Number 7: Shawn Michaels to The Heartbreak Kid

Shawn Michaels

Shawn Michaels was a completely different guy before he became "Mr. Wrestlemania". As a member of The Rockers, Michaels had no personality. He rarely spoke, rarely did anything besides high-flying, and would be a guy that people forgot about. That all changed when he became a really good heel. Michaels would keep his name, but the nickname "The Heartbreak Kid" would elevate him to new heights. Michaels superkicked his partner, Marty Janetty, and would become one of the greatest entertainers in history. It was all about giving him a chance. Michaels got that chance and soared to new levels of superstardom.
