"The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels track record speaks for itself. He has accumulated enough hardware to make just about any WWE Superstar jealous. Michaels was the first-ever Grand Slam Champion, capturing the European Championship once, the World Tag Team Championship twice, the Intercontinental Championship three times and the world championship four times.
But his success didnt happen overnight. HBK knew he wanted to be a professional wrestler since he was 12 years old after he saw his first match. Michaels athletic career began back when he was six years old when he started playing football. He became a stand-out linebacker and was a captain on his high school team. After graduating, he attended Southwest Texas State University, but he soon realized that college wasnt the path he wanted to follow. Michaels thought it was time to begin chasing his dream of becoming a WWE Superstar.
