlikely to watch him compete in the squared circle again. As previously stated, Michaels has been employed by WWE as an ambassador and makes occasional appearances.
