| I am a long time WWE Fan, but more importantly I | | | | top of the wrestling world from 1996 to 1998. I felt |
| am a diehard Shawn Michaels fan. Shawn Michaels has | | | | this way simply because wrestling was no longer his |
| always been my favorite wrestler. When he made his | | | | number 1 passion, or should I say obsession, in life. I |
| return to the ring at the 2002 summerslam event I | | | | waited so long for him to be the WWE Heavyweight |
| was astounded with elation. | | | | Champion. It was awesome seeing him as the IC |
| About 3 and a half years ago I read on the internet | | | | champ in the early to mid 1990s as he was one of |
| how Shawn became a born again christian, and that | | | | the greatest intercontinental champions of all time, in |
| wrestling no longer ultimately established who he was | | | | my opinion, of course. When he first captured the |
| as a person. When I read that wrestling no longer | | | | WWE title in the first ever 60 minute Iron Man Match |
| consumed him the way it once had, I have to admit I | | | | against Bret Hart at Wrestlemania 12.. I wanted to |
| was disappointed. I was disappointed because I felt | | | | see his title reign last forever. This is from the |
| that I would never again see the HBK that was on | | | | standpoint of an extreme Shawn Michaels fan. |
