Heartbreak & Triumph: The Shawn Michaels Story

by Shawn Michaels, Aaron Feigenbaum (Contributor)

Winning and losing. Heels and babyfaces. Kliqs and Curtain Calls. Tearing down house shows and tearing up hotel rooms. Ladders and cages. Vacated titles and unwarranted suspensions. Works and screwjobs. Heartaches and backbreaks. Forced retirements and redemption. Rock 'n' roll and Graceland. There are two sides to every story; for Shawn Michaels, there is "Heartbreak & Triumph."World Wrestling Entertainment fans think they know "The Heartbreak Kid." He's "The Showstopper" who pushes his high-flying abilities to the limit in the squared circle, on ladders, and in steel cages. He's the company's first "Grand Slam" champion. And of course, he's forever the guy who conspired with WWE Chairman Vince McMahon to screw Bret "Hitman" Hart out of the WWE Championship in Montreal at "Survivor Series" on November 9, 1997.

But that's the side "HBK" has allowed you to see...until now. "Heartbreak & Triumph: The Shawn Michaels Story" introduces us to Michael Shawn Hickenbottom ("Everyone called me Shawn"), the youngest of four children whose "really conservative upbringing" made him shy and "afraid that people wouldn't like me if I showed who I really was." But upon discovering Southwest Championship Wrestling (SWCW) on TV one Saturday night, the preteen Hickenbottom realized instantly what he wanted to become, and years later would convince his father -- a colonel in the U.S. Air Force -- to let him drop out of college and pursue his dream.

From there, Hickenbottom fully recounts the events that led to "Shawn Michaels's" tutelage under Mexican wrestler Jose Lothario; working matches at Mid-South Wrestling under the guidance of Terry Taylor and the Rock 'n' Roll Express's Robert Gibson & RickyMorton; flying high with Marty Jannetty as "The Midnight Rockers" in the American Wrestling Association (AWA); and how a barroom confrontation in Buffalo almost prevented the tandem from ever joining the World Wrestling Federation. "The Rockers" would drop the "Midnight" and climb to the top of a tough World Wrestling Federation tag-team division in the late 1980s, though Michaels confesses how a "fear of abandonment" stagnated his desire to participate in singles competition, pressured him into a marriage he wasn't ready for, and drove him to drinking heavily and downing pills "just to get through the day."

With the impact of some "Sweet Chin Music" (Michaels's Superkick finisher), "Heartbreak & Triumph" expresses the "sour note" that dissolved Michaels's partnership with Jannetty and started his transformation into "The Heartbreak Kid." You'll learn firsthand of the "unfair" allegation that brought about HBK's classic Ladder match with Razor Ramon at "WrestleMania X" ("I lost the match, but I made my career"); the incident in Syracuse that set the stage for Shawn's unbelievable "comeback" victories at "Royal Rumble 1996," and in the Iron Man WWE Championship match with Bret Hart at "WrestleMania XII"; and how his escalating backstage feud with Hart inadvertently built toward the formation of "D-Generation X," as well as the first-ever "Hell in a Cell" contest against The Undertaker at "Badd Blood" in October 1997.

Beyond the squared circle, Michaels clears the air about his days running with "The Kliq" -- Kevin Nash ("Diesel"), Scott Hall ("Razor Ramon"), Paul Levesque ("Triple H"), and Sean Waltman ("The 1-2-3 Kid") -- their contributions to WWE's wildly successful "Attitude"era, and the consequences of their uncharacteristic Madison Square Garden "Curtain Call" in May 1996. And for the first time anywhere, Michaels shoots completely straight about his role in "the biggest scandal in wrestling history," the infamous "Montreal Screwjob" at "Survivor Series 1997."

While reliving the crippling back injury that forced him to retire in his prime following his WWE Championship loss at "WrestleMania XIV," Michaels credits the new loves in his life -- his second wife Rebecca, his children, and his newfound faith -- with giving him the strength to kick his habit, recover physically, and make a jubilant return to the ring at "SummerSlam 2002" (in a Street Fight against best friend Triple H, no less). Now back on top and doing what he enjoys most, the WWE Superstar regards "Heartbreak & Triumph" as the perfect means "to review my life, and attempt to figure out how I became the person I am."

[Ben Phillips · Rating 3 out of 5]

Written partly by Shawn and partly by a ghost writer, on behalf of the WWE, the book, like many other wrestling memoirs, charts most of the career of one, if not the greatest wrestler to ever enter the squared circle. Tales from his early days growing up in Texas to his dad loaning him the money to be trained at 19 as a professional wrestler to his chart-topping success as well as the infamous Montreal Screw job.

Interesting points:
The book gives an outline of how a 'small guy' made it in a 'big man's sport and became a legend in the process.

You get to hear another version of events regarding the infamous Montreal Screw Job. It wasn't all Shawn's fault. Bret has some blame to consider and accept.

Re-visiting some of his early career matches, how he and Marty met up and created one of the most memorable tag teams the WWE has ever known.

Enjoyment:
I like Shawn's take on the Montreal Screw Job. If you have read Bret's book, and I highly suggest that you do, you can piece together what actually was going on at the time. All of the friction and the hate towards each other (between Bret and Shawn) turns out, a lot of the time, to be miscommunication.

I also enjoyed how he and Marty first started in the WWE and the humorous tale of being fired the very same day they walked into the world's biggest wrestling company, and they were given their marching orders after a bar incident.

Shawn, being Shawn had a ton of heat with many guys, and this reflects in his many opinions of many different wrestlers that he has either known or worked with over the years.

Objections:
Shawn's memory from certain aspects must get fuzzy from time to time. Some memorable events, such as his 'relationship' with Sunny, are not mentioned within the book. (Maybe his now wife would have something to say about this fact, who knows?)

He is quick to blame everyone else for the mistakes or the issues he had with wrestlers, etc. Nothing is ever Shawn's fault, and he spends a good proportion of the book explaining how he was always looked on as the 'bad guy'.

He mentions the Kliq as his real friends and that everyone was against them, much like the above paragraph. Everything the Kliq did was for the business, and guys did not help themselves by not liking them. When reading and listening to many wrestlers' opinions on the Kliq, I have never heard one say that they thought the Kliq was a great asset to the WWE.

The last few chapters seem to be rushed. Either a deadline was approaching or they needed to quickly wrap up the story so far for whatever reason. The last few chapters are devoted to his wife and his religion. Now, there is nothing wrong with being religious, but this is a wrestling book, and Shawn again tries to paint himself as being born again and as a changed person. Something that, after reading, did not convince me one bit. The content all seems forced, like the book would not get released unless Shawn was able to shout from the rooftops about how he has been saved.

Final Thoughts:
Before reading the book, I had a 'fan hatred' towards Shawn. This is mainly in part to my being a massive Bret Hart Fan (I even wanted Bret to beat the British Bulldog in 92 at Summer Slam, in my home country!!!) I did try to lay that aside, but I have listened and watched too many documentaries/shoot interviews from other wrestlers, both past and present, to say that even after reading this book, I still feel, if not more so now, a strong dislike towards Shawn Michaels.

To me, Shawn puts too much emphasis on trying to convince everyone he was unjustly treated and that he was always a victim. Even going so far as to say that it was all Marty Jannetty's fault in the Rockers breaking up, which is nowhere near the truth.

This is nowhere near the best Wrestling book by far to pick up and read, but it does give some interesting points for any wrestling fan to think over, in particular the Montreal Screwjob. Pick up as it is a short and easy read, but for that price, you may be throwing the book down in an angry rage over Shawn's point of view.

I enjoyed reading this book. I found out a lot of things that I didn't know about Shawn Michaels. I found out a lot of things I didn't know about wrestling history. Because I have only been a wrestling fan for about four years now, it was fun to go back in time and see how things were back in the day. That being said, this book is dated when it comes to Shawn Michaels as a human. This book was written in 2002 and it's very obvious that Shawn Michaels has changed as a human since then. It was intriguing to see what Michaels thought of things and how he viewed people at certain points in his life. It was very intriguing to see how he viewed certain parts of wrestling history that he himself was part of and some things that he was not a part of. He wrote a second memoir in 2014, which I am reading next, and I am so curious to see how his opinions and views have changed since 2002.
Overall though, I did enjoy this, it just was not one of my favorites that I have read.

This was an insomnia book...not much different from any of the other ghostwritten wrasslin' autobiographies. good, though, to have insight into the whole Montreal Screwjob from the lynchpin. Back in the day, I had Bret's back in the whole deal. I turned the page a while back. While there was nobody in the right in the whole deal, I think Bret was more in the wrong than anybody.

A great book. One of my favorite wrestlers ever from the 1990's. I was a fan of all fans. I would dance to his music, collect magazine covers. I loved his ring gear, music, attitude and humor (especially in DX) I've watched several of his DVD's but this is the first time I read his book. I learned a lot about HBK. One can argue that he is still cocky in this book, but one can not deny what he does in the ring. The fact that he put John Cena over...many times is a reason to be a fan. he jobbed to some who he shouldn't have.

Anyways some great insight into his life and how things got started in WWE how he first met many of his buddies, the formation of factions, issues with Marty. Drugs, the parties. Everything is told through Shawns eyes and he takes his time writing it giving us a detailed story. And then there's Bret Hart. After years I was finally able to hear the real story of what happened in Montreal. I felt the stress of Shawn getting to me. Much credit to him, I could never have lived with the guilt.

There is a quote in this book that couldn't be any more truer and showed me that hey Shawn really does know the business and what's going on today: "That's one of the problems with the business now, we put titles on guys hopping that it's going to get them over. You need to get over first, than get the title." The IC title has lost its meaning because it never gets defended, same with the US title. They slap the belt on someone for months and months but never have the defend it, in hopes that the belt will get the individual over. it fails.

I really liked his transformation into a Christian. I could tell he was different when he returned in the mid 2000's He really did act like a new born person. And I am glad. you look at the long list of wrestlers lives that drugs have taken, Shawn could have been one of them hadn't God brought his wife into his life and prayed so much for him.

"..Continue praying to the lord and talking to him. reading his word and letting him talk to you. You can't have a relationship with somebody once a week at church. it's an everyday thing.."

[Steve · Rating 2 out of 5]

This self-serving book was one of my least favorite wrestling auto-biography. Who are we kidding, this is the worst. Shawn spends many pages putting down many wrestlers, including Jean-Pierre Lafytte, Bret Hart, and others, wile stating that he did not do this to be negative, he was just being honest. He also makes no apologies about this. Then he makes a call to his religion, being a born-again Christian. IF you ask me, that is being two-faced. I can slam people but then say that today, I am a man of God. He is such a hypocrite. I have lost respect for him. This is the first book that got me angry at the WWE performer.
Read if you are a fan of hypocritical, self-serving, hide behind religion people.

[Patrick · Rating 3 out of 5]

While this wasn't a bad Autobiography, It wasn't amazing or anything either. On the subject of Bret Hart, While I understand this was his view of things, I didn't really agree with his opinions or believe what he said happened between him and Bret. Montreal 97 Survivor series will go down as the most controversial event in wwe or wrestling history. Also putting Steve Austin and Hulk Hogan on the same category when it comes to wrestling ability is absolutely wrong and quite disrespectful to Austin. Nevertheless Michaels proved that even though he has been changed and has gotten his life right with God. He's still Shawn Michaels.

Rating - 8.2

Hard to get a feel as to whether Shawn is being fully truthful on how things played out during his career; He alludes to being a pain but more often than not, maintains an innocence to his politicking image

Starting to understand the Wrestling book formula (just like a match) - have one startling admission (Montreal Screwjob) & then a bunch of match descriptions & innuendo that does not reveal much else about the backstage

Great story about a man who overcame his demons and turned to God for the answer.

[Logan Weatherly · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great bio. Very imformative and honest. I loved this book. I have a new respect for HBK and other wrestlers. A must read if you're a wrestling fan.

[El_kiablo · Rating 3 out of 5]

My main takeaway from this is that dudes SUCK.

So much of this book concerns the backstage politics of wrestling - which is fair, given the fact that Shawn Michael's is known for his out-of-the-ring antics almost as much as he is known for his in-ring talent. And honestly all of the backstage stuff sounds exhausting.

There's a lot of bragging, and backstabbing, and scheming, all of it motivated by a mixture of ambition, envy, and ego. And in the right context I would find all that to be fascinating. Hell, one reason why I read books about politics and politicians is because that sort of Machiavellian action has always been appealing to me. But here it just reads as petty, and a big part of that is because a lot of it comes from a very boring source: masculine insecurity.

The wrestlers don't seem to be able to handle any sort of emotion with any level of maturity. When someone gets hurt they gossip about how they are faking it; when someone succeeds they bitch that it was unearned; when someone fails they gloat. It's all very predictable, and it isn't very nuanced; it's exactly what you would expect from a super-macho basic bitch who can't admit what they are really feeling because doing so would make them seem "weak." A Machiavellian scheme is compelling when it's dastardly; when the entirety of the scheme is "I'm going to suck up to the boss when no one is looking because I absolutely have to be the center of attention but I don't want everyone to know that I'm needy" ... well, then it is just sad.

That said, a big part of my dissatisfaction is that I read this at the wrong time of my life. I'm only reading this now because I happened to find this at a used bookstore a few days before my birthday and I happened to know that I share a birthday with ol' HBK so it seemed like a sign from the universe that now was the time to give this a chance - but I haven't watched wrestling in a decade and a half and my understanding of masculinity has really evolved since the last time that I attended a WWE event. I probably would have felt very differently about this if I had read it back when it was published, when I was still sorta nostalgic for wrestling. (I definitely would have had different feelings about the Chris Benoit chapters if I had read this when it was hot off the presses, back before he killed his entire family / himself.) But at this point in my life I don't really have much use for any sort of performative aggression, either emotional or physical, so that means I don't really have much business reading the autobiography of a man who is equal parts diva, athlete and entertainer.

[David · Rating 4 out of 5]

Say what you will about professional wrestling. I've been fascinated by it since I was about 9 years old, watching the WWF (now WWE) broadcast out of New York City on a black-and-white TV. I look at professional wrestling as theatre for really fit people. You simply can't throw big bodies like that at each other over 100 times a year without being superb athletes.

My all-time favorite wrestler to watch was Shawn Michaels. He wasn't the biggest or the strongest, and he certainly wasn't the brightest light in the harbor. That said, nobody but nobody worked harder to put on a great show than HBK did. Even with a torn ACL and busted vertebrae, HBK would do whatever it took to make the fans say "That was amazing!" He is a phenomenal athlete with boatloads of charisma in the ring- nobody did an entrance like HBK. I'd be hard-pressed to name someone with similar attributes today, although Tessa Blanchard is in the ballpark.

What I didn't know was the man outside the ring. I had no idea about the conservative Catholic upbringing, that Dad was an Air Force colonel, or that he was painfully shy around other people. That is 180 degrees out from his ring persona of a brash ladykiller. I also had no idea about his saving faith in Jesus Christ.

The book is a straightforward telling of his life. He was utterly clueless going into an industry noted for secrecy, complete with its own language. Shawn openly admits that he knew the whole deal going into one of the most pivotal moments in wrestling history, the infamous Montreal Screwjob. His treatment of others is in my opinion fair, even about the people who openly and repeatedly disparaged him.

An uplifting book that is worth reading. If you know little about professional wrestling, you'll learn a lot from this book. #theicon #theshowstopper #HBK

[Luke Koran · Rating 5 out of 5]

Among the pages of the autobiography which features the backstory of the professional wrestler who I most craved to learn more about, “Mr. Wrestlemania” Shawn Michaels hardly disappointed. Updated through the events of Wrestlemania 21 in 2005, Shawn shed new light on all aspects of his personal and professional lives in both pointedly and poignant ways. Though I was partially let down by the lack of comment on the biggest matches of his wrestling career, Michaels made me proud with his telling of his spiritual transformation and the new life he began from 2002 onwards. Despite the fact that I respect the comments made on Michaels’ perspective of Bret Hart and the Montreal Screwjob, I couldn’t help but feel that Hart’s feelings (as noted in his own book and numerous documentaries) remain valid and that the employee-serves-the-company-completely mentality is bad for civilized society in general. I would like to think that if Shawn had gone through the same scenario as Bret Hart, that he would have acted in a very similar way. This book came at a fitting time during Shawn Michaels’ life and demonstrates how anybody can be saved if they simply put their faith in the one true God.

[Rey Quraishi · Rating 3 out of 5]

It’s a sincere and steady read, offering a clear look at his journey from cocky superstar to a man trying to live with more purpose and faith.

The book walks through his early wrestling days, career-defining matches, struggles with addiction, and his eventual spiritual rebirth. Michaels doesn’t shy away from the tough parts of his story, but he also doesn’t dwell too long in the messier details. There’s honesty, but it feels filtered, like he's telling the truth, just not all of it.

For long-time wrestling fans, especially those who followed the ups and downs of his career during the 1990s and early 2000s, there’s plenty to enjoy. The behind-the-scenes moments and reflections on iconic matches are fun and insightful. Still, it reads more like a cleaned-up summary than a raw personal confession.

Overall, it is a decent book, thoughtful, respectful, and clearly written from the heart, but it plays things pretty safe. If you're looking for a deep dive into the darker corners of fame and ego, you might come away wanting more. But if you're a fan of Shawn Michaels or curious about his transformation, it’s worth a look.

[Sophie Crane · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a book that will only have any real meaning if you are a fan of America wrestling and have seen Shawn Michaels wrestle. We all know that TV wrestling is phoney and Shawn Michaels doesn't pretend otherwise but the book makes clear that he and his fellow wrestlers are extremely hard working and fit. I enjoyed the story of a young man with ambition fighting his way to the top and there is no doubt that Shawn Michaels was one of wrestling's top "performers" but for me the sadness of this book is his public bitterness towards others in his profession coupled with his own self adulation. I enjoy watching American wrestling and I enjoyed watching Shawn Michaels, so the book had some meaning and i could relate to the incidents and people he was writing about. If you don't enjoy either, the book will be meaningless to you, but if you do enjoy them, this is a well written and honest book, well worth reading.

[Lucas · Rating 3 out of 5]

I’ve read Bret’s autobiography three times and it’s the only wrestling book I’ve rated 5 stars, so I’m fairly biased toward Bret’s view of events. With this Shawn Michaels biography I didn’t really leave changing my mind on anything major. Shawn repeatedly insists how honest he is, while often not going into detail on anything he did wrong during the “sinful” phase of his career. (Meanwhile Bret’s biography is filled with those types of stories about himself.) Shawn also often says most people didn’t like him in the locker room because of “lies” people told about him online, but then admits to stuff like refusing to lose before saying “oh but I would have if Vince forced me”. So for a book that is ostensibly Shawn “coming clean” about past mistakes, there could have been more coming clean I’d say. Other than that, there’s some good stories from Shawn’s career. It’s just not done with the same passion as Bret’s book.

[SuperReader'79 · Rating 3 out of 5]

I remember watching early WWF in the 80's with iconic tag teams like The Rockers, The Killer Bees, The Bushwackers, Demolition, Strike Force, and the Fabulous Rougeaus. As a lifelone fan, I've been watching Shawn Michaels performa since i was a kid, and this book brought back so many memories.

The reminiscing and the small stories about the territories and the early days of WWF (the era I grew up with) were fantastic. It’s a great read for anyone who loves wrestling history.

That said, I was a bit disappointed he didn’t go into more detail about some of the more controversial aspects of his past—like the rumored affair with Sunny—which he largely glosses over. Still, he focused on telling the story he wanted to share, and overall, it worked.

All in all, it’s a very enjoyable book that wrestling fans will appreciate.

[Pauline Anderson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Heartbreak Kid. Mr Wrestlemania. Shawn Michaels had a few names over his career. This is the story of his life and career right up to Wrestlemania 21. He pulls no punches, and is blunt and honest about his triumphs and problems. Sometimes it feels like reading a bit of an ego trip (it is his autobiography, after all), but overall, a great read that got me less screen time (which is a great thing!)

HOWEVER - If you don't want to know about all the workings that go on behind the scenes in the world of professional wrestling, then maybe this book might not be for you. I won't be watching wrestling in quite the same way again, but I'm still keen to read the stories of other greats from the wrestling world.

[ReadinRasslin · Rating 4 out of 5]

The first of two Shawn Michaels autobiographies is incredibly in depth and unapologetically honest (sorry Bret, a good chunk of the book is spent shitting on you). Shawn covers everything from the start of his career up until about WrestleMania 21 in 2005. This is prime born-again Shawn too, and a lot of the book is filled with HBK regretting his former actions and behavior. There's definitely some parts here and there where he's toning down the enormity of his past transgressions in the '90s, but he owns up to them nonetheless. Shawn's books will always be polarizing to some based on the very opinionated content within, but I thought it was a solid read and he didn't beat around the bush with anything. He covers just about everything you'd want him to cover in really great, rich detail.

[Laura · Rating 4 out of 5]

I had just watched a documentary about Shawn Michaels and the book was a lot better, which seems to be the way it usually is. What I really liked about it was the easy reading and it felt almost like a conversation in a sense. It was interesting getting some of the ins and outs of the WWE and the rise and fall of the company in relation to Shawn Michaels. The only part I had a bit of a problem with was the Lord stuff at the end but that is my issue and not a problem with Shawn Michaels as that was his experience.
I would say if you are a wrestling fan then this is one of the better, easier, non convoluted reads of one of the WWE's stars.

[Jeffrey · Rating 3 out of 5]

Was a huge Rockers fan growing up, way more Marty then Shawn. Was also a big Bret Hart fan after that, so came into the book really only wanting to read the Rockers part.

Overall it’s a decent wrestling book. Still don’t like Shawn anymore then I did before, heck may like him even less. After reading this book, everything in his career is never his fault. Plus what’s with his dad seeming to be apart of negotiations he has no business being apart of?

Overall it’s a decent read for his point of view but didn’t make me change my opinion of him or the Kliq.

[Jesse Flood · Rating 4 out of 5]

) I was a huge Shawn Michaels fan growing up, so I read his book. He was the son of a colonel. He thought college would make him happy, but then promised to commit fully to professional wrestling school if his parents would pay for it. You learn of his tag team and fall out with Marty, before going solo. It covers his rise to champion and his role in the Montreal screw job. As pro wrestling autobiographies go, it's just an okay read.

[Tim Duff · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great wrestling insider book

This is a book about Shawn Michaels dream to become a wrestler, how he did it and how, in the end he was redeemed by becoming a follower of Christ. I have watched wrestling since I was a kid and enjoyed an inside view. More importantly to me was to see a life changed from drugs and alcohol to one that now serves the Lord who saved him. Great redemption story.

[Steven Lloyd · Rating 3 out of 5]

Wasn’t really the read I was expecting after rating his 2nd book so highly, the book I would say is more of a biography with a heavy WWE tilt and rewriting of history, I saw the same in the Bischoff book.
However over the years I know Shawn & Bret patched things up and I love how open Shawn has been about his demons and the receiving salvation, 3 stars but would definitely pick up another book if he were to release one.

[Danny McCormick · Rating 5 out of 5]

I absolutely loved this book. Growing up Shawn Michaels was one of my favorite wrestlers of all time. I loved seeing his take on certain things like the Montreal Screw Job, I loved how he met his wife, I never knew he was previously married. I love how he turned his life around and how things come full circle at the end of the book. Absolutely pick it up if you can. I couldn't put this book down.

Shawn did a great job of explaining his upbringing and his wrestling career in depth. A lot of backstage drama was written about and his passion for the sport was demonstrated.
