Perhaps the most exciting
and charismatic superstar ever to grace a World Wrestling Federation ring,
Shawn Michaels, the founder of the controversial D-Generation X, is the
self-proclaimed ICON of sports-entertainment. Michaels holds the distinction of
being the only competitor in history to capture the "Grand Slam" of
the Federation (holding the Federation Title, Intercontinental Title, European
Title and Tag Team Title).
Injuries have kept the
Heartbreak Kid from competing in the ring since WrestleMania XIV. However, ever
one to seek the spotlight, Michaels returned in November when he was named the
new Commissioner of the World Wrestling Federation! Even though Mr. McMahon
promised to appoint a "free thinking, independent" commissioner,
Michaels’ orders, at first, seemed to have coincided with the interests of The
Corporation.
When Michaels prevented
The Corporation from helping Shane McMahon while he was under attack, McMahon
tried to fire HBK. When that didn't work, he ordered The Corporation to ambush
him. That worked. Michaels suffered severe injuries. He underwent disk surgery
and was soon back in the Federation fold. He still remains unchallenged as the
Federation's Commissioner, and he's out for revenge, making The Corporation's
existence a miserable one.
Michaels recently opened
the Shawn Michaels Wrestling Academy with his mentor, Jose Lothario, in San
Antonio.
