Shawn Michaels WWE Moments and Life. Review on Shawn Michaels

Michael Shawn James Hickenbottom a.k.a Shawn Michaels was born July 22, 1965 in Scottsdale, Arizona. He originally grew up in San Antonio, Texas. Shawn currently performs on WWE Raw. He debuted into the WWE in 1984. He made his national debut in the now defunct

American Wrestling Association teaming with Marty Jannetty forming a group called the Midnight Rockers. They won the Tag Team titles twice and had some bloody matches with "Playboy" Buddy Rose and Doug Somers.Citing frustration with their lack of championship success and a wish to break out on his own, Michaels and Jannetty split on an episode of WWF Wrestling Challenge, shown on January 12, 1992 (but taped on December 2, 1991) during a famous incident on Brutus Beefcake's "Barber Shop" segment, when Michaels superkicked Jannetty and threw him through a plate-glass window. Shawn turned heel and became a singles wrestler, taking the nickname, "The Heartbreak Kid" (often referring to himself as "HBK"). In his new gimmick as a vain, cocky wrestler, he took on a manager, Sherri Martel, who was infatuated with him, and even sang the first version of his theme music, "Sexy Boy". Martel was the catalyst for a then-rare "heel vs. heel" feud with "The Model" Rick Martel (unrelated to Sherri), which led to a match between the two at the 1992 SummerSlam PPV.

Entrance Lyrics

Parentheses are used to denote the female chorus. The rest was performed by Michaels himself, or by Sherri Martel (in which case "He's" was substitued for "I'm", and so forth). The song, "Sexy Boy", was originally written for Michaels by Jimmy Hart, a manager who wrote many entrance themes. Hart thanked Michaels personally for continuing to use the song as his entrance music when he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2005.

(Oh, oh, Shawn!) I think I'm cute! I know I'm sexy! I got the looks that drives a girl wild! I got the moves... that really move 'em. I send chills... up and down their spines!

I'm just a sexy boy! (Se-xy boy!) I'm not your boy toy! (Boy toy!) I'm just a sexy boy! (Se-xy boy!) I'm not your boy toy! (Boy toy!)

I make 'em hot! I make 'em shiver! Their knees get weak... Whenever I'm around! They see me walk... They hear me talk... I make 'em feel like they're on cloud nine!

I'm just a sexy boy! (Se-xy boy!) I'm not your boy toy! (Boy toy!) I'm just a sexy boy! (Se-xy boy!) I'm not your boy toy! (Boy toy!)

[Spoken] Eat your heart out, girls! Hands off the merchandise!
