Product Description
He is one of the most charismatic showmen ever to grace a WWE ring. He was HBK: The Heartbreak Kid - the most resilient champion in WWE. And pound for pound, he may well be the toughest. He was the first Grand Slam champion - the only competitor to hold every title WWE had to offer at the time. Weighing in at 225 pounds, he was WWE Champion on three occasions, defeating men who were close to twice his size. From the very beginning of his spectacular career Michaels gained a reputation for pushing his body to extremes. He was willing to go the limit: to do whatever he had to do to put on a stunning show - and eventually his body paid the price. In his early thirties, an age when most Superstars are hitting their prime, Michaels had to bow out of the spotlight, plagued by recurrent injuries which had ended - or so he thought - his career. But then, sensationally, after four years out of the ring, in June 2002 'The Showstopper' returned to a rapturous reception from which he has never looked back. He is now once again wrestling at his physical peak and it is a measure of the regard in which he is held that in late 2004 no less than 4 million WWE fans voted him the man they most wanted to see take on World Heavyweight Champion, Triple H at Taboo Tuesday. This is the full story of his truly remarkable comeback, and of his glittering twenty-year-plus career.

 HYPOCRITE, 2008-10-12
All I'm gonna say is this:
In the book, Shawn says one reason he became upset at Bret was he felt Bret was being paid too much, or actually, Shawn was jealous that Bret was making more than he was. Why? I don't know really, because Bret had been in the WWF A LOT longer (going back to before Wrestlemania 1!), had held the tag title, IC title, and World title and had been the face of the company for a while now after Hogan had left....so exactly why was Shawn feeling Bret was making too much??? Why didn't Bret deserve his salary??? Shawn never answers or explains this, and instead felt he should be making the same if not more than Bret.
BUT, Shawn had no problem with the Undertaker (seemingly the only guy he was afraid of backstage) making the amount of whatever his salary was (it could of been more or less than Shawn's). Shawn says in the book he had no problem with the Undertaker contract, that was between him and Vince...but he does have a problem with Bret's???? Again, that logic is never explained, and only leads to reader to conclude that Shawn is/was jealous of Bret and had it out for him. He's a total hypocrite, enough said.
AND to rub more fuel to this fire....Shawn didn't wanna drop the belt to Bret at WM13, so he forfeits the title....but when Bret didn't wanna drop the belt to him at Survivor Series 1997 (and Bret was fine in doing this as his contract gave him CREATIVE CONTROL over his character the last 30 days of his contract) all of a sudden Shawn goes on and says Bret was hurting the business and doing the wrong thing. Once again, only word that comes to mind is HYPOCRITE.
Screw Shawn. Go try to brainwash someone else because I see right through you.

 Heart Break Jerk, 2008-10-10
This guy is a jerk and always will be a jerk The people Shawn Michaels screwed over is a long list. He was never a big draw as champion and had a mediocre arsenal of moves. Grant it Michaels was a good punching bag like Ricky Morton of the Rock N Roll Express. But could never carry a match like Hart, Sting, Flair or Steamboat.
He blames Bret well hell he made Bret insane with his antics. HHH as well is responsible with his daddy in law Vince for Montreal. I'm glad his body is falling apart. He wants to come across as a so-called Christian. He's like most religous people full of it. He just does to keep his ex-stripper wife around. This guy is pure trash!!!!!!!!

 I love this book!, 2008-07-11
I have had a crush on Shawn Michaels for close to 20 years, and this book gave me insight into the life of the Heartbreak Kid. I laughed and cried and laughed again. This has to be one of the greatest books I have ever read. A true wrestling classic.

Must Read for Wrestling Fans of the 90's!, 2008-01-12
Excellent read for any fan of modern day wrestling. The Montreal Screw Job, the birth of Attitude, The Kliq - it's all here - the man who lived through the booming 90's of wrestling. I have read most major wrestling books of the past 10 years and this one is excellent. Shawn Micheals is honest and revealing in this great account of his life. I cannot suggest this high enough. Great book.
