Thank You Shawn


I first came to know about Shawn Michaels when I was 7. He was part of the tag team "The Rockers" along with Marty Jeanetty (the loser). He caught my attention when he sent Marty flying through the glass panel (I admit that I have secretly planned to execute the same move on my classmate in P1). From then onwards, he became one of my favourite wrestlers.


Not to mention, you formed the Degeneration X with HHH. Even though you were tasteless at times, you managed to make us laugh. However, Chyna was a bad inclusion.


Time flies. 20 years later, I was watching his final match at Wrestlemania 26, losing to The Undertaker (yes, the guy above in the banner). Although the match was scripted, I can feel that he really gave his all. All he wanted to do is to entertain the crowd, as he has always managed to so as the "Heart Break Kid."


Shawn, you have captivated the WWE Universe for the last 25 years. Even though you may not wrestle another match again, you will forever be the "Show Stopper" in my heart.


"Ladies and gentlemen, Shawn Michaels has left the building.'
