Michaels knew what he wanted to be from a young age

Shawn Michaels knew that he wanted to be a professional wrestler when he was just 12 years old, obviously, this was too young for the former Champion to start to train which is why he didn't begin his training for another seven years. Michaels definitely didn't keep his love of the business a secret since he performed an entire match at his talent show at that time and even had the use of fake blood.

Michaels wasn't from a family that pushed the idea of him becoming a professional wrestler, but it's obvious that he was always going to make his way into the squared circle given the fact that he was naturally talented and excelled in the ring when he was given the opportunity.
