3) Shawn Michaels: The Real Life Heartbreak Kid
One of the many reasons Shawn Michaels was so difficult to deal with in the 90s was due to the fact that he actually thought he was,”The Heart Break Kid” in real life, according to many former pro wrestlers. Michaels rubbed many wrestlers the wrong way with his larger-than-life persona and ego. Michaels’ ego mixed with heavy drug abuse ultimately led him to believe that he was unstoppable in and out of the ring. His new found lifestyle caused a divorce with ex wife Theresa Lynn Wood, in 1994. Later on, Michaels would meet his future wife, Rebecca Curci. The two would go on to get married in 1999, putting a stop to Michaels’ reckless behavior outside of the ring. Michaels would later get cleaned and become a Born Again Christian. He would later return to the WWE in 2002, after a 6 year in-ring hiatus. Crazy turn of events for one of the greatest wrestlers of all time.
