At the age of 8 I discovered wrestling and fell in love with it. My wrestling hero? Ain't no other than the Showstopper, the Headliner, the Main Event, the Icon... Mr. Wrestlemania, the Leader of New Generation.. The Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels! ;") Indeed, he was the reason I watched wrestling. He had started in the business during the time that I wasn't even born yet. But I tried to live like I've surrounded his career from the very beginning, officially making myself addicted to Mr. HBK and knowing every detail about him. He's always been my ultimate wrestling idol..always. But from the moment he retired from the WWE and officially left the building, I was just shattered. I felt my heart drop when his career finally got ended during his last match with The Undertaker at Wrestlemania 26. Not only I, but there was a whole bunch of HBK fans that had to understand that he really needed and wanted to focus on his family now and pursue other interests. We support him, we're true fans...so we had to understand that and be happy for him.
It might sound like I was a bit over reacting but, to be honest I almost felt like I didn't know if I'd still watch WWE right after Shawn retired. But looking back on that moment, I see it now as a stupid thought and thankful that it wasn't what I decided to do. Sure, Shawn Michaels was the reason I watched WWE and his retirement devastated me. But another thing is that through HBK, I happened to love WWE and everyone and everything within it as well; so I knew exactly that there was no way in heck that I would depart from this whole WWE fever. It forever stays as a part of me. Shawn Michaels and everything about the WWE occupy an enormously special space in my heart. There are, and will be more times that I can't help but miss seeing him wrestle though. Getting used to it, but still..ya know what I mean?
Anyways, to conclude this blog post I'd just like to tell the world that I've never seen a sports-entertainer as innovative, as flamboyant, as charismatic, as athletic, as influencial, and as marvelous as Shawn Michaels! So you know what folks, I guess what I'm tryin' to say is.. The Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels is the greatest wrestler of all time! And hey by the way, that's not even an opinion; it's entirely a fact. To those who will dare argue with what I just said, why don't you folks examine every memorable match he had and review the tremendous impact he made on the whole wrestling industry? Watch him in the ring, see how the crowd will react; how they yell the loudest for the longest when Mr. Wrestlemania is in action. I challenge you. Lol. I guarantee it, y'all are gonna witness some pure greatness. HBK is simply the best, and the folks just gotta handle the truth.
And when I talk of "handling the truth", I ain't talkin' bout R-Truth alright? :))
"DON'T WHAT ME!"
