#3 Good Friends With: "Stone Cold" Steve Austin

Another great friend of Shawn Michaels is "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. Austin initially never liked Michaels when The Kliq took over the company. As noted, during the 1990s, Michaels had a lot of egos which made many people hate him.
He even refused to lose his WWE Championship against Austin at WrestleMania 14. But, The Undertaker made sure everything happened according to the plans and Austin became WWE Champion by defeating the Heartbreak Kid.
Still, Austin and Michaels have been good friends for about fourteen years. Austin has always praised Michaels career in his podcast and even called him the greatest in-ring performer. Michaels too has appreciated what Austin has achieved in his career.
Michaels even selected Austin to write one of the two forewords for his Wrestling for My Life book. This means that both superstars create an exceptional bond with each other, and will always remain friends in real-life.
