14) Shawn Michaels: Post WrestleMania 14 struggles
Yes, even the ‘Heart Break Kid’ himself fell through some pretty rough times. Following his loss againstStone Cold Steve Austin at WrestleMania 14, Michaels’ future was left in serious doubt. Many truly believed this was the last we would ever see of Shawn Michaels. During his departure, Michaels fell into a deep depression turning to drugs while he was nursing a potentially career ending back injury. A comment made by his little son changed his life; Shawn’s son asked his mother why Shawn was sleeping all the time. This comment really hit the former WWE Champion, so much so that he got up and realized it was time to snap out of it. Shawn turned to a spiritual path in order to get him out of his depression. Michaels found God and became a born again Christian. Following this, his career took an unexpected turn heading back to the WWE. A cleaned up Michaels had a new lease on life. He would later return in the ring taking on his best friend Triple H at Summerslam 2002. The match tore the house down. Michaels would go on to wrestle for another 8 years before finally giving the fans a proper send off following his defeat to The Undertaker. Now that’s how you battle depression!
