In october 1995 Shawn was inside of a car, outside of a nightclub in Syracuse, New York. He was waiting for his real life friends The British Bulldog and Sean Waltman (X-Pac). While inside of the car, Michaels fell asleep and this is where between 7 to 11 men found him and proceded to beat Shawn so badly it was almost to death.This forced HBK to give up his Intercontinental title. Yet Shawn refused to let his fans down and when he came back, he came back more popular than ever. | ||||

The comeback Kid!
On June 3, 2002, live on RAW, Shawn was introduced as the newest members of another controversial faction, the nWo. At this stage it was thought by many Shawn would still never wrestle again, how wrong they were, luckily for HBK fans everywhere.
The nWo folded soon after. Shawn then moved on to another successful singles run, highlighted by a victory a Survivor Series where he captured the World Heavyweight Championship from Triple H.
Shawn continued to appear on WWE programs and wrestle in more matches, tending to save his strength to put on great in ring performances in just a few main events a year, and you can be sure that every time the fans hear the opening line of his theme,"Sexy Boy." the chants of H.B.K. are still as strong as ever.
In more recent months, Shawn has realised that his body is the best shape it's been in for a while. This has meant he has been able to work much more in WWE programming, you can now see him almost every week on RAW, as well as putting on some spectacular performances at Pay-per-view events. Many fans are hoping for a Heavyweight Title win in the near future, and if his physical health stays good, it's certainly a possibility!
