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.
