5 Little-Known WWE Facts You Didn't Know About Shawn Michaels

#4. Michaels was fired from WWE just two weeks after he made his debut

Shawn's career nearly didn't happen — Shawn's historic career nearly didn't happen

Shawn Michaels was just 22-years-old when he made his WWE debut but he will be the first to admit the fact that he was young and reckless which may be why he was fired after just two weeks of working for Vince McMahon's million dollar corporation.

Michaels and partner Marty Jannetty were signed by WWF back in 1987 but were then fired after a bar incident which was apparently a misunderstanding according to Michaels biography. WWE obviously saw the error of their ways and resigned The Rockers just a year later and the rest, as they say, is history.
